Emio - The Smiling Man: I really liked the story in this game, I wish Nintendo would do more adult themes tbh. You can’t really fail this game, you just progress through it, which can feel quite slow and frustrating at times. Overall I would recommend it and might pick up the rest of the series.

Dragon Quest I HD-2D - This felt very different to other DQ games as you play solo rather than in a party. It’s quite basic but you can see much in there that becomes such a bigger part of the series going forward. I really liked that this was completed in around 10 hours, more RPG’s of this length!

Games of 2026:
Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition (NSW2) - I’m not a massive horror game fan, but this intrigued me. Some great environments and puzzles and a real sense of dread throughout.

Eastenders Producer: We need a heartthrob, someone who is absolutely irresistible to women

Reading took a major back seat for me this year. I’ve been reading again the last few days and think I’ll read a lot more in 2026.

Kena Bridge of Spirits - This one has been on my to play list for a while and I enjoyed it a lot. It got a bit frustrating forwards the end but was a great game to just switch off and play.

To a T - I purchased and played this as I felt terrible about the impact its lack of sales had on the developer. It was one I wanted to play but never got around to it. Overall it’s a bit meh tbh, it started interesting but felt as the game went on the original concept of the game was lost.

Yakuza 0 Directors Cut - I haven’t played this since its original release. It’s still a fantastic game and a great on boarding for new players of the series. I personally prefer the newer RPG style games over the brawler style as it became overdone with the number of entries.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - While not up there with the best Metroid games this is still absolutely fantastic, it’s so good to have Samus back in 3D! I didn’t mind the companions but can see why some later missions caused some upset. Will absolutely be playing this again and again over the years

Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo - randomly picked this up for around £3.50 in a sale and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought i ever would. The game has little to do with the film but is a solid adventure game.

The Outer Worlds 2 - I really enjoyed this. It’s better than the original game in nearly every single way… But I ordered the companions of the original a lot more. Obsidian strike again with another brilliant RPG!

Dragon Quest III 2D-HD - Really glad I played through this, it’s really clear why it is held in such high regard and as a bit of game changer for JRPG’s. The class based system and open world were a delight to play. Looking forward to playing I & II now.

I really enjoyed this, however the Dispatching side of the game is the bit that got repetitive for me. I really liked the characters and story and its presented beautifully.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment - This is by far my favourite of the Warriors games. It came at exactly the right time for me, when I needed to just mindlessly slaughter hundreds without having to think. Enjoyed it a lot, still so much side content that I don’t know if I’ll ever complete.

The first game is this collection is great, a solid 8 out of 10. The second game is horrendous and I should have stopped playing after a couple of hours, instead of forcing my way through. Awful QTE’s and motion controls make a boring story worse.

The Switch 2 is shit, there’s nothing to play on it.

I played the first episode of Dispatch this morning and thought it was fantastic. Instantly brilliant characters, it’s funny and it looks stunning.

Trails in the Sky 1C - My first game in this series and really enjoyed it. It’s a slow burn building the world and characters throughout. A really good ending and looking forward to what comes next.
