Here is my list as I wrap up the Endwalker Patch content. Things might level up slightly. I plan on trying to finish the alliance raids and regular raid series for each expansion before I continue.

#3, Super Mario Bros 2
This is my first time finishing this game! I played the SNES All Stars version. Very interesting game. Its very strange to me how puzzle-like the level design really was in this game. Also, not difficult at all until I hit world 5. Thanks NSO Rewind feature!

#2, Pokemon Legends ZA: Mega Dimension
Revisiting Pokemon ZA for this DLC was fun, but man, this DLC didnt really do it for me. Im not a fan of how grindy it feels. The new Pokemon added and new Megas do bring it up for me though. I will come back later this year to 100% this.

I felt pretty let down with the amount of games and projects I finished last year. I want to make this year different, so I started with something quick and easy to start my year off with before I get back into the projects I started in 2025. This game is a wonderful classic!

Hello everyone! This is my gaming thread for the year of 2026! Everytime I beat a new game, DLC pack, or expansion, I will make a small post detailing my thoughts on the experience! There may be repeats as the year goes on. Thank you and please enjoy the ride with me! 🥳

Rough day at work today. Needed a nice drink to unwind. Enjoyed some nice whiskey and Final Fantasy 14. Thinking about what I'm gonna make for dinner and what to play next now. Feeling fantastic and enjoying my evening! Tomorrow is MtG night with the boys! Can't wait!

#9, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition
The game took so long for me to finish. It took awhile for it to get its hooks in me, but in the end I ended up really loving my experience with this game. Im now officially finished with all Xenoblade games! Still got Gears and Saga to go!

Oh boy, this was a doozey. I loved this game, I can see why so many love it, but damn this is the most flawed FF I've played to date unfortunately. So much great, so many perfect things about this game, but it falls flat so many places. This game needs remade more than any other.

This game was a huge surprise! Seriously, I didn't expect much of this, and this game really blew me away! The story was amazing, the combat and customization was top tier, overall just a phenomenal experience across the board! For those who come after!

#6, Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker
Wow. It's hard to say how I feel after almost 600 hours of gameplay and reaching the conclusion of the main story. It doesn't feel real. FF14 is a masterpiece, man. One of my favorite video games of all time easily.

#5, Shadowbringers Post Game/Patch Content
Shadowbringers has become my favorite Final Fantasy experience. I spent so much time during the patch content leveling jobs, and of course I just didn't want it to end. Onward to Endwalker!

This is such a comfort game for me. I try and replay it a couple times a year. I've got my run down to 12 days easy. I'm so close to cutting 2 more days, but it's so hard when I have such a detailed route in my head of how to play. All in all, one of my favorite games of all time.

Im a massive Pikmin fan, but this is only the 2nd playthrough I've done for 2. I do love this game, but it's my least favorite Pikmin game. The random elements and cave designs take so much away from the rest of this magnificent game. Still, really enjoyed the replay.

I opened over 40 packs and this and a regular Palkia EX are my only EXs. Mega bummed.

The "Who Are You?" Compagin was so legendary to me as a kid. This was my GBA SP but the words faded so long ago it just looks like a regular black model now.

This game was great. I understand the issues with extra stuff not in the game, like the movie and animated shorts, but I still loved this game. It felt super ambitious. What can I say? You guys are the best.

#1, Final Fantasy 14 Shadowbringers
FF14 really just gets better with every expansion. Shadowbringers is far and away my favorite so far, and it's gonna be hard to top this. The story and characters really sold this expansion for me. Emet-Selch may be the greatest FF villian ever. Masterpiece.

This is my biggest issue with FF14. There are just boss battles you can't do alone or with NPCs. You have to wait for real players, which can completely take the seriousness out of the events. I'm near the end of Shadowbringers. I gotta wait for 7 other people to do this fight.

All of DQ3's original charm wrapped up in the beautiful HD 2D bow. I loved my time with this game. Going through the post game was absolutely not worth it though. Overall, a wonderful experience and I can't wait for HD 2D DQ 1&2!

I know it's nothing fancy, but Tauros and Vaporeon are both insanely good cards I'm excited to test out!
