I played it before the map update, it was soooo hard to travel around

I did too, but I found that to actually be a fun strength, as the levels were *just* small enough for me to memorize - I think the map is a great accessibility feature, but I do believe the game worked without!

Lies of P: as a known hater of soulslikes (I kid, but also not), I adored Lies of P. Make of that what you will, but I found that I clicked with its aesthetics and combat mechanics, most notably the parry timing (whereas Sekiro confounds me to this day). YMMV.

I played Star Ocean 2 for the first time through this remake, and while I think it's a messy game overall, it's also super endearing and I think it'd have made a great impression on my design senses had I played it younger.

The Gunk wasn't my most impactful experience, nor one I would typically associate with its devs, but I still resonated with its Metroid Prime-esque scanning, cool protagonist pair and light ecologist tale.

So: I *adore* the Megaman Zero series. Nothing comes close to its blend of action/exploration/platforming/aesthetics for me. Except maybe one did? Again not as impactful to me now, but my younger self would've had their mind blown by Gravity Circuit. That OST!

Speaking of topical, important titles: it's definitely not a *fun* time, but sexual assault is an important theme to cover, especially when done mindfully and meaningfully, and I thought Me and my Witches did.

A delicious slightly comedic/horrific snack with gorgeous environments and funny dialog and choices, I was delighted by Beacon Pines and surprised I don't hear about it more often. Sadly how it goes with the amount of titles out there as this list shows.
