38. Ori and the Blind Forest
An absolutely beautiful Metroidvania. There were a couple moments that actually made me emotional, though this game is light on story. The combat was very meh but the platforming was very well designed.

37. SMT IV: Apocalypse
This is a rejected shonen anime I'm convinced. I swapped between indifference and annoyance during the story. Dagda is the best character by far, and the gameplay is some of the best in the series. Pretty bad final dungeon.

It's no surprise that the newest album by my favorite band is phenomenal. Rory Rodriguez's vocals are stellar. The tone of the songs is dark and emotional, as expected. I'm glad my months of waiting were worth it.

I have a hard time deciding if this or 2 is my favorite. Jim Carrey was the MVP playing both villains, one of which had the funniest villain death I've maybe ever seen. I also appreciate them having more references to the games in this.
