Satisfactory - Fantastic automation building game. Played through with a friend and the save file still took just over 130 hours. Some of that was because we were playing without guides, some was because we took on a couple of overly ambitious projects. It has solid music and balance design as well as a bit of humorous dialogue whenever you complete certain tasks. Highly recommend.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - Best sword play I have experienced in a game, and to think I almost quit it forever on the first day. Some of the most amazing bossfights in any game.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Tactical RPG has some of my favorite characters ever. Glory in particular left a huge impression on me for her story line.

Skies of Arcadia - Specifically played the Gamecube version, Legends. The game is simply amazing. I love the writing of the story. The music was phenomenal. The character designs on point. And the combat was actually interesting.
Sniper Elite V2 - Sniper game with gratuitous bullet cams and x-ray shots of the destruction. It’s just some good fun for fans of shooters.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy - Great nostalgia trip, simple collectathon game, not terribly difficult. Only issue I have with having played it on stream is there wasn't really a whole lot for commentary or riffing on the game.
The Stanley Parable - Sarcasm and dry wit are the staple of this game, mix in a little of the unexpected and pop culture references and you are in for a treat. Edit: Played the Ultra Deluxe version and that is the vod that is currently up.
Ultra Deluxe - Adds quite a bit of content though the jokes were not quite as strong as the base game was. The jokes also mostly revolved around a bucket so there was a bit of beating a dead horse feel. That said, this version did open up some other things that you can do and it was a good excuse to revisit an old favorite.
Stray - Cute Cat Game. Well designed, and played well. The characters were quirky and it was easy to get invested. Fairly short, finished in one stream and that was with some goofing around. Really worth it's price point but not something I would call a "Must play".
Subnautica - Excellent crafting survival game, light on story but solid on gameplay cycle. read your data entries to know where you are going and you will do realatively fine. it also felt like it respected my time. Solid music. Great moments when leviathans are involved.
Subnautica: Belo Zero - I really liked the first Subnautica, Below Zero just improved everything. Lot more breadcrumbs left lying around to point you in the right direction to progress and more of a solid story to interact with. Still has the same feel to the ocean and the Leviathan AI even seems to interact with you more.
Super Mario 64 - The classic. Unfortunately it has not exactly aged well and the controls and camera are the biggest culprits for my lack of enjoyment. I am unsure if those issues are a result of the version I used being essentially an N64 emulator on the Switch, but it did give us many games that were based off of it and it is definitely worth the struggle to experience at least once. I do seem to remember the game being more enjoyable on original hardware so if you can get ahold of it that way, it might be worth the play.

Super Mario Galaxy - Solid 3d platformer. Great music. Fun level designs. The navigation is a little unusual since everything is relative to the camera regardless of gravitational orientation, so I would not recommend this for people who are prone to motion sickness or already have issues with normal 3d controls. Defnitely worth the play and a lot more forgiving than the other games on the Switch collection I played it on.
Super Mario Sunshine - Game Cube classic. The controls are a little wonky on the Switch but the game is pretty straight forward. The music as always is fun and the character designs are charming. if you are not playing a completionist run then just play the levels until you face evil Mario in each one and you can finish the game.
