26.) Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Today I beat my third favorite game of the year. I need to go 100% it in the coming days but the basic ride was a lot of fun and so beautiful! Nintendo really made a great experience with this one.

25.) Picross S5

As we race towards the end of the year another Picross game is 100% completed. I've been behind on these, in part due to other puzzle games, but it's great to make progress to catch up. Solid as ever.

24.) SteamWorld Build

It had some rocky parts but when I finally worked things out, I had a lot of fun. This is a 3D SteamWorld Dig with a city builder on top. It felt refreshing in my playlist this year.

23.) Piczle Lines 2: Into The Puzzleverse

Two days back I 100%ed the next in this series. A good time with fun solutions. I appreciated the reduction of huge puzzles. Worth playing for Picross fans wanting something different.

22.) A Plague Tale: Requiem

In this slightly harder sequel I found that the story was more than compelling enough to overcome any significant challenges. Crossbow upgrades really clinched it. Fantastic experience.

21.) The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

This Halloween season I thought I'd play something out of my usual comfort zone, both from a thematic and gameplay perspective. I had a good time overall. Genuine spooky fun.

20.) Pikmin 2

It's the worst game in a great series. So by that I mean it's still a pretty good game overall. It just screws with you and makes some poor decisions that were rectified in later entries. Growing pains.
