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.

F-ZERO OUTTA 10! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, actually more like 4 outta 10.
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.

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.
Too overly ambitious and trying to do the "LOL RANDOM=FUNNY" thing for its own good.
Oh, so a perfectly ok game...THAT'S where Joshscorcher got his name "Firebrand" from!
One of the more unique and fun platformers of the olden days of console wars.
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.

ANON GET OUT!
I have gained a newfound respect for people who master Puyo Puyo-type games.
Dang, that was actually a pretty fun shooter! Wonder if there are others I could check out...
Okay, now I KNOW I would have not been a Sonic fan in the console war. There are way too many times in this game that I felt like I died to something that just wasn't my fault.
No, this game really isn't jamming, actually. Kind of boring.
Yeah, still have no idea why Gadget got hitched to Zipper. Still a decently fun platformer.
Oh yeah, this game exists.
Well, at least I can say I finally played through the whole game instead of just using the warp whistles.
Mappy was always nostalgic for me in a way, being one of the first games I really played, so I can't help but smile at this cute little twist of the formula.
Can't beat the classics, sorry...expect for the games above this game, but SHHHHHHHHHHHH
An interesting spin on the original Dig-Dug formula, and managing to get all the enemies to fall into the ocean is always a blast.
Simplistic and easy to understand score attack game with slippery controls making it feel like you're on ice.
Okay, that's the point, but it's still not enjoyable.

Now this is a certified childhood classic.
A pretty good and solid arcade game.
I already forgot about it even after playing it 5 minutes ago.
Way more complex than an arcade machine was thought to be at the time.
