15.) Dicey Dungeons

I never completed this on Switch but on Android I find myself redeemed. It was an incredible time beating all the different rounds and that finale was truly grueling. Beat it by the skin of my teeth but I came out victorious.

14.) Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

Not my favorite in the series but still a very good game I sunk about 50 hours into thus far. Metroid comes out tomorrow but I would still like to 100% this the best I can this winter.

Just beat Biolab Disaster on PC. Super short platformer that is a quick gaming fix. I actually played through it twice.

13.) Luigi's Mansion

I probably haven't played and beaten this in the last twenty years. However I found all the boos, rolled credits, and was surprised to see just how well this game holds up today. A definite classic.

The long development cycle really had me sour on hype for this at the start of the year. How foolish do I feel that this ended up being one of the most amazing games I've ever played? Quite foolish.

11.) Neva

After a long anticipation and an even longer wait for the physical release, Neva is finally completed. Beautiful visuals and music... Fun puzzle platforming and combat... And a story more emotional than most indie games. Recommended.

I've followed Mark Brown for years on YouTube. After he created his first game I hoped it would come to Switch. It did and I played.

A short but sweet puzzle experience, this was a fun time. I was left wanting more but still satisfied with my time.

What a mighty fun time this was. I'm excited to do the post game cleanup as well. I never would have imagined that Nintendo would have vastly improved upon a 3D Donkey Kong. I didn't know they cared. I love this game!!

Definitely one of the best Monkey Ball games in a long while, I had a lot of fun with the main campaign. Seems weird to make half the game set as bonus content, but ah well. Moving on!

I completed the main game after never finishing on Wii U. Some fun was had. Skell flying is great. For me though, this is the worst Xenoblade. Still good but I'm not going to miss it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I had a really good 31-hours with this DLC. I thought it was a fun take for the series and a worthwhile reason to dive back into this world. Pretty on par with the other DLC campaigns.

This game is stunning and I must not ignore it when 2025's top games list is produced. So much fun, surprise, excitement, and platforming excellence. Thank you to @eponaeatscarrots.bsky.social for the perfect Christmas gift last year!!!

4.) Banana

I discovered this Japan-only Famicom game back in college. I remember being addicted. Couldn't remember if I had beaten it though. I have now but with liberal save states and wiki hints. This game is HARD! You need a notepad on some levels. 1986...

My wife has wanted me to play one of these for ages. It was finally time. I had a good time. A few quirks in the gameplay were surprising but overall the stealth and main story was good fun. Nice to explore Egypt.

I love this game. It's music, graphics, etc. I play all 96-exits of it every few years. Each stage is muscle memory at this point, but I still have such fun. Does that last screenshot bring you anxiety? I think it's Tubular!

I've never played Uncharted so I don't know the similarities, but I really liked this game! Very cinematic even outside of cutscenes. I loved searching for loot and taking down Nazis! Fuck 'em!
