My goal this year is to finish off all the games I've left hanging so Pikmin is my first one on the Switch list. I've started all 4 but I'll at least complete them in order ~~eventually~~ :D

MODERATORS
Hehe. I am also planning to catch up with older series that I haven't played, like Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid etc. Pikmin is also on the list. Plan to play at least the first game, if not 1 and 2 this year.
I'm stuck at work, but I brought my deck for a little Monster Hunter Stories 3. I opted to start over rather than import the save from the demo, so I'm not very far in yet. It's such a satisfying game to play and it looks so good!
I also smashed out a little Pokopia (brought the Switch too... Security can get a little slow some nights) and did something I've been ignoring for a few days but was told today is a limited time event. I hate timed shit in games :/ It took like 20 minutes to get more than enough trade-in items to buy everything, but I still don't like being told when to play games. Oh well.
Yeah, timed events are pretty annoying, I am not a fan either. One of the reason I dropped my PS+ Extra subscription, didn't want to play games based on when they might leave the service, wanted to play them when I wanted to.
Finished Trails Beyond the Horizon!
That was one hell of an ending.
So good that it makes me move this game to the top tier of this series - but it also brings a big question of "will Falcom be able to put a worthy follow-up to this ending?".
This game also adds a ton to the worldbuilding of the series, and I'm impressed that they managed to create a twist that not only solves some of my long-standing complaints but even turns them into clever foreshadowing.
Worldbuilding discussion
Two things that always bothered me in these games were the absurdly fast pace of technological advance, and the near-prophetic abilities some people have (like the plans of the Ouroboros Grandmaster).
The time-travel and time-loop reveals fully explain this - we have both very advanced technology coming from the future, and people with memories from previous loops (Novartis is certainly one, won't be surprised if Epstein and the Grandmaster are the same) that explains their ability to predict future events.
I'm now desperately wanting the next game on the series. There's so, so many possibilities and questions going through my mind right now.
Ending and next game discussion
So, if I'm reading this correctly and the implication of the ending is that Agnès disappeared from the timeline due to her intervention with the Grand Reset.
But doesn't this completely change the timeline for the Daybreak games?
Agnès bringing Van the quest to retrieve the Geneses was the start of the first two games, so what happens in a timeline where she isn't present? Do the Geneses still exist? Does Van still somehow get all those people joining the Arkride Solutions Office?
Finally, I'm very happy we're getting more of Risette's backstory. She's been one of my favorites since the first Daybreak game, so seeing her role grow in importance is fantastic.
Finished DLC 2 for Super Robot Wars Y!
Definitely not as good as the first DLC. It lacks the strong storyline combining the new series that made the previous batch shine, and doesn't bring enough to the table to make up for that. At least while the new units are interesting individually.
One big highlight were the Koutetsu Jeeg animations, easily the best among new DLC units.
Playing Witch on the Holy Night!
With the two above done we go back to our regular programming.
Congratulations on finishing the game! So, this is now in top five of the series?
Super Robot Wars Y is also done? No more DLCs?

I'd say it's a contender for the #5 spot, but I'll need to think about it a bit more. There's a lot of competition for that slot. 🙂

Nothing announced but datamining from the PC version indicates we might get more DLCs later this year.
Trying to get through Hollow Knight still. I accidentally just got the dream nail :D
Oooh, congratulations!
