"So ININ games are at it again, this time with Wonder Boy: Asha In Monster World. This is a remake of Monster World IV which first appeared on the Mega Drive in 1994. Having recently played Space Invaders Forever and Bubble Bobble 4: Friends, I was excited to get into this. So with ININ games publishing, it falls to Artdink for the developing privileges. Artdink has been around since before the first Wonder Boy game was ever released, so let’s see how they did. Wonder Boy: Asha In Monster World is out now on the Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch."

The demo for Neo was fun but i couldn't get myself to pay 60 for a handheld(switch) game that was ported to the PS4.
It's 40 now but i got a backlog. I will play it eventually though.
I feel like F.I.S.T didn’t get nearly as much love as it should’ve got this year.
I could say Doki Doki Literature Club Plus but it sold 500k in a week which is quite impressive. I was just upset that it didn't win any GOTY awards. Although I was told it's because the main game is the same as the original so despite the added side stories, it doesn't count as a new game and couldn't qualify for GOTY. It's still GOTY and true GOAT in my heart.
