    Fire Emblem: Three Houses is another must-have release for the Nintendo Switch. Featuring some of the most robust and enjoyable turn-based combat around, along with characters you’ll truly want to keep alive throughout the entire 50+ hour story. And with different paths to take, you can play through a different 50 hour game multiple times before feeling like the game has exhausted itself. Greater challenge in the battles would have been a nice addition at launch though, and some of that story does require at least one or two of those replays.

    Overall, Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a game worth waiting for. It’s easily the biggest and most impressive Fire Emblem entry to date. You’ll sink countless hours into this one, forming virtual connections with a wide range of interesting characters as you study and fight together. If you’re a fan, you’ll love it; if you’re new to the series – well, there’s never been a better time to get started.

    Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    It's a pretty good game but in my opinion, the story is not as good as Awakening, Fates, and Echoes on the 3DS. I did still spend 200+ hours on it even though this game is lower than the above on my ranking. My favourite house is Blue Lions and my favourite characters are Ashe, Yuri, Dorothea, Petra, and Ingrid.

    Loved every bit of it

    I loved the game, well still do. The socializing aspect can sometimes be a bit annoying especially when I couldn't find the people. The combat was amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of grid-based strategic combat but Fire Emblem made it fun for me. The characters are amazing and fleshed out so it was fun to talk to them and drink tea with them.
