RPGs where you go around granting wishes like this or Lightning Returns are cool, and Nintendo should make a Kirby RPG with this premise.

edit: Also Mario RPG

7. Ace Attorney: Justice for All (Good ending)

good-rear end game, definitely holds up as a sequel. can completely understand why Turnabout Big Top is so infamous, and inversely, can understand why Farewell My Turnabout is so revered. onto Trials and Tribulations

Farewell my turnabout is so unbelievably good.
when he busts out the wine glass is one of the best moments in the series

i did that a few years ago and mostly ended up playing unplayed humble bundle turds [pre-sjw era bundle when you get get johnathan blows magnum opus braid + 50 other games for a dollar] and a bunch of dead 2d multiplayer shooters. why were there so many 2d online multiplayer shooters in 2013 or soemthing?

however i also played the hit pervert metroidvania "rabbi ribbi" which someone bought for me....to completion !!(cooming)!!! as well so it worked out i guess.

Cute little city-builder type game where you stack cards in combinations to make different cards. It's very short but worth the $5 if you like that sort of thing.

i picked this up after you mentioned it here and just beat it. decent game. i kept playing my save for like an hour after beating it just farming more and more carrots and making more treasure chests to hold the coins i made form selling the too many god dman carrots i had. def worth the price

It's a solid place to start. The two best R&C games are Up Your Arsenal and A Crack In Time, if you want to play more. Skip the first game for sure, skip all the ports of PSP games, and Tools of Destruction also isn't great.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: really great stories/characters and I always had fun piecing together the mysteries in the courtroom. sometimes i would get a little bored during the investigation phases and little things like the constant sound effects would get to me after awhile but not enough to take away how great the game is. the last case with gant escalated in a really interesting way, plus it dumps so much more evidence on you than the previous cases it tests you more as a good last challenge. very interested in what the 2nd game in the series will be like in terms of gameplay changes and elaborate stories. really glad i decided to try these games on a whim.

8. WADs

Dimension of the Boomed (2018, 7 maps for Doom II, UV Pistol Start, did some nosaving on the earlier maps). An absolutely fantastic recreation of quake level design with all the constraints of the doom engine, the custom texture work is awesome and the mappers did a great job making something unique from the quake inspiration. would be a 5/5 set is MAP04 wasn't a huge tedious turd that would make American McGee blush. also the hitbox on their custom scrag enemy is weird and its really easy to get stuck inside them if they float down during a ambush which was pretty frustrating. MAP03 and MAP05 are absolutely standouts. 4/5

i only ever played the first 3 phoenix wright games but they all own so hard. they all tended to have really strong final cases as i recall

Punished Chuck: Dec 27, 2010

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Pretty fun game, the combat wasn't anything special but the puzzles and exploration was pretty fun, you're constantly being rewarded for exploring and messing with things. It's constantly firing jokes at you so not all of them land but I had some really good laughs throughout too. I'll probably be playing off and on for a while to unlock more characters and ships and stuff, it seems like a good game to fire up every now and then when you want something easy to chill out with.

The Gunk

Cool aesthetic and ambiance, but the gameplay is barely above a walking sim and the story isn't strong enough to carry it. 7/10 only because it's short.

11. Loom

I feel like I've played this before but I didn't remember very much of it. It's a LucasArts point and click adventure game, but there's a gimmick where instead of the usual inventory management puzzles, you learn magic spells in the form of songs. It's very short, like 2-3 hours long, and it's quite silly. I enjoyed it.
