Anyone play Cuphead? I saw that it got released for the Switch and I'm thinking about picking it up.

I don't know what they all changed from the initial release 3 years ago, but apparently they fixed most of the major gripes that fans had. The crafting/grinding can get a bit tedious but once you get your ship up and running and build a few settlements, it's incredibly addictive and enjoyable.
The No Man's Sky launch will go down as one of the most disappointing launches in my gaming life. It was literally nothing like they promised, it was buggy, there was no multiplayer, your inventory was so incredibly small for a game that required tons of resources, getting off the first planet was ridiculously hard, no tutorials, it was just a mess.
That being said, the new update has been great. It's actually what the game promised to be just 3 years later. I give them immense amounts of credit for actually working to improve it instead of just calling it a wash. It's a game I hop on when I've exhausted my Overwatch play time.

I still think about how I really enjoyed it for about two days, said so on here, and by like the third day I was completely done with it and never went back. To be honest even as I've seen a number of positive things said about it over the last year or so, I don't know how they could have salvaged it to make a fun game. I couldn't even imagine how.

Curious what others here say too. From my understanding it's a brutally difficult bullet hell style game? Never really been into those.

That's, perhaps, a bit reductionist. Cuphead is great, but the dexterity ask of bullet hell games is generally pretty high.

I’ve been spending the summer trying to clear out my backlog before the new 2K and Gears 5 release. I’m currently playing through Resident Evil 7 and Just Cause 3, Just Cause is the perfect game to pick up and play for short 15 minute sessions liberating areas to kill time. I had been playing the newer South Park game before that, but I finished all the non-DLC quests in it a week or so ago.
Multiplayer wise, I pretty much only play Smite, 2K and Gears online now so that’s made it much easier to knock out these single player games. I just needed a break from the battle royale and CoD/Battlefield genre.

I played some Overwatch. I've been mainly playing battle royale games with some Battlefield V and Borderlands 2 sprinkled in there. I haven't bought FIFA in a few years, maybe I'll get that when it comes out.

Bringing role queue to OW is the best patch they've ever had for the game from a competitive standpoint. Can't wait for it to hit quickplay.
