8 – Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
This little puzzle-adventure is one of the most delightful games I’ve ever played, and my favorite game on WiiU. Its art style is gorgeous, improving the SM3DW engine thanks to its focus on restrained levels, making this game one of the cutest on current consoles, Toad and Toadette animations are also incredibly tender, contributing to make this game a really pleasing experience.
Talking about the game itself, the level design is top notch and invites to replay them until collecting all diamonds and fulfilling secondary missions. Also, levels are very varied, going from on-rail shooter to stealth sections, and surprise the player proposing a new mechanic.
Each year I have less time to play videogames, but when I play Captain Toad I remember why I still love this medium.
