Celeste made me fall in love with 2D platformers all over again. This is an absolutely splendid game. The art style, the music, the theme, the heart, and the tight, fluid, incredibly engaging gameplay makes this game an absolute must-play.
My personal favorite game of all time, Wind Waker combines the classic 3D Zelda formula with a creative and immersive open world that (despite being slow to explore sometimes) completely sells the high seas fantasy.

A phenomenal expansion to Persona 5 and a delightful experience overall. This game is better than the original Persona 5 in every respect except one: there is one boss fight which is unforgivable in its poor design choices, and that's the solitary blemish on what is otherwise a flawless game.

I can't tell you why this game is so great; please play it to find out.
This is a charming JRPG with robust mechanics and a story with a lot of heart. Much deeper than it appears at first glance.
2013
A decently enjoyable action horror game that completely fails to live up to the towering achievements of its two predecessors. This game adds cool lore and an engaging setting, but in terms of plot and character it just can't stack up.

I struggle to think of a modern pixel art game that's more beautiful than Blasphemous. The gorgeous and imaginative art style is backed up with thrilling, satisfying combat that makes this an absolute gem for any Metroidvania fans.
This DLC is an absolute embarrassment. The gameplay is almost compelling, but by the end of the game the player is far too overpowered (NOT something you want to be in a survival horror game) for any of the enemies to serve as anything close to a threat. Decently well-executed jumpscares are completely undercut by the DLC's complete failure to challenge the player at any point. As for the story, what was touted as the darkest chapter of the Dark Souls franchise was delivered to players by completely undercutting the genuinely impressive worldbuilding and lore the base game managed to establish in favor of a few cheap scares and some unearned bleakness. EA is charging $10 for a no-stakes necromorph shooting gallery that actively sabotages the phenomenal setting of the franchise, and I can't in good conscience recommend it to anybody.
2010
A true masterpiece of an open world RPG. Fallout 4 wishes it was this good.
2017
This is a solid open world game with a great plot bogged down by just a bit too much busywork.
2019
Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a really lovely game with some very well designed levels and gorgeous visuals. The experience is marred a bit by some obtuse puzzles and a few frustrating boss fights but fans of Luigi should still give it a try.
2020
This is a charming game with an engaging story and some genuinely gorgeous setpieces. Unfortunately, it's held back a bit by some unnecessarily slow gameplay and a few puzzles that are just a bit too obtuse for their own good.
2015
This is a really goofy game but it also provides some solid action platforming gameplay, and the different playable Bros all have remarkably deep and varied gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, this does mean some are much better than others.
2019
This is a charming little game with some very cute level design, and while it doesn't really do anything wrong, it doesn't do much to stand out either. Still a good time for a 3D platformer fan looking to burn a few hours, though.
It's Dark Souls. Dark Souls is amazing.
