    Fun Fact: The Reason why Daisy was made into a playable character in Wonder was because one of the developer's daughters at home would often fight over who gets to play as Peach in 3D World. They invited her to this adventure to settle the girls' princess quarrel.
    I just think that's funny. And Cute.

      That's exactly what everyone wants from a video game. A game with no DLC, Subscriptions, a completed game, no pay to win, nothing remotely to that. It should come as a game all others should look up to, to see what can be accomplished when you don't add subscriptions, battle passes, pay to win, and all the other bullshit.

    Ok so, I know Laezel is difficult and kind of acquired taste and I understand if someone does not like her
    BUT
    In my opinion she also has the biggest character growth overall from all your companions, even outdoing Astarion to me. The sunset scene really hits in the feels after all you went through, Laezel in act 1 and Laezel in act 3 are the same person but you can really feel how much has changed if you stuck around with her.

    Tears of the Kingdom was my personal GOTY for 2023, and it was my most played game for that year too.
    Haven't gotten far into Pikmin 4 or the Mario RPG remake yet, but I'm sure they'll be good times.

      Same. Tears of the Kingdom is my GOTY, it really surpassed my expectations. I was afraid that it would be too similar to Breath of the Wild, but turns out it added enough new content to feel fresh again despite using the same world. That has greatly surprised me. In addition, it was nice to see what locations have changed and have all those Breath of the Wild flashbacks come to my mind while I played the sequel.
      I want to get Pikmin 4 in the future, but I don't know if I'll get Mario Wonder or the Super Mario RPG remake. Mario Wonder, while I'm sure that it is a great game, I've heard that it is pretty short. A friend of mine got Mario Wonder and finished it in 3 days lol. So I don't know if the amount of hours I could potentially get from the game is worth the full 60 dollars price.
      As for the Mario RPG remake, I've watched some videos about it and it looks cool, but as far as I know, they've lowered its difficulty a lot compared to the original, and they've made it a pretty easy game. That makes me doubt if the remake is worth or I would have a better time playing the original.

      Honestly while the story of Fates is terrible, the gameplay is actually pretty good and nice evolution of Awakening’s gameplay. But I will say in terms of the plot it is let down by what appears to be severe cuts to the game, the exclusion of vital plot information to be seen in paid DLC, and there is a scene where a character pulls out a one time use magic crystal ball with all the answers to give some exposition on the game.

    I’m so happy you included Bombrush Cyberfunk that was my most anticipated game of the year and as someone who loves the vibe of Jet Set I was very disappointed by its gameplay. But Bombrush Cyberfunk was everything I wanted Jet Set to be and it’s my favorite game of the year the music is 100/10

    You might already know but if you have a pre-M1 Macbook you should be able to try running Windows games by enabling experimental support in the Steam Play settings, or even just install Windows through Bootcamp. I think doing this in post-M1 Macbooks is disabled due to the architectural change but I haven't checked.

    I know it's not in the list, but man, Armored Core 6 was a BANGER. My personal game of the year, im just so glad this series is back.

    The ad before the number one spot was for Cooking Mama so I thought that was your number one pick for a moment.
