4) RE4 Remake: A top notch game, so good that there's 2 separate, equally great versions. I do have some minor things like some enemy attacks feel like they deal a little too much damage, I'm also not fond of durability on the knife/body armour as well as having to craft ammo.

The overall combat is so fun though and I always loved an RE having a merchant where you can upgrade gear and everything.

3) AC New Horizons: Still at the start of my Switch 2 run but this ones gonna take a while to beat and I already know my feelings on the game, it's fun and I enjoy the deserted island but I prefer the older games where you move into a pre-existing town, so I hope the next game moves back to that.

It's addictive but I'm not good enough at the glitches to play any truly interesting settings beyond the basics, still quite fun though.

2) OOT Rando: Cheating a little with this one as I've not technically beaten a seed yet, but I've been playing OOTR on and off for the past few weeks, I'll likely come back throughout the year as it's a nice thing to play while listening to a podcast.

1) Pokemon Legends: ZA, A pretty good game, I like the real time combat but I prefer the combat and setting of Legends Arceus. I will also say that the game does get a little repetitive at points too but it's still quite enjoyable

I'm going to plug my letterboxd too:

I managed to watch 61 films last year which is pretty good for me as I'm not a huge film person, my aim this year is to double that number.

37) Thank Goodness You're Here! Utterly bizarre, could not explain half of the jokes as they are both weird and plentiful, I have no doubt I probably missed about 100 background jokes alone.

36) Is This Seat Taken? A pretty cute little puzzle game some of the conditions you have to meet are a little annoying but then it wouldn't be much of a puzzle game otherwise. Nice and short too but I can still go back to levels and try to do better.

35) Kiwami 2, a far better game than the previous Kiwami, the combat is mostly improved in terms of how smooth it is aside from some enemies still being annoying to fight. It also has one of my favourite villains in the series. 9/10

34) Yakuza Kiwami, frankly a pretty average game with annoying boss fights and one of the combat styles is levelled up through a different methods and a lot of the skills are locked behind being S++ on this other system, including a fairly useful Kiwami move which stops certain bosses

from regenerating their health which is always an annoying mechanic oh and people constantly blocking or dodging to a point 5 miles away. It does make me want to play the original at some point though.
