My thoughts: it's nice to see Sonic 3 and Knuckles finally have a new version or rerelease. I guess the legal stuff surrounding that game has been settled?

I could never get into Kirby besides Epic Yarn (decent but too easy). I found the games not as engaging as other 2D platformers of that era. But I hear great things about this game from people who weren't Kirby fans so I may get this.

He's still relevant.

That being said, the last game I enjoyed from him was MGS3: Subsistence. I have yet to play DS but it doesn't really appeal to me.

Honestly, it's Mario Strikers since it's been forever since the last one.

I'll do one per franchise for some variety this time:

• Tetris
• Age of Empires II
• Final Fantasy IX
• Metroid Prime
• Resident Evil 4
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
• Super Mario Galaxy 2
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Persona 5
• Devil May Cry 5

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

I guess an 8 since it is a very faithful remake and I do like the new art direction.

• Gen 3: Super Mario Bros. 3
• Gen 4: Donkey Kong Country 2
• Gen 5: Half-Life
• Gen 6: Resident Evil 4
• Gen 7: Bayonetta
• Gen 8: Control
• Gen 9: don't know yet

MGS3: Subsistence. Everything after that was either disappointing or awful.

Halo Infinite (multiplayer).

Mainly games from Steam from the holiday sale:

• Black Mesa
• Europa Universalis IV
• Deathloop
• Undertale
• Trails in the Sky
