I normally combine BotW/TotK but decided to list them both so I wouldn't have to choose. I'm confident in my top 6 (and generally their orders) but after that I just picked 4 of my all time favorites. I was also thinking of adding mario sunshine, metroid prime, paper mario, and majora's mask.

#1 Breath of the Wild
#2 Tears of the Kingdom
#3 Minecraft
#4 Portal 2
#5 Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
#6 Super Mario Odyssey
#7 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
#8 Xenoblade Chronicles 3
#9 Super Smash Bros Brawl
#10 Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I think the bug affects Wii U / 3ds dates as well, but I don't have proof. I have a few games showing 12/24, but they should be Christmas Day. I also remember my dad taking me to a random Walmart on the way back from up north (a Sunday) to get new leaf. But it shows I started it on Saturday instead.

Yoshi's Story gets so much hate but I love it. Lots of creative levels, just chill vibes (no need to get to the "end" of any level), and a really creative soundtrack that uses the same melody in so many ways.

I almost feel like they put *too* much effort into it. So many variations of every theme. It's incredible effort for sure. I will say some of the new stuff isn't so memorable (cutscene / partner music) but the remixes and variations on existing themes are great.

I was hoping I had a full list but I guess not. Anyway:

1) Deltarune
2) Animal Well
3) Sea of Stars
4) Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye
5) Toree 2
6) The Plucky Squire

When I saw Animal Well I knew I had to try it and it's great! Some really great mechanics and puzzles, and beautiful art style.

1) Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
2) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
3) FF7 Remake Intergrade
4) Astro Bot
5) Outer Wilds
6) Horizon Forbidden West
7) Stray
8) Return of the Obra Dinn
9) Kena: Bridge of Spirits
10) Astro's Playroom

Lots of greats. Still wrapping up clair obscur post-game actually.

I am really not an Xbox or multiplat gamer. Ended up picking just these 3, that have some closer connection to Xbox.

1) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
2) Hi-Fi Rush
3) Psychonauts 2

I highly, highly recommend all 3 of these games. Especially Expedition 33.

1) Minecraft
2) Portal 2
3) Beat Saber
4) Deltarune
5) Psychonauts 2
6) Hi-Fi Rush
7) Undertale
8) Control
9) Sea of Stars
10) World of Goo 2

This is basically the list of every PC game I've played in the last 15 years, ranked. Not much of a PC gamer. Minecraft NEEDS to be on the final list.

Some ISPs only advertise download speeds, and it's because they don't even have upload speed. Spectrum was awful at that. It wasn't until I got fiber that I actually had decent upload speeds.

Chibi-Robo. Although I'm already going to try it out soon anyway as another first timer.

Yeah it's definitely a 100% requirement. A little less clear on if it's a collectable if you define collectable as "item placed by the designers in a certain location". Either way they both come really close, great games and I had fun collecting every single one.

oh wow I tried doing this math on my own when it came out, but I couldn't find how many actual banana collectables were in the game. Supposed DK 64 records were based on if a balloon was 10 separate collectables. Not sure if music discs count since they are random drops for the most part.

1) Outer Wilds
2) Undertale
3) Celeste
4) The Messenger
5) Minecraft (pre-Microsoft, modern would be #1 but isn't indie)
6) Shovel Knight
7) Deltarune Ch 1
8) Baba Is You
9) Among Us

Wish I got into a lot more indies. Top 3, and especially Outer Wilds, are must-plays.

My game literally crashed after 10 minutes but the rest of my group got to play for like 40 minutes which is amazing. It was so buggy, it was funny watching the map and the servers shut down in front of us.
