1. Super Mario OdysseySuper Mario Odysseyhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Super_Mario_OdysseyOpens wiki page

This was my pick for Game of the Year. It makes me so happy, and reminds me of playing Super Mario 64 in 1997. I'm nowhere near finished with it yet, even though I've put down quite a few hours into it.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Breath_of_the_WildOpens wiki page

Is it bad that my favorite aspect of the game is cooking? Don't get me wrong, I love the rest of the game too, but the cooking is a lot of fun.

3. Final Fantasy XIV: StormbloodFinal Fantasy XIV: Stormbloodhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Final_Fantasy_XIV_StormbloodOpens wiki page

Wasn't a huge fan of the writing for this one, but I did love the new zones and dungeons.

4. Thimbleweed ParkThimbleweed Parkhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Thimbleweed_ParkOpens wiki page

"Are you a victim of the inferior American support system?" A point-and-click in the same vein as the Lucasarts Monkey Island games, Thimbleweed is hilarious and challenging. You can read my impressions on it over on Gameluv.com.

This game has a stellar soundtrack, but that's to be expected from Supergiant. What I didn't expect was the gameplay, or just how many characters you can unlock through it. Very cool.

This is only my second Style Savvy game, but I really like it so far.

THEY ATE HIS KID? Oh my god.

Cute, charming, more Story of Seasons.

This is way better than it has any business being.

A lot better than I thought it was going to be.
