Azure Lane (switch)
Fun little game to waste some time on. And having it on the switch means i can play on the go.

Fun entertaining game for newcomers and long-time fans!
Gameplay is fairly easy and straightforward, large variety of very likeable characters to unlock and play in both story and episode mode, fun features to explore in picture mode, character models are absolutely fantastic, story mode is great for those who are fans of the anime series and likely enjoyable for newcomers who have a piqued interest, DLC is also extremely affordable and adds lots of characters accessories to enhance your gameplay experience. I also enjoy the way the player can customize their team just before entering each battle (it comes in very handy if you forget to equip or modify your new accessories between battles and event scenes). While I find the battles throughout the game to be a bit shorter in length compared to some mainstream JRPGs, I feel that the large quantity of both mandatory and optional events and combat stages help to create a good balance and make the game’s length a bit more flexible depending on how the user wishes to shift the focus their gameplay between combat and cutscenes. Overall I definitely recommend this to both fans of the series and for those who like cute and entertaining JRPGs with great story content !
