DREDGE

DREDGE, at its core (and as you might imagine) is a fishing sim. But it likely unlike any fishing sim you’ve played before. With multiple mechanics for actually catching fish, from equipment types to player input, DREDGE maintains the classically meditative advantages that all fishing sims enjoy.

Kraken Academy!!

Kraken Academy!! is just about everything I want in a game whose primary setting is high school. There are friends to make, mysteries to solve, and of course the obligatory giant octopus in a lake.

SEGA AGES Phantasy Star

Phantasy Star…the ultimate RPG of my childhood. When I discovered the game was on the Nintendo Switch eShop I absolutely had to have it. I cannot begin to describe the endless hours middle-school-aged me spent mapping out dungeons with a graph paper notebook, step by freaked out step, hoping to not run into horrible monsters.
