Little Noah: Scion of Paradise has peak character design. Here’s the normal and avatar burst versions of Blazing Chef Noah.

Anyone remember Battle Champs/Little Noah? ; w ;

It was pretty much Clash of Clans but with a Bravely Default-ish art style.

And finally we'll be all caught up after doing Switch games I've played in the second half of this year and am at least telling myself I'm still working on them:

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes: The character build options are plentiful, and it's nice to be able to play a game with the Three Houses characters that doesn't make me motion sick, but overall it's kinda disappointing and I haven't finished it yet. The balance between busywork in the camp and actual gameplay is weirdly skewed compared to other Nintendo Warriors games, the combat feels less satisfying and less impactful than all of them, and I really don't like the game structure where you have to do multiple playthroughs and can't just have everything unlocked all at once. Yes, I realize most of those things are because they're trying to stay close to how Three Houses handles those things. No, that doesn't make me dislike them any less in this game [since writing this I've played a tiny bit more, and the combat really does not feel good to me compared to the first FEW, or HWDE, or especially not AoC, and I am very disappointed]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: I won't go into too much detail because this one deserves more than a couple sentences and will get its own post later, but the short version is that it's easily my favorite game I've played all year, and it helped me when I wasn't doing great

Little Noah: Kinda forgot I was still working on this one because my Switch is just an XC3 box at the moment [I have continued to forget even though I'm taking an XC3 break], but it's surprisingly fun. It was a semi-impulsive buy (after checking to make sure it's not horribly broken) because it very clearly has the same character designer as Bravely Default and everything is very cute, but the game itself is fun and has a satisfying loop. Framerate is moderately terrible on the Switch though, and I kind of wish I'd gotten it on Steam instead

Hades: Almost definitely the best non-Xenoblade game I've played this year, although I'm not quite done with it yet. I loved everything about Bastion but was kinda disappointed by Transistor and skipped Pyre entirely, so this has been great to finally have a Supergiant game where I like everything about it again. I made it to the final boss and was like two hits from winning on my first try the first time I made it there but got side tracked by other stuff and haven't gone back to actually beat that or unlock more of people's stories after that yet

Axiom Verge: Also not sure whether I'm technically still playing this. I did get along with it better than Hollow Knight in terms of metroidvaniaing I've done this year, and I meant to play more of it, but I've been kind of a mess and there are so many other games [this is probably the closest to being removed from the "still playing" list, like it's fine but it doesn't stand out for me as much as other stuff I'm playing]

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars: Oops almost forgot this one. I stand by everything I said about the demo before, which is also true of the full game so far like half a dozen hours in. It's not quite as interesting as some other JRPGs I've played recently, but it's short and has a good vibe that it does a good job of conveying

I recently got Little Noah: Scion of Paradise for PC. It's a really fun hack and slash roguelite featuring character designs by Akihiko Yoshida who is known for artwork for series like Bravely, Final Fantasy and Nier. I like how the game respects the player's time, offering quality of life features like instantly teleporting to rooms you've been in. 

I cleared the main story of the game yesterday but there's still things to do like airship repairs to complete and Lilliputs to collect. I didn't try it on Steam Deck yet but I think it would be a great game to play on it.

is this too niche.

aka i SWEAR i've seen a total drama life series art thing but when i went to go look for it i couldn't find any SOOOOOOO i made it myself

Bonus:

Alenoah as that one desert duo scene because i was stumped on who i should've drawn for that scene

basically noco i think
