Alan Wake II
2023
Alan Wake II is a remarkable triumph in creativity and gaming as a whole.
Starfield

This one is on me for not spending more time with it and not wanting to engage with some of the systems present but...
After ~8-9 hours, I am dropping this for now and may or may not come back to it. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and New Vegas are all among some of my favorite games of all time, but this just continues the trend for me that Bethesda is moving in a direction that I don't personally resonate with.

A ship descends on rocky crusted earth.
Alien, yet familiar excitement;
A world I have dreamt to explore preserved.
Nostalgia, though not mine, still existent,
Somehow shapes me - I acquiesce and bend.
Intensely immersed; Samus' view as mine,
Pounding drums smash my ears as I begin;
I completely fucking love Metroid Prime.
Through lava and ice, water, steel, and dirt,
Freedom and exploration - heaven sent.
Boss fights were fun, though some of them sure hurt;
the Omega Pirate, I do resent,
Power Missiles to the face said "get bent."
Definitely was humbled by the mines,
but in adversity, I stayed content -
I completely fucking love Metroid Prime.
In ranking Metroids, I'd put Prime in first.
Though I love Dread and its gameplay augments,
Exploration and atmosphere are worth
More to me by far, one-hundred percent.
I'm glad that I got to experience,
Finally after waiting so much time.
Reputation deserved and I'm content.
I completely fucking love Metroid Prime.
Prime 2 and 3 - continue the ascent,
Remaster them both, so I can spend time
Writing more poems, reviews to be penned -

Me, normally: My stupid dumb ass switch is just a paper weight at this point, piece of shit underpowered console run by a shit company who makes games for toddlers.
Me when Metroid Prime Remastered comes out: Here's 40 Dollars Sir! May I Shine Your Shoes? Let Me Hang Your Coat Up Mr. Nintendo!

Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface

This game is awesome, but there is r.o.b so its mega awesome
Super Mario Odyssey
2017
I love this game so much. It's just so much fun. The insane traversal tools this game gives you to work with makes the simple act of just moving around in the worlds fun, even when you aren't doing anything specific. I love 3D platformers and collectathons, and this is the best one in my opinion. There is still so much potential for the capture mechanic, and I am hoping for Mario Odyssey 2 to be revealed all the time.
Somehow, the bad optimization returned.
Super Mario World
1990
This game makes me feel pure joy. The charming visuals, great music, all of it is the definition of comfy. All of the levels are packed with tons of secrets to find and in my opinion, it has the best level design out of any 2d Mario so far. All of it gives me a childlike sense of fun.
They said it would be stupid to pay sixty dollars for a collection of three games more than a decade old.
What they didnt count on is, im incredibly fucking stupid.
