Absolutely brutal game, but damn if it isn't nostalgic. Kind of hard to call it "fun," per se. I don't think I made it much farther than the underwater bomb defuse as a kid, but thanks to the "Cowabunga Collection" and the rewind feature, I finally beat this game. The music is still infectious.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
This game really nailed the force-user fantasy and gave you pretty much anything you'd want from being able to pretend to be a Jedi. I would almost dock it one star for the Star Destroyer sequence, which was frustratingly difficult.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Quite possibly the pinnacle of SNES platform gaming. From the mechanics to level design to music, it doesn't get much better or more nostalgic than this. Brb, firing up the SNES Mini.

Cyberpunk 2077
While widely panned for its bugs when it first came out, the game shined on Stadia and I had minimal problems. It's a gloriously immersive world, only made better by recent patches, and just plain fun to play in. Docking one star mostly because the main story campaign was too short. CDPR was criticized for the length of the Witcher 3 campaign and decided to go completely in the opposite direction.

Mario Kart 64
My first exposure to Mario Kart, and it definitely holds a place in my heart. I loved sitting around the N64 racing or battling friends.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Just as addictive as Castelvania: Symphony of the Night, but a modern take. It's not as expansive, unique or sprawling as its spiritual inspiration, but after playing SOTN for the 29th time, this scratches that same itch in a novel way.

Disco Elysium
I bought this because my wife was out of town for the weekend and I wanted something new to occupy my time. I played it for 15 minutes and then put it down.

Two weeks later I gave it another shot, and I wasn't able to stop playing since. It's intensely atmospheric and deep without feeling like you need to read dozens of lore cards to understand what's going on. The voice acting and characterization is quirky and unique in the best way possible. For a game with virtually no action, it keeps you gripped. And Revachol will never leave you.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Takes everything that makes "Turtles in Time" great and then polishes it up so that it really shines. It feels nostalgic and comfortable, but new enough to want to play over and over again. Tons of nods to the original and fun easter eggs. Can't wait to do couch co-op with my brothers like in the old days. Amazing that they got the original voice cast (minus James Avery, RIP Uncle Phil) back for the game.
