A must play for puzzle fans, Lingo is a creative game, the kind that I was missing since The Witness. But where I have my gripes with The Witness, this game excels. It has the non euclidean world of Antichamber with the creative and challenging puzzles of The Witness. This game has me repeating words out loud until I finally have the brilliant ah-ha! moment where I finally figure it out.

While The LEGO Movie Video Game is my favorite due to my personal history with the game, LEGO City Undercover is my favorite overall game in the wide LEGO series. It has a huge open world with tons of collectables--but once you get into it, going for 100% is less daunting than it appears. A great time for any LEGO fan.

Peggle is a very fun little puzzle game about hitting all of the orange pegs before you run out of balls. Mostly fun as a short little distraction, this game exceeds with its level design and challenges.

Deltarune: Chapter 2 easily clears Chapter 1, simply because of the exceptional storytelling and hilarious characters. If you were skeptical of Deltarune after Chapter 1, please give this a try.

This game has ignited my love for plastic guitar rhythm games, and I am forever saddened in the closing of ScoreSpy--the version of this game with leaderboards. However, this is very much like Guitar Hero 3 in terms of mechanics, and is a must play for rhythm game fans.

BTD6 is a great time for Tower Defense fans. It has deep mechanics and a ton of towers and upgrades. I don't play it much anymore but I still love watching YouTubers play challenges and watching fun mods.

Amazing story with amazing characters. Easily my favorite Ace Attorney game, and a huge recommendation to anyone who likes these kind of games.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom is a true collectathon must play--for fans of the genre or fans of the funny yellow sponge. The gameplay is solid, level design is mostly tight (except some places like Kelp Forest), and the movement is very fun.

Before Your Eyes is an experience I think everyone should have at some point. It is an emotional journey, dealing with grief and regret--and the ever present "what if" that so many people face when reminiscing on the past.

You don't need me to tell you that this game is amazing just play it you'll find out soon enough

This game did nothing for me. The visual style is such a turn off that I barely even played 20 minutes total. I really wanted to like this, as I really like other Vampire Survivor type games, but this was not for me.

Super Mario 3D World is a blast to play with friends. It's a chaotic mess where you throw each other off the edges and everyone is having a great time. Best played with others, but the singleplayer is still a very solid experience.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an amazing game for the exploration it provides. While Tears of the Kingdom does what this game does but better, the fact that this game and world was new makes it so much more special.

Oh boy, Arknights. The game where I think I drive my friends mad by talking about its music too much. Before I get into gameplay, the soundtrack--both in and out of game--is one of the best I've heard in a videogame. With a huge range of styles, Arknights has literally hundreds of amazing songs I listen to frequently.
It is a very fun tower defense, with pretty generous f2p mechanics for a gacha game. It is a gacha game, however, so I can't fully recommend it, but if you are okay with those kind of games check this one out.

I love Just Cause 3. Its a great game to return to after playing it years ago, and it offers so much in the way of destruction--both visually and mechanically. You can roll up to a town in a tank, shooting down chaos objects, or you can take a plane and crash it into a water tower.
