Sonic Frontiers is okay. It's fun, and it has some great ideas behind it but it isn't perfect in any way. I'd love a game with better controls (it can be fiddly at times) and more complex levels - the open zones are too basic and the Cyberspace stages are all reused from past titles without much variety or imagination. But as far as Sonic games go this one's pretty decent; there have been worse outings than this, although you might want to wait for an eventual sale.

Sonic Forces sucks so much it killed me. I am dead, but my soul still screams in anguish and horror.
Please take me off life support and let me die peacefully.

Wish I played this game sooner! Wonderful little game with a solid story told through the gameplay loop itself, with visually distinct presentation and a fantastic soundtrack that syncs up with the action, almost like a playable music album - it promises little and delivers more than you'd initially expect, I still keep having new realizations about the nature of the story and the implications of certain things to this day!

Not the "best" STG, but it's an STG full of heart.

MHW is a solid first entry in the Monster Hunter series for newcomers, but as a veteran I found myself not going back to it as much as the other games.
It cuts out a load of tedious busywork, but has a very low difficulty floor, the "beginner's tools" used to ease the load off later becoming essentially mandatory for the hardest hunts in the game - something that I personally dislike, but I can see others enjoying. The story unfortunately isn't very good, with unskippable cutscenes that bog down the first time experience - but it's Monster Hunter so the majority of your playtime will be post-story.

This game instantly validated my purchase of the Nintendo Switch upon announcement.

There is so much more to this game than 2B's butt. If you're on the fence about playing it just play it.

Definitely not my favorite Zelda, but it was a pleasant surprise seeing a Nintendo franchise break away from its established formula.

I'm gonna be real I liked this game more than Elden Ring.

This is easily one of the best Kirby games to date. The shift to 3D is something the series didn't know it needed, and I'm glad they took the time to get it right.

Gunvolt Chronicles : Battle Priestess Kirin

Great game with extremely satisfying to learn mechanics that take skill and good stage routing to use to their fullest potential, but the plot has literally nothing to do with the rest of the series, and the titular character is locked to a super mode/mascot role.

Although the challenge mode where you play as GV only is actually extremely well designed and probably the most fun thing in the entire game, so maybe it was worth it?

Definitely my favorite modern Pokemon title, though I guess that's not saying much.

The battle and catching systems from this game should be in all future Pokemon games even if it doesn't make sense.

If you're wondering if you should play Ghost Trick, you should probably play Ghost Trick.
This is by far one of the most stylish and expressive DS titles, with fantastic characters, stunningly clever puzzles, beautiful art and animation, and a rock solid mystery story that ties it all together. Criminally unknown.

This game makes me upset because it is entirely my fault when it beats my ass

This is the apex of high speed 3D platforming featuring blue hedgehogs. I'm tired of acting like it's not
