2023 First Time Plays Ranked

Alright. Thats it. Roll credits. Interesting year in life for me rebuilding myself into an adult man. Not so interesting in games. Katamari was the highlight fr fr. Started getting into some crpgs, game passed on a whim, more indie games which were often mid, and game passed around.

Heres about three sentences about every game i played for the first time this year. There are some games floating around that I started or continued this year that I didn't feel confident in writing on yet so those will show up in a future list. Have a good year folks!

God so much content. The manwa RPG version of xcom we didn't know we needed. Very copaganda but God do I lose hours just going through builds and grinding up side content to transform my characters play styles. Very fun mind goop.
Maybe I just like art exhibits idk. This album/art gallery is just lovely, exposing me to a wonderful artist I hadn't seen before through a creative interpretation of his works through an interactive landscape. Love how much passion there is here made by someone who clearly adores this painter!
So many of the excellent parts of katamari damage except with a focus on more content rather than the well scaled adventure of the first. Some parts with this change are fantastic, like the different princes you can collect and play as, though I just simply prefer the musings if the original. Still a true classic in its own right.
Dandori, dandori, dandori and how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. The key piece that this entry focuses on in the Pikmin ethos is how satisfying it is to complete a set of objectives in as timely a fashion as possible. Throughout all this games fluff and faults this fact reigns true and for that I applaud this wonderful game.
God Igarashi I'm a sucker for you. A smooth, creative, world hopping adventure with some of the rawest moments in the whole series. A castlevania for real castlevania sluts like myself.
Katamari is a perfect game from start to finish. The scaling from stage to stage feels like a symphony gathering more instruments as your scope and idea of size changes throughout the whole experience. Deserves a full write up but that's in due time.
