And I’m hoping to marathon Thirsty Suitors this weekend. Coral Island has already sparked an internal crisis as I try to decide which of the fine-ass men on its island I’m gonna marry.

I’m playing Venba on my Switch, which is making me realize just how little I know about cooking, and how Doordash was probably a crutch during the pandemic when I should’ve been learning more about how to make my own food. So I’m playing catch-up before we head into GotY discussions. Because of that, I didn’t get to play a lot of the smaller games that I used to devour before I got here. Games like Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate 3 occupied much of my time this year as I wrote guides diving into all the nitty-gritty of those very dense games. It’s the nature of my job here at Kotaku to be consumed by one game for a long stretch of time.

Thirsty Suitors: PS5, PS 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, Windows (Steam Deck OK)Ĭurrent goal: Catch up on smaller games I missed Venba: PS 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Windows (Steam Deck OK) Zack Zwiezen Coral Island, Venba, and Thirsty Suitors Screenshot: Stairway GamesĬoral Island: PS 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows (Steam Deck YMMV) Stay tuned ( and follow me on Bluesky) to find out how it goes. While I know Square Enix’s latest installment in its popular RPG series isn’t universally loved by fans, I’m curious to see how it clicks with me, a person who isn’t a fan of Final Fantasy really and has only played three games in the series. But progress is progress and I’m hopeful.

I’ve knocked out a few stragglers from my 2023 list and now I’m ready to sit down and try to find time to play through more of Final Fantasy XVI. It’s the time of year when writers across video game outlets, myself included, begin cramming in as many games as they can before Game of the Year debates start.

Though I will say, it’s a bummer when you get an objective-based mode, as most teammates seem to be distracted by the return of the old maps and continuously forget to pick up the damn Oddball. I played a few hours of it last night and immediately realized this is going to be my entire weekend. The maps have gotten a facelift, but they’re otherwise exactly how you remember them-just with all the fun toys offered in Infinite’s weapon sandbox. Thanks to a collaboration with Mountain Dew, a special Halo 3 playlist is available in Infinite, and it’s a blast. Modern Warfare III may have brought back all of the maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, but Halo Infinite wasn’t going to let Activision have all the late-aughts fun.

Super Mario RPG on Switch has already pulled me back under the original’s spell, and I’m excited to see whether I eventually wake up enchanted or disillusioned. It’s comforting but alien, a reminder of where you came from and how you can never go back.

The game has lived with me ever since, making replaying the remake on Switch a strange emotional journey, like coming back to your childhood home after someone else has been living in it. It was $US20 over the allotted budget ($US100) but I think he felt bad. I ended up picking the Gold City Junction Lego set and Super Mario RPG. As an adult I now know they forgot to buy me presents (which as an adult I also get: My birthday is right after Christmas). He took me to Toys “R” Us (RIP) and let me pick out anything I wanted. My dad bought me Super Mario RPG for my birthday the year it came out.

Just don’t use your one phone call to blame me when you end up in jail.
