Digimon Story: Time Stranger (PS5) Cyber Sleuth had such an incredible hook and strong audiovisual identity that could be felt in every aspect. Time Stranger doesn't quite have that, but it makes up for it in so many ways, and is overall a huge step up in quality. I can't wait to play the next one.

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (Wii U) This game goes all-in on storytelling and dilutes the Metroidvania experience quite a lot. That's okay IMO; it means the 3 games all offer something different. I honestly love all the little motion gimmicks, they really enhance the immersion. Glad I played on Wii.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5) I promised I'd play this if it won GOTY, so I did. It's incredibly good, with a transcendent OST and fantastic story. It's got all the usual parrying BS (fake-outs & feints) but the game ends just before it hits a breaking point. Gustave is such a lovable goofball.
