Hey Allies!
I'm Axel, level/quest designer at Ubisoft, currently working on Assassin's Creed Origins.
I started my career at Larian Studios and worked on games like Divinity: Original Sin. My main focus is to create memorable stories and characters. #context
I'm a big Nintendo fan desperate for a new Metroid. My other favorite Nintendo series are Donkey Kong Country, Fire Emblem, Pokemon and The Legend of Zelda.
Overall, I'm into a lot of different genres, but particularly action/adventure, RPG, and platforming. And FIFA!
I currently own a Wii U, 3DS and PlayStation 4.
Let's be friends!

Alright, my turn!
I'll just pick one dream surprise announcement per show.

Ubisoft: New Splinter Cell
Square Enix: Octopath Traveler 2
Nintendo: Mega Man X9 (Capcom will announce it in the Direct)
Sony: Alundra 3
Cuphead was awesome. The fact I never got angry at it despite dying over and over again is testament to its fair and clear design, all the bosses' patterns are recognizable given a few attempts, and every mistake you make will come solely from a lack of attention.
Each boss's visual design is delightful too, full of personality. There's tons of creativity and a strong identity here, which shines bright even when reaching the final area of the game, which offers
almost as many new (mini-)bosses as the entire game combined!
Yes, it's hard, but not impossible at all with enough patience and observation. It was great to play on Switch too, as I could sneak in 10 minutes here and there over lunch breaks and train rides.
Strongly recommended!

Heads up!
I'm going on holiday and I'll be back on Tuesday. I had prepared the posts in advance so I could post them quickly every day from my phone, but I forgot to send myself the file!
So I won't be able to post the rest of the countdown until Tuesday, apologies! Hope the suspense won't kill you!

@tokyoslim I could have warned you but... At least to keep things fair, I didn't choose it as my counter-pick!
Another game that deserves a thread!
