Terrorist Hunt was so goofy I loved it
Best memories playing terrorist hunt on the highest difficulty
This game is such a gem! I played the crud out of this game back in my college resident days, switching off with people as we cleared levels. It's a tight game. Kind of lightning in a bottle sort of thing. It just feels good. It just is fun. It has not right being as good as it is, and I wish they still made shooters like this one.
Sea of Thieves
2018
Jumping in for the "A Pirate's Life" expansion was a delightful introduction to Sea of Thieves. This is peak "make your own fun" game design, and the world gives you enough to do so. However, playing with friends is the ideal here. Whether we were actually going on quests or using the long voyages to catch up in chat while manning the ship, I never had a boring moment. Seemingly done with this for now, but eager to go back next chance I get.

this is a fun game, yeah, but the fact it is neglected by EA, leaving cheaters to run rampant like tf2
bizarre as it sounds, it’s probably the most fleshed out and expansive star wars galaxy in a game since probably KOTOR.
as a lego game, it’s one of the very best

Would genuinely be 9/10 if the SBMM in this game wasn’t as bad as it was.
The SBMM in this game is worse than fucking Warzone’s. At least in Warzone I can do badly in a match and proceed to get 5 kills the next one. Apex’s SBMM makes me feel way worse at the game than I actually am. I was performing well until I got a win, now I’m being pitted up against the champion squad with “TTV_Wraith”, with 20K kills, 794 wins and 547K damage done. It’s almost as if Respawn implemented a rigging system. This game also killed Titanfall 3. Those 2 things are the only things that prevent me from giving this game 10/10. But fun.

Psychonauts 2
2021
This feels like it emerged from an alternate timeline where 3D platformers never went away, but instead got to keep evolving and experimenting until they reached new heights. It's very impressive what Double Fine has pulled off here, making the best non-Nintendo case for a genre many had written off.
And yet, as good as this is, it's got the same problem that has plagued fellow platformers like Banjo-Tooie, and fellow massive sequels like Portal 2: It's too big and bloated of a follow-up. It's GOOD, and it's MORE Psychonauts...yet it never taps into the brilliant spark at the heart of the first game.
The best mental worlds occur in the first two levels (Loboto's Brain and the Casino Hospital), and from there nothing else really wows the way the triple threat of Milkman Conspiracy, Gloria's Theater, and Waterloo World did in the original. The graphics are astounding, the score and sound design superb, and the character designs delight. But they're all in service of a story that, while quite ambitious and well-written, is so heavy and so melancholy that it really made me miss the whimsical darkness of the first game, which managed to tap into plenty of its own insightful takes on mental health without getting as morose as this one does.
This is a great game, one of the best of the year. Yet it tries to pack in so much so unevenly that it's ultimately a sequel that I feel falls short of its predecessor.

Luigi's Mansion 3

One of the best looking games on Switch. The environments are always a joy to explore, but there aren't enough upgrades to keep the gameplay interesting throughout the entire campaign.
Dat alternate ending tho
LEGO Island
1997
Inspired by the true story of how a trail of Pizza lead to the capture of the Unabomber.
The DEFINITIVE way to play this title. A few detrimental aesthetic changes aside, the quality of life improvements, revamped cinematics, and adherence to an already perfect formula makes this a winner. Hyrule Field is still mostly empty, but this remake makes exploring every other corner of the kingdom a joy.

Flirts SO CLOSELY with perfection. Bad audio mixing and some ass-quality final levels/boss fight kneecap what is otherwise a flawless marathon of inventive 3D platforming. This game soars on its phenomenal and unique premise. The triple threat of Milkman Conspiracy, Gloria's Theater, and Waterloo World are some of the finest levels in 3D platforming history. This universe and its characters are all winners, and I loved every minute spent with them. An absolute must play for 3D platforming enthusiasts.
