Tempted by Burnout but then again my back catalogue of games is growing seemingly every week

Need to try Unravel 2 with my gf. Tried Overcooked and she's bobbins.
Bought Burnout when it was on sale previously, one of the most disappointing games I've played

...Bought Burnout when it was on sale previously, one of the most disappointing games I've played

I hugely enjoyed Burnout 2 and liked Burnout 3; somehow I've never given Paradise a go as the open-world styling kinda didn't sit with my perspective of what Burnout is. Some folk seem to love it, though!

I'm playing Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion at the moment. A short light palate-cleanser to break up my playthroughs of larger games...

(impulse-buys Xenoblade Definitive Edition) Aw dang it.

I just love that game title .

Ooh! Be interesting to hear how you get on with it, Balla.

[Balladeer]

I got it mostly for the title, to be honest. It's fun though!

I've played Xenoblade 1 before, I should enjoy it. Curious to see if it holds up.

what sort of game is it?

[Balladeer]

Kind of 2D Zelda-esque? Except with bigger emphasis on the funny dialogue. Very short and sweet too, just finished it. A gentle recommendation from me.

If you have Burnout burnout

I'd recommend Horizon Chase Turbo. If I remember rightly you was quite into Cruisin' World? I really like Cruisin' too and I have a bunch of these retro cartoony racers - but I would say Chase is by far my favourite and I would guess you would enjoy it if you like Cruisin'. Haven't got the Senna expansion though, so maybe I should put that right!

Hadn't heard of it - but a funny, 2D Zelda-like, that isn't too long does have me intrigued. I'll have to check it out

You mean, 'short and swede', surely?

[Drumstick]

Paradise for Switch is extremely well optimised; the key I think is understanding what your expectations should be. It's isn't an old school type of Burnout, it's free roaming, providing you the opportunity to rampage all over the city finding jumps, gates, signs etc.

I strawberry floating loved it and pumped in 55 hours according to my game save to 100% the main game and DLC.

Another opportunity missed.

Thanks for the heads-up, Barnsy. I do have Horizon in my Switch backlog - I bought it in a sale ages ago but haven't yet got around to trying it! And, yeah, that Senna DLC does look to be pretty good :-)

The Pocky and Rocky games are great so I'll probably be picking this up too.
