    I can write the entire list but I think that you should actually watch the video to know why these are listed the way they are,

      Same, but Hollow knight is £11, so how it ended up in the $30 bit i don't know. unless hes talking specifically physical i guess.
      Hollow knight could be £60 and still be worth it though jus sayin.

    I highly recommend fire emblem three houses. It is a long game with a fantastic story line and amazing characters. To me it is better than Mario Odessy and Zelda breath of the wild. The only problem for me is what character class I should put my student in and how certifications work. I don’t know if I skipped through the tutorials or not (probably did) but I had some difficulty’s getting seals. I felt dumb when I could buy them in the market. I would also highly recommended looking up what classes best suit you’re student or just go with whatever you want you’re students to be. I don’t think that is a problem because I most likely skipped through all of the tutorials but it’s an amazing game 10/10.

      nani I actually love the golden deer. They gave you so much information about who lady Rhea really is and why Sothis is in you’re head. I think the blue lions have better students, but the students in golden deer are still fantastic. I also think that the BL give you more information about who the villains are in the first chapter, example Lord Lonato and Sylvain brother (forgot the name). I don’t like what they did with Edelgard in the BL route, like why do they make her a monster. The final boss in golden deer I feel is much better. I finished BL and GD route and I’m in the middle of the BE route
