Hey, I was slightly involved in a thing. Ys vs. remains the anomaly that keeps on giving. Never thought we'd see the day where this game gets the royal treatment, but I'm all for it. Congrats to all involved, and I hope this is a success for refint/ so they can give more games this much love.

This little side-eying guy broke out of my apartment last night by getting the screen off a window, knocking out a pane, and squeezing through. Thankfully, my neighbors caught him but sheeeesh.

9. Satisfactory (2024)
Huh? Where'd those 200 hours go? lol Anyway, this was my first automation-style game (if we're not counting Zachtronics games), and if my playtime is any indication, it really got its hooks into me. Looking forward to an eventual second run where I can apply all my learnings.

8. Blue Prince (2025)
A very interesting game that I want to love, but just like quite a bit instead. I felt surprisingly numb when I hit the credits, though. I'll continue with some more to address a couple loose threads, but whether or not that will shift my overall opinion remains to be seen.

Probably goes without saying at this point, but thoroughly entertaining show. Will probably keep watching when it comes back.

4. A Game About Digging a Hole (2025)
Gave this a go on a whim. I had fun, but it never quite took the next step I was hoping it would. Hard to complain too much for a $5 game, though. Something like this with more long-term goals and progression would make for a great podcast game.

3. Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
The action scenes are completely over the top, but little else about it worked for me. A considerable step down from the first movie, in my opinion.

2. Carry-On (2024)
My mom put this on while I was still home for the holidays because it was ostensibly a christmas movie. It was a fine enough as a turn-your-brain-off thriller, but this is one of those things I'll have forgotten by the end of the year.

1. Magicka 2 (2015)
I was at a friend's, we needed a couch co-op game to play, and he happened to have this on PS+. I hear the first game (haven't played) is the stronger entry, but I still had plenty fun with this one. Finding new ways to accidentally gib each other remained entertaining to the end

A one-sitting dose of magic. It speaks to some fundamental things in a way I don't often see in games.

5. The Witness
Disclaimer: Yes, it's pretentious and not fun to 100%. But this game hit me at the right time in the right way. For all its foibles, The Witness is a great puzzler and another on the list of games that made me want to take notes. You view the world a little different after this one

4. 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
It is rare a game has me scribbling notes down constantly and makes me lose my collective shit like 999 had me. My perception of the game has changed with time, but it still holds a special place in my heart. Also, play the DS version even if it lacks QOL

2. Breath of the Wild
This was the game that made me realize I really enjoy exploring in games. The ability to climb anywhere just sucked me into this for like two weeks straight. Planning my climbs, picking a location from the top, and gliding down over and over again. TotK was cool, but no BotW.

1. Terraria
I have around 875 hours in this game. Been playing since 1.0 and it's just been a fun game to come back to over and over as it's been updated. Fun alone as a podcast game, and fun with friends, too.
