Only going to include games I played from 2022 onward. There are lots of others I love, but I want to replay them so I can look at them with a fresh set of eyes. Looking forward to trying some new games and reexperiencing some old ones I enjoyed!

Excellent game! That said, I've seen people hype it up a lot in comparison to Triple Deluxe, and honestly I think they were pretty similar quality-wise. Just a fun, solid Kirby game. Nothing too special, but I did like it a lot.
Just a fun, innovative Pokemon game. I loved the exploring and the catching mechanics. I do think the gameplay could be a little slow at times-- and that there could have been more battles, but I really liked it overall. The story was awesome, as were the characters. Wish there was more Pokemon variety, though. I'd loved to have seen more Pokemon that weren't in the original Sinnoh dex.
Legends Arceus sets a great precedent, and I'd love to see more Legends games like it in the future.

Honestly... for all its flaws, I absolutely LOVE Pokemon Scarlet. I was delighted the entire time I played. I kept laughing giddily and saying stuff like "I can't believe this is a Pokemon game." The open-world aspect is fantastic, and the story is wonderful... definitely a jump up from Gen 8's. I very much enjoyed the new Pokemon, too-- although I wasn't big on any of the starters.
I understand that it's a buggy game. But the core gameplay loop and story work, and that's what's important to me. Bugs can be fixed later, whereas those other elements can't, really... and that's why it beats out Sword and Shield in my mind. It was just FUN TO PLAY, and hopefully the issues will be fixed with time.
That said, I don't appreciate the crunch Gamefreak is under. This game should have been allowed more time in the cooker, that way it could have been even better. They shouldn't have had to choose between a fun/ambitious game and a glitchless game in the first place. But I appreciate what they did with the time they had. I think they made something really, really wondeful.
My only complaint is that the environments are a little samey and there's not much to do in the postgame. Overall, though, I loved it, and I hope the series continues to go in this direction... at least with regards to its gameplay. The development cycle aspect could 100% use some work.
