i dunno what the hell happened but that neco arc got a ton of attention while I was playing xenoblade 3 all day so please enjoy the same drawing but this time it's Eunie.

I just finished chapter 5 in the game and that game continues to be the GOTY 2022, absolutely incredible.

(P.S. I didnt really want to make a separate post but asks are open for me if you'd like to ask me something or whatever)

Please hit the read more to see my thoughts about each game!

Favorite game of the year: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (PLEASE BE COOL, I'M ONLY IN CHAPTER 5 NO SPOILERS)

I haven't even finished the game yet and i absolutely love it enough that I know it's my favorite of the year. I'm a bit sad I didn't actually finish it but I'm more happy to not have rushed through it for whatever arbitrary end of year thing. One thing I'll never get over with this game is that you spend the whole game with a cast of six main characters and they are all great, I love all of these dorks. On top of that a big reason why I'm still only in chapter 5 after like 70 or so hours in is I just cannot NOT do all the side quests and see all of those side stories completed. Something that I really liked in XB2 and even more in Torna was how much value I felt came out of doing the side quests in either gameplay rewards, story, or both. I'm going to finish this game some day (XB2 took me literal years to finish and I'm so glad I did) but I'm probably just going to have to take my time with it and enjoy the ride.

A game I entirely tried based on how cool it looked, not expecting to like it since I thought I was just done with the survival horror genre. I was completely surprised by how much I enjoyed the game, losing myself in the incredible visuals and vibes from it.

It's incredible to me that this is the first fully 3d Kirby game because of how well it nails it. All the abilities translated really well and new ones like spike are my new all time favorite.

Over this past week I got to reexperience the game through seeing my nephews play the game in coop and just absolutely love it. My nephew lost his shit over seeing giant sword Kirby for the first time (he was right to do this, it fucking owns.)

Hey, shout out to my raid group for both putting up with me and for getting me to see some of the coolest stuff this game has to offer. Its my second most played steam game now for a reason and it’s because of them.

Witch Queen also added a really good campaign mode that on legendary was a blast to struggle and think my way through, this game’s always at it’s best when you’re using every tool you got to work your way out of tough situations.

This game is mainly just just More Splatoon, and I am still entirely very cool with that.

This one has Big Man in it. Look at him, its Big Man.
