I've already listened to a fair share of the bigger progmetal bands and now I am searching for something new to listen to. I at least know some of the recommendations from the website Progressive Subway, but they dont do much for me most of the time. Maybe I listened to the wrong stuff.

So now I am asking you: I am looking for albums that you personally think do something unique or genuinely different from other bands. I dont really want the typical Haken or TesseracT copycats (Nospun, Ihlo...), because those usually just make me want to go back and listen to the originals instead.

The bands I like the most are:

BTBAM
Opeth
The Ocean
Karnivool
Haken
TesseracT
Gojira
The Callous Daoboys
Vildhjarta
Car Bomb
Alcest
King Gizzard & TLW

I'm excited to listen to your recommendations

A friend and I are looking for some couch co-op games for Switch / Switch 2. We recently 100% completed Super Mario Bros. Wonder together and had an amazing time with it.

We also recently played and completed It takes Two, Split Fiction and Mario Kart World.

Now I'm looking for our next game, but it's not that easy to find the right one. I'm relatively new to Nintendo, so I haven't played Mario Bros U Deluxe, Super Mario 3D-World, Kirby games...

What we’re specifically looking for is a co-op game where both players feel equally important and involved. Not something where one player kinda feels like the sidekick while the other does everything.

A bit of a challenge would be appreciated too.

I don't really care about the genre as long as the game is just well made.

I'm eager to get your recommendations
