Catherine O'Hara amusingly staring at John Candy as he plays clarinet in Home Alone.
I know people love to deservedly praise John Candy's improvisation in HOME ALONE, but Catherine O'Hara is equally amazing. She's rolling with all of his choices and is deep within his emotionality and frivolity, responding to him with equal ease. It's stellar acting work by her.

Nice! Do you use Notion to log ideas? I've looked long and hard for good tools to collate stuff.

Don't sleep on Sonic Racing: Crossworlds...
I think I've enjoyed it more than Mario Kart World!
It feels engaging due to the chaos, challenge, and customisation. Positional management is interesting because it awards bonus points during the final GP race and selects a persistent rival throughout.
Nothing that a retrobright bath can't fix!

Words I live by
Honourable mentions for the following:
- Morse
- Rematch
- Sword of the Sea
- Occlude
- Trash Goblin
- Despelote
- Deliver At All Costs
- Morsels
- The Precinct
- Baby Steps
Plenty of high profile titles didn't make the cut due to an abundance of choice and lack of investment.
And whilst Promise Mascot Agency just missed out on the podium, I was absolutely captivated by it throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed it @kaizengameworks.com

Yeah, I had the same thing - was surprised a few notable franchises or recent releases weren't on there

I'm the opposite!
After Promise Mascot Agency, I'm tempted to take a look at Paradise Killer next.
It is hilarious, hats off to the team!
It's on the cusp of being in my top 3 games of this year. Keep up the great work, such a joy to play ๐ธ
This would be the dream!
Golf Story was the best game I played this year, released in a prior year; that's basically GBA adjacent on Switch.
