Hello guys, i need your help!!!
I have a 10yo nephew that the parents were talking to me about buying games for an old psp that they found, because they don’t want to buy him a fixed console but i know you guys have better alternatives, more specifically i don’t want a nintendo, i wanted one of those consoles that already come with a bunch of games like fifa, racing games, etc.
What are your recommendations that are worth the price?

"Plok! - Boss Theme" goes hard for a SNES era ost.
Gives a vibe of haunted house turning into Hotline Miami

What is one Switch 2 game that is a “Must Buy” that nobody really talks about? I’m down for suggestions to help expand my library

Dunno if you've had a go at BallXPit, I platinumed it on PS5, but the real joy I found was when I played it on my Portal. Perfect pick up and play game with a real addictive gameplay loop, no doubt Switch 2 is the best place for it.

I am currently diving into the visual/interactive novel genre for the first time. I have little to no knowledge about what’s good or popular. I would appreciate some game recommendations, especially ones which have great stories!

Well, what are you interested in? For anime style stuff, Steins;gate is a good one that focuses on time travel and it's issues. It also has 2 sister series set in the same universe. Cant remember one of the names, but the other id Chaos;head. The fate/stay series is good if you like more fantasy type stuff. All ima say is that Fate involves a war for the holy grail if I remember right. Both of these have multiple anime as well, but i would save them for after. If you want something tragic, The house in Fata Morgana. Im not saying anything about it. Its that good and its an experience. If you want some meta horror, doki doki literature club is a good one. The original is free, but i recommend DDLC+ due to the side content added that fleshes things out more. There's also cooking companions, which i think has a sequal. It is a pretty good game that subvert expectations. Lastly, my personal favorite. Slat the Princess. This game... this game... is amazing. Hand drawn images everywhere. Thousands of dialogue lines fully voice acted, with the Princess being voiced by Nichole Goodnight of The Nosleep Podcast fame, and the narrator and (i think) the player voiced by Jonathan Sims. One of the guys behind and voice acted in The Magnus Archives and the Magnus Protocol podcasts, and was in the Abiotic Factor video game. I do suggest the console version of this game, called the Pristine Cut, due to all of the routes/storyline being expanded, and because who wouldn't want to see glorious hand penciled art on a tv?
