It's not super niche, or super on sale, but I'm really enjoying Chained Echos so far.
Hot take: Chained Echoes is a much better game than Octopath Traveler 2.
They’re pretty different vibes tbh. I liked both. I finished Chained Echoes, and gave up on Octopath after putting it down for a few weeks and just never getting back into it.
Chained Echoes is great, but not perfect. Some of the mechanics felt a little broken or not well polished. The difficulty was a little too insane, I had to drop it down to actually enjoy them game. But the story is there, the characters are there, and it’s cohesive and interesting and new and familiar all at the same time.
To me, Chained Echoes is a bunch of good parts that come together to make a great game. Nothing is perfect, but I never felt like any one part let me down (although I could probably be convinced that the gem system, or whatever it was, is very weak).
I'm actually the opposite of you where I had to bump the difficulty up, then the combat felt engaging to me and I really enjoyed it.
