I’m almost embarrassed to admit my numbers.

Almost.

I played 95 games this year with a total 964 hours. Gross!

My top three game play times this year were:
1) Pokémon Legends Z-A: 163 Hours
2) Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition: 98 Hours
3) Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma: 91 Hours

My top genre was “Action,” which is incredibly vague as a descriptor, but okay.
January: Korg Gadget for 8 hours.
February: Crypt Custodian: 10 hours
March: Xenoblade X: 23 Hours
April: Xenoblade X: 51 Hours
May: Xenoblade X: 23 Hours
June: Mario Kart World: 17 Hours
July: Rune Factory: 48 Hours
August: Rune Factory: 36 Hours
September: Daemon Ex Machina: Titanic Scion: 18 Hours
October: Pokémon Legends Z-A: 69 (acceptable) Hours
November: Pokémon Legends Z-A: 73 Hours
December: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: 46 Hours

I’ll have to upload my stats somewhere so that I can do a direct link.

Based on your games, your top genre should be RPG right? I am curious what the possible game types are.

Tried to put some more time into Switch gaming this past year, especially once I got my Switch 2 and had a more pleasant way to play them.

19 games. 367 hours.

Action was my favorite genre, which is rather perplexing considering the games I played on Switch this year.

January - Kirby & the Forgotten Land - 20 hrs
February - DKC Returns HD - 15 hrs
March -> June -  Nothing
July - DK Bananza - 14 hrs
August - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - 39 hrs
September - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - 21 hrs
October - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 14 hrs
November - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 77 hrs
December - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 75 hrs

As you can probably guess, my main goal in the latter half of the year was to get to Xenoblade 3 by finally completing my 8 year odyssey to force myself through the (total piece of ****) Xenoblade 2.
