The PS1-3 controllers were terrible.

Mario Strikers Battle League: 6/10. It can be fun but it's not as good as its predecessors.

Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia: 8/10. A solid remake f a game I never played. I wish Nintendo would finally bring the rest of the series here in NA.

Mario Kart 8 DLC: 7/10. The new tracks are hit or miss.

Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remake: 9/10. The updated Opera scene alone was an excellent moment. I still haven't finished it.

This year I honestly hadn't had enough time to play anything new.

• Panzer Dragoon Saga
• Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
• Ape Escape 1
• Bushido Blade 1 and 2
• F-Zero GX
• Eternal Darkness
• Lost Odyssey
• Xenogears
• Deus Ex
• Rogue Squadron II

• KOTOR
• Rogue Squadron II
• Episode 1: Racer

FFVI Pixel Remaster on Steam and Age of Empires 2.

In short, I didn't care for the story, I found some of the characters annoying, and blitzball was terrible but I think it had the best battle system in the entire series with some excellent boss battles.

I feel like Lost Odyssey was that next step forward from the battle system.

• Burnout 3: takedown
• Forza Horizon 4
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I wasn't impressed at all. I've come to the conclusion that Bethesda games (ES and Fallout) just aren't for me.

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.
