42. Luigi's Mansion - 7 hrs The gameplay is easy to learn. The mechanics are a ton of fun. The graphics are some of the best the GameCube has to offer. The music is top notch. Paced perfectly and is an easy recommend. I had a blast revisiting this! Remains one of my all time favorites.

I was on this and it was fucking awesome! Gen and Matt know their shit and are absolute legends!

I’m loving Control Resonant so far. I’m just so happy to be back in this world. The characters and lore are some of my favorite in gaming. The weirder it gets the happier I am.

Games is rad so far. It unfortunately doesn’t look as crisp and clean on Nintendo Switch 2 in handheld but it’s still perfectly legible and controls like a dream. It been a blast to play.

New episode today

We finally got him to do one! 😂 Ky is featured on the newest episode of Side Quests talking all about I Am Your Beast! People that are familiar with Ky, is he usually does not review games high, so if there's one he does, you should probably check it out.

40. Well Dweller - 12 hrs 42 min @kylethompsondev.bsky.social really outdid himself this time. Perfectly tuned gameplay. Incredible flow & discovery. Gorgeously designed world & characters. Beautiful score by Eric Thompson. A living folktale that I couldn't put down & was eager to 100% complete.

It’s here! Thank you again to @retrogamebooks.com for including me in this book with so many awesome writers.

39. Far Cry 3 - 13 hrs It was fine. The story was awful. The only performance worth a damn was Michael Mando as Vaas. Music was fine but mostly unmemorable except for the awful needle drops. Combat was fun most of the time. Exploration was good. Hated the stealth. This is mostly a miss for me.
