The Kirby Series is a franchise near and dear to my heart. Kirby Super Star Ultra was the first game that really got me interested in games, and the series has never left my heart since. If the 3ds was still a supported console, my reccomendation for where to start would easily be Planet Robobot, but since that's not the case, I'd also like to shout out Forgotten Land for switch. It's a bit of a change of pace for the franchise, but its a fantastic game all the same. Wanya!
Bloons TD6 is the latest evolution of the coolmathgames classic and I am. Very slightly obsessed with it. It's a game that seems, on the face of it, really easy to get and play, but there's an absurd amount of intricacies and strategies to Bloons. It's kinda hard to articulate why I like the series so much without getting Really Into It, and I might do that at some point, but the series by itself is Good Fun.
Disco Elysium fundamentally changed a lot of my thoughts on life. It's the kind of game that's best experienced blind, even the name of the player character is technically a spoiler, but just know it's a game about identity in trying times and that's somethign that resonates with me very strongly.
Later Alligator is a really cute game that's entirely hand animated. That's the end of the review go play it its good.
Wasteland 3 and Fallout New Vegas share a spot on the list because I like them both for mostly the same reason: they are prime examples of what a AA Rpg can and should be. There's meaningful character expression and roleplay set against a complex political situation the player character must manuever to their benefit. You might have played New Vegas already, but if you haven't played Wasteland 3, you owe it to yourself to do so.
Omori is another tough one to talk about because a lot of what makes the game special involves spoiling the game's most captivating twists. Play it as blind as you can and have a good time.
