Essentially the alchemy version of Stardew Valley. Potion Permit is essentially a game where you play a budding chemist sent to the town of Moonbury to treat the mayor's daughter. Most of the ingredients you need for creating potions are done by going into the forest and harvesting plants, rocks and trees, or even by killing monsters.
The only thing I didn't like is that time seems to pass really fast, and you have to do everything yourself. I'm still early in the game, so hopefully, there will be some automation or even people you can hire to go into the forest on your behalf in the future.
The game design is reminiscent of the old RPGs from the PS2 gen, and gives a nostalgia kickback to those times. Played it on the Switch and on Steam. Probably because it's in the early phase still, there is some dropping of framerate at different points of the game.
Overall, give it a 9.5/10.

I heard a great deal about this game since I played the Skies series when it first launched on PSP over a decade ago, but never had the chance to play it - mainly because it was never localised for the west, and later, it was because I didn't own a gaming PC, and thus, was unable to get the English patch.
When it was announced it's coming on Switch, I was thrilled, as it's the only Trails game (not counting Kuro and Hajimari) that I had yet to play.
Gameplay and storywise, I do admit it hooked me in a lot faster than when I first played Cold Steel. It has a throwback to the PSP and PS2 days when pixel graphics were a thing, and reminds me of when I first started playing Skies.
Lloyd as a character however reminds me a great deal of Rean from Cold Steel (CS1), and I am curious to see his growth and progression as a character.

One of my favourite games of all times. This is the first game I got on the Switch. I was hesitant initially, as I never do well with action games. Less than a day later, I am happily hunting down enemies of all kinds in the field.
Game is surprisingly addicting, and before you know it, you will be investing hours of gameplay.

I played P5R on PS4, and will definitely be getting it once it hits Switch later this year. This game is essentially a sequel to the first game, and newcomers will be lost if you never played that game.
Essentially a hack and slash game instead of the turn based combat in the previous game, the game still kept the basics of sneaking around and ambushing enemies. Dungeons however are easier than the original.
Definitely worth playing if you like Persona games.

Had this originally on PS4, and I was so thrilled when I heard it was going to be released on Switch as well! This is my favourite Persona game of all time! The characters and the story itself are very 'real', as it really hits on the problems that the world faces with unfairness, and how most people literally couldn't do anything to certain people due to the power they held. Whether it is against a teacher, a politician, and even a powerful businessman. The characters too really grew on you, due to their backstories and how well they connect with each other.
Definitely something worth replaying.

I went into this game with some hesitance, even though I've been eyeing it for quite sometime now. But when it popped up on my feed, being on sale, I went with the plunge, considering it it on full release now. It isn't as bad as I feared, and I do enjoy it enough.
You essentially play as a landlord, and have to clean, construct and even tend to houses you own as well as your tenants' problems. Some of the complaints can be really outrageous and makes you feel as if you're handling a bunch of toddlers! But otherwise, the game is interesting enough, and can keep you occupied for a few hours.

I played a Mystery Dungeon on 3DS (or is it DS?) a long time ago, and I did like it enough, so decided on a whim to get this when I saw it available at my local game shop. Not the best game out there, but I do enjoy it a lot more than the mainstream Pokemon games. I'm still early in the game, but I'm enjoying the story so far.
