This was after 754 total games, and 228 Standard games. I played Bo1 exclusively until a bit into Diamond, where I swapped to Bo3 exclusively. My Bo3 record from there was 14-4, for a 77% win rate.

Outer Wilds - I played this to try to scratch the Blue Prince itch, but it really didn't come close. There was a bit too little direction for the first 10 hours of the game or so, and each "discovery branch" was a bit too shallow. The final sequence was fantastic, though.

Blue Prince - Incredible game. My soul was absorbed into it. The distinction between lore and puzzle blurs into nothingness. The layering of the mysteries, clues, and puzzles, and the extremity of the things you need to do to solve them--sublime, utterly sublime.
Here's some stats!

Yuru Camp Movie - It's Yuru Camp. But a movie. Comfy. Yay.
Seriously, this franchise knows exactly what it wants to do and does not deviate from it in the slightest lol.

Medalist - The best sports manga I've ever read, and this was a pretty decent adaptation. The mechanics of the art felt kind of subpar, especially compared to the manga, except for the brilliant skating sequences. Tsukasa's is still my favorite. 見なよ…オレの司を…

Ave Mujica - The Die is Cast - Musically I definitely prefer Ave Mujica over MyGO, so I'm glad this was a worthy followup. The character troubles are definitely a little harder to take seriously, though, and there were a few abandoned threads. Not even in a "this is intentionally unresolved" way.
