Tales of Symphonia - JRPG nostalgia. Fun game but it definitely shows its age. The story is solid and the gameplay is average. The characters are well written and get solid reactions out of me whenever they have their moments. I would recommend not interacting with the fandom if you don’t want to deal with strongly opinionated individuals who will gladly berate you for holding a differing opinion.

Thomas was Alone - Short narative focused puzzle platformer. You play a cast of quadilaterals of various sizes and colors each with their own abilities and have to use their traits in combination to get each one to their end goal in the level. Wonderful music, great narration, and it will get you to feel for a featureless rectangle, what more could you ask for?
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands - Solid game with the usual formula from Borderlands. Looter Shooter with a D&D twist, solid story and great voice acting. Ended up skipping a lot of the side quests just because they felt solely like busy work most of the time. Finished it in about 15 hours or so.
Titanfall 2 - Decided to play through the campaign as I remembered it being interesting but I never finished it. It was worth the playthrough. Solid run and gun, in fact most of the time you are able to just ignore most of the enemies and blow right past them with the satisfying movement. Story was great too. I know this is mostly a multiplayer game but the campaign on it’s own was solid.
Transistor - The ending on this one upsets me, but it is such a beautiful story that I can't bring myself to say I don't like it based on that alone. Music is so central to the game and I love anything that brings that kind of depth to it. The gameplay itself is also extremely well tuned. Honestly, this just adds to Supergiant’s reputation in my book.
