Uncharted the Lost Legacy 8/10. I played Uncharted 4 like 8 years ago, so I finally got around to playing the expansion. It's more Uncharted 4, so if you liked that, you'll like this. Beautiful looking game, even almost a decade later, we really did peak graphically 10 years ago, huh?

Sin & Punishment Start Successor 8/10. Man, the Wii was made for rail shooters like this. What an awesome game with rad visuals and amazing music. Really fun mechanics that keeps you on your toes. The game gets really hard, even on normal I only beat the first stage without dying.

Ghost of Yotei 9/10. I think both games are about equal, though I do like the story and Atsu as a character more. I played the game on hard, and wow, it kicked my butt a lot. parrying is way more strict in this one. Game looks gorgeous and I did a lot of nature photography in the photo mode.

No Sleep for Kaname Date 7/10. I was kinda worried about the fladnerization in this since Uchikoshi was not leading this, but was surprised at how little it was. Love the return of the Date and Aiba dynamic so much. Still keeps the laugh one minute and have your heart strings tugged the next.

Phoenix Write Ace Attorney Trilogy 9/10. I should have done these individually, but I played the first before I started doing this. I would put all 3 games pretty close to each other. Fun stories and writing, I love the way Write and Maya bounce off each other so well, and lots of heart in all 3.

Snake Pass 8/10. Fun little game, remember hearing goo thing about it when it came out and picked it up on a whim for $3. Very creative premise with fun and cozy levels that had a good difficulty curve with a really nice soundtrack. 11/10 for vibes.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow 7/10. I actually started this last year, but got lost and played other games. Good game, good music, collecting souls is annoying, though I didn't have much trouble getting the required ones.

Donkey Kong Bananza 9/10. As the follow up to Mario Odyssey, this game had a lot to live up to, and while I like odyssey more, I had a ton of fun with this game. Gameplay can be a bit simple with a lot of it being destroy, exploring levels with that in mind is quite addicting.

Okami 9.75/10. An absolutely beautiful game, an art style that holds up today, great gameplay (with some ps2 era jank) and an amazing soundtrack. There's a reason why this one is beloved to this day. This one was a bucket list game ever since I watched chugga's LP almost 15 years ago.

Ghost Trick: 9/10. What a fantastic little game; fun story and puzzles with loads of charm. I'm glad they rereleased this for modern platforms and gave this little DS game another chance.

Saints Row 6.5/10. The game's rough, but everything's gotta start somewhere. The game's buggy and performance is is rough, gameplay is stiff but there is an undeniable charm to it's simplicity as a GTA clone in 2006 on a new next gen console before it got its footing in the next game.

I reorganized my game collection because I foresaw that the current system was not going to be sustainable for much longer. This way I can stack higher while keeping alphabetical order

Metroid Fusion 8/10. While way more linear, and you can take way too much damage sometimes, it has great atmosphere, and a cool story.

I also have to think about getting a case for it. I never had to think about it with the switch, because I used the case that came with BotW collectors edition at launch and used ever since

Metroid Zero Mission 8.5/10. Fun and concise little game and very tightly designed search action (yes I will call it that).

Monster Hunter Wilds 8.5/10. As my first MH game, I had a blast, the story was fine enough, combat is super fun and fluid. Looking forward to hunting with friends more now that I'm done with the post game quests.

Kirby Planet Robobot 8/10. I liked it a bit more than TD, the mech was way more fun that hyper kirby, and I liked a lot of the level themes more. Though I played this mostly with 3D on again and it would drop frames quite a bit. Glad to finally have a few kirby games under my belt now.

Shoutouts to @darkknight1107.bsky.social for the birthday gift. This will be my first monster hunter, so looking forward to sinking my teeth into it.

Ace Combat 7: 9/10 Another first time with a series, and what a great one to start. Even when I was failing, I had so much fun because the gameplay is so tight and and just fun to fly, even if I had some difficulty following the plot at some points (don't kill me lore nerds).

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box: 8/10 First time trying out the series, I had a lot of fun playing this on the train rides to school most days and woke my mind up every morning with its puzzles. The plot was a bit silly, but I enjoyed the vibe a ton. Definitely have to play more some time.
