Illusion of Gaia
First GOTM finished for May 2024. After playing Terranigma, and quite enjoying that one, I was excited to finally get around to Illusion of Gaia. It's...alright. Nothing in it blew me away, the music wasn't terribly memorable, and the writing felt stilted and off. The character transformations were fun, and some of the boss fights were entertaining, but often the actual gameplay mostly devolved into poking stuff with a flute. Level design wasn't all that great, but there were some interesting puzzles thrown in that I enjoyed. The story was sometimes just all over the place, and even having beaten the entire game I still feel like a chunk of lore is missing. Glad to have finally gotten around to this one, but overall a pretty average experience.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Third GOTM finished for April 2024. Does it show its age as an early 3D game from the 90's going back to it now? Absolutely. Is it still one of the most incredible, influential games ever made? Absolutely. The Ship of Harkinian port made this one feel like I remember playing it as a kid, with the improvements really heightening my experience revisiting this one. Hard to say much about arguably one of the most talked about games to ever exist, but I had an absolute blast revisiting my childhood in the world of Hyrule!

Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Fourteenth GOTW finished for 2024. Boy howdy, did I not enjoy this one. Some of the slipperiest platforming controls I've every played in a game, combined with some absolute cruel enemy placement and disorganized level design. Why would you include such finite platforming sections in a game where the protagonist literally cannot stop sliding!? Also the boss fights were rock-paper-scissors for some reason. Never again.
