After Mario games were clearly lacking compared to the predecessors from around 2011 to 2016, Odyssey is a welcome breath of fresh air and is honestly one of the best games in the series. An actual 3D game, not a 2D Mario in a 3D space, Odyssey’s movement is immensely satisfying, the worlds are beautiful and full of life, and it gives the player a near unlimited amount of freedom. We need more like this, not 3D Land/World.

One of my favorite Metroidvanias. Wish I played it sooner. Combining Metroidvania and Beat-em-up gameplay with Mexican culture of wrestling and Dia de los Muertos is such a beautiful combination

Nice to finally have a proper Monkey Ball game on modern platforms. Hopefully this leads to a brand new game. Unfortunate that there is no online multiplayer for the party games

Played it once for about an hour and it was dumb fun. Not too fun to make me want to come back to it. No voice acting and boring music kills the experience

The original music made for this game is amazing, but the game itself has a lot to be desired so far. Hopefully it will be better when the full game is finished.

Combat is decent, parkour is pretty fun. Ending is actual shit and forces you into a single player only section despite allowing you to play the entire game with others

This game is so damn good in every single way. Zooming around in the overworld and the Press-Turn battle system are addicting. Nahobino has one of the best MC designs I've ever seen. If Dread didn't come out this year, SMT V would definitely be my GOTY for 2021

I finished this game 6-7 times and was even teaching myself how to do speedrun strats. Easily the best 2D Metroid and one of the finest games on the Switch. Absolutely worth all the hype; best game of 2021 without a doubt

Toby Fox did it again man. Spamton is my favorite new character of the year. The music is so well composed and the dialogue is expertly written; as to be expected from Toby's games

Played the whole game in one sitting and kind of forget it came out. Was a fun experience, but I really wish the co-op was online so I could actually see what it's like

Genuinely one of the best Zelda games which is now even better thanks to some very welcome QoL additions. Sucks that one of those QoL functions is locked behind an amiibo

Fantastic cast of characters and interesting story with some well thought out cases. The ending is god awful and almost ruined the whole game and series for me

Excellent sequel with improved gameplay. A tad bit long for a Metroidvania, but a great experience

2018

One of the best retro-style FPS games out there.

Quite possibly the best DLC expansion to any game ever.
