⭐= I finished the game

It’s hard for me to pick one, but if I had to narrow it down to a top three, I’d say Undertale, Voices of the Void, and… hm. I mean even picking a third is hard. Klonoa 2 is great as always, Murder of Sonic is great, Balatro is great, the Nightdive remaster for Quake 2 is transformative, Yooka-Replaylee was surprisingly enjoyable, Unleashed Recompiled was also a great surprise, and Apotris is basically my favorite way to play Tetris now.

If I had to go the opposite direction and pick a least favorite game, I’d probably say Crash Bandicoot 4. That game is exhausting in the worst ways. Competently made, great art direction, but sort of like what I complained about with Sonic Mania, just a total slog. Way too much of everything. I’d argue that Crash 4 is worse about it than Mania, too, because it’s also incredibly difficult on top of everything else. So you spend 30-45 minutes grinding out one jump in one level. And that’s not even talking about collectibles and side missions. Crash Bandicoot 4 is a game that hates you and uses that hatred specifically to waste your time. Deeply miserable.
