Cavern of Dreams
An amazing indie N64 styled collectathon platformer. This short and sweet game is one of my favourite indie titles. It does the style well without feeling blasé at all, and has a very cute story. I actually watched this game get developed over on tumblr, where the dev posted updates as they worked, and I wanted it so badly. The second I saw it release I bought it asap, and it was 100% worth it! This was a very enjoyable game to revisit for a Let's Play, even despite me having a few technical difficulties throughout the series. It was just as fun the second time around as it was the first!
Sonic Adventure
This game was the first game I have ever let's played in my life, back on an old channel from before I was a Vtuber. This was a very nostalgic Let's Play for that reason! I love this game a lot, the Sonic Adventure series is one of my fave game series of all time, so I am always eager to replay it. Very very fun let's play with some pretty memorable moments.
Freedom Planet
An amazing classic sonic like game. It has a mixture of other mechanics that make it feel really unique and fun, and not just Sonic-at-home (although I have nothing against games like that, I actually like them). The story of this game is also pretty good, and I just love the voice acting. I only did Lilac's story for the let's play, although eventually I may revisit it to do a playthrough as one of the other characters. It's a genuinely great game that I love to replay, so I don't mind that. Really wonderful game if you like some classic platformer action.
Pokemon: Infinite Fusion
A really interesting spin on the pokemon formula. It's another Kanto/Johto game (Not a romhack, it's actually an RPGmaker game) but I didn't mind. Fusion mechanic is really cool, and really mixes up what you can do. It's fun to fuse random pokemon and see what you get. Some of what I made was definitely for aesthetics, but I did have one mon I made for mechanical reasons that ended up being pretty situationally op (It was kecleon mixed with shedninja, with wonder guard. Very few things hit this super effectively!). Was a pretty fun run, and I even made my own custom fusion sprites a few times. I also caught a shiny, randomly! The best part of this game was definitely the creativity of the user submitted sprites, which I really enjoyed seeing, and collecting fusions with the coolest (in my opinion) sprites. Unfortunately became its downfall, as some pretty crappy stuff came to light with how the dev was treating the volunteer spriters and fans who submitted sprites, so I ultimately ended this LP after beating the kanto Elite 4. Not sure if I'll ever return, unfortunately. I got a pretty big turn off from that.
Sims 2 DS
A very very dear to my heart game. Somewhat obscure, not a lot of people know about this, as the PC games definitely overshadowed this quaint little spin off. Still, this game will always have a place in my heart, and I had actually wanted to LP this game for a really long time. I'm really glad I finally did it, and this let's play had so many fun moments. This game has such hilarious dialogue, and I feel like some of the non-sequituer humour was really ahead of its time. The gameplay loop is also pretty fun, even outside of the quest system. It gives it some interesting replayability and a reason to return to the game after beating it, although I tend to prefer starting a new save so I can experience the story again. If you like weird, funny, obscure DS spinoffs, this game (And this let's play!) is definitely for you.

Sonic Adventure 2
Another game I revisted from my old channel. Sonic adventure 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, and I probably have thousands of hours from the chao garden alone. Another game I love to replay the story on, so this let's play was really fun for me. Since this game is a little been there done that for a lot of people, I mixed things up a bit here and there. I actually use a pretty funny mod in this let's play that I wanted to pretend I wasn't using but I wind up acknowledging it anyway. I'll try not to spoil too much here, watch the let's play! I also wound up doing a few one off chao garden videos, one where I got my viewers to help design a chao to raise via a series of convoluted polls, and a few chao garden mod showcases. I'll probably do more mod showcase one offs in the future, as this game has a ton of great mods, some of which I made myself.
Neopets: Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing
Another obscure, underrated handheld spinoff game! This game gets heavily overshadowed by Neopet's console title, The Darkest Faerie, but I find that completely unfair. This is a great little handheld action RPG, and I spent tons of hours playing it as a kid. It has flaws, but I still think it's a great little experience. Anyone who loves Neopets, or this type of game in general, should definitely give it a go. I really enjoyed this let's play. I do have to give a shoutout to jellyneo here, as their guide was excellent and helped keep me on track so I didn't get stuck or miss anything. My favourite thing I did in this let's play was make sure to visit every rainbow puddle, so you get to see every colour of Mazzew throughout this playthrough. That was really fun for me. This game has good build diversity from what I've seen, which gives this game great replayability. My build was mostly focused on attacking quickly, ranged, and self healing. I used the light school of magic basically exclusively. The story is a bit light, but it's enough to keep me engaged throughout the series.
Spyro 1 (Reignited Trilogy)
This is sort of a revisit? Before I was a Vtuber I had started a let's play of the original game on ps1, but never finished it, so this started out nostalgic but grew into it's own thing. I really enjoyed this game. I can kind of tend to turn my nose up at remasters a lot because they often feel forced and unessecary, and kind of cash grabby, but this one I do really enjoy and think is great, although it helps that I got this in a humble bundle and didn't pay full price for it. One thing I think it did really well is make all of the dragons you save unique, instead of using the same few generic models the original did. All of the designs are really really great, even for npcs you speak to once and basically kind of forget about. It really is a gold mine of great anthro dragon designs. The graphics in this game in general look really great to me, even though I still really love the look of the low poly original. This was a really fun experience.
B3313
This is genuinely unironically a very fun romhack. Note that this is a very old let's play, so it's before the (recent? ish?) update that overhauled and added a ton to the game. Still though, this is a really enjoyable romhack if you're a fan of Mario 64. Even if you don't particularly care for the creepy liminal horror stuff, it's fun just in the fact that it's more Mario 64 to play. I start this let's play really rusty as I don't actually play that much Mario, but after some advice from a commenter, I got a bit better at the game. This let's play actually got me super into mario, and I started collecting Mario legos due to this. Rip, my wallet. Still, no one can claim Nintendo loses money from romhacks that badly considering they probably got more money out of me in merch than they ever would have gotten otherwise. At some point I want to revisit this series since I haven't played B3313 since before the big update. Also, I got into doing Mario 64 low star runs. I know how to BLJ now! I may do a low star run one off at some point, and it is thanks to this game that that's even on the table for me.
