pretty nice to see a longer list, there are a lot of games in there i haven't even heard of. great year for games overall finally, after covid threw a wrench in all things.
i don't have much gaming time these days but i did manage to finish ff xvi which placed pretty highly. i really enjoyed it. finally starting to play an hour or two of tears of the kingdom each week and it is unsurprisingly fantastic.
