Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (Switch)
FINALLY got around to this and damn this is good. I had a bit more difficulty with this than the mainline games, but I think I was just rusty. I WILL do Investigations 2 soon.
Also, holy shit that ambassador is more annoying than Von Karma!

Pokemon Scarlet - The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC (Switch 2)
Like Sw/Sh, surprisingly good for a DLC, though I think the Switch 2 upgrade did most of the heavy lifting here. I loved Carmine and Kieran as characters and the new Pokemon are good all around. ZA's right around the corner!

Destiny 2 - The Edge of Fate (PC)
The narrative was surprisingly good. Everything else... eeeeeehhhhhhhhhh. Probably waiting till Renegades at this point.
(tbh I liked the 200-400 grind in the Portal. I felt more engaged in that than anything in the past 4 years. But 400+ is such a buzzkill)

My Hero Academia Vigilantes (Season 1)
Surprisingly very good? Loved the slight style change and the story was pretty decent, though nothing groundbreaking. Fights were well done imo. Hopefully S2 will be even better. Unlike regular MHA, I'm not following the manga, so I'll be blind for the anime.

Zelda BoTW Switch 2 Edition
Figured I'd put this here since it is technically new. Absolutely loved playing this game again at 60 fps. Literally made it feel like playing it in 2017 again. Ended up doing all shrines on a master mode playthrough for what it's worth.

Yakuza 0 - Director's Cut
Why did they add the cutscenes that mess with the story. They feel so out of place. It's like they tried to make this the "Definitive Version" of the story but did it the complete wrong way. This is still a great game though, and I recommend it to all.

Mario Kart World (Switch 2)
A fun Mario Kart. I love the concept of intermission tracks (is that what they're called?), but it does make some races feel a bit boring. The open world is cool, but feels like there's not too much to do in it. Everything else is good though. The new tricks are sick.

Celeste (PC)
As someone who isn't the biggest Metroidvania/ 2D Platformer fan, I enjoyed this. Movement feels good and the story gives a message that hits close to home. I beat all Bs but didn't complete Cs or chapter 9. Those are a little too much for me, but maybe I'll come back to it one day.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PC)
Basically more Yakuza 7 gameplay wise, and that's not a bad thing! Feels like how TotK is to BotW. Was not expecting Kiryu to be more important than Ichiban in the story. Would definitely recommend to any RPG fan (but play 7 first). Now I just need to play 1-6...

Xenoblade Chronicles X DE (Switch)
My first time beating this! Story was fine, but it was the exploration that was the main focus. Loved flying around in a Skell listening to Don't worry! Overdrive is so much fun once you learn it. It does struggle a bit on Switch 1 though, hope it gets a 2 upgrade

Final Fantasy X (PC)
It was good overall, although I hated the middle section. Want to do a complete 100% playthrough later, because I know I missed so much. Didn't care for the Sphere Grid though. It's not bad, but I didn't feel like I knew what I was doing with it beyond the basic paths.

Borderlands 3 (Steam)
Finally got around to finishing this. It was fine. I have no idea how the community for this series feels, but I still think I like 2 more. Will probably pick up 4 when it comes out.

This is a good watch overall. I see why people like this so much! Might be a hot take, but the first half was a little slow for me. The later half got me hooked. Episode 7 especially. I will definitely watch season 2 whenever it comes out.

Shadow Generations (PC)
Pretty good overall. Got all collectables and all stages with rank S. A little challenging (to get some S's) since I don't play Sonic that much. The tie-ins to make it all "canon" were a little bs in my opinion. The abilities of Shadow are fun, especially Doom Wing.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
I really enjoyed this! Loved playing as Zelda and using the echoes (shoutouts to Old Bed and Cloud). Story was better than I expected too. Something like this makes me excited for the next unique Zelda game, as I bet the devs have many ideas for the future!

Destiny Rising Alpha - (PC Emulator)
I hate how much I loved this. So many things that we want for D2 are in this. Weapons, progression, and characters feel great. As long as the gatcha stuff is not too bad (my luck hasn't been too great so far), I'll be playing this regularly.

Final Fantasy XVI (PC)
Very much enjoyed my time with this. Great gameplay, an enjoyable cast, and a good story (even if it does have some major pacing issues). Although, running it on high settings was surprisingly challenging on a 4070ti and 7900 X3D. Can't imagine running it on an older set up.

This is a much bigger difference than I remember. I do like DE's more, but something about it seems uncanny to me. Might just be me looking into it too deeply.
