114. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (currently playing)

Really mixed feelings on this one. The underwater combat is cool, I love the vibes, and LR Village is mostly great, but HR Village health pools are WAY too fucking big and I'm really not yet sure how I feel about the game's turbo grindy structure

113. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (currently playing)

Monster Hunter's core combat at its peak, and damn is it a blast. I still prefer GU for its variety of tools and monsters, but there's a hell of a lot to love here, and it's my second favorite in the series. Really needs a modern port, though

112. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (currently playing)

A dramatic step up from base World in terms of fight design, and I'm still loving every second of it. The new hub is great and the vibes are just as fantastic as they were in the base game

111. StarCraft II, Multiplayer (currently playing)

Yeah this is straight-up my favorite multiplayer game of all time, and I'm having just as much fun as I did when I was first getting into it back during HotS over a decade ago

110. Monster Hunter Dos (dropped)

Genuinely crazy to me that the team that made a game this bad twice in a row was allowed to continue

109. Monster Hunter Tri (shelved)

I am very rarely in the right headspace for this kind of cozygame-adjacent structure. One day I'll probably come back and finish it, though. It's got amazing vibes and some surprisingly cool unique features

108. Monster Hunter World (completed)

This game REALLY grew on me over time. I tried and failed to get into it twice and even after I started to love Monster Hunter it took a while to grow on me, but these days I fucking love it. The combat is still really solid and the vibes are off the charts

107. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (shelved)

Really want to play more of this at some point. It's third gen Monster Hunter without the underwater combat, and also without High Rank Village quests or a G Rank, but still with spectacular cozy vibes

106. Look Outside (dropped)

I think most people would love this game. I am not most people. Since Metaphor blackpilled me on JRPG "resource management" I've been unable to stomach it in anything, and this game leans into it SUPER hard. Awesome fucking soundtrack and vibes though

105. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (completed)

My favorite Monster Hunter game, and one of my favorite games of all time. The sheer variety of fun-to-use options (even if there are balance issues) and unparalleled monster roster just put this game over the top for me. A masterpiece

103. Monster Hunter Wilds (shelved with prejudice)

Look how they massacred my favorite combat system
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
102. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (shelved)

Some of the best combat in any video game ever made. Unfortunately everything else is pretty mid. The open-world exploration can be a lot of fun but I'm just not really enjoying the story shit and the minigames are mostly super whatever

101. WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos (shelved)

It's still an RTS made by Blizzard in their prime, and I still enjoy it, but it stands well below both SC games for me. I just don't really love its de-emphasis of macro, its awkward game feel, and its (at least for me) much weaker vibes. Solid story tho
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
100. StarCraft: Brood War, Multiplayer (shelved)

I fucking LOVE this game, and it's probably the single deepest video game ever created, but man oh man is it exhausting to play well. I need a break after each game, lmao

99. StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm (replay, shelved)

Definitely a step down from Wings in both mission design and storytelling, but I love playing Zerg so much that I can't help but love it anyway, and it's still got its fair share of fun missions and toys
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
98. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (replay, completed)

Beyond a shadow of a doubt my favorite RTS campaign of all time. Fucking incredible mission design, tons of fun progression options and toys to play with, and the underlying game rests comfortably in my top 5 of all time
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
97. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (shelved)

Basically a straight improvement on Galaxy 1. Lots of great levels and tons of wonderfully inventive ideas. Really happy to finally have this on the Switch
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
96. Donkey Kong Bananza (shelved)

Still not really sure how I feel about this one, honestly. It's very viscerally satisfying and feels great but I can't help feeling like the destructibility of practically everything makes all of the level design feel less intentional and crafted
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
95. Radiant Historia (shelved)

A really cool game with excellent vibes and an immaculate soundtrack by the incredible Yoko Shimomura that I just simply cannot seem to get into for the life of me
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
94. Baldur's Gate III (shelved)

Beyond a shadow of a doubt my favorite CRPG. Does that mostly come down to the fact that I can make a hot twink and take all his clothes off? Maybe. The encounter design is pretty stellar too, though. I just wish they picked a system that wasn't motherfucking D&D 5e
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
93. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (dropped)

It's FF Tactics with a new coat of paint. To call FFT one of my favorite SRPGs would be correct, but misleading, since I still don't really like it that much. Why does this remaster still have so many of the original's massive QoL issues?
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
92. Dawnsbury Days (shelved)

I love Pathfinder 2, and this is a fun little Pathfinder 2 simulator that I had a solid enough time with even if it was very visibly made with the budget of a single french fry and half a diet coke
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
91. Shadowrun: Dragonfall (dropped)

As CRPGs go, this was one of the more interesting ones mechanically, but it's still a CRPG and I still failed to get into it
December 3, 2025 at 7:26 AM
90. Silent Hill f (shelved)

Really want to play more of this. I was really enjoying the vibes and general atmosphere but the gameplay was super whatever. I expect the writing to kick off super hard a few hours in as is typical of Ryukishi and am very much looking forward to when it does

89. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (completed)

Actually pretty fun! My favorite Castlevania game, I think. It has a pretty awful stretch before the fake ending, but the true ending stuff is excellent and really saved the game for me. Lots of issues, still, but overall a great time
