I first started doing these recaps (back in...oh gosh, what, 2013?? 
) because I got to the end of the year and had no idea what games I'd played that year. As for Lake, my wife played through that game last year and quite enjoyed it! Just a relaxing game to unwind with.
Trying to justify that added Expansion cost, eh? 
Sounds like the game was ahead of its time. Why, most games wouldn't throw out color in favor of gray till the Xbox 360 days!
But it sounds fine. Not a classic but not essential to play either.
Well, life first, I guess. I hope you'll have some free time soon!
Yeah, since I'm counting the two Great Ace Attorney games separately, I didn't start the second one right away. I knew I couldn't finish it before the end of the year, especially with Dread to play. I'll get back to it soon!
Oh, about that 
I'm counting the two Great Ace Attorney games separately. I knew I couldn't finish the second one before the new year, so I held off on it. I hope to start that very soon.
When I saw your blog title, I couldn't think of anything in particular I was excited about but you've reminded of several things. The new Turtles game, new Kirby. Sea of Stars looks really cool. My oldest son would probably love that Pacman Museum game! He's real into game history.
I watched a review of Cris Tales which said the game was 50 hours long and I knew I couldn't do that, but then I checked How Long to Beat and the average playtime is actually 20 hours. I can put up with 20 hours of a sloggy battle system for a gorgeous game with a good story. Now, when will I play it? ...Later?
Glad you were able to get the really nice model. I bet that screen looks so good!
I definitely wanna try Cyber Shadow. I need to get that on my Switch wishlist so I don't forget. It cracks me up, though, that someone would name their game "The Gunk" lol.
I'm not surprised at your GotY choice, Cary. I'm still slowly working through it myself. I'll finish it eventually! I'm glad to see Ys IX get some recongnition though. I've had Ys VIII loaded on my Switch for at least a year now. Maybe 2022 will be the year I get to it.
If you wanna start a petition for Kirby Picross, I'll gladly sign it!
