This year's TI prize is at the lowest, but the Aegis is still the main goal. Who do you think will take it? I am rooting for Team.Liquid!

Playoffs starts!

Let's start another thread of game recommendations. The rules are simple:

- Recommend a game that you enjoy playing.
- Share your reasons why!

I recommend playing [Super Mario Bros. Wonder](https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-mario-bros-wonder/). I tried the game, and it feels different from the other Mario games. Most video game stores have a display stall where they demo the game, one of them is that game. Please check it out. It can accommodate 8 players at the same time. It may be fun when it comes to Party With Friends Game Night.

I would like to share this with your all because there are some websites that are having a FIRE SALE this week on all video games. But not all people will be going to get the sale. Check your local video game stores if they have one.

We are now in the digital age where physical games are not important. But some people prefer "subscription" based service where they can play their games on the provided service. Others are buying their games Day One either digital or physical. Most of us games are going to get their games when the price is right, if they are on sale, or someone will give us games.

I will hand this question to you. How do you purchase your games? Are you a subscription based" gamer? A DAY ONE purchase gamer? An "All Digital" lifestyle gamer? Or a "cheap" gamer? (That last one does not count, but that is up to you). :))

How Do You Purchase Your Games?

I noticed most of the gamers here are either PC gamers or Mobile Gamers. Some here are Xbox and PlayStation gamers. Few are into the Nintendo Switch games. What is your prefered gaming system and why?

ATTENTION: Gamers Of WhaToPlay

Good day.

From here on in, I get to start the weekly game recommendation thread.

What game(s) would you recommend to the members of our community? Even cooler if you can share your reasons why.

Sorry again, Boss [@neil](https://whatoplay.com/u/neil/). I have to start this discussion for this week.

I recommend playing **[SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V](https://whatoplay.com/switch/shin-megami-tensei-v/)** for the Nintendo Switch. I have put this on my 90% of my backlog shelf, and now I have the time to put more gameplay to this game. This game is a Pokémon-like game, but for adults. More demon summoning and more demon collecting, than monsters. I highly recommend you guys play this game, and WhaToPlayers reviews are 10 rated!

Recommend a Game (October 2 to 8, 2023)

We're at the last quarter of the year and not many promising games are releasing soon.

Of all the games you played this year, what's your Game of the Year?

What's your GOTY?

Thanks to Yumyum for starting last week's Recommend a Game thread.

For this week, the same rules apply.

- Recommend a game that you recently played.
- Share your reasons why!

I'm stuck to playing AC6. I've been playing it for about a month, having clocked 50 hours on it. I'm the last chapter and I can't wait to finish the game. It really is a fun game to play. It can get frustrating but the pay off after each run is so rewarding.

Recommend a Game (Sep 25 to Oct 1, 2023)

There were many great games that took the spotlight during their release date, but sad to say did manage to get a sequel. What game(s) do you think deserves a sequel and why?

A great game that deserves to have a sequel?

Some games give a huge advantage to melee characters, but in other games, it's the other way around. It always depends on the video game itself as well as on your playstyle, and for me personally, I am much more of a melee type of gamer since I played countless roam positions on different MOBAs and I honestly enjoyed it. I tried playing range heroes, but reality slapped me that I should stick on using melee characters xD

Do you mostly prefer using melee or range characters in a MOBA game?

Game storylines that remained with you and had a great impact (negative or positive) for a very long time. 

Mine was "To The Moon" 

What game storyline that stayed with you through all these years? 

Storylines of games that had a great impact to you (negative or positive) for a very long time...

Mine is "To the moon". It's and indie pixel rpg that made me bawl my eyes out

What game storyline stayed with you through all these years? 

Buying games that i cant play and buying games for a friend that cant play, #WHATAWASTE 

What's your biggest gaming regret?

I was reading WhaToPlay site for some articles and recent posts lately and stumbled across this post on one of the [Game Playlist](https://whatoplay.com/list/10193/).  The games mentioned on the list are great games that I have owned and played outside that console. I want to know more about what you can offer on this and your thoughts about it.

Taken from Wikipedia.

*"A **hidden gem** (plural hidden gems) is something possessing a value or beauty that is not immediately apparent, which therefore has received far less recognition than it deserves. In video games, it is a hidden item for a player to find."*

For the life of me, I felt I butchered the playlist with my comment. My sincere apologies to the editor of the playlist, **[@ahmadhawala](https://whatoplay.com/u/ahmadhawala/).** It caught my attention in mentioning "hidden gems" as I wanted to know more hidden gems for the PlayStation4.

As showing support for that playlist, I want to ask with the WhaToPlay community about this. What is a hidden gem for you? What games do you considered as "hidden gem"? I would appreciate if you could post at least 3 games in the same system that you consider them as such.

What is a "Hidden Gem"?

Sorry to say but mine are some of AAA Games, MOBA, Battle Royale, Virtual Novel,

What's a really popular game everyone LOVES but you don't like?

Sorry Boss [@neil](https://whatoplay.com/u/neil/). I have to start this discussion for this week. 

I recommend playing [ANONYMOUS;CODE](https://whatoplay.com/review/39906/) for the Nintendo Switch. For those who have not played the game, please read my review about the game. It is also available on the PlayStation4, PlayStation Vita, and PC.

You might be aware of the recent news regarding Unity's revised pricing model for their game engine. They have introduced a royalty fee structure based on the number of installs for games using their engine. Is there anyone here who is a game developer? I'd love to hear your opinions on this.

I'm curious, what games do you specifically play on your phone?  Not on a tablet... just on a phone.

Ever since I got an iPad, I've been preferring to play mobile games on it than on my phone.  But there are just games that I prefer playing on a smaller screen.

A few I enjoy more on my phone are: **finity. ,  satisgame, like dino!,** and **nekograms**

Do you play games on your phones?

For this week, I still recommend the game Armored Core VI. I'm stuck at Chapter 3, slowly fighting my way to Chapter 4. As I mentioned[ last week](https://whatoplay.com/discuss/375/), it's a really cool game that makes you feel like you're Gundam pilot.
