Not the biggest fan of the gameplay but the narrative & character writing are amazing which are the main charm points of this game
It Takes Two

Peak of split-screen co-op game with extremely fun and collaborative gameplay that equally involves both players at all times. Despite how often the mechanics change, the game is not at all confusing to play & the tutorialization of all the different mechanics is very simple to understand with the game giving you just enough time to learn and enjoy all the mechanics to their fullest before changing them out and giving you a new set of mechanics to play with.
Fantasy Life

A perfect game that manages to take the complicated RPG genre and simplify it into something easily digestible for kids without cutting anything important out.

Performance issues aside, this game is probably the best main series Pokemon game alongside B&W. A lot of experimental approaches to the seriess' existing tropes that actually work extremely well with the game and make it 10x more immersive. All the characters are likeable & relatable, and this game has one of if not the best narrative in any Pokemon game so far. Made me cry multiple times
Very interesting tonal shift at the end with the uncanny & scifi elements that lead up to very emotionally-packed gameplay moments that you would not really expect from a Pokemon game.
Soundtrack is amazing, composers did a great job.

Fun rhythm game mechanics that give an appropriate amount of challenge without being too difficult that you can't move past levels. The music is good and fitting for each level, and the artstyle is amazing. Felt interestingly nostalgic at the end
I liked this game but I found Godot to be pretty annoying tbh
Edit: I increased my score from 3.5 to 4.5 because I've grown as a person and I realized I shouldn't let my dislike for one rando old guy taint my impression of this awesome game

I love this game
Edit: My score is staying the same but I just want to add that I have no idea what Shu Takumi was cooking with this game only that I like it
