god I wish current Mario Party was half as fun as the first few, from the clunky character models to the charming boards with matching costumes for the players. The minigames are ROUGH in the funniest way possible and so are mechanics such as landing on the CHANCE TIME space and swapping all your hard-earned stars with another player on round 47 after 5 hours of playing.
This game will always be in my heart.

The deep space sci-fi atmosphere of this game with the visual style, the storytelling through artifacts and the eerie, synthetic OST make this game an unforgettable experience. The segmentation makes progress feel so good.

This title deserves every award it got. From its gorgeous art style to its swift gameplay, every aspect of Hades is so well polished that trying to escape the underworld feels just amazing. The daring but mind-blowing representation of the greek deities and their stories, which the player discovers bit by bit through interactions with them during and in between escape attempts, feels so natural that one may not suspect to what point they are accurately based on classical greek culture.
The combat is pure joy. Its learning curve may be a bit too steep, but the controls are so simple and its mechanics so intuitive that it's easy to get accustomed to it. Besides, the rewards and skills that the player obtains during runs (all of them passive) helps the player reach just a bit further on every try, which along with the bullyish relationship between Hades and the main character makes completing a run the most gratifying itch to scratch.
