Absolutely addicting gameplay loop, satisfying progression system, great story, great music, amazing attention to detail regarding the source material, a great but fair level of challenge... if you're a fan of brawlers and roguelikes, or you love Greek mythology, give this a try.

One of my favorite games of all time.

One of the best Pokémon games to come out in recent years. The gameplay loop is strangely addicting, and while it may not be much to look at graphically, it's chock-full of content and love from the developers. There are so many little touches and details to appreciate, and doing everything 100% is endless hours of content. It does get very tedious if you're going for a perfected Pokédex (every entry filled out 100%), but everything else is great.

One of my favorite RPGs of all time.

While a cornerstone of the earliest days of 3D games, the controls, camera, and physics make this a game that doesn't hold up very well at all in the modern era.

A 3D Mario classic. Controls wonderfully (albeit the camera freaks out sometimes and messes with that), and the music is some of the best in the series.

I love the charm this game has, and the setting is wonderful, but the controls make playing this game a struggle. Everything is an ice level with how much you slip and slide when you land, and some options like the long jump are completely missing. FLUDD is a fun mechanic, I just wish the game as a whole was more well designed.

A wonderful 2D Mario game, and one of the best to boot. Tight controls, great music, wonderfully designed and colorful world, this is a must-play for any platforming fan.

A wonderful and absolutely addicting little game that just radiates happiness.

It's the original Super Mario Bros. Not the best in the series, but worth a play if you're a platforming fan.

Great game for first-time fighting game players, just not for me. At least until they change a few things.

One of my favorite 3D Mario games for sure, and the Bowser's Fury mode only adds to what's already an amazing game.

One of the best shooters I've ever played. Infinitely replayable, some of the most fun I've had with friends, and really, really funny.

Solid 2D Mario game, and one of my personal favorites. It makes improvements to the formula of Mario 1 and 2, and then some. The controls are tight, the platforming is on point, the powerups are varied and fun, and every world feels unique (especially the giant world). This is a must-play for any fan of 2D platformers.

One of the best mainline Pokemon games.
