Tchia - it is a relaxing game, but I enjoyed it when I needed a break from intense games or intense life.
You can sail a boat, swim, glide, slide down hills, flip through the air AND transform into object and animals. When you are an object you can hop and throw yourself. When you are an animal you can do whatever they do, fly swim, run, see in the dark, poop on people, break coconuts, and more.
I’m not discounting that kids are kids and are still learning impulse control, but I’m trying to teach them good spending habits or at least consider the value of what they are spending money on before they buy. When I was a kid I didn’t have much money so I did carefully consider purchases ( to an annoying degree sometimes my wife says still). I haven’t forbidden them from buying anything, within reason, but they mostly have my frugality. I’m sure this is a journey lots of parents are on.
I’ve never let my kids play and luckily my kid’s friend’s dad also understands games and does research for things we don’t know and we stuck together on this decision and on fortnight for our kids that are too young for it.
It also helps that I’m staunchly against micro transactions and lecture my kids about how spending real money on a skin is stupid every chance I get.
Do you play the same games together often? In that case unless it is a couch co-op game (some are) you would need a second switch with the same game.
You can have multiple profiles on a switch and can share games between profiles on that switch. If it’s physical you can just play that game on any switch on any profile (just whoever has the cartridge). If it’s digital, if you buy it on the primary profile of a certain switch (make sure you do this) then all the other profiles on that switch can play that game too. If you want to share digital games between different switches it’s more complicated, but it requires cloud syncing and some other shenanigans I couldn’t explain.
They are all portable but you might be talking about the switch light which doesn’t have removable controllers. If you have a tv one for everyone, the you either need the controllers from the other switches or extra controllers (joy con style or normal controller style) to play together. Some games can be a lot of fun to play on the tv together. Check how many people a game can play.
I hope I answers some of your questions.
I couldn’t get into it either, but I loved mindustry (that someone else mentioned)
