Games I Played In 2023 ranked

Time to chronicle my descent into insanity.

If you have a device that runs Apple Arcade and are interested in this game, than pop down a couple bucks just to give it a look.
A great rpg with guest star the Mii costume from Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
PRESERVE FLASH GAMES
Not as smooth as the Wii's moves (and who still has the straps), but it's still a blast to play through, and even more so if you have people willing to act like a chicken with you.

Also, the next game will have 9-Volt find a cursed .EXE-type game at this rate. Let my man catch a break from the horror genre.
I'll admit that I watched a full-on Let's Play for this, but I still got engrossed and enriched by the story. It's such a fun concept that got played with to its fullest. Plus it was surprisingly way more hilarious than it had any right to be (this holds the record for the funniest kissing scene I ever saw). It's a dark comedy/horror/love story that manages to deliver on its bleak premise admirably.
YOOOOOOO THEY FINALLY MADE NEW SUPER MARIO BROS GOOD!
In this corner, we have HYDROGEN ELEPHANT MARIO...

versus in the other corner, COUGHING HEDGEHOG!

BEGI-, and Super Mario Bros Wonder blasted this game out of the water.
I already forgot that this game exists.
More like F-Zero 99/200! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also hey, just noticed this is my 99th game I ranked here. Fitting!
This isn't Cuphead at Home. This is the Cuphead they serve to inmates at an abandoned prison complex.

Edit: They actually updated it to improve it a bit, which is nice, but still too many things aren't that good here to fully save it.
Not only did amigo return, but we also got a Rhythm Thief song?!? SEGA'S FINALLY USING OLD PROPERTY AND MAKING THEM GOOD!
While I still prefer the arcade style of the original Jet Set Radio, this open-world spraypainting style is still great. DIdn't like the combat, but it wasn't really there for that long for me to fully blame the game for.
Oh, I get it...

I don't get it.
Is the most graphically pleasing and beefiest Pikmin game yet, with challenges really testing your skills and wits, all the while being a genuine blast to play around and discover every little secret.
Well, that was painful...

And that was the easiest joke I made in my entire career.
The unironic savior of mascot horror.
SNAP! These quips are going into my cringe compilation.
It's a good game, but you could have updated the Pikmin AI at least Nintendo; don't be shy.
Yeah, I am NOT a cave person.
It still needs a good couple more modes and what not to not feel stale, but damn if what isn't there isn't polished to a damn fun time.
Finally, peak gameplay from a peak series.
A puzzle game that is literally a walking simulator.
It is called Tears Of The Kingdom because you find tears on different tiers of Hyrule!
When they revealed there was a second map with more levels I groaned in disappointment, hoping it was over.
Definitely not a game for me; I can respect it, but I don't like it.
In only 2 hours you will see everything this bland game will have to offer.
Reading about how the demo was leagues better than the release product was a rollercoaster ride.
"So, are you guys ready to be a hard game for players?"
Elden Ring shuddered.
Battletoads trembled.
Sweat dripped off of Super Meat Boy's face.
Cuphead's legs were shaking.
"Yes Dokapon Kingdom," they all said in unison.
The fact this is still better than a good half of Sonic's actual games is insane.
Man the beginning of the year really just popped off on all cylinders with so many GOTY contestants, even if some of the stuff isn't my thing.
What a disgusting scam designed to take more and more money.
Phazon Mines and Artifact Hunting practically sunk this game for me. The combat was a slog, the enemies being more annoying than threatening, and all the backtracking just furthered my dislike for it.
After playing BFBB Rehydrated and loving it more, thinking back on The Cosmic Shake has allowed me to love it a bit more for all the chances and gameplay style changes it has throughout the game, while still feeling like it has room to be even better.
That's a spicy game, and getting the P-Ranks is an even spicer challenge.
Good gameplay, terribly annoying protagonist. Also, Korsika isn't even that hot, you simps. If you guys love this game and Chai, that's fine. I can see that originality there and why people would love it, but I just think it's...good. Not great, not something I would want to try again, but just good. Not my genre of music.
All the posts online are emphasising the "DID I JUST DO THAT?!?" scene. There's way more to her character within the game, with her being rude, arrogant, mean, and irritating to listen to during combat...I didn't say the other stuff was good...
Is embarrassing even by early access standards.
Well, this game will help you sleep with how bland it is, so it has that going for it...
I kicked Hi-Fi Rush off a subway platform because Chai's humor was grating to me; this game had no chance, especially when the "turn off chatter" option doesn't even work all the time.
You can't spell Hello Neighbor 2 without the exact letters for "boring hell hoe 2".
Graphical nonsense aside, this is definitely how the series should expand.
Trying to figure out everything can be fun, yet it still feels like a mobile phone game. It's not relatively mindless yet still very good, and nothing else.
Such a unique and fun take on the 4V1 monster VS humans gameplay style.
An absolute disappointment of a fun idea and story. Take notes from 9-Volt from WarioWare university and NES Remix, please.
They really found a way to make players miss loot boxes.

WELL NOW THAT THEY FLAT OUT DECIDED TO NOT DO THAT PVE STORY THEY HYPED US UP FOR...

And now, congrats, the Hero Mastery mode gives you some redeemability, even if it isn't enough to stick around.
I literally just reviewed this game on the page, moved it onto my list after 4 others games, and I forgot about it till I saw its face after typing my statement up for Crash Team Rumble.
You're not a true gamer unless you get the Masters Of The Universe Achievement
Cringy dialogue aside, it's a fun action game that is great for speedrunners.
Please, touch the grass.
WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT LOCKING LEVEL PROGRESSION THROUGH ROCK PAPER SCISSORS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?
When the imposter is popping off bars
Reject Banban.

Return to Balan.
Antonball is the good, if repetitive part of the game. Punchball is a pointless add-on that isn't even fun other half of the game.
Manages to do its own thing while being the best of the past two games, and redefining how to do a proper remaster.
Turns out I'm not a DND player, who knew? It's definitely fine and has its moments, but it's just not something I would devote 60+ hours to.
Damn, that final chapter is actually pretty great for replay value.
A pretty solid and fun way to get people interested in the Mr. Driller series.
Sheesh, after playing the Cos-mid Shake, I'm sorry for treating you too harshly, BFBB: R.
One of the most chill games out there with a bizarre world and character designs.
The Maneater song isn't even that catchy. Still better than the game, though.
I did not expect this game to slap as hard as it did. Roguelikes like this game, Binding Of Isaac, and Hades are sneakily inching their way to being one of my favorite genres.
Why, it's even better a SECOND time! The puzzles were still super fun and unique, and the music and message at the end about perspectives and determination still hit just as hard. It's basically Getting Over It but actually good.
A surprisingly great way to keep gamers exercising and invested in getting to the end of the game.
Unique aesthetic and nothing else really.
It's a crossover with Nintendo and an Indie dev; it's surprisingly unique and a fun take on the Zelda formula I never really cared much for.
Star light, star bright, star brighter, star oh no it's going to go supernova oH NO OH N-
Definitely a game meant to be played during short bursts instead of binging through it.
The challenge mode was a legit bop and carries this otherwise mid game hard.
I think I may not just be a man of Lucas Pope games. They're finely put together, but they're just not my style or vibe. When they got to the point you needed to match shoes and tattoos together, I conceded defeat.
The fact you have to disobey to progress in the game tells us a lot about society...
I yearn for the surface. Wasn't really engaged with it, the mining and combat didn't really grab me, and thought the voice lines were more annoying than funny.
P ranking all the stages in Pizza Tower practically ruined Celeste for me, I'm sorry. It was already a 6/10 game for me, but getting a superior 2D platformer with a tough-as-nails challenge that is more fun to master than the B-side tracks as well as a more fun base game just makes Celeste all the more pointless to me.
Was fun for only a couple of matches before outstaying its welcome.
Katamari at home be like:
Goddamn this game is just a treat to play through no matter what; speedrun, 100%, casual, swimtrunks%, World Peace%, the game in terms of gameplay is practically flawless. There are games with better mixes of gameplay with other stuff like story and characters, but here, this is just pure bliss.
Man, what a unique style and soundfont that gives it its own identity!

Not my thing, but I can see this being someone else's thing.
Unironically better than Overwatch 2 at this point.
HEY!

...It's actually kind of just ok.
Definitely on the lower end of 7/10s, but it's still just a fun and relaxing mobile game.
I include the entire Riddle School/Transfer series here, and after enjoying them all and seeing them get more and more fun with each game, hearing what happened with the creator being a terrible person makes this my Hogwarts Legacy of the year. I love the art but hate the artist. At least I can still play the games knowing that they are entirely free, and thus knowing I'm not supporting the artist.
The DLC packs cost twice as much as the repetitive base game. Utter fail.
Whatever made my brain decided that it likes Balan Wonderworld but not Zelda needs to be classified as a defective brain cell.
They don't make rising number games like grandma used to make them.
A cute combination of horse racing and solitaire. Unfortunately, I don't get solitaire that much so I end up losing more often than I would like. Maybe I'll go back and go through the tutorial again to get better.
One of the veteran rage games.
Peak Newgrounds in creativity, insanity, tributing the past, and being raunchy and ridiculous so many it warps back to being amazing.
Bloons Tower Defense 6 spoiled me.
It's a coin flip if the game you're playing is good or not.
A fun little puzzle game about perspective. Not as good as Superliminal, but still fun to check around.
Thank you for watching playing this game Caddicarus so I didn't have to...

OKAY, GIRLS AND BOYS...
Still the best of the best in shooters, all these years later, and even with all the bugs and bots. It's simply timeless.
Just stick with Super Monkey Ball.
Bomberman Land did it better.
I was gonna retry Wind Waker but I lost all my data on accident so I just decided to try Minish Cap, and after 5 hours of not vibing with it, I'm finally ready to realize I'm not a Zelda person.
It's not as mind-blowing or engaging as the original or the spin-off, but it's still a fun time.
I wasn't even engaged in watching TheRunawayGuys play it; I think it's just not a game for me.
Annoying stick but it's longways and spins...

And it's not as annoying as it says.
I'll like to apologize to Mario Party Advance, as well as 9 and 10 for their car formulas.
It feels weird seeing it as GRIND instead of SET, but aside from that, it's a fantastic time that is, according to all those people online, a soulful game. I feel like Frank watching Max from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia performing that play and getting it now.
