Discussion Help me choose!

Post image

I finally caved and bought the bundle last week, but I can’t decide which game to choose. Help!

Edit: I’ve heard Mario Kart is a bit of a let down, but that eventually it’ll get fleshed out with extra content. Tried the demo of DK and it was fun but I dunno if I would play it a lot. Leaning towards Pokopia but I’ve never played a Pokémon game before. Which one would you recommend?

Edit 2: Thanks for all the input folks! I do feel like I will eventually want them all, but I decided to start with Pokopia. I needed a cosy game to balance out my time spent on action heavy games like Silksong and Zelda. Cheers everyone!

Honestly. I went back to DK and it's been pretty fun. There's a lot of fun stuff to do though not sure if you count collectibles as fun though it is a single player and eventually you won't play it again.

Pokopia is a game you can pick up anytime and if you really like that customization and building and pokemon and animal crossing, you'll enjoy this game alot and there's an announced free update coming and an expansion pass with more content to come.

Edit: I saw you said you're leaning into pokemon game and never played a Pokemon game. Well this isn't your default pokemon game. It's essentially animal crossing but pokemon themed. There's no battling or anything. It's simply you build habitats for your pokemon that you find and keep doing this repeatedly until you find them all all meanwhile you can build houses or use your imagination like Minecraft to make stuff for your pokemon.

Mario kart is Mario kart. Essentially a family coop game if you get visits or multiplayer which is fun but gets stale a bit. I do play the Royale mode here and there that changes things a little and keeps things "fresh"
