31. Pokemon Legends: Z-A 🗼

An incredible experience that understands everything this era has been building up to. This has the best animations in the series and the presentation is through the roof! This era has been a rocky one
But this, Arceus and scvi current state make me excited for the future

30. Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore 🎶

A delightful game that made me smile constantly <3 I loved how it incorporated a mix of smt combat with fire emblem mechanics. But also this feels like a fun inbetween of p4 and 5 and what led to the incredible combat of p5 royal
shoutouts to tsubasa btw :3

29. Hollow Knight: Silksong 🕸️

I... took so long to write this as Iwas so speechless of what to say.
Art isnt dead, and this is a testament to art still being alive and thriving. This feels like a beautiful achievement i got to be a small part of by experiencing it
Masterpiece

28. Super Mario Galaxy - replay 🪐

A very competent remaster of a game I adore! I definitley realise now that this games gameplay is the weakest point when compared to the likes of Sunshine, 3D World and Odyssey. However I will forever love its presentation
It was a treat replaying my childhood

27. Metroid Fusion 🦠

I held off playing this game for a while and finally today got back to it and completed it! Very good game with some amazing art direction, however this game def struggles in a lot of places where it becomes way too linear to the point i barely feel im playing a metroidvania

25. Split Fiction 📘

Played this with my beloved @shioripresents.bsky.social and beat it 2 days ago! This was... needed to help with the fact I was leaving. This game is amazing, the ideas are so consistently fun and engaging and only ONE moment irked me.
Runs pretty well on switch 2 too!

2 so far has already been amazing with ONE exception, being the insta kill laser section

24. Mega Man 🤖

This sure is an NES game!
I abused the rewind I fully admit... but can you blame me with how this games aged? I've already started 2 and the fundamental level design of it is leagues better! Good time, but I played this so I could play 2 in good faith

23. Rift of the NecroDancer 🎸

An incredible rhythm game with amazing main gameplay alongside a strong rhythm heaven style mode and pretty good boss fights!
The presentation is immaculate and the songs are all absolutely incredible. BYG did wonderfully with this

22. Professor Layton and Pandora's Box 🎁

Finished this with @shioripresents.bsky.social @jewelmoon.bsky.social and what an incredible ride!!! It had higher highs than the first game but also not as consistent as the first game.
I teared up at the end for sure ❤️

20. Deltarune: Chapter 4 ⛪

This has been one of the best experiences ive had with any game ever. Anything I have to say is spoilers so I shall not say.
Deltarune is still waiting... and Im so excited.
This might be GOTY

19. Deltarune: Chapter 3 📺

This shattered my expectations so quickly in the best way. So much love and care was put into this and I'm obsessed with all of it!!!

Btw, ive beaten "you know what"

18. Mario Kart World 🏎️

What is there to even say? Ive waited for a new mario kart that gets the characters like this for TWO CONSOLES NOW!
The costumes are exactly what I hoped, I love the tricks system so much and this is so much fun with friends in free roam
I hope this gets supported long term!

17. Deltarune: Chapter 2 - replay 💻

Chapter 2 has SO MUCH MEAT ON ITS BONES.
Insanely funny, growing tobys mechanics further whilst paralleling them incredibly. Spamton is still such an incredible character that clearly represents something for Kris
Noelle's my fav
CHAPTER 3 AND 4 AWAIT!!!!!

16. Deltarune: Chapter 1 - replay 🃏

Chapter 1 feels like such a small distant thing now... I wonderful start to an incredible story. A lot of the mechanics and gameplay loop chapter 2 would come to introduce are lacking here, making this feel like a prologue if anything anymore
Not a bad thing tho!

15. Super Smash Bros for Wii U - replay 🏆

This game is so... weird for me. I kinda can't stand the controls now. I forgot how slow grabs+flurry rushes were. Final Smashes are so much worse in this one and classic mode sucks. But this game was there for a younger me when she needed it, trophies...

14. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS - replay 🥊

Been visiting some older systems as I feel the excitment for switch 2! Smash 3DS is, for the most part, easily the much better game of the two versions. Smash Run is fun, the stage selection is miles better, and I just enjoy the game more to Wii U!

13. Miitopia ⚔️

I finished my 3DS playthrough and had a blast!! This is a very fun light RPG that feels like a bitter sweet time capsule of my life around 2019-2020 :>

I'm intending to start my switch playthrough soon for a different playthrough! This games so fun

11. RWBY: Arrowfell 🌹

Woah my special interest got so big I played the wayforward canon game!
This games story is simple and cute, as is the whole game! The artwork and ost is lovely

However, they didn't tell wayforward Yangs attracted to Blake with a certain line and that's really funny

8. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 1 📽️

Oh my god this first half was insANELY good... part of me wants to redo it to get a stronger bond with Autumn and Kat as I accidentally got super close with Nora. This game is beautiful, its whole aesthetic and setting gels magnificently and I was enamored
