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.

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.

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.

The Origami King is not the return to form many Paper Mario fans desired. But what we got instead was a joyous world to explore with a hilarious cast of characters and an enjoyable story. The battle mechanics are not your traditional TTYD or PM64 badge and partner system, but the literal turn-based combat stays decently challenging the whole way through.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the quintessential Paper Mario. This game mastered the combat, and is incredibly fun to explore. However, it is held back by it's dated linear level design--where most areas feel like hallways. But, on a first playthrough or even your second, it stands out as having one of the most unique battle systems I've seen in an RPG.
