I am continuing my series on talking about games from my childhood, and one memorable game that I had on the Nintendo 64 when I was a child was Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I previously mentioned in my review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land that I played a few Kirby games in my childhood. Most Kirby games are not worth talking about in a blog post because they are all the same sort of 2D platformer. However, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is just different enough that I need to talk about it.

My Top 5 Games I Played In 2022

I was meaning to write this post earlier in 2023, but I was dealing with a tailbone injury so I could not sit for long periods of time. I feel well enough now to talk about my five best games I have played in 2022. As mentioned in previous lists, this is not my best games that were released in 2022, but rather the games I played for the first time in 2022. Before I get into the list, I have one honorable mention:
