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.

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 stubs his toe at 3AM and gets angry.
The hit-or-miss nature of the gyro controls really hindered it.
Neku’s character is one of the best I ever saw in fiction; if not that, then THE best.
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.
The superior rhythm game; sorry FNF. Maybe when you’re fully out.
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.
What a colorful world with a heartfelt story.
The only Metroid game I can see myself replaying with a smile on my face.
The most lighthearted and comedic Shovel Knight adventure, with great gameplay and disappointing your mother.
Oh hey, speaking of which.
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.
Raise a toast and take a sip for one of the most challenging and fun boss rush styled games ever.
More like punching up to your enemies.
A nice shinier coat for a nice and shiny PS2 game that deserved a rerelease. Now we just need the rest of the series.
The best of the series, and a great way to promote the series on the switch.
Now, this is a COOL 2D Platformer!
...Ok, too obvious.
...Ok, too obvious.
Not as rich in gameplay as I like, but makes up for it more than enough with great writing.
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.
Still not a Metroid fan, sorry.
A definite improvement over the original. Tropical Freeze still did it better.
Well, it's an ok game, but not really that memorable for me. Sadly must give it the cold shoulder.
Now is your chance to be a [BRAND NEW MEME!]
Definitely the most depressing of the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove stories, but still great fun.
The best Zelda game, and it's not even traditionally a Zelda game.
