I've been considering for a while to post here about games i played last year, just like juner posted
now it's the 48th of january so i think I'm going to post. i dont remember much of what i did last year because that was a year ago but i've been able to pick out some of the more significant games i've played
Super Hydorah - plus version of a game called Hydorah. it's a scrolling shooter. I played the original on the computer some years ago and got good enough to the point where i could consistently single-cc the game. now i suck at it. maybe i'm used to a keyboard and cant do scrolly shooty things on a switch joycon. ill have to try again at some point and see some more of the new levels that were added. would highly recommend the original game its free and its fun (link is to the super version a
https://www.locomalito.com/super_hydorah.phpMemoirs of Magic - technically a gzdoom wad but its so elaborate i'd consider it to be separate. its an fps with a cute aesthetic. it has cute characters and it feels so good to run around and shoot things. it's very very hard.
https://strawberryoctii.itch.io/memoirs-of-magicSulphur Nimbus: Hel's Eilixer - i think sum1 made a post to announce this game's release. it is a 3d fly-y platformer-y game. the flying mechanics are realistic and very fleshed out. flying in this game feels very fun and fluid, as does the rest of the game.

http://wolfpupy.com/pupyworld/Mindustry - open ended sandbox tower defence type video game. automate the production of high level resources and defend your base from a continuous onslaught of enemies. it's quite fun to play. however, the community is kinda toxic! i'd advise against public multiplayer in this game. the game itself is very cool though. i made a mod for it, i think. the game constantly updates so i wonder if its json api has changed since, preventing it from working.
https://anuke.itch.io/mindustryBlacksea Odyssey - got this one on switch. i guess it's a roguelike? you play as a funny man riding on a space surfboard in space and you throw spears at giant space monsters and use a space harpoon to rip off their space body parts. it is very cool game but starting a run is a bit painful, since you always start off crazy weak and need to collect upgrades to have any hope of surviving later levels. after that, however, the game is very fun for play. i'd recommend getting not getting this on switch. probably pc or something because i cannot for the life of me aim spears and harpoons with a stick.
