Hell is Us - Rogue Factor
I fucked HEAVY with this game, but I won't lie, I was ready to be done like 5 hours before it ended so I used a guide for the last handful of side missions and whatnot. This game has insane vibes all throughout, can't wait to see what this team does next! 🧢

Shadow Labyrinth - Bandai Namco
Definitely a little long for a Metroidvania, and I lost interest in the plot at some point, but I liked the ending. The MAZEs were so much fun and there were some tricky combat moments that helped keep me engaged the whole game.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands - Gearbox
Started this at launch with some friends, but we dropped it cause they didnt like it. Decided to go back to it before B4 dropped. I love Will Arnett in this game. Tons of cool spells too. Finished it with some friends I'd never gamed with, so that was sick. 🦄🔫🎲

Gears of War Reloaded - The Coalition, Sumo Digital and Disbelief
I didn't care about a single thing here, the characters, the story, the combat, the online, none of it. I beat it in one sitting and don't plan to ever play it again. I spent the whole time wishing I was playing Uncharted 1 tbh. ⚙️

Donkey Kong Bananza - Nintendo EPD
I went into this expecting to find my game of the year, and I gotta be honest, it didn't even come close. I enjoyed it, but this is the first Nintendo game in a long time where I didn't do the post game and that's because the game felt stale for me by the end 🍌

Death Stranding 2 - Kojima Productions

Lollipop Chainsaw Repop - DRAGAMI GAMES
After finishing LoU2, I only had a couple of days before Death Stranding 2, so I decided to knock out a quick one. I love Suda 51, and I knew he worked on it originally, but I let it slip by back in the day. It's fun and it knows what it is lol 🍬🧟♂️📣

The Last of Us Part 2 - Naughty Dog
This, Pikmin 3, and Yakuza 6 were the three games I wanted to play this year no matter what. I beat this one when it came out, but I was so emotionally drained that I didn't return for the platinum - until now! I LOVE this game 🏹🏌♀️

Mario Kart World - Nitendo EPD
No joke, I had zero interest in this game, but my gamestop only had bundles left when I pre-ordered my Switch 2, so here we are lol.
The Fiancée and I played through it together, bought the little wheel controller grips and everything haha. Solid fun for a bit 🏁

This was my second run of the game, I platinumed it back at launch and was really only doing it again for the story recap. I understood everything a lot better this time. Kojima is just so fuckin cool.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Sandfall Interactive
My current game of the year. I was a day 1 believer in this game, I had my eyes on it from that first trailer and never let it slip my mind. I platinumed it and immediately did a second run of the game.

Gris - Nomada Studio
What an absolutely beautiful journey, such a visual delight. Grief and pain turned into pure art.
It doesn't take a lot to make me cry, so you best believe I was in tears at the secret ending scene.

Pikmin 3 - Nintendo EAD
I played Pikmin 1 for the first time a couple years back and absolutely fell in love with it, only to immediately play 2 and end up not liking it to the point that I held off on playing 3 for years. Happy to say I loved this one as well! I just love these little guys 🚀

Split Fiction - Hazelight Studios
I played this with my Fiancée, Alyssa, and we had a blast with it! (Who could've guessed) Some really cool gameplay stuff happens at the end that I hope they lean heavy into with their next title! The Sun Exploding section was my favorite part.

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Sacred Cards - Konami/Digital Eclipse
The last of the retro YGO games I decided to play this year. I didn't remember that this was also pre-actual YGO rules, but this one still ended up being the most fun of the three. Beat it in one sitting lol

Yu-Gi-Oh: Dark Duel Stories - Konami/Digital Eclipse
Another game from the YGO collection, this was my first YGO game when I was younger. Does not hold up at all lol. It was nice to return to the roots, but I can't imagine I'll ever do it again.

Monster Hunter Wilds - Capcom
World is a top 3 game to me, the hours I sunk into it with my buddies was insane, so I couldn't have been more stoked for this to drop. I can't wait to see what this game is when it's in its final state. 👑

Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition Stairway to the Destined Duel, via the Early Days Collection - Konami/Digital Eclipse
I had tons of the Yugioh games for GBC/GBA when I was younger, so I was pretty excited for this collection. I turned on the option to unlock all cards and proceeded to BEUD everyone🃏

This was actually my second run of the game, I finished it in 2024 at launch, but I returned for some Trophy Clean up in 2025 🧚♀️

Fun little change of pace from the other mainline Zelda games on the Switch. It was cute and fun! 🪄

Dragonball Sparking Zero - Spike Chunsoft
I originally put off playing it because Metaphor dropped at the same time, glad I finally got around to it. I was huge into the Budokai games when I was younger, so this definitely scratched an itch for me. 🐉🐢

I ended 2024 by playing through the Sonic portion and started 2025 off by playing through the Shadow portion. The third movie hype really got me
I still think about this game all the time. So much fun
