Jedi Fallen Order is on my list of games to eventually pick up. I have enough backlog right now that I'm comfortable waiting for a Black Friday sale or a $20 GOTY Edition.
Still struggling with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. All it's really doing right now is making me want to play through Horizon Zero Dawn a third time.
...if you like exploring, challenging sword combat....
I had to quit the fencing/swordplay games in my Wii because I kept unconsciously advancing on my opponent and it was putting my TV at risk.
Haha, this isn't motion controls, but yeah. I wish there were switch fencing games, and real boxing games too, with motion controls, I'd play a motion controlled punch out every day.
Apparently Beatsaber (VR game) is the way to go for that feeling.

Heh.
I just got a few more games because I got suckered in by a Steam sale. It's hard to remember it's not really a 75% savings if I never get around to playing it.
I picked up Life is Strange and Disco Elysium in that.
I just played the first 5 minutes of disco Elysium mostly to test out GeForce Now (impressed so far) and damn that is a super compelling opening to a game.
I've played through Life is Strange 1 and enjoyed it a lot. It may depend on how irritating you or not you find a certain character though.
The final boss in Jedi Fallen Order just killed me for 2 hours straight. Probably lost 100 times. Going to bed now, game not completed.
I will drop the difficulty to Story Mode tomorrow night if I get this stuck again but I'm hoping it will go more smoothly next time.
Oh, hey! I bought a Nintendo Switch in December primarily to play Breath of the Wild and have fallen back into gaming after a very long lapse. I finished BotW and also unlocked the Master Cycle, although at some point I may attempt to complete the Trial of the Sword beyond the first level.
I am now deep into Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I should put it down long enough to finish Link's Awakening and play some of the other games I haven't started.
