Game 35 - Luigi’s Mansion
Having never actually finished a run of this game before, I thought it would be a fun game on and around Halloween. It feels a little dated , but this game makes up for it in charm. I miss this era of Mario, where every side character had a distinct personality and story!

Game 34 - Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Pokemon feels like it has evolved at a glacier pace for years now. This game finally feels like a big step forward, thanks to a fresh battle system, solid pacing, and a lot of fun side-content. Easily one of my favorites in the 30 years I’ve been playing these games.

Game 33 - Keeper
I wasn’t sure what I was getting with Keeper, but I knew I wanted to see whatever Double Fine was cooking up. And it was great! It’s a beautiful journey filled with fun puzzles and creative imagery, and I think it’ll be great for fans of games like Limbo and the like.

Game 32 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind
Fortnite lit some MMPR nostalgia for me, and I decided to finally check this out. The source material is a GREAT fit for this kind of brawler, and I love the ways they incorporate the bikes and zords to give you breaks in the core gameplay.

Game 31 - Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island Expansion
I loved the base game, but never started the expansion when it came to PS5. This turned out to be a great standalone experience, and a perfect appetizer for Yōtei next week!

Game 30 - Hollow Knight
This has been a long time coming. I bought and started it years ago, but never got back to it until recently. Truly one of the best Metroidvanias out there and I’m glad I finally gave it the time it deserves!

Game 29 - Pokemon Violet
What a perfect storm this was. Coming off a decent experience with Arceus and hyped for Z-A, I found this game for $10 shortly after it received a Switch 2 update. And what a game! Bummed I let a string of misses keep me from this for so long. Best Pokemon in a long time!

Game 28 - Star-Crossed World (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
This DLC was a fun reminder of how good Forgotten Land was. Doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but gives you enough to go back to and stay engaged. Similar to the base game, the ending is quite difficult, so be prepared!

Game 27 - Is This Seat Taken?
This caught my eye during the last Indie World, and it was well worth the $10 price tag. It made for a great game to play for little bits at a time to wind down before bed. The puzzles are satisfying but rarely frustrating. Would love to see more of this!

Game 26 - Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
This game is a brilliant love letter to retro side scrollers. The pixel art is gorgeous, the gameplay is engaging, and the game is TOUGH. A few things keep it from being one of my top games this year, but nothing that should stop you from playing it!
