Looks great, plays great, sounds great. Between the ongoing quest to beat higher heats and constant drip feed of story moments, I got hooked on this game. I got the same feeling from this that Slay the Spire gave me, this desire to keep going that overrode any notion of fatigue.

I played both Ori games this year and the jump from one to the next felt so good. This is a clear cut evolution from Ori and the Blind Forest, in terms of mechanics, platforming, and level design. I loved this game and can't wait to see what's next.

I enjoyed a lot about this game. It had a good story that really picked up in the last act, paired with a compelling gameplay loop in a gorgeous open world. I'm not a photo mode guy but I took a lot of pictures and video for this one. I have only platinumed a handful of games in my life, but none as long as this one. However, I was still ready for more even after wrapping the trophy up. Excited to see if Sucker Punch does another one of these or jumps into something else from here,

Great first PS5 game that cut a lot of the fat from 2018's Spider-Man. I didn't care for a lot of the story, although it really ramped up going into the end as most Marvel/MCU things tend to do. It looks amazing and I really appreciated how much everything has been streamlined, from abilities to open world tasks. Yet another thing where I can't wait to see what's next.

The Breath of the Wild knockoff I thought we'd see in spades after the success of that game. It looks great and so far has done a good job of providing a big ol world full of stuff to discover.

I spent a good month obsessed with this game during beta. While it didn't last much beyond that, I can't deny how much fun I had in that time. Riot put together a clean package here and while I can't speak to its current state, it had all the makings of a decently balanced TCG with a healthy economy.

A welcome update of one of my favorite games of all time. I am not into JRPG's or anime, but I have a soft spot for Persona 5 because of the way it sucked me in. I only played 20 hours of Royal, which mostly covered the same ground as the original Persona 5 with some nice quality of life enhancements. Regardless, that snippet of the game is enough to place on the list.

Incredible showcase of the PS5 hardware. Looks, sounds, and plays phenomenally well. I have a feeling it will be higher if I get deeper into it, but as of right now I have only killed a few bosses. Having not gotten very far in the original, it's been refreshing to be truly nervous and cautious in a Souls game again.

I am only about five hours in. This game is clearly a technical masterpiece, from the production to the myriad of accessibility settings. I spoiled myself on the broad story strokes before the game even came out, and unfortunately that might be a major reason I haven't put more effort into playing. I like the direction the story went but unfortunately can't comment on the delivery. I might be more drawn to this in a different time, I'm just not in the mood for such dark material and specifically gruesome violence.
