Hades II
The pinnacle of the genre, so fun from start to finish. It never gets frustrating, it always pushes you forward. The art style and designs have no competition in their details.

The Roottrees Are Dead
A perfect puzzle experience for me. Part 1 is pristinely balanced from start to finish. The flow of information and clues is weighted to keep you moving forward in the investigation. There probably won't be a better gaming feeling this year then when you lock in correct characters in the

Hollow Knight: Silksong
An incredible action and platforming game with just the right amount of difficulty and frustration to properly reward the player for pushing through. Cogwork Dancers is potentially the greatest metroidvania boss of all time.
My only gripe is I wish the rosary economy was handled a little better - there are

Donkey Kong Bananza
Wastes no time getting into the fun and mayhem. The design is perfect, leading to endless fun and exploration. The characters and world are alive and fully formed. Finished at 541 bananas and I think that was enough for me. The bosses for the majority of the game are a

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
A remarkable achievement that came out of nowhere. By far the best turn based combat I have ever played. The characters are fully fleshed out and given room to develop and interact. The world and story are gorgeous and well thought out.
I only have a few minor complaints; the

Blue Prince
A unique and awesomely distributed puzzle roguelike. I played this for over 60 hours and I would say the middle 40 were some of the best and most engaging puzzle gameplay I have ever been a part of. The game is not easy on the player or the player's mentality.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
An exemplary and action packed adventure that is more than worthy of its title character's legend. The music, audio design, and voicework is incredible. I really think the entire Vatican sequence stands out as one of the best levels in gaming,
My only critique would be the gameplay systems don't build

The Rise of the Golden Idol
Fun, inventive, and mind twisting in all the right ways. Great mystery and world building, very excited for future DLCs.

Escape Simulator 2
Well made, engaging puzzles. The settings are pretty standard fare and the controls on the steam deck were definitely wonky. But I could play these kind of games forever. Looking forward to trying some of the community levels.

BALL x PIT
Got addicted to this for a few days. It definitely doesn't have the legs to support past the credit. But I loved this for what it was.

Ghost of Yotei
The new definitive standard for open world graphics, beatiful design and animation around every corner and beyond every vista. The gameplay is fun and pretty much a 1:1 copy of the previous entry. I found the story to be a big downgrade from Tsushima but not enough to ruin it,

Revenge of the Savage Planet
Enjoyed this quite a bit, the exploration is fun, the base sim is an easy thing to wrap your head around and not a major part of the game.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Love the old school quest design and world. The natural progression of quests and exploration through rumors and hearsay about town is second to none.
I can admit my score ,ay be based more on nostalgia than anything else. Compared to modern games the combat and RPG progression might as

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo
A fun and challenge filled adventure. The mechanics work well together and there are some real tough platforming challenges. I was a couple more fails away from giving up on the last boss due to how much of a marathon it is.

Bionic Bay
A fun and quick physics platformer that isn't too challenging but is paced well and has a lot of inventive puzzles to work through. I don't think anything about the setting or narrative will stay with me.

Split Fiction
Proved a little too difficult/frustrating for my wife, I really enjoyed what I got to play and hope I can come back to it soon.

Mario Kart World
Incredibly fun, the 24 person races are chaotic to the max. Its much more fun than competitively balanced for sure. It looks and runs pristinely for the amount of action and effects on the screen. I only have a few issues on some of the designs; the free roam didn't

Drop Duchy
Enjoyed this quite a bit even though I don't really think it is deep enough to try and push through the harder levels. It can be hard to put down when it starts really hitting and you get a great build going. The design is really cool and inventive.

The Case of the Golden Idol
I think its a little more scattered than the sequel but i still greatly enjoyed the story and setting.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Still love this game and format, although a little less this time around.
Moving from station to station was fun although a lot of them are pretty shallow. The contracts are stressful and punishing if you make mistakes or roll bad. The writing is still all time engaging and the character
