The game really requires an explorer's mindset - things are not a direct line from quest to quest. My primary gripe is the length of the battles in chapter 3-5 (I'm at chapter 5 now) and sometimes a battle with 4-5 mobs can last many minutes.
In other Switch news, I have Octopath which has not caught me yet. I also have Dead Cells which is flipping amazing. Legitimately hard to put down. I also bought Okami which hasn't aged well from the gameplay, but it looks so damn pretty on the small Switch screen.
I honestly feel the battles are too fast right now, and whenever I'm having a long epic battle there's a 50% chance I get one shotted by some roaming level 80+ dickhead just as we're nearing the end.

We really need a new side scrolling platformer for this. Donkey Kong country was great, but I'd love a new Mario side scroller. Hopefully the Yoshi game will be decent.
