UPDATE: Thought I would add some more as my opinion has evolved. Overall, I feel more critical on my experience after just completing another musou game P5S. I think the fact of how limited the "fun" characters in the roster are is much more disappointing then I remember. And while I definitely like certain aspects about the gameplay even more than P5S, the story is also something I'm having a little more trouble excusing. Still a very fun time I don't regret experiencing and filled my itch for more of the universe but I'm also a bit disappointed on what it could be.

I think having an understanding perspective before you begin playing this game is the best way to garner its full enjoyment. It's narrative is decent at best, missions and maps can be repetitive, and much of the late-game characters are frankly not that fun to use - but the core gameplay loop with my favorite characters never bore me, and I found the story to be a nice pairing with the main course. Can't see myself ever really returning after getting a few dozen hours of it, but a worthwhile experience at best.

Binding of Isaac for me is my perfect "pick up and play" game. I already sunk dozens of hours on the WIIU version, but already have close to 100 on Switch, with all of the non-greed mode endings complete. It's simple in look and borderline repulsive at times, yet those seemingly bizarre factors create such a wildly different and unforgettable experience every new run.

Also, having now just beat LoZ NES, I love how the dungeon format is almost exactly the same here as the dungeons in that original game were. You could really tell the devs were huge fans of the genre/style and polished it up to great lengths.

I can't say I quite enjoyed this as much as everyone else who raved about it at launch, but, in my opinion, is the best Luigi's Mansion out there. It expands upon the concept to such a grand degree that allows itself to get insanely creative and expressive, all for the best. While the new combat system felt off at times, the new tool set additions did wonders for expanding upon exploration at times. Not a fan of the game's bizarre level pacing/structure though - really brought the experience down for me.

There are very few game series I've been addicted to like I've been addicted to Splatoon. It's unfortunate it suffered a familiar fate that the first did, with a weak first few months of sparse content additions, but by the end of its cycle it's quickly become one of my favorite Switch games. I loved grinding the hell out of everything the game had to offer all over again - it has a great sense of atmosphere and one of the most enjoyable Nintendo universes on the Switch. I can't wait for an inevitable sequel to shake the series up even further.

Overwatch gets way too much hate to this day, at least on the non-competitive side. Having now played easily dozens of hours across three different platforms, the core gameplay loop and cast selection never gets old. I love the wacky and incredibly polished charm the game has and I still find myself perfecting the characters I've played over and over. I'm by no means good yet still find so much enjoyment in a genre I'm not too familiar with. Really hoping Overwatch 2 delivers in providing the meaningful single player experience I've been looking for.
