Unlike Hyrule Warriors, it looks like I could actually finish this game&#8217;s secondary mode as well. But we will just have to see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yono and the Celestial Elephants<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; It was a cute ride that I was able to conclude in an extended afternoon. Lots of existential monologues made it stand out from other Zelda-esqes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Star Fox<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; For all the time I&#8217;ve put into this game, apparently I&#8217;ve only ever played the Easy path. Because when I did a Normal run, every stage after Corneria was new to me!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donkey Kong Country<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; Rolled from start to finish in a single sitting.\u00a0I didn&#8217;t literally\u00a0roll the whole way, though.

It&#8217;s no Frog Fractions, but it does a nice job of twisting into something else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deep Space Waifu<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; A unique and interesting shoot-&#8217;em-up. Unfortunately, its\u00a0defining mechanic is built around shooting the clothes off of giant anime girl stereotypes.

In this run, it stood up to and defeated Whitney&#8217;s Miltank when the rest of my team couldn&#8217;t hack it.

Though I admit I&#8217;m a little sad that it&#8217;s quite a bit harder on two-player mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hollow Knight<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; We picked this back up to take a break from the soul-crushing difficulty of Cuphead. Folks who have played this can surely appreciate the irony in that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skyrim<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; There were a thousand reasons for me not to buy Skyrim again, especially a version that could go anywhere with me. But here we are!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Bought it for 50% off, and concluded that I am unable to enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog.
