Games I Played in 2021 ranked

The Omoris, the Meat Boy Forevers, and the Florences in between. So I don't get too scorched, I'll only be adding games I played at least till the halfway point, or if it's a special case, like a multiplayer online game or Bubsy. Still a bad list for metroidvania fans, sorry.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
The fact that I got a PS5 just for this game should say it all. The fact that it’s worth says more than enough.
Bowser's Fury
Bowser's Fury
Bowser stubs his toe at 3AM and gets angry.
WarioWare: Twisted!
WarioWare: Twisted!
The hit-or-miss nature of the gyro controls really hindered it.
The World Ends with You: Final Remix
The World Ends with You: Final Remix
Neku’s character is one of the best I ever saw in fiction; if not that, then THE best.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Congratulations Nephews! Hope you had fun with your first Kirby game, even if I carried the ending finale. Hopefully, Kirby Star Allies is easier for the three of you.
Elite Beat Agents
Elite Beat Agents
The superior rhythm game; sorry FNF. Maybe when you’re fully out.
What Remains of Edith Finch
What Remains of Edith Finch
One of the best “walking simulator” games I ever saw that manages to do some cool and unique stuff with its gameplay and story-telling.
Chicory: A Colorful Tale
Chicory: A Colorful Tale
What a colorful world with a heartfelt story.
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Fusion
The only Metroid game I can see myself replaying with a smile on my face.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
The most lighthearted and comedic Shovel Knight adventure, with great gameplay and disappointing your mother.
Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope
Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope
Oh hey, speaking of which.
Omori
Omori
It feels like a dream for a game to be this good. Amazing side content, some of the best fighting in any rpg, a gripping overall mystery that I wanted to solve, writing that can be serious or humorous when the mood calls for it, great written characters, and it stars the MVP, Kel. Can’t recommend this highly enough.
Cuphead

Raise a toast and take a sip for one of the most challenging and fun boss rush styled games ever.
Punch-Out!!
Punch-Out!!
More like punching up to your enemies.
Katamari Damacy Reroll
Katamari Damacy Reroll
A nice shinier coat for a nice and shiny PS2 game that deserved a rerelease. Now we just need the rest of the series.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
The best of the series, and a great way to promote the series on the switch.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Now, this is a COOL 2D Platformer!

...Ok, too obvious.
Psychonauts 2
Psychonauts 2
Not as rich in gameplay as I like, but makes up for it more than enough with great writing.
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey
A game that I can 100% any time, any place. Some of the smoothest 3D movements I have ever saw, with a fun gimmick in the form of Cappy, and fan service in the form of all the costumes and Pauline returning. This is easily the best switch game, period.
Metroid Dread
Metroid Dread
Still not a Metroid fan, sorry.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
A definite improvement over the original. Tropical Freeze still did it better.
Celeste

Well, it's an ok game, but not really that memorable for me. Sadly must give it the cold shoulder.
Deltarune: Chapter 2
Deltarune: Chapter 2
Now is your chance to be a [BRAND NEW MEME!]
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
Definitely the most depressing of the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove stories, but still great fun.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The best Zelda game, and it's not even traditionally a Zelda game.
