Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. I have spent one hundred hours exploring the world and completing quests, and will still look back fondly on my time with this game. The story and cast of characters make this game shine, and I implore any Xenoblade fan who hasn't tried this yet to give it a shot.

Ghost Trick was such a surprise, even when I heard how incredible the game is from friends. Its story is such a stand out that I would never want to put the game down, I needed to see what came next.

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist was a surprise. I've heard lots about it on social media, but when I went to play I found myself entranced by the incredible characters and branching story. The deck building is a part of the game I wouldn't want to see go, but the story is where this game is perfected.

Pony Island is Daniel Mullins' best game. Inscryption is incredibly solid all around, but there's something special about Pony Island to me. If you've enjoyed any of his other games, please check this one out.

I find myself coming back to The Coin Game every now and then to relax and unwind, scoring some fictional tickets. The games are actually fair, so it's a lot of fun to try and get good at them, or at least go for high scores. An enjoyable romp, and leaves me waiting for every update.

Compared to Mario Maker 2, this game may have less options--but its charm and style is unmatched by the sequel. The goofy hands, lanky Mario, CRT filter, and the long fall sound effects make this game a clear standout.

A Hat in Time is a game that I always love playing. It's a fun game with great movement. My one annoyance is how hard the Death Wish DLC gets, so this will likely never be 100%ed. However, the strengths greatly outweigh that, as the Death Wishes are purely optional.

My second favorite Zelda game. The exploration is very fun, the dungeons are creative, and the mechanics left an imprint on my brain. The HD version is simply the original but with more QOL features.

My first Kirby game, and what a Kirby game to play. It is the quintessential Kirby game to me, as it does basically everything you would want and does it all very well.

A very fun demonstration of the WiiU's gamepad features. I find myself coming back to Nintendo Land again and again.

Great for vacations when you want to play some board games with your family, but don't have the physical games. Best played with other people, the AI is just alright.

Miitopia is a game I didn't expect to fall in love with. It's a very simple RPG, with pretty basic mechanics, but the energy its presented with kept me playing for hours and hours. Making characters is easy, and downloading them is even easier. This game is a blast for casual RPG gameplay fans.

My first Final Fantasy game, and playing this with a friend who loves the original while knowing nothing yourself is a very fun experience. This game was definitely elevated by the people I played it with, but it is still a very fun time.

It's Super Mario 3D World, with a new side story, Bowser's Fury. The base game is mostly unchanged, aside from the strange speed increase that breaks some levels. All of my praise for the original still holds, however.

Celeste's story didn't really do much for me but the gameplay mechanics keep it as my favorite platformer I've played.
