Games I played in 2022 ranked
New year, same old set up with new games and looser restrictions. Only requirement is that I have to have a good feel for them and see what the primary gameplay loop is about.

A fun game, this Banjo-Kazooie, but rate it too high up, it can't be! Sure I love the Monster Mansion and Freezy Peak, but there is more here that I managed to seek. With Rusty Buckets and the Cavern of Clanker, makes me curse out and my feelings feel danker. Add in a camera that makes aiming a chore, and I can't see just why this game is so widely adored. Nice to see Banjo and his friend make it to smash, but another go on this game so soon is one I'll pass.
Still a solid 7/10, just wanted to voice some criticisms that I never saw for this game.

Well, at least I can say I finally played through the whole game instead of just using the warp whistles.
Great gameplay with music than can feel repetitive with amusing characters for a good story that doesn't stay too long. If I was more into hack and slash games and this game had a better camera, it could probably be an easy 8/10.
The best in the series, with the most unique characters, the largest and most funtrack selection, and a proper battle mode.
If you played the original, this is still worth checking out. But it isn't going to light the world up again like the original.
This game has no right to be this game 5 years later. The best boss rush type of game I have played with some of the smoothest controls and best animations I have ever seen.
Beaten in the Reverie collection. Definitely a cute and charming game, albeit one with controls that just feel a bit too slippery for me. And that wind bullet keeps feeling a bit too short and unreliable at times.
The combat really isn't my cup of tea, nor is the badge system. I would take permanent upgrades and level everything up at once over those annoying badge points and leveling only one stat at a time any day of the week.
Edit: Bumping this up to 7/10 because of the Toad that cheated on his girlfriend.

As soon as I heard that intro song I knew I was in for a fun time.
A nice quick little puzzle game that is easy to breeze through in an afternoon.
I really wanted to like this game, but the fact that I was bored by slaying Colossus beings says it all.
Abby was right.
Not as stunning as the original, and the shortcomings of the original are a bit more prominent here, but it's still a charming game worth at least one trip.
Yeah, I played it again. Still a banger.
Yeah, I tried to play it during the Steam Sale, but man it just wasn't fun. Maybe I'm too small brain for card games, but even when I was winning I wasn't having fun.
Edit: Tried it out again, and it was better than I thought, but man, I just really find the card deck aspect to be utterly boring.

Totally Reliable Delivery Service exists. This game is just that, and it's lucky it came out first. Still doesn't mean I rather play this than that.
Definitely a bit shorter than the original Cuphead, but damn if it isn't just as fun! If I packaged Cuphead with it's DLC, it definitely would be a bit higher up on my favorite games of all time's list!
Yeah, this game kind of annoyed me with just how much it loved to hide stuff without any obvious indication at times, how lost I can feel, and from just how annoying the controls can be, ESPECIALLY for wall-jumping. I get it; these are things that metroidvanias are good at and that's why they're popular, but for me, this game kind of killed off any remaining interest I may have had in the Metroid franchise.
The SP version which gave you all the powerups was nice though.

It's not FlingSmash, Geist, or Burnout Crash!.
Not Mario Party 6 or Ultra Smash.
Neither Clubhouse Games or Wii Fit Plus.

All the games I played, whether good or bad,
Have tropes in common. My favorite doo-dads!
They may be rushed or plain or flawed, but ain't RPGs.
Oh, thank god.
Are my tastes just bad?
Am I the one to blame?
Or is it RPGs that are
Dumb. And lame.
Why don't you play them?
They just take so damn long to complete.
Why don't you play them?
Sixty hours just to rinse and repeat.
But you can grind for years just to beat that boss, oooh-ooh
Why waste all this time on just one game?
Why don't you play them?
Turn-based battles and too much text.
I'd rather be out not having sex.
Menu clutter and useless stats.
And random encounters can kiss my ass!
No gameplay till hours in.
Combat ready! How did I win?
The same thing happens over again.
And then their fun part comes up when?
I missed one thing and now I'm lost.
That one inch of text really meant a lot?
There's some shop with items I can't afford.
So grind for money. You won't be bored!
I'm tired. I'm scared. I'm not having fun.
There's no other way this can be spun!
What do I do? What do I check?
It's an RPG. What did I expect?
Why don't you play them?
They're so good, though.
You can't have opinions!
Listen, guys.
Why don't you play them?
They're not my style!

I like Super Paper Mario. That is my response to the question of why this is so low.
Honestly had more fun with the sequel than the original. A more challenging puzzle game, a funnier game, and a more rewarding time.
Also, Want You Gone is better than Still Alive.

Doesn't really ring out any positive emotions from me.
I really wish I was a Metroidvania fan. I remember beating it twice; getting the bad ending than the good ending, and just thinking it was a 7/10. Replaying it now, it was a 7 or 8 out of 10 till I got to the Deepnest, when it became a 6/10. The Deepnest changes a person.
