August 2025
Cult of the Lamb	Struggled to get into it. Wasn't a big fan of the campsite building mechanic. Might try again another time.
Dragon's Trap	Played it again, this time on Switch. What a fantastic game. The slide-stab mechanic in this game is so perfect.
July 2025
Haak	Very solid metroidvania.
February 2025
Super Mario Wonder	I was excited for it but it's just Super Mario. Same game I've played a dozen times but with better visuals.
January 2025
Echoes of Wisdom	Zelda Zelda game. It's a bit slow and clumsy but has plenty of satisfying puzzle elements.
January 2024
Haak	Seems like a tight little Metroidvania.
November 2023
Moonlighter	I've returned to this game to give it a better try. It's okay. Still trying to find my groove.
August 2023
Pikmin 4	It's more of the same but lacks the tone of the first melancholic masterpiece.
July 2023
Metroid Prime	The remaster looks great but has old design sensibilities meaning lots of backtracking and not knowing where to go.
May 2023
Tears of the Kingdom	All the joy of playing BotW again but with new interesting discoveries to be made.
April 2023
Steamworld Dig 2	Very solid metroidvania with a big of a slow start.
Hades	I've been playing this almost constantly for over a year. I've claimed every single reward that's possible. It's probably time for me to put it on the shelf for a while.
January 2023
Stranded Deep	Not very pleasant controls. Feels half finished. Needs plenty of time to get into I suspect.
October 2022
Sonic 2	Nostalgia city
Borderlands 2	Not a huge amount of depth but I LOVE that I aim using the motion controls.
September 2022
The Messenger	What started out as a fairly basic platformer took some very interesting turns as I progressed.
Feudal Alloy	Tricky metroidvania to get into but satisfying to master.
Bioshock - Under the Sea 2	Stealth game. Totally different feel. Annoying but fun.
Bioshock - Under the Sea 1	Hard. Sometimes annoying and a bit buggy. Still fun.
Bioshock - Minerva's Den	Fun. Fast. Made me enjoy taking over machines.
Bioshock Infinite	A much more fun game the second time round now that I'm better at shooting.
August 2022
Bioshock 2	I've not played this before. It really mixes up the gameplay and refines it. I'm quite impressed.
Bioshock	Such a classic game. I played the crap out of this when I was younger.
Shredder's Revenge	Feels like a game that would be worth getting good at. Not sure I have the attention span.
June 2022
Super Meat Boy	Challenging platformer. Feels satisfying to make progress.
Bastion	Precursor to Hades. Kind of slow and awkward. But pretty.
May 2022
Tony Hawk 1+2	Really well made remake. Great fun to revisit this genre.
Hades	I finished pretty much everything that could be finished. Amazing game.
Tony Hawk 1+2	It feels like picking up a guitar. The muscle memory half kicks back in. But only half. So much nostalgic fun.
The Long Journey Home	Looks like there might be fun story things here but I have no patience for the clunky gameplay.
April 2022
Hades	Requiring reassuring media. It's not surprising I've fallen back into this.
March 2022
Tetris 99	It's Tetris
Astroneer	Quite cumbersome on Switch but zen like enough to while away some time.
January 2022
Death's Door	Tough iso fighter. I kind of drifted off after a while.
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze	Same old Donkey Kong Country. Pleasant to while away time.
December 2021
A Monster's Journey	I finished this off. Hard but satisfying puzzles.
Hades	Can't stop. Won't stop.
November 2021
Sunless Sea	Revisiting a Roguelike that I originally bounced off to see if I've changed.
October 2021
Luigi's Mansion 3	Well produced but the novelty of the series is wearing a bit thin.
September 2021
Hades	It's official. I'm addicted. I've been ignoring everything else while I play the crap out of this.
August 2021
Axiom Verge 2	I loved the original and the sequel didn't quite hit the same heights. I was surprised how quickly it ended and how easy it was.
Monster's Expedition	I had high expectations and it's just a very well put together puzzle game.
Hades	Not usually a fan of Roguelikes but this one is pretty fun to play.
July 2021
Breath of the Wild	Second time playing. Such an exceptional game.
May 2021
Monster Boy	Really great Metroidvania based on possibly my favourite game.
April 2021
Cosy Grove	Very zen-like game about collecting twigs and seashells. It's nice to not be challenged for a bit.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle	UFO clone. Mildly fun but it's not capturing me.
Shovel Knight	Well made platformer. Just frustrating enough to be a good challenge.
March 2021
The Touryst	Lovely little puzzle exploration game with great voxelart.
February 2021
Minecraft	The Switch version is currently awkward to play and buggy to run. Absolutely would not recommend.
January 2021
Mario Kart 8	Playing a vs. video game with my wife. That hasn't happened since Wii sports.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe	There's something so zen-like about these games. So nice to revisit the universe.
September 2020
Baba is You	This game hurts my brain. It feels a lot like coding.
