Video Games of May 2023

Given that I put at least 300 hours into Breath of the Wild, it's probably not a surprise that I pretty much only played Tears of the Kingdom after it came out.

I'm excluding a bunch of dipping into to various Mario games because I needed some extra screen shots to acompany my Mario Memories.


My top five games (by play time) for June were:

  1. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - I'm really enjoying Tears of the Kingdom. It has the same density of interest that Breath of the Wild did, but the variety of things to do and the interest of those things is much higher. The game feels more vibrant than its predecessor and it's delightful at practically every moment. Also, rocket shields.
    Screenshot, Link stands on broken and mossy rock projection with ring of glowing green text. He's looking out over the clouds of Hyrule, with a few floating islands scattered and a menacing glow under the clouds off to his right.

  2. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - I played this a little bit while waiting for the Tears of the Kingdom release, but also to test out our new portable Switch dock. While I think Tears of the Kingdom is more moment to momefffnt fun, Breath of the Wild still has a beauty all of it's own.
    Screenshot, Link rides through a grassy field towards menacing rock projections that look like bones.

  3. Mario Kart 8 - Vroom vroom.

Here's my total play time chart for June:



And here's a chart of how much I've played over the month:
