[@Faustustopheles]

my wife is loving Smurfs! but... it's not super easy... a lot of jumping on balloons 🎈 🍄

[@robbiegta]

Great vid. But if you'd only made it 10 seconds longer it's run time would be 2022!

[@ircha]

Oh nooo 😂 👍

[@shorekey1y560]

The algorithm needs to straighten up. I found you again Ircha!!! Excellent video, hope you're doing well girly. Always ❤️

[@ircha]

Thank you! You too!

[@pahtosh]

Congratulations on your wedding Ircha, loved how you shared a little of that important moment and how it was in the background of that very special 2022 video , for a special year ❤

[@TheMartinSan]

That was a sweet letter :D I work as a teacher and every once in a blue moon there will be a student writing something similar, always makes my heart melt :)

[@xtranathor8143]

Oooh RF4S is my GOTY! Not dissimilar for yours! You've done a good job defending Pokémon Arceus, and I am pretty pleased with its release in the franchise. We've still got a way to go to perfect things, but it's definitely the direction I've been wanting the series to go for 10 years now.

[@yakumorisuke9403]

I loved XC3, Arceus, Potion Permit, and Dreamlight Valley too! I've never had a game I keep going back to before, as I tend to set games aside once I'm done with them, but I keep going back to Dreamlight every time they add more characters 😊 I've still not got around to playing Sophie, so that will probably be on my 'played but not new' list next year.

[@jeboom89]

I'm SO excited to play RF5 now! I had bought it earlier this week on sale, and it'll be my first ever RF experience.

[@ircha]

Hope you enjoy it! 😁 👍

[@stevenknickerbocker8786]

I'm so happy that I stumbled onto one of your videos months ago. I think your videos are informative and entertaining, I love your personality and game recommendations. Thank you for being you!

[@ircha]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear 😁 👍

[@iselineverland]

Hugs from new follower from Norway 🇳🇴 I really love your videos! So excited to find you in this sleepless night❤

[@PierceTravels]

Looks like you got me into another one! Pokemon Arceus is amazing

[@ircha]

It's so good!

[@AutismFamilyChannel]

I just beat Links Awakening this month. Fun little game.

[@jonathancrager9412]

New to your channel because i stumbled on your Forspoken review My 2022 games of the year were Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok 2023 my favorite games of the year are Forspoken, Atlas Fallen, Scars Above and FFXVI

[@sabsi91sakura]

Happy Holidays to you as well! I found my love with the Atelier Games thanks too you :D also your lists are always very uniqe and for that i like them

[@VampireNoblesse]

agree, alomst every winter (almost as tradition xD), I need to play Skyrim too (it really is like a goty every year :D)

[@tzovlask]

Such a quirky goty list and winner. It was fun to watch. Thanks and merry Christmas Irene!!

[@cari_iii]

1000% agree about arceus! it's such a strange feeling to explain but I felt the same. it really touched my heart in a very specific way! felt the same about rf5. dropped so many hours into that game and still go back to it now. it just scratched the exact farming itch that I personally enjoy, I had an amazing time with it. wish i could play elden ring but my ps4 broke and all I have now is a switch. definitely adding it to my list for the future though!

[@ircha]

Yay! 😁 oh yeah, get Elden Ring sometime 👍🎊

[@desmondus21]

I recently started rune factory 5 and OMG I'm having so much fun! Of course, there are some performance issues... which is why I didn't pick the game up sooner. I wish I had though, it's a perfectly playable game despite. I'm 100% with you on this one!!!

[@dukenukem7043]

i’m playing it on the steam deck because i couldn’t bare the switch performance . but i’m bad at this game i have no idea what i’m supposed to do!

[@desmondus21]

​@@dukenukem7043 tbh the performance on the switch doesn't bother mee that much. sure, there is a considerable lag/drop in frame rates every time I enter or exit a building, but other than that it's ok. I haven't run into any glitches or anything, It's not Pokémon-bad lol I'm also not very good.... i've mostly been growing crops and shipping them, trying to save up for crafting table. also, I recently learned how to catch monsters!

[@dukenukem7043]

@@desmondus21 yeah im actually getting better now, so do all the quest board missions and eventually it will open the game up and u will get lots of missions. and those missions reward you with most of the essential items so its a waste buying them first because you will just get two of them

[@marcinkociszewski9964]

I played Skyrim a lot in 2022, and thought nothing could possibly be more fun and immersive experience, but then started Witcher3 next gen....and, oh my! Anyway happy 2023!!

[@Liofa73]

I'm pretty sure none of us would have guessed that Skyrim would be on the list, you've hardly talked about it on your channel. :P

[@towanora1445]

You are definitely my favorite youtuber about gaming contents. Our tastes are very close and similar, I love your videos’ structure and you’re always straight to the point, honest and all your contents are very interesting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on games as always, and happy holidays 🤍

[@ircha]

You're the best thank you so much 💕

[@number1nick123]

First! And also ashamed that my Rune Factory 5 Special edition is still in its wrapper and I bought it on day 1. I'm tempted to open it now.

[@CamiloGTavira]

Greetings from Mexico, this was a very nice and funny video. Happy new year :)

[@LuzmarieG]

I appreciate your videos a lot and your reviews. You have your own taste in games which I find similar to mine so I appreciate anything you post!

[@philosophyoftrucking]

Merry Christmas from Indiana, Irene!

[@magyreyes5560]

Wow! Now I have to check out more games! I'm definitely going to check out the smurfs game! Thanks Ircha!

[@liss3089]

I always like your lists! Your highly personal opinion is wonderful. I also liked your #1 game of the year, I had a lot of fun with it too. The game I spent the most time in this year was xenoblade. I loved that game. It was a very good year for gaming. Watching your list from this year I still haven’t played all of these games and your video is a good review and reminder for me to get through my backlog. Thank you for your content this year and happy holidays

[@journeysilvers9838]

Ahhh I'm playing potion permit right now and it's so much fun!!

[@GerdodolGaming]

'It makes sense for some people' 😁 Merry Christmas!

[@moniquemendonca962]

I'm a new subscriber in your channel and I'm really enjoying

[@ircha]

Welcome aboard! 😁 👍

[@Sveakungen]

Ok, I have finally bought Rune Factory 5 and that is thanks to your review and award. 😃Thx for the 10% off on eShop-cards in your shop!

[@butterf1ytsunami]

Just found your channel and love it. Look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@SheIsTheOneNamedSailorMoon]

I love watching your video's! You made me fall in love with jrpg! ❤️

[@theonedraven8007]

scarlet nexus was one of the 5 games i platinumed this year, xenoblade 3 was my hardest hitting game, i legit could not play anything else because that post game depression hit me, my game of the year for sure, but i found your channel cause of rune factory 5!

[@CrazyBuffyFan1]

Happy holidays, Ircha! I agree with you on Arceus. I think, for me, it's the number one of games I played this year. That said, even though I didn't play a ton of games from this year, I don't think I had any bad experiences. Brilliant Diamond was just okay (I don't have that Gen 4 nostalgia), but that's probably the closest to being "eh." Here's to 2023 and playing more games both from then and years before! :D

[@ruthurban1959]

I picked up the Smurf game tonight, thank you for letting me know it was on sale. Merry Christmas xx

[@ircha]

Hope you enjoy it! 😁👍

[@davidbonhote2660]

Ircha Gaming, OMG, I'm actually playing Link's Awakening as for being a "cozy" game for the Holiday weekend! I'd also like to suggest to you of trying 3 Lego versioned Switch games that I think you'll really like...... > Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga(all 9 movies) > Lego Harry Potter Collection > Lego City Undercover( they say it's like the Lego version of Grand Theft Auto V-sort of)

[@Tinoshke07]

Thank you for the joy you bring to so many people through the entire year Irene, happy holidays ! 🎄✨

[@Xsyven]

Happy holidays, Ircha! Always love hearing your unique taste and take on video games. You speak a similar, yet different video game language than I do, so it's always fun learning new games from you!

[@frankielinkgaming4215]

Happy Holidays Irene... Frankie Link~ Ircha Gaming's biggest fan in the states... maybe even the world....

[@coolbreeeze6018]

Good Stuff 👍👍 Here's some games i recommend. Gris, ROKi, Good Job!, Forgotten Anne, The Pedestrian, Behind The Frame, Knights And Bikes, Anno Mutationem, Land Of Screens, The Red Lantern, Lil Gator Game, Cake Bash, Jenny Leclue Detective, Return To Monkey Island, Tinykin, Tools Up! , Say No! More, Sommerville and last but certainly not least Bayonetta 3

[@just_another_account8089]

Great video! I have really loved Harvestella as someone who doesn't play many video games. I just finished the final boss recently. There's so much to do in the game but I'm thinking of making a new save and starting it again! 🥰

[@bonkme955]

finally got my 1st ever nintendo switch bcoz of ur vid.. thnks a lot, rn im playing blue reflection 2 n dfntly wll ply atelier ryza next. so hppy bout ths console coz i cn play any time n anywhere... rip my ps4 >

[@schatzsucher]

omg the smurfs! ❤ Looks fun 😊

[@lauramayfair7887]

Ircha, I always love your yearly game favorites. My favorite game this year was Pokemon Violet. Even with all its problems. I have not played Arceus yet. I will definitely play it in 2023…!

[@tinahoefs1455]

Merry Christmas and Happy new year :) My most played game was wylde flowers but rf5 was one of my top 3 which were all launch games this year. My top 3 over time were rf4, animal crossing, and snes collection.

[@cocoabean2513]

This is my favourite video of the year! ❤ happy holidays

[@ircha]

Thank you! Happy holidays 🎄 ✨

[@eelaeshi4057]

I love watching youtube videos about the 4th dimension. Thank you for the list!

[@jackthestripper-r4w]

HAPPY NEW YEAR IRCHA!!!!

[@nutmeg9593]

The nintendo halloween sale recommended me Monark so I played the demo. It actually scared the crap outta me so I had to get it. It's on my backlog but I highly recommend everyone go play the demo. You're the only one I ever heard mention this title. I hope you all have fun and have a merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

[@tahliamgb]

Happy Holidays Ircha, thank you for all the content this year, so glad I found your channel, you’re the best :)

[@wanted1585]

I agree, with you. Rune factory 5 is great. I almost 100% rune factory 5. I'm about like 95% done with it because I needed boss drop with like 1% drop rate and if I reset the game to get another chance, it took like 15 minute to start over again and again if not for that I would have done everything within the game.

[@neogoth2012]

Hi. I now have a Switch. Really enjoyed the reviews. Great video. I look forward to more in 2023. Happy Holidays from the UK.

[@Azari_D]

I play Atelier thanks to you, and I love them, thank you!

[@gh0stcat387]

So nice I watched it twice 😸😸Happy Holidays!!!

[@ircha]

Thanks 😍😍🎄 happy holidays 🎄 ✨

[@chocolocojames213]

My game of the year was Super Castlevania IV. Couldn't stop playing during Holloween

[@AstralFrost]

Ircha! Happy holidays!

[@Nino_Psiquico]

I recently started to follow and watch every video you upload and your channel has become one of my favorites. Thank you for your content, specially the reviews. Some of my favorite games that I played this 2022 was the first Atelier Ryza, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Legends Arceus, and I'm currently playing and enjoying Shining Resonance Refrain. Merry christmas and happy new year!

[@zyadtarik2165]

Great list of top 22 games for this year happy holiday🎄

[@Tuinuiski]

Great list. I'm going to get some of these games. Merry Christmas 🤶

[@devilsthumb]

good video, rune factory looks fun, reminds me of eternal sonata, a bit. going to begin elden ring on new years day and fear i will not the see the sun, my friends or family for months. oh well, the things we do for gaming! cheers from the mile high city!

[@samfisher5056]

Xenoblade series was one of the reasons I preferred the switch to ps5 and i had so much fun, can't wait to the next batch of the season pass.. Marry christmas Ircha

[@randomrecipes5007]

You're my go to channel for news/reviews on Nintendo Switch titles that I would have no idea about, love how you picked YOUR favorite games, and didn't go with what most are saying, stay true to yourself, Rune Factory 5 looks amazing, and wouldn't know it existed if not for you, gotta check it out.. Cheers, hope you have a Merry Christmas from New York, USA

[@ET_Videos]

Thanks for all the great videos this year!! Hope you have an awesome holiday!

[@KSalmon74]

Ircha! Happy Holidays!!

[@DaddyGamerDiaries]

Fun! Feelings! Why we love games! I just bought Rune Factory 5 on sale this holiday season and can't wait to enjoy it.

[@Kakki82]

Merry Christmas beautiful!! Love your list😉❤️

[@__BlacklotuS__]

The word you're looking for for legends Arceus is "nostalgia"

[@GeminiSunrise06]

Very great video and surprising top! I totally agree with you on pkmn Arceus, it also light up my sparks i had when i was a kid. I'll do a new playthrough for sure! Rune factory 5 first 😮 i didnt see it coming. I played a few hours at release but give up on it for another game (forgot which one was it). I should give rf5 another chance! Great christmas to you and everyone 😁

[@nomanshigh3058]

Yup Skyrim ps5 got me too. AGAIN. 100%ed the trophies for the first time. Now it's time to go through AGAIN with Mods.

[@Methrael]

You're right, a couple of us will relate. That was my game of the year, too.

[@ircha]

That's awesome 👌!! 😁

[@deecee7073]

You're correct about the xenoblade games just bought a switch a couple of days ago top try out Nintendo first party games and I'm struggling with FPS and blurriness in some games, Guess I got used to PC graphics and FPS.

[@mariakristiansen5227]

im soo happy you liked the gift!❤

[@Mialotic]

I picked up Legends Arceus on boxing day and thoroughly enjoying it. Looking forward to Diskydisk in 2023

[@miker2000]

That's a cool idea to have a list of missed games. Eldin Ring is going to be one i miss. I was waiting for a sale and forgot about it. 😑 Arceus is my game of the year for similar reasons. Fun, feel like a trainer, and mixed feelings with the graphics. Similarly, it felt like discovering the awesomeness of Pokemon all over again!

[@mygirlfriendismean]

Great video! Love your taste in games!

[@Mani-hv1lm]

Nice and Useful... Thanks a Lot...🌹

[@aaron6493]

Happy Holidays you 2, take care.

[@Heimkineast]

Frohe Weihnachten to everyone from Germany 🌟

[@kratos_pt1121]

Pokémon Legends Arceus is number 1 for me. I agree with your review completely, this game got me back into pokémon after some 15 years. It's so enjoyable and fun to just explore the world and catch more 'mons. (I'm also playing Sword, pokémon Go and I will get Scarlet/Violet in a few of months for sure). My number 2 goes to Xenoblade 3, excellent game.

[@orest_4thhorseman]

Merry Christmas to you, your husband, and cat.

[@evilbob3351]

I relate to your number 1 :) Happy holidays :D

[@jonathonseeleyseeley172]

@ircha have you tried Othercide i think its a game up your alley love you content and keep up the good work

[@kirstycooper6131]

[@rogermiller9034]

[@silverian]

Happy Holidays and thank you for great recommendations to play!

[@neighborsteffen3760]

i loved the smurf game, the only downside was that i could not play as Gargamel, the master of Evil

[@dukenukem7043]

i’m playing rune factory 5 right now on the steam deck! it runs 60 fps and looks amazing . but i suck at this game and don’t know what to do

[@Riz2336]

My games of the year were: God Of War Ragnorok, Stray, Horizon Dawn Forbidden West, Pokemon Legends Arceus, and Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion

[@packers12to80]

Rune factory easily got my most played and fav game of the yr......i didn't care about the short comings . Best of the yr, so your not alone!!!!!!!!

[@ircha]

Awesome!! 😍👍

[@Midnitethorn]

So torn about Harvestella....if it goes on sale I might get it. Would love to hear about your opinion on it.
