One of the few games that truly deserves the title of "hidden gem", this game is criminally unknown. With fantastic writing, a nice art style, great soundtrack, and simple but fun gameplay this game is just an all around classic imo. i have a problem of dropping RPGs and metroidvanias midway through playing them, so the fact this one kept me hooked through the whole journey is a testament to its consistent high quality.

I'll sadly admit this game didn't quite grab me as much as i had hoped throughout the whole journey. The opening few hours are fantastic, and i was thoroughly immersed in the world. But some later areas drag on for especially long and the combat got a bit stale after awhile. The story kept me going however and made the journey worth it.

A very basic but enjoyable warioware game. I'm not super into chasing high scores so this didnt hold me for long after finishing the game, but I did enjoy trying all the extra modes and completing the surprisingly short story mode. Frantically switching between the different types of microgames (touch, rotate, and mash) was cool. Nothing really blew me away here though, just seems a bit standard although enjoyable.

The first Animal Crossing game I've really throroughly played. New Leaf on the 3DS was my first exposure to the series, but as an idiot 12 year old I did not have the patience nor interest for it. I get that New Horizons is a lot different from previous entries, according to fans of the series, but personally I really love how you can decorate outside your house and shape the entire world to your liking in this game. However, the few small annoyances that are barriers to this can feel quite grating after a short time. So many DIYs to find and only getting 1 or 2 each day, crafting taking forever, and inventory management being just generally annoying really hampered my experience and kept me from investing more time into building my island into what I had envisioned. Overall, while New Horizons offers a fulfilling opportunity to shape your island to your liking, the consistent pervasive annoyances like tiny inventory space and cumbersome crafting mechanics can detract from the overall enjoyment, leaving a lingering sense of frustration on an otherwise fantastic game.
