I talk a little more about politics sometimes here compared to Twitter, so follow me there as well.
6 physical Switch 2 games in year 1 for me.

I don’t know how many I bought on year 1 of Switch 1, but I remember buying quite a few of the games digitally on launch.

With the exception of Mario Kart World. I’m gonna make it a point to buy physical for Switch 2 (non-key-cards)

There it is. Yooka-Replaylee physically on Switch 2!

Thank you Playtonic & PM for putting the game on the whole cartridge.

Makes a nice addition to the Switch 2 roster.

50. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake

Wanted to play Titans of the Tide this year so I played this in preparation.

Solid enough game. The level design is really good, but it isn’t quite as amazing. A more polished game than Battle for Bikini Bottom, but not by much.

NEW VIDEO: Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted was good at at least one thing... making me appreciate the original game more than I could imagine. In this video, I break down how Replanted failed before the patches, while also discussing why the original Plants Vs. Zombies works.

Next video’s about the er... remaster that is Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted. Coming… tomorrow!

49. Peak

This is the scariest non-horror game I’ve ever played.

Go buy Yooka-Replaylee on Nintendo Switch 2 physically. It's out physically on current-gen consoles today.

This isn't a sponsored post, I just wanna see this do well since they invested into putting the game on the full cartridge.

Plus, y'know, the game is amazing.

Finally got a PS5 replacement! Never leaving it plugged in during a storm again.

48. Metroid II - Return of Samus

I also never finished this one.

To my surprise, it’s better than the first game by quite a decent margin. I’d still rather play most Metroid games over it, but it might be in like… the top 20 Game Boy games.

But I also don’t play that many.

47. Metroid

Never bothered finishing this until now.

Ambitious ideas, frustrating execution. If oooonly we’d get sequels on the Game Boy and SNES that further develop this concept!

Alright, my Metroid tier list is subjectively subjective.

This is in order, left at the top, right at the bottom.

Please politely tell me why I should be shot for putting Super Metroid in A tier.

46. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

It is, in fact, a 4th Metroid Prime game.

Opinion may change, but I personally like this more than 3, but it’s not amazing. There are problems holding this back from being an A or S tier Metroid game.

It’s definitely more like 3 than 1 & 2 though.

Samus is so cool that she doesn’t even need to look behind her when in reverse.

45. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (Movie)

Man, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this was somehow so much worse than the first movie.

The novelty of seeing FNAF on the big screen wore off immediately after the first scene.

Just… super underwhelming.

44. Hades II

My lawyer says I have to finish 10 runs of this game to say I’ve “beaten” it… I say I already put too many hours just to finish 1, lemme talk.

Amazing game. Every boss rocks, the gameplay is feverishly contagious, and it looks incredible. Another Supergiant W.

43. Smiling Friends (Season 3)

Pretty funny season.

Don’t know if I’d say it reaches the highs of Season 2 (or of course Season 1), but it also does not reach the lows of Season 2. It’s a pretty consistent season of funny episodes and that’s all I can really ask for.
December 1, 2025 at 6:07 PM
I played Metroid Prime 4 before release!

T’was just the intro so all I can say is it’s gonna be a Metroid Prime game alright.

This achievement in Kirby Air Riders can burn in the pit of Hades.

One of these islands has an INSANELY rare chance of spawning… I got it once but I didn’t get enough stats in time to fly up to it.

Hate it. Worst achievement in the game.

42. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Definitely my least favorite of the trilogy, but it’s still a solid game.

Some moments of this were downright awesome, like SkyTown and a few bosses. But overall… I kinda prefer the structure of 1 and 2 way more.
November 27, 2025 at 12:51 AM
41. Sonic Rumble

Not for me at all. The idea of “Sonic Fall Guys” sounds interesting. But I feel like this is just a plain ass party survival game.

It’s just not what I wanted. I was hoping for a more Sonic-feeling game, but this ain’t it.

Would rather just play Fall Guys.
November 26, 2025 at 3:48 AM
40. Kirby Air Riders

A combination of two things that never miss:
Kirby games, and Masahiro Sakurai.

This is some of the most fun I’ve had all year. I don’t care if this game is flawed, this game is unreal and the fact that it exists is proof that life is worth living.
