psychonauts for weebs but with more interesting characters

the dynamic music and look of this game are both amazing, and i honestly recommend playing it even if you don't usually play games like this, just for the scenery and ost alone. the only real issues i have with this game are with the gameplay and how ridiculous some of the rooms in the late game can get.

game is phenomenal they took everything from the original risk of rain and made it like 100x better

this game is very close to beating bloodborne for me in terms of general aesthetic and worldbuilding, but the metroidvania open world mix they had going here was very confusing sometimes

incredible music, weapons, armor, bosses, and all-in-all a must-play for people who have fully experienced vanilla

amazing survival horror game and the start of an incredible franchise, highly recommend if you want to get into the survival horror scene

incredible video game minus some of the rng puzzles and locations. still the only video game to move me to tears with the ending, though!

unpopular opinion, maybe, but better than silent hill 2! i really, really enjoyed the sound, monster, and environment design in this game. also the best in terms of immersion, in my opinion, and the story's great, too! if you want to start at a silent hill game that has omnidirectional stick controls, i'd recommend this one, but if you're willing to do tank controls, start from 1; gives you a lot more context for this game.

very cool roguelike with an interesting artstyle and gameplay loop; love the sheer amount of things you can unlock in this game by doing (or not doing!) the most menial of tasks.

fun game, awesome story, and the new weapons are great! really, the only complaints i have about this game are the competitive scene and the sheer amount of connection issues seen.

very cool dlc to splatoon 3! making a splatoon roguelike was absolutely a step in the right direction, as the gameplay loop of this one is satisfying and features many interesting color chips and palettes to choose from. the only thing i didn't enjoy about this dlc was the lack of variety in objective types; even if they had added maybe 1 or 2 more types of objectives per floor, it would've made for a much more interesting system, imho.

banger roguelike with tons of different items, characters, challenges, and upgrades to choose from that also has regular updates

pretty awesome remaster of a game that came out at least a decade ago now; if you've never played a kirby game, and want to play one, i'd recommend this one or super star ultra

pretty alright pokemon game, nowhere near the earlier generations in terms of being good, and the game itself is not very well optimized for the switch, meaning frame drops and visual bugs are pretty frequent, but at least the story was pretty cool

satisfying "speedrunner shooter" (term used by the actual game devs) with great character design, visual aesthetic, and a banging soundtrack by machine girl
