How do I know when I've completed a game?
That's up to you, it could be completing the game or playing 10hrs+ if it has no ending or a MP game. You can do replays, as long as all the games are completed in 2017.

Do I have to record time?
No.

Do I have to review or comment on the games I complete?
No but it'd be nice to give a few words or maybe a quick score.Full blown mini-reviews aren't necessary.

Do episodic games count as a single game or X amount of games?
That's up to you. It's alright to count something like Life is Strange as one or five games. Your choice.

Can I finish a game I started in 1992 and count that?
Yes.

What should I do once I've completed the challenge?
Shoot me a PM with a link to your post that shows all the games you've completed.

Do board games count?
They do not.

Is there a deadline?

Aw yiiisss!

Thanks to this challenge I've beaten:
60 games in 2014
86 games in 2015
and 89 games in 2016

Let's see if I can keep increasing it! (Edit: Unlikely!)


My goal for this year is:

Actually play those long ass games I love.
I tend to feel like I waste my time when I play the games I love the way I love to play them. Which is spending countless hours on modding them and then around 400 hours on playing through them over and over (yeah I'm looking at you Fallout: New Vegas!). I want to play through The Witcher 2 at least 4 times but after the first time I got stressed about "wasting time" and couldn't continue. That's stupid and I need to change that.

(I removed the other goals here because I got stressed by them. They can wait until next year or whatevs.)

This post is mine.

Did it three years in a row. I really, really hope I don't do it this year.

January:

Game 1: Xanadu Next (PC): Great game though the block puzzles drag it down for me. 4/5

Game 2: Picross Touch! (PC): It was free and I wanted to play it instead of other games. Presentation is a little bit basic but it is free so I recommend it. I fear buying other Picross games now. 3/5

February:

Game 3: Superhot (PC): It's the most innovative shooter I played in years! 5/5

Game 4: Rhythm Heaven Megamix (3DS): I brought Tibby back to Heaven World. Technically there are still a few levels left but I saw credits (and the levels now are a little bit too hard for me). Overall I really like it even if some of the rhythm games are terrible. My biggest problem is some games being either too fast, too slightly off-beat to play or both. No score.

Game 5: Yakuza 3 (PS3): My imtroduction to the series and I loved it. Definitely will continue with the series. Enjoyable combat, detailed world, style and a cool soundtrack. Didn't bother much with the sode stuff and it has a little bit of early gen jank. Still a good game overall though. 3/5

Game 6: Ys Origin (PC): I love the Ys series and Origin is probably my favorite one so far. Three characters, three versions of the same story. Sadly, one story mostly ignores the other two. 4/5.

Game 7: Refunct (PC): Really, really short, little and neat first-person platformer. 3/5

Game 8: Child of Eden (PS3): I like neon, particles and neon particles. I love the music and the presentation in Child of Eden but I really didn't enjoy two of the five levels. And some parts they added on the fundamentals set by Rez I didn't like, too. 3/5

Game 9: To the Moon (PC): A neat and unique story with a nice presentation. Almost had a tear in my eye. It's probably unfair, but the controls hindered my enjoyment. Especially in a later part of the game. 3/5

Game 10: Helly Yeah! (PC): I really wanted to like but the game is hit or miss and misses more in my opinion. 3/5

Game 11: Momodora: Reverie under the Moonlight (PC): Great Metroidvania. Looks good, controls good but the soundtrack is forgetable imo. 4/5

Game 12: Octodad - Dadliest Catch (PC): Funny little physics thingie that is as long as its gimmick is interesting. 3/5

March

Game 13: Hitman Sniper (iOS): First-Person-Sniper that is enjoyable because of the touch controls imo. Nice presentation for a phone game and objectives are fun at first. Overstays its welcome sadly and in the last chapters too many missions goals are just "get high number of points for big score". Bought my ways through those because I saved up so much ingame money. 3/5

Game 14: Shock Troopers (Switch): Fun run and gun shooter although it controls a little to slow for my tastes. No score

Game 15: Thirty Flights of Loving (PC): That was something. No score

Game 16: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Swtich): Never felt I so compelled to explore a game world. There are a few shortcomings but this will likely be my GotY is one of my favorite games ever. I love it so much! 5/5

Game 17: Shadow Complex Remastered (PC): It has aged worse than I thought but it still is one of my favorite Metroidvanias. 4/5

April:

Game 18: Snake Pass (Switch): Delightful physics platformer. Slithering around is fun. Soundtrack is nice but a bit samey for me. Bit blurry in handheld mode. Quite frustrating in times when you feel it doesn't control like it should which get worse with the camera issues. 3/5

Game 19: Day of the Tentacle Remastered (PC): One of the few Point and Click Adventures I can bear to play. Presentation, soundtrack, story and jokes are still great. 5/5

Game 20: Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap (Switch): Never played a Wonder Boy or Monster Land game but I loved this. The amazing art is what drew me into this additional to it being a fun game. 4/5

Game 21: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PC): I like the Bad Company games for their campaign. I still enjoyed it though there were some garbage sections. 3/5

May:

Game 22: Paint it Back (PC): Out of the three Picross games I played, Paint it Back is the best. Presentation and puzzles are great. 4/5

Game 23: Inside (PC): Weird puzzle platformer. It has some great and playful puzzles, I like the presentation and nothing could've prepared me for the last bit. 4/5

Game 24: PuyoPuyoTetris Adventure Mode(Switch): I skipped all the story stuff. The missions were sometimes pretty tough. Certainly not the mode you buy the game for. No Score

Game 25: Persona 5 (PS4): It's not better or worse than Persona 4: Golden for me. I liked most of the characters, the refined mechanics, the style and design. The main battle theme was no Reach out to the truth though. It'll be either my GotY or lose to Zelda if nothing better comes along. People should certainly play Persona 5 though. 5/5

June:

Game 26: SquareCells (PC): A logic puzzler based on Picross with a twist. It has a nice, clean presentation but I didn't really enjoy the twist and the game was the best for me when it was simply Picross. Will check out the other games by the same developer though. 3/5

Game 27: I Am The Hero (PC): Decent 2D Beat'em Up. Nice pixelart but forgettable soundtrack. In later areas things can get a little bit tricky because of the number of enemies on screen which wouldn't be that big of a problem if I wouldn't have had problems activating my EX skills. Combat system is fun but monotonous though the game is over before it gets boring. Ending screen is nice. 3/5

Game 28: Va-11 Halla (PC): A Visual Novel set in a cyberpunk bar. It has a nice (but a little too much anime) pixel style, soundtrack suits the look and some of the stories and characters are really good. A lot of the dialogue feels like an excuse that anime girls can talk about boobs, dicks and fucking. The bar mixing is fun though.

Game 29: Vanquish (PC): Vanquish is as great as I remembered it. While graphically it looks really dated and the soundtrack doesn't really get me, the gameplay is still really awesome. The mouse and keyboard controls make the game so fluid that it makes my first experience with the game on 360 retroactively worse. Don't expect much from the story either but sliding on your knees and shooting robots in slow mo will make up for that. One of the best if not the best third person shooter. 4/5

Game 30: Mandagon (PC): A neat little exploration platformer for the price of free. Chilling music and nice pixelart. Platforming is good, too. It's sub 1 hour so if you need something for the challenge, check it out! 3/5


July:

Game 31: Mini Metro (Macbook): In Mini Metro you plan your own train connections. New stations pop up randomly and you need to include them in your existing lines. The game is mellow and stressful alike. If too many people are waiting in your station you need to bring in new trains, additional carriages or a new line asap or it is game over for the scenario. While it is fun it can get slightly frustrating, too. There are elements of luck involved. For example you can get in to trouble if you not get tunnels to cross a river or too many stations of one kind are in one row. 3/5

Game 32: Isotiles (Macbook): Fun little puzzle game. Nothing bad, nothing special. It is cheap, short and good. 3/5

Game 33: Solitairica (Macbook): A Solitaire rogue-lite. It could be a little bit snappier, animations could be faster than the fast animation option and clicking the cards doesn't feel very good. Despite that the game is pretty fun. You have deck of cards which you try to match with the cards of different columns which represent the enemies healthbar. I almost quit the game if I didn't get lucky in my last run. The rng gets you. You can get runs where you can't get a single action and die. Losing doesn't feel good. 3/5

Game 34: Spaceplan (Macbook): A clicker with a story. The presentation is nice. I didn't read the Stephen Hawking book it is based on but the game went a little bit too hard with its potato theme. Near the end there are some not so good sections and the ending sequence is too long. And I didn't really like the clicker mechanics. 2/5

Game 35: Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition (PC): Played in coop. Was one and half a year in the making. Really cool RPG with a bad last part that drags it down for me a little bit. 3/5

Game 36: Cook, Serve, Delicious!: When I finally got the highest rated restaurant I yelled "I'm free!" and uninstalled it. This game is the devil of time consuming. 4/5

Game 37: The Journey Down Chapter 1 (Macbook): Neat little adventure game. I especially enjoyed the soundtrack. 3/5

Game 38: Nier: Automata (PC): Having played the first Nier I kinda knew what kinda depressing stories were waiting for me which in hindsight maybe took away from its impact on me. Or maybe the first Nier is still fresh on my memory since I played it late last year. In terms of combat it is a step up from the first game though it can get kinda repetitive. The shmup parts (not the hacking minigames) were my favorite sections. Soundtrack was mostly great. Graphics are outdated but have some nice designs. I'd recommend if more for the story and themes than the gameplay. 4/5

August

Game 39: Power Hover (PC): A level based autorunner. Presentation is nice, soundtrack wasn't my thing. Gameplay was hit or miss for me. It either oversteered in situations where I didn't want it to or understeered in situations where I needed more. 3/5

Game 40: Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (PC): I think I would've enjoyed the game more if I played it when it came out. Crashed often for me and the game feeling was off imo. Storytelling was awful. Level design was great though. 2/5

Game 41: The Journey Down Chapter 2 (Macbook): Like its predecessor. a neat adventure game. Likeable characters, good soundtrack and a tad longer than the first one. 3/5

Game 42: Valley (PC): A first-person-platformer. Looks great, plays great, soundtrack is great. 4/5

Game 43: Emporium (PC): Dark surreal adventure game. It is short but even if it only takes ~ 30 minutes to go through the gameplayloop gets quite tedious and distracted me from the themes it tries to tackle. 3/5

Game 44: The Silent Age (Macbook): Adventure with a time-travelling story. I'm a sucker for those. 3/5

Game 45: Prey (2017): Great sci-fi game. Atmosphere, combat and soundtrack are quite good. Also liked the art design in this. Ending felt a little rushed and I quite encountered a few bugs. 4/5 but a 5/5 in my heart.

September:

Game 46: Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition (PC): Fuck this game. Was so good but then a known bug which hasn't been fixed in all these years in a story sequence wiped my equipment. Halfway through the Awakening campaign. Really enjoyed the rest of the game but this is unacceptable. 1/5

Game 47: Oxenfree (PC): Neat little advenutre with interesting story. Though I got the impression that the teens were really tweens or people in their thirties captured in younger bodies. 3/5

Game 48: Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (Switch): A turn-based strategy game with a lot of charme. The last few levels are pretty hard. Looks nice, plays nice, sounds nice. And while there is a lot you can do with the movement of your characters and combining abilities, there was something for me that was missing. Maybe bigger squads or more options for your character classes. Score: 3/5 or 4/5 depending on what day you ask me.

Game 49: Steamworld Dig 2 (Switch): Like the first one, if you're looking for something chill to play, get this game. Nice visual style, good soundtrack and fun gameplay. Even some slightly creepy stuff. An improvement on the excellent Steamworld Dig. 4/5

October

Game 50: Yakuza 4 (PS3): I think Yakuza is now one of my favorite series. Some bullshit enounters and a little bit of jank but still a great game. Kamurocho in the rain looked incredible! 4/5

Game 51: Golf Story (Switch): Like Earthbound with golf. 4/5

Game 52: Rime (PC): Pleasant artstyle and nice soundtrack make this a good game to relax. Gameplay is climbing and puzzles from Uncharted. Not bad, not great but serviceable. Very screenshotable. 3/5

Signing for 2017. Failed 2014, passed 2015, failed 2016. Let's make 2017 a winner!

1: Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (PC) - (4 hours 10 mins) 01/01/2017
# My yearly start and finish a game on New Years Day is complete. :)

2: Space Hulk: Deathwing (PC) - (8 hours ) 07/01/2017

#An all right game that could have been so much more. It's fun, but it needs more variety otherwise it becomes a little repetitive.

3: Dreadout (PC) - (4 hours 5 mins) 07/01/2017
#Indie horror that's decent enough, but does have rough mechanics/controls.

4: Year Walk (PC) - (1 hours 40 mins) 15/01/2017
#Interesting adventure puzzle-esque game, but I didn't find it as impressive as a lot of other people did.

5: Mass Effect (PC) - (18 hours 01 mins) 22/01/2017
#Replayed Mass Effect on PC (only played the 1st game on 360) to playthrough the trilogy before the new game hits.

6: Resident Evil 7 (PC) - (8 hours 20 mins) 28/01/2017
#Bought it the same day, played it in one sitting, loved it. Best RE since 4. Captures old RE with a mixture of horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Any like the RE1 Easter Egg Puzzle? :)

7: Splatoon (Wii U) - (22 hours 28 mins) 12/01/2017
#Great time with Nintendo's third person shooter, but it's time to retire it and make way for the new one that is out this Summer.

8: Sniper Elite 4 (PC) - (9 hours 40 mins) 23/02/2017
#Best in series. It makes some great improvements to the formula.

9: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) - (75 hours 20 mins) 08/03/2017
#Magical. Amazing. One of the best ever.

10: Nier: Automata (PS4) - (27 hours 20 mins) 18/03/2017
#A brilliant, slick action RPG pumped with so many cool and distinct features. http://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/nier-automata-ps4/

11: Persona 5 (PS4) - (110 hours 13 mins) 11/04/2017
#A beautiful gem of an RPG, and once again, makes me fall in love with its characters. I'll miss them like good friends. Also, the tweaks to the gameplay are the icing on the cake. :)

12: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) - (54 hours 11 mins) 28/04/2017
#Well Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is out, so it's time to retire the best Mario Kart for an improved version. :)

13: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III (PC) - (19 hours) 06/05/2017
#A different, but rather fun and exciting DOW entry, one that is hectic as hell and requires me to be constantly alert.

14: What Remains of Edith Finch (PC) - (1 hour 50 minutes) 07/05/2017
#Interesting tale to tell, and very varied in its vignette short stories.

15: Little Nightmares (PC) - (3 hour 5 minutes) 13/05/2017
#Cool indie game that has great atmosphere, graphics and sound. Has an interesting story too.

16: ICEY (PC) - (2 hour 50 minutes) 29/05/2017
#Totally not what I was expecting. Cool 2D action swordplay, similar to Dust: Elysian Tail, but mix in some weird narration and external powers to the mix..... O_O it's COOL! ;)

17: Blackwood Crossing (PC) - (1 hour 40 minutes) 01/07/2017
#Not much great gameplay wise, but a sad tale it tells. :(

18: Get Even (PC) - (7 hour 48 minutes) 03/09/2017
#Interesting story and concept, but the stealth stuff is a bit meh. It's optional, but tied into story plot paths, so you have to deal with it if you want good stuff.

19: Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Episode 1(PC) - (1 hour 30 minutes) 03/09/2017
#Playing through again to show a friend, as he enjoys watching horror games, but hates playing them.

20: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PC) - (7 hour 35 minutes) 23/09/2017
#Enjoyable, looks fucking amazing, acting is fantastic, very interesting story, combat is quite one noted and maybe a tad too many find icon match puzzles. it's a solid 7

21: Burning Fight (Switch) - (41 minutes) 30/09/2017
#very simple, average beat-em-up, but i like beat-em-ups. :D

22: Blue Reflection (PS4) - (30 hours 15 minutes) 10/10/2017
#Enjoyable game with a huge focus on story and relationships, but not much great at the RPG battling part.

23: The Evil Within 2 (PC) - (11 hours 13 minutes) 04/11/2017
#Great sequel that does some improvements to make the whole game progress much smoother.

24: Observer (PC) - (4 hours 55 minutes) 05/11/2017
#Interesting cyberpunk themed game with a little horror thrown in. Better than Layers of Fear.

25: Call of Duty: WW2 (PC) - (6 hours 35 minutes) 18/11/2017
#Very fun campaign that looks rather nice on PC. Now to mess with multiplayer.

26: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series - Episode 1 Tangled Up in Blue (PC) - (1 hours 40 minutes) 03/12/2017
#Amusing first episode that has the chemistry of Tales of the Borderlands.

27: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series - Episode 2 Under Pressure(PC) - (1 hours 35 minutes) 09/12/2017
#Funny in places, but not quite as good as the first ep.

28: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus(PC) - (9 hours 15 minutes) 17/12/2017
#Great sequel, but I feel the lack of bosses and some cheap combat zones make the first one that little bit better. Story is batshit crazy though!

First timer here. Over 7 years of NeoGAF and never did this. Let's make it count.

Random backlog games for the near future
Sunset Overdrive, Unravel

Completed
1: Fallout 4 - 40 hours
With more toe-to-toe action and less role-playing than previous Fallout games, Fallout 4 shines in balance. Melee or FPS-like shooter with plenty in-between: it all works out great, which is an achievement for an open-world game. While it misses the dark humor established in New Vegas and lacks the grandeur of getting out of the vault for the first time in Fallout 3, the overall experience is smooth - modding weapons, the bases of major factions, set pieces and environments, all come together in a cohesive manner.

2: Saints Row 4 - 25 hours
Yeah, I collected everything. What seemed to become a chore was way more enjoyable then I'd ever imagined. Gliding, jumping and running through the city of Steelport is wicked fun. I didn't have any previous experience with Saints Row games and while that's basically necessary at this point as characters get introduced without any backstory, it did not hinder the chaotic superpower gameplay that forms the game. Highly recommended.

Changelog
2017-04-23: More time to play video games, much more than before. Here we go. Also, Saints Row 4.
2017-01-28: I consider Fallout 4 complete after doing the main storyline for the major factions and many side-quests.

#01 Inside | 8/10 | PC | 2nd Jan | 3.6hrs
Both technically and stylistically gorgeous with an attention to detail of both the world and the character animations that the story is portrayed elegantly without even a word. The gameplay gets repetitive before long but thanks to its short nature and mysterious unraveling tale it's more than captivating until it's impressively haunting conclusion.

#02 Pneuma: Breath of Life | 4.5/10 | PC | 3rd Jan | 4.5hrs
The pretty aesthetics lured me in along with a hefty 85% price cut, though below the surface there's little depth with simplistic puzzles, a heavily linear world and a tedious existential narrative driven story. It's not a game I'd go out of my way to recommend, especially at a time where there are so many strong alternatives like The Witness.

#03 DOOM | 9/10 | PC | 8th Jan | 13.6hrs
DOOM is a stunning faithful adaptation of the original genre defining masterpiece brought into the modern era, to a comparable degree as Metroid Prime was to Super Metroid. The gunplay is absolute bliss, arguably the best I've experienced, with a flawlessly implemented melee gameplay loop that fits like it was always meant to be a part of the series. Fantastic, frantic and fluid from start to end.

#04 Black Mesa | 5/10 | PC | 8th Jan | 10.2hrs
I've waited at length for a reason to play Half Life again for the longest time, eagerly awaiting Black Mesa. Unfortunately whilst it's a great remake on paper the game itself corrupted my saves multiple times, and the tired gameplay and awkward pacing hasn't aged nearly as well as I'd hoped. Managed to drag myself through the later half of the game, and can only hope my desire to play Half Life 2 through against isn't as disappointing.

#05 Abzu | 6/10 | PC | 8th Jan | 1.2hrs
I'd like to just draw comparisons to it being Journey underwater, but that'd be too lofty a compliment. Its presentation is stunning throughout but greatly lacks the depth and emotional engagement that Journey posses. A lot of this comes from it being a solo adventure, but also because the silent tale isn't half as impactful a... journey.

#06 Among The Sleep | 5/10 | PC | 8th Jan | 1.6hrs
Beautifully creative horror game that has you witness the terrors of normality through the eyes of a baby. Unfortunately creativity aside the game falls short in both horror and enough gameplay depth to remain engaging for its short timespan. The novelty runs dry pretty quickly, and the games pivot beyond normality only proceeds to drag it down.

#07 Chrono Trigger | 8/10 | SNES | 12th Jan | 23.5hrs
After multiple attempts I finally worked my way through this heavily praised RPG classic. Whilst not a fan of JRPG games in general, there's a charm and accessibility to Chrono Trigger that made it easy to stick with. The combat system, thankfully avoiding excessive RNG, is great and is coupled with fantastic character development and intertwined story.

#08 Uncharted 4 | 9/10 | PS4 | 22nd Jan | 12.5hrs
By no surprise Naughty Dog once again delivers a masterpiece. The storytelling pace from start to end is sublime, with gameplay set pieces and character development that rival anything they've achieved prior. Graphically stunning, fantastic music, delightful conclusion... it's a the perfect send off to a series that'll be remembered as a classic.

#09 Ys: The Oath in Felghana | 7.5/10 | PC | 28th Jan | 15.7hrs
First Ys game, and likely won't be the last. Whilst I dislike making the over common comparison to Dark Souls; it's essentially that with an isometric camera and a faster tempo. With varied enemy encounters, some platforming elements, challenging engaging boss fights and a passable story means it gets my recommendation.

#10 NOT A HERO | 6/10 | PC | 29th Jan | 5.4hrs
Take a pinch of Hotline Miami, spin its camera on its side, add a dash of platforming and you've got a charming and challenging action platformer. The style, music and gameplay come together brilliantly with enough wit, gore and a reasonable length for it all to remain fresh and fun until the final mission concludes.

#11 Resident Evil 5 | 7/10 | PC | 6th Feb | 17.5hrs
Compared to Resident Evil 4 it falls short in absolutely every conceivable way but is saved if only by its online co-op component that allows for its overly exaggerated nature to work brilliantly when experienced with a partner. Far too long in the tooth, and with a slew of weak chapters, the game outstays its welcome far before it's weak conclusion.

#12 The Talos Principle | 5/10 | PC | 15th Feb | 17hrs
Played alongside the marvelous The Witness the game falls short of compelling world building or puzzle design. After having put the game down multiple times I finally dragged myself to its conclusion, and as expected the payoff wasn't worth the investment. A game that would have greatly benefited from being a quarter of the length it was.

#13 Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective | 9/10 | 3DS | 23rd Apr | 12hrs
A novel gameplay loop that against all odds continues to expand in complexity and is supported by a intriguing layered story that kept me hooked from start to end. The twists aren't overly apparent and the character development is handled exceptionally well, right to its fantastic revealing conclusion.

#14 What Remains of Edith Finch | 9/10 | PC | 30th Apr | 2.6hrs
Exceptionally creative and beautifuly told short stories walk you through the life of the Finch family in one of the most memorable 'walking simulator' games I've played to date. Whilst extremely short it's a well balanced length not to outstay its welcome, and the variety in storytelling keeps the game fresh from start to end. A recommended storytelling experience for those keen on the genre.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption January 20th

Finally finished the trilogy! I understand why fans have been so desperate for a new game now. Overall I'd say it was my least favorite in the trilogy but it was still such a good game. Both soundtrack and presentation were excellent as is expected from Metroid Prime titles. Didn't enjoy the forced Wiimote gimmicks but I guess it's part of the Wii era's legacy. Really hope Nintendo makes a modern game in this style. Next in the Metroid series I'll be exploring the 2D Metroid titles!

2_acr8laq2.png


Assassin's Creed: Revelations January 21th

To give some context I was a huge fan of AC2 and Brotherhood. Think I 100%'d both of those games. Yet I never played the 4th game in the series till now. I think in a way I was feeling fatigued from too many AC games releasing over short period of time. Yet late last year I felt the urge to play another AC game so decided to go with the next one in order since I already owned it and all. Overall I'd say it's a solid 6/10. Worth playing but honestly it's already so dated in design. Stealth is bad, combat is bad and overall so many of the design choices are bad. Although I have to say soundtrack is once again excellent!

3_trevxyx.png


Rise of the Tomb Raider January 28th

I liked the first game in the rebooted Tomb Raider series so naturally I was excited to give this one a go. Luckily it seems like they managed to improve on almost everything from the first game! I was especially fond of the Siberian winter location. Really strikes a chord with someone living the northern parts of the Earth. I really liked exploring tombs and solving the puzzles there. I actually liked it so much I would have preferred they didn't ramp up the amount of gunplay as much as they did towards the end. Guess it's an AAA sort of thing? It's just that combat is not the game's strongest part. Also would have hoped that the hint system was optional while still retaining the ability to highlight environment objects. DLC from what I saw was largely a cash grab. Drop in quality from the main game.

4_feh8goop.png


Fire Emblem Heroes February 7th

This game wasn't on my radar at all. Yet it was easy to give it a go thanks to the F2P model. I have to say I was surprised. Of course I knew Nintendo isn't going to put out a bad game using their IP but for some reason I didn't expect much from this title. It's in fact pretty fun distraction and nice treat for a fan of the series. Of course story is nonsense and gameplay is much more simplistic than other games in the series but I think it's a good fit for the platform.

5_sdv9ub8f.png


Stardew Valley February 19th

One of my favorite games from last year. Never played Harvest Moon games so can't really compare it to them but I was straight up hooked to this game. It has unique charm and clearly the world has been lovingly crafted. It feels like there is just the right amount things to do. Definitely will return to this (maybe on Switch?) and try to make a prettier farm.

6_vallu4xim.png


VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action 25th February

Probably my least favorite out of the games I played this year. I didn't particularly enjoy writing even if OST and artstyle were very nice. Just never was a huge fan of the "gameplay that is not supposed to be fun" trend that Papers, Please started. Still glad I finished it.

7_civvi72aog.png


Civilization VI 27th February

Civilization is such a fun game. I really enjoyed the games that came before in the series so I was happy to go all in from day 1 with VI. I wasn't happy to notice that it feels even more unpolished than V did at the time. Some inexcusable game breaking bugs and other things that I'm sure are going to be fixed in future patches but as it stands it's not the best experience. Core game is obviously fun and I'm sure I'll get my money's worth eventually but they did lose a bit of my faith this release. That said I will still be looking forward to future DLC and patches that will make me return to it for sure.

8_botwj9yiu.png


The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 29th April

Strangely enough I wasn't that excited for the game before it's launch. I was looking at everyone and people were so out of their minds about this game. For sure it was the next Zelda and that alone is exciting but I didn't quite get what it was that drove people so insane. Well when I started playing I could right away see what people were seeing.

I'd argue BotW managed to construct the best open world I have experienced so far. It feels like everywhere there is a secret to be unveiled or some unexpected event. Playing around with the physics and thinking of your own ways to solve puzzles is so satisfying. It feels like the developers want you to break their creations and it's fun. Combat is best in Zelda game yet and much better than I could have dared to expect. Soundtrack can be minimal but still absolutely spectacular. Graphically especially after the patches it's a wonder what they managed to achieve.

Of course story is whatever but can't say I ever expect much in that area. Will surely be interesting year for me personally! I would expect Super Mario, Splatoon and Zelda be very close to each other when deciding my personal GOTY.

9_skdlc6kup5.png


Shovel Knight: Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment 1st June

My second purchase on Switch just after Zelda! Just perfect fit for the platform. I didn't finish the Plague Knight campaign yet but I'll return to it a bit later. Overall I'd say it's extremely solid platformer and the developers but a lot of effort into something that is essentially free DLC. I didn't quite love it as much as the original Shovel Knight but Specter Knight has fun moveset and I still had fun with the game.

10_abzux9u6l.png


ABZÛ 1st June

This game just looked perfect on my monitor. The use of colors is incredible. I don't remember playing this kind of "undersea adventure" game before so that was something really unique. Maybe for their next game I'd like to see a bit more robust gameplay mechanics but as a "Journey-like" they really nailed it.

11_snakepass7dssy.png


Snake Pass 13th June

I don't know if I would have played the game if it wasn't part of Switch's early library but I'm glad I did! Looks gorgeous on Switch's screen and it's fun twist to 3D platformer genre. Camera feels a bit sluggish but that small blemish aside it was a ton of fun to go through this game.

11_snipperclipstkyhz.png


Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together! 9th July

Game to best convey Switch's unique charm. As a game it's definitely solid fun in a good company. As far as co-op games go didn't enjoy it as much as we enjoyed Overcooked last year but it's still a very charming game in its own right. Similiarly to Breath of the Wild it's rewarding to think of ways to break the puzzles and use those as solutions.

13_splatoon2lwbx3.png


Splatoon 2 5th August

Incredible what they managed to put together in just 2 years. It's the sequel to my favorite game ever I always hoped. Just need to patch some minor annoyances (like how strict the ping based matchmaking is right now). Also excited to see where free updates take this game. Singleplayer wasn't that memorable in my opinion. Not in the same way as it was in first Splatoon. Still fun to play through and I'm glad it's there.

14_clannad0mua1.png


CLANNAD 31st August

Completed this game over 3 months and likely near 100 hours! What a massive visual novel. Heard high praises about this for the longest time and I'm glad I finally got around playing it. Some parts of the story can be a bit dull but everything is building up to those special moments that make CLANNAD. I'm not a huge fan of the artstyle but with music it all comes together nicely. One of those games that made me both cry and laugh at times which is a rather rare feat.
 
#1 Battlefield 1 ★★★★☆ PS4 - Jan 6th - 10+ hours

10 hours and counting. The only multiplayer I'm currently playing. This is my first FPS since Call of Duty 4 back in 2007, for some reason, so due to that I'm having a lot of competitive fun. I'm pretty much only playing team deathmatch, as I'm not a big fan of the 64-player maps and vehicles being used for online.

#2 Hitman ★★★★☆ PS4 - Jan 6th - 10+ hours

So much content in this game. Really fun to figure out the challenges. So far I have 100% Mastery on 3 out of 6 levels. The one thing holding the game back is the OST (some good songs, but overall a lot is generic spy thriller stock music) and the American/British voice actors in all the levels despite being in foreign countries really throws me off at times.

#3 Until Dawn ★★★½☆ PS4 - Jan 9th

I beat this game in two sittings, a little over half on Saturday night, and the rest on Sunday night. All in the dark, with loud volume, etc. I'm wanting to play more horror games, especially in anticipation to Resident Evil 7. The game wasn't scary, but it was a bit tense. It was over-reliant on jump scares which I thought was cheap (the characters prank each other over 15 times) but honestly outside of probably 8 or 9 times, I didn't even get startled. I guess the whole campy teen slasher vibe, plus the fact that you're rarely alone, helped in making it more of a "thriller" game than horror. In a way it was disappointing as I wanted something truly frightening, but it was good enough in creating one of those choose-your-own adventure type stories.

Anyways, the game itself was a lot of fun to play. The story was just OK, I didn't like the mystery. Honestly it would have been better if you didn't play the prologue as the sisters, and if they just went "missing". The mine story from the past was disjointed, and the mystery man ended up being resolved by the 2nd act. However the interactions between the characters was for the most part well done, and the decision-making was as good as in some other games, though not quite up to the level of Life is Strange.

#4 Resident Evil 7 ★★★★☆ PS4 - January 31st

A great return to form. A lot of fun and as soon as I finished I wanted to experience it again (on Madhouse mode, of course). Not perfect; as many have echoed, the final act drops the ball a bit. Some overall disappointments such as
the same enemies throughout the entire game.
Playing the game with headphones revealed a subtle soundtrack that fits really well and adds to the atmosphere. The sound design was incredible throughout the entire game. Some RE staples were present, though I was hoping for more (such as the first person view of an unknown creature following you). Loved the boss fights.

Game #1 - Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator
Time: 3 hours

I bought this for myself and a friend on a whim because it was dirt cheap on sale (less than a dollar) and we proceeded to spend the next 2 hours insulting each other. It was super fun, and the game has a shocking amount of depth and strategy. Its like a faux "fighting" game, where you choose from a list of words to compose phrases to insult each other. There are combos and even combo breakers, characters have weaknesses so you want o try and steal the words that would hurt you most, or that hurt the other character's weakness... like I said, more depth than I expected. There isnt much content, I unlocked all but the secret character and stage (it requires more grind than Im willing to put into it) but what there is there is totally worth the $1.99 base price. I might get back to it now and then but for now I got what I wanted out of it.

header.jpg

Game #2 - Sneaky Sneaky
Time: 3 and half hours

Super cute little stealth puzzle game. I actually ended up getting the best score and all the collectibles on each stage because I got super into perfect runs (the curse of stealth games where you restart as soon as you mke a mistake lol). Its not very long, and its a mobile port, but I thought the mechanics were great and I just love the look of it. Theres a simple level up system to improve your health or damage from your sword and bow, vrious items you unlock throughout the campaign, overall just pleasant little game. Well worth a playthrough, especially if you like stealth games.

header.jpg

Game #3 - Doom (2016)
Time: 10 hours

Doom is almost the perfect game, and no I dont mean that its the best game ever. Its not even my GOTY for 2016, far from it. But its one of the few games I cant say anything bad about, it executes what it sets out to do flawlessly, and is an instant classic. It looks amazing, the gameplay is so fast and frenetic, the weapons feel great, the soundtrack is metal as fuck, its a long ass campaign for a FPS, the level design is terrific, like I said, Is truggle to find something bad to say about it. Its one of those games that we will always easily recomend when someone asks "hey what should I play?". High stakes for the sequel tho, damn.


header.jpg

Game #4 - Hexcells
Time: 3 hours

Holy shit this was addicting. Played it in almost 1 sitting, just had to do one more puzzle and then one more and then... you get the idea. Very similar to Picross games, at least in spirit if not execution. Super mellow, great puzzles, I got 100% in it (no mistakes because I always restarted if I fucked up, like with every pictross game) and cant wait to play the others. Here's a little depressing nugget... I had actually dimissed this series as bundle fodder trash and chucked it in my "completed" category on Steam without even installing it, when I did my "man im not gonna play any of this crap in my lifetime" cleanse of my list. Thank god a gaffer told me they were like Picross / Paint it black, that was a huge fuck up on my part lol.

header.jpg

Game #5 - Hexcells Plus
Time: 10 hours

Welp, that was a disapointment after the first one. Its a much (MUCH) harder game than the first one, and thus, much longer, which im sure the majority will apreciate but for me some of the later puzzles were just an exercise in frustration. The lack of save state (something that is fixed in Infinite it seems) is completely baffling because these puzzles take ages to finish. The new rules did nothign for me, especially the diagonal lines, which basically just gave me a headache from having to tilt my head all the time. Whats next, upside numbers? I was just happy to delete the game when I finished it, which is something you kinda dont want to feel with games lol. Completely turned me off playing the next one unfortunately, since I loved the first. Back to Pain it Back I guess.

header.jpg

Game #6 - Epistory Typing Chroniclaes
Time: 7 hours

Very neat "typing" action rpg, where you basically type words to attack enemies or interract with things in the world. I lvoe the look, mimicking fold out story books, the gameplay is great, if a little daunting if you arent a very good / fast typer (I actually had to turn off the adaptive difficulty because of this), soundtrack is whimsical, and theres a bit off the path zones and secrets to explore and find. Very cool little package that manages to do something different and original, which always scores big points with me.

header.jpg

Game #7 - Beyond Eyes
Time: 2 hours

The most literal of walking simulators, as the little girl you control walks at the slowest pace ever, which got very old very fast (and the game is very short on top). Anyway, the story of a blind girl searching for her cat friend in a visually impressive world where you only "see" whats near you. Some great visual and sound tricks using this theme, but overall, this walking sim did very little for me. Like I said, the gameplay is very slow and bordrline frustrating, and theres little to the story, except the ending which is quite good
and dark
. I continue to be hot and cold on walking sims, as I love some and then others do nothing for me.

header.jpg

Game #8 - Story About my Uncle
Time: 4 and half hours

Great idea, not so great execution is how I would describe Story about my Uncle. For the most part the first person platform / swinging is fine, but there are some terribly frustrating jumps later on in the game that really drag the experience down, as the physics are not always there, the hook doesnt always attach when you expect it, and it all kinda falls apart. It has the same problem that Mirror's Edge had, where its awesome until you stop and lose momentum. Except it doesnt have Mrror's Edge cool character to back it up. Still, its a great looking game, and fun when it works.

header.jpg

Game #9 - Dishonored: Knife of Dunwall
Time: 5 hours

Fantastic DLC to a fantastic game. I forgot how much of a killing sandbox Dishonored is, since I havent played it since I finished it on release back in 2012. The DLC is more of the same, with a focus on Daud this time around. Its very robust, with a bunch of upgrades to collect and huge levels to explore, in fact, I probably could / should have finished it faster but I just have to explore all those levels man. Time to move on to Brigmore Witches then.

header.jpg

Game #10 - Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches
Time: 4 hours

Essencially part 2 of what should have been one giant old school expansion to Dishonored, since both work together to form essencially a full game. Anyway, I liked this one more than the first one, it has better locations and actually some new enemy types. Plus it gets all freaky and supernatural which is cool. Both are amazing DLCs tho, some of the best ive seen in any game, and not only are they totally worth playing, but they actually make Dishonored better game, because it fleshes out Daud's character in ways you had no idea in the main game, and actually makes your decisions in that one much more important. Great stuff.
header.jpg

Game #11 - Jotun
Time: 4 hours

Fantastic action adventure game, with more focus on exploration than actual action. Most of the action in fact comes from the giant bosses you fight, as there is little else in the way of enemies throughout the zones. Its not very long but it still manages to be super varied in the zones it presents, which all come to life with the game's fantastic hand drawn graphics. Cool powers to collect, awesome narration, and a ton of norse mythology lore makes this one of my favorites in while.

header.jpg

Game #12 - Evoland
Time: 3.5 hours

Cute little homage to rpgs over the years, from zelda to final fantasy to diablo. If it was any longer it wouldnt work, but as is it was totally enjoyable. Just dont go in expecting an actual rpg or challenge, just play it for the various homages, both visual and mechanical. I wonder what they did in the sequel, if its more of a "actual" game, because the same schtick wouldnt really work a second time around.

header.jpg

Game #13 - Wolfenstein The Old Blood
Time: 5 hours

Awesome stand alone prequel to New Order, Old Blood has the same great mix of stealth and balls out action that the "full game" had back in 2014. BJ has to recover a important document with the location of Deathhead's compound, and this takes him on a variety of locations in the 4-5 hour campaign. Great weapons, great gameplay, the only real problem I had was that it ran like shit on ultra and I had to bump it down. Great game nontheless, cant wait to see what Machine Head do next.

header.jpg

Game #14 - Power Hover
Time: 2.5 hours

I'm not a big fun of runner style games but I enjoyed this one. The campaign isnt very long, I finished it in a little over 2 hours, even got 3 stars on every level (except the bosses), the levels were fun enough to restart if I missed somehting. I really like the flat shaded look of the game, and the level design is quite good. Except for the boss levels, which are basically random generated levels to see how long you can last (luckily the score you need to get to progress isnt very high), I thought these were by far the worst part of the game and relied more on good RNG on the traps than actual skill. Still, cool little game overall.

header.jpg

Game #15 - Refunct
Time: 22 minutes

Very short but cute first person paltformer that has you restore color to various platform islands. Thats about it, but the music is relaxing, the gameplay is good (wall jumps son!) but it is more "experience" and than game, so it might not be for everyone. Worth a play tho if you get it in a bundle (like I just did in humble bundle).

header.jpg

Game #16 - Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
Time: 2.5 hours

Great little platformer that unfortunately is very short, as I was really into it. The levels are great and look fantastic (well the game whole game does), theres lots of variety in places you visit, but its all over way too soon. You need to collect 7 gems to face the last boss, and it starts off by being 1 gem per zone/boss, but then it rushes near the end and you get 2 gems per zone (each zone is only 2 small levels and a boss usually). Shame because I really liked it. Narration is cool also.

Game #17 - Meltdown
Time: 5 hours

This was a nice surprise, it looked like any other dual stick shooter, but its actually more of a isometric cover based shooter. You can take cover, vault over cover, dodge roll, pretty much everything you can do in a third person shooter, oinly from a top down / isometric view. Finished all 30 missions but the game doesnt really end, its meant to be replayed and level up your character, so you can replay levels or do them with friends (or randoms) online. Theres a bunch of stuff to level, from skill trees, you can buy and then upgrade various weapons and gear, the weapons even have their own little skill trees so you can actually customize how you play the game. Very cool stuff. I also really like the look, but unfortunatly theres pretty much only one tileset (which changes up a bit around level 20 upward) so it can get repetitive.

Game #18 - Final Fantasy XIII
Time: 52 hours

My second playthrough since I had played it on ps3 on release, I liked it then and I like it now... but im not even sure why. I wouldnt exctly defend it against people that hate it, I probably like it for weird reasons. Still, the mmo-style trinity battle system is great once you wrap your head around it, the story is incoherrent anime (bad anime at that) nonsense, but at the same time it has heart, the characters are good (imo), its still gorgeous and the music is fantastic. Like I said, Im not sure why I like it, but I do, quite a bit in fact. Super excited to strt 13-2 which Ive never played.

Game #19 - Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
Time: 11 hours

Absolutely fantastic return to form for Capcom as any doubts I had about the new direction vanished when I played the first hour of the game which was one of the strongest intros ever in a videogame for me. It goes off the rails a bit near the end (and by that I mean it goes "full Resident Evil crazyness" which might disapoint some that just wanted the family stuff) but I didnt mind that, its super creepy, good lenght, the classic RE style gameplay is all there, from puzzles to backtracking to big locales that loop around and have a bunch of weird locked doors, the ammo scarcity (except near the end), it compeltely feels like a RE game but with a fresh coat of paint. Its also the best horror movie homage with stuff from evil dead, poltergeist, texas chainsaw massacre and others in there. Great game, actually considering buying the season pass after that.

header.jpg

Game #20 - Evoland 2
Time: 17 hours

Evoland 2 was easily one of my most pleasant surprises in years really. Would have been a top 10 game in whaever year it came out in tbh (I think 2015 but maybe last year?). Just fantastically crafted, loving homage to gaming throughout the years except this this time unlike the first one (which was more of a proof of concept), theres a great game wraped around it, with a shockingly decent time travel story. Highly recomended.

header.jpg

Game #21 - Final Fantasy IV
Time: 27 hours

Stange relationship with this one, as I lvoed half of it, and absolutely hated the second half, and sincethe bad stuff usually leaves a stronger impression on you, thats the one that is going to stick with me. I enjoyed the first 15 hours or so, really liked the low poly look and the story was fun if a little simple, but I liked a lot of the stuff it was doing mechanically with mixing battles and cut scenes, and the way you constantly changed your party for story reasons. Unfortunately eventually the story becomes super cliche, nobody actually dies which really annoyed me, the whole group is super incompetent, and there is a ridiculous difficulty spike near the end (the last dungeon is probably my least favorite zone in any rpg I can remember), so much so that I just wanted the game to end, which is never a good thing. This is a Final Fantasy game I will never replay again (ironically since its built for multiple playthroughs). Left a really bad taste in my mouth man, I hope 6 brings me back on FF's good graces.

header.jpg

Game #22 - Abzu
Time: 1.5 hours

Conflicted feelings on this one because I loved everything about it as a game, but given how short it is, could never recomend it at its price point. Gorgeous visuals and amazing soundtrack, gameplay is very simple and theres barely any actions to do (some sections where you have to press switches and thats about it), but its a fantastic experience that everyone should go through, if you find it cheap or in a bundle or something.

header.jpg

Game #23 - Paint it Back
Time: 73 hours

Yu, 73 fucking hours. My god that game has a lot of content. To be fair tho, I found out way too late that you could jump straight to master puzzles and it would give you the previous difficulty medals automatically, I was doing every puzzle before that lol. Anyway, amazing picross game that was by far my favorite of the genre. Great puzzles, some are real brain breakers, and just the amount of content in such a low price is unbeatable. One of the goats for sure.

header.jpg

Game #24 - Nights of Azure
Time: 24 hours

I really enjoyed this even tho I dont particularly think its a great game. Action rpg with simple combat (devil may cry this aint) and a cool minion system in bland empty environments, and a story out of a bad 90s anime. But at the same time, the characters are good, the story has heart (especially for dealing with a
gay relationship
, dont let the fan service of the character clothes fool you, this is actually quite subdued and cute instead of sexual), and I liked the loop of going out killing monsters to level up my skills and minions. Also its meaty content wise, lots of sidequests, multiple endings, post game content to get the true ending (which I did), so there's a lot here to enjoy if you get past the fan service and simple combat.

header.jpg

Game #25 - Song Of The Deep
Time: 9 hours

Finished with all upgrades but I missed 2 items (the super versions of 2 of the weapons), 9 hours so decent lenght for the genre (how long to beat had it at 6 for the story but I did a fair bit of exploring for items as usual in these games, those 6 hours must be really rushing). Anyway its a great game, game play is good with great level design, combat feels nice once you get all your tools, except for one particular enemy that shows up late in the game, and the physic-y nature of the game sometimes is a little cumbersome, but overall it plays great. It also looks fantastic with a ton of great depth of field effects. All in all a very worthwhile metroidvania (yes Ill continue to call them that).

header.jpg

Game #26 - They Breathe
Time: 30 minutes

Err... what? So I didnt like They Breathe at all, and baffled by the critical acclaim it has, I thought I was missing some deep metaphor the game was trying to tell or something, but no, even the devs say its just what you see, some weird ass alien thing is taking over frogs. For something touted as a horror game and a deep experience, im here left scratching my head because I played a 30min simple game to collect bubbles while avoiding enemies, and that was it, it did nothing for me, neither did it creep me out, left me wondering, or even satisfied me with gameplay. Huge dud imo :/

header.jpg

Game #27 - Zombo Buster Rising
Time: 2 hours

Neat little PvZ style lane defense game, there's not much to it but its fun for its short duration. Cute graphics, action-y gameplay since you are doing a lot of the aiming yourself, just a cool little time waster, well worth playing if you like the genre.

header.jpg

Game #28 - Thirty Flights of Loving
Time: 12 minutes

Super short story that unfortunately did nothing for me. The narrative, what there is of it, is incoherent rabble jumping you from scene to scene like its trying to be a Tarantino movie or something, there a little interaction but none that matters (its basically a walking simulator, and I dont even dislike those, I loved Stanley Parabale, Gone Home and others), its not a looker by any means but it does have a style I guess, even if I didnt like the style, and the whole thing is over in 10 minutes. Complete dud.

header.jpg

Game #29 - Hot Tin Roof The Cat That Wore a Fedora
Time: 4 hours

Man what a huge dissapointment this turned out to be. A 2d side scrolling adventure about a series of cases you and your cat partner need to solve in a cool noir-ish hgumsho detective setting. The ame felt super janky from the start but I was able to voerlook it becaus eI was into the adventure part and the writing, but about halfway through it starts to rely more on actual paltforming and it just falls apart because, it just plays horribly. It also gets super confusing near the end, so much so that the devs had to patch in a way to bypass something near the end (you can buy an item to do it), thats how fucked it gets. Real shame because I was super into it in the first couple of hours.


header.jpg

Game #30 - Spaceport Hope
Time: 4.5 hours

Short but neat little metroidvania, with what seems to be a big focus on collecting stuff because there was a lot of zones I ended up not even going to, because the game just abrubtly ended. Still, for $1 (or 25cents currently on sale lol), its quite good for what you pay, the graphics are pixel art-y, kinda rekind me of cave story, there's lots of weapons, the story is weak but thats not really the focus of these games in the end. Far from the best of the genre, still, if you are a metroidvania nut and want another one, its notterrible.

header.jpg

Game #31 - Titanis
Time: 2.5 hours

Mediocre 2d sidescrolling shooting game with a cool skill tree with various powers to get and a varety of levels with objectives and side objectives to complete. The whole thing feels like a flash game, from the looks to how it plays, but I give it credit for trying at least, it has a little post apocalypse story going on, like I said the skill tree is cool, and its perfectly playable, its just...not very good. Its short tho, so theres that. Im stuck in this streak of short, not very good games because I dont want to start anything big before Hollow Knight, and its kinda bumming me out lol.

header.jpg

Game #32 - Reverse Crawl
Time: 2.5 hours

This is more like it! Don't let the awful name fool you, this is a super fun little strategy rpg, with a ton of different units, great art style, and doesnt overstay its welcome. The battles remind me alot of the King's Bounty series, if a little more simplefied. There is a NG+ and a endless mode when you finish (a campaign isnt very long, 2-3 hours at most). I had a great time with it and would recomend it to anyone that likes the Kings Bounty or just strategy rogs in general.

Guess I'll give it a shot. I am notorious for not finishing games, so my friends and family tease me about it. I don't know if I can do 52 but I'll try my best!

1. Killzone Shadowfall (PS4) - Completed 1/1/17 - I got this at launch, played maybe two chapters of it and set it aside. Decided to come back and give it a while after beating FFXV and Dark Souls 2: Scholar. I wasn't something different than what I'd just played, so figured and FPS may be a good start and it'll take one out of my backlog. Overall, it was...ok. Gunplay felt inaccurate at times and the last two chapters are some of the most frustrating levels I've played in a very long time.

#1 Wolfenstein: The New Order ★★★★ PS4 - Jan 3rd - 10 hours
Great game to start the year, great narrative and characters, fun dual wielding weapons and a decent length. Played on the 2nd hardest difficulty and didn't have too much trouble so one day I'd like to play it on the hardest mode

Xgd8vCu.png

#2 Boom Blox ★★★ Wii - Jan 4th - 4 hours
I did all the explore levels and some of the adventures ones but didn't like those as much so I feel I got my fill after what I played. Some very creative and fun physics puzzles but sometimes the controls felt unresponsive and I got bored fairly quickly with adventure mode

RlXzwJz.png

#3 Devil May Cry 4 ★★★★ PS3 - Jan 5th - 7 hours
7 hours well spent with DMC4, in fact I enjoyed it so much I played it in 2 sittings. I think it falls below DMC3 because of the backtracking but it's my 2nd favourite, the combat is on another level. Now where's DMC5?

2ZPpyZq.png

#4 Ratchet and Clank: Nexus ★★★.5 PS3 - Jan 7th - 6.30 hours
Short but good entry in the series, frame rate drops below 30 is disappointing coming off the 60fps games. Got all the collectables, might go back and play it on challenge mode one day and get the platinum.

18EUXxR.png

#5 Mario Kart 7 ★★★★ 3DS - Jan 9th - 9 hours
All cups won but I'll still keep playing every now and then, great entry in the series, always had a preference for handheld Mario Kart

jsOBpFR.png

#6 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes ★★★★ Wii - Jan 10th - 12 hours
This one took a while to get through, doesn't quite live up to MP1 but still a great game, biggest problems were just the annoyances such as the dark world, the enemies taking a long time to kill and the ammo system. The backtracking wasn't as fun as the first game either, some areas were real slogs to get through. I'll be honest I used a walkthrough for many parts in 2nd half of the game to stop myself getting lost and annoyed and overall I enjoyed it that way. Don't want to sound like I didn't like it, I liked it a lot! Have to say as a GC game it looks better than a lot of Wii games too

yZpPqRf.png

#7 Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction ★★★.5 Xbox - Jan 12th - 6.30 hours
GTA clone with the chaos turned up to 11. I totally used cheats to make this one more fun and more managable, it gets seriously hard later on! Did the main missions without messing around in the map too much, blowing stuff up is fun but it gets old

K31cNra.png

#8 Star Fox Command ★★★ DS - Jan 13th - 2.30hrs
This game is fun once you get a hang on the controls but it only takes 90 mins to beat, there are mulitple endings but the mission structure is very repetitive so I stopped after my 2nd ending

UfSIGIs.png

#9 Gears of War 3 ★★★★ Xbox 360 - Jan 15th - 7 hours
Really enjoyed this one, appreciated the brighter colour pallet and locations and the combat feels tighter than before. Also it's a real looker for a 360 game.

q6TUn84.png

#10 Gravity Rush Remastered ★★★★ PS4 - Jan 16th - 13 hours
Bought this after playing the sequels demo and liked it enough to get the platinum trophy!

Yj9Y5cw.png

#11 Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb ★★★ Xbox - Jan 17th - 6 hours
This game has some good ideas but is let down by the stiff controls and the framerate. The hand to hand combat is actually quite good, I like disarming people with the whip but towards the end of the game it gives you a load of ammo and encourages you just to shoot everyone. There is one tank boss right near the end of the game that is one of the most frustrating levels I've ever played

ehmL6Br.png

#12 Spyro Enter the Dragonfly ★★★ PS2 - Jan 18th - 4 hours
Again there is a fairly decent game hidden under the low framerate and glitches. The levels are massive but often feel empty and the difference breath powers are pretty much pointless as you use fire through 95% of the game. Obviously needed more time in the oven but it's as much a spyro game as year of the dragon which I don't care for that much.

ExfveQ6.png

#13 Dead Rising ★★★.5 Xbox 360 - Jan 23rd - 20 hours
Dead Rising took a while to get into, it has a really high learning curve when you first start but once you figure it out it's not too bad. The survivor AI seriously sucks and makes it a pain in the arse rescuing more than 1 person at a time. My first playthrough I focused on getting as many survivors as I could, then my 2nd I beat all the cases and overtime mode. It's an ambitious game for the time and I liked it but I don't wanna see another zombie for a while.

1GBTvHR.png

#14 Star Wars Episode III Revenge Of The Sith ★★.5 Xbox - Jan 24th - 3.30 hours
Incredibly average action game, less than 4 hours to beat and definitely not as good as I remember it 12 years ago lol. Gets slightly better towards the end when you get more powerful but still zzzz

qbAUpur.png

#15 Lego The Lord of The Rings ★★★.5 PS3 - Jan 25th - 7 hours
Enjoyable yet a little simple, if I didn't love LOTR maybe I would have liked it less but worth a playthrough for fans, big game with loads of collectables. Having the OST means this also has the best music of any game.

8tC91wx.png

#16 Ratchet: Gladiator ★★★★ PS2 - Jan 27th - 6.30 hours
For some reason I never played this game even being a big R&C fan, maybe because none of the other spin offs are that great but this is the real deal, shooting things in R&C games is always fun and wow forced vehicle sections that don't completely suck!

aOGFlSQ.png

#17 Rayman 3D ★★★★ 3DS - Jan 27th - 6.30 hours
Based on the best version of Rayman 2 (Dreamcast) but can't quite handle it at a good framerate, it's still one of my favourite games of all time and as I'm able to play this one on the bus, I can look over the less than great performance.

OHOPIC5.png

#18 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 ★★★.5 PS3 - Jan 30th - 6.30 hours
It's alright

H862SmM.png

#19 Spider-Man ★★ Xbox - Jan 29th - 2.30 hours
It's shit

XPtnQeb.png

#20 Resident Evil ★★★.5 PS1 - Feb 1st - 5.30 Hours
Hard but enjoyable, can't say I liked the saving system or small inventory but I get why it's like that. I prefer Silent Hill on the PS1 but I'll try RE2 sometime

wfez9wy.png

#21 Heavenly Sword ★★★.5 PS3 - Feb 3rd - 5.30 hours
Pretty good although they really should have prioritised a stable framerate over graphics..I never beat this when I played it like 9 years ago because the final boss was too hard, well it's still hard but I got it eventually. Nice seeing Andy Serkis in a game.

qWDdhha.png

#22 Far Cry 2 ★★★★ PC - Feb 8th - 10 hours
Love this game despite the flaws, though its certainly not one you can replay often

dyYIgT0.png

#23 Dante's Inferno ★★★.5 Xbox 360 Feb 8th - 6 hours
I can't believe Sony let a God of War game on the Xbox 360! Pretty good aside from the zero innovation and slightly shallow combat.

301rEbO.png

#24 Assassin's Creed Revelations ★★★ PS3 - Feb 12th - 7.30 hours
I liked the dungeon bits and the Altair levels, everything else was whatever

Hjhg53A.png

#25 Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex ★★★ Xbox - Feb 14th - 4 hours
Same reason why I'm not a big fan of Crash 3, too many vehicle levels and gimmicks. The hit detection sucks as do the bosses. The few normal platforming levels are decent but look empty. Game looks quite good on the Xbox

cyYXYJ5.png

#26 Haze ★★.5 PS3 - Feb 17th - 5 hours
I'm trying to think of some memorable moments from Haze but my memory is a little.....foggy.
Has some parts that are genuinely fun, then long stretches devoid of any fun at all.

zTxMNj4.png

#27 God of War ★★★★★ PS3 - Feb 20th - 5 hours
One of my favourite games of all time, I know it like the back of my hand

izUIwx8.png

#28 Spec Ops: The Line ★★★.5 PS3 - Feb 25th - 6 hours
Competent shooter with a good story, it does fall short of greatness due to lack of originality in the gameplay but it's worth checking out

UdOK9cB.png

#29 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD ★★★★ Wii U - March 1st - 14 hours
Wanted to give this another playthrough before BOTW, was rushing through the main quest at first before I realised all the side stuff you have to do to beat the game anyway!

fbbDgCA.png

#30 Crysis 2 ★★★ Xbox 360 - March 3rd - 6 hours
Killed a few hours, and a few brain cells. Not as good as the first one but the aliens fights are better at least. Just pretty boring whenever you're not shooting something.

gl1VbfH.png

#31 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ★★★★★ Wii U - March 17th - 62 hours
Finally another update. Whew what a game, it's been a long time since a game made me play nothing but it for a whole 2 weeks. It's quicker to mention the few things I didn't like such as the rain being annoying, poor framerate and the map being sliiightly too big with a lot of big areas with hardly anything there, other than that, loved it

FYbSbyX.png

#32 The Evil Within ★★★.5 PS4 - March 20th - 9 hours
Was pretty unimpressed with the first few hours but it picked up and I enjoyed it overall

Ey3Qt0m.png

#33 Spongebob Squarepants - Battle for Bikini Bottom ★★★.5 Xbox - March 25th - 6 hours
Decent Mario 64 clone, looks and plays very well, nearly all the real voice actors apart from Mr Krabs who sounds fucking terrible lol

iiGl3ki.png

#34 Half-Life ★★★★ PC - March 2th - 5 hours
Still as good as ever, still don't like Xen and still have trouble going down ladders

OlYMFyX.png

#35 Onimusha 3 ★★★★ PS2 - March 30th - 7 hours
This game has Jean Reno, that's all. All 3 of these games were excellent, the series needs to make a comeback.

rGhOObi.png

#36 Halo: Reach ★★★.5 Xbox 360 - March 30th - 5 hours
It was decent, if you've played any of the others you've pretty much played this. The Halo games don't do that much for me but they are more fun in co-op

YPUHZoD.png

#37 The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ★★★.5 Xbox 360 - April 3rd - 16 hours
I liked the story n all that but the combat didn't click for me at all. Encountered a few bugs which made me revert to older saves

1to8kRe.png

#38 Splinter Cell Conviction ★★★★ Xbox 360 - April 4th - 4.30 hours
This was really fun, doesn't compare to the old Splinter Cell games stealth wise but as its own thing I had a blast. It's too short and easy on Normal difficulty though

lPisU3R.png

#39 Shadow Complex Remastered ★★★★ PS4 - April 8th - 5 hours
Very good Metroidvania, ended a bit abruptbly as I beat the final boss while I was still looking for key parts without realising it was the final boss lol. I thought I needed those key parts to beat the game!

B838TOB.png

#40 New Super Mario Bros ★★★.5 DS - April 20th - 4.30 hours
Bah Bah

#41 Final Fantasy XV ★★★.5 PS4 - April 20th - 28.30 hours
So close to giving this a higher score but the 2nd half of the game was a bit of a turd, I liked the open world stuff a lot even if I did get a bit burnt out by doing so many sidequests. The story is wack but I liked the 4 characters and the combat was the main thing that kept me going.

#42 Bioshock Infinite ★★★ PS3 - April 24th - 7 hours
It was okay, the combat encounters felt like a step down from the other games with big wide areas that encourage you to snipe from a distance. Elizabeth aside from giving you ammo might as well not exist, which she doesn't according to the enemies who ignore her completely. Skyhooks were cool.

#43 Dark Souls III ★★★★ PS4 - April 28th - 20 hours
Excellent as you except from Dark Souls but definitley shorter than I expected, did all the optional bosses and never had much trouble aside from the NK. Maybe the pacing was a bit off as it didn't seem to have a clear mid point like the others.

#44 X-Men Origins: Wolverine ★★★.5 - Xbox 360 - May 4th - 7 hours
One of the good movie based games of last gen, doesn't hold back with the violence. Tearing guys to shreds is fun but the pacing is a little off in the middle and it outstays its welcome slightly.

#45 Sly Cooper HD ★★★.5 - PS3 - May 4th - 4 hours
Loved the presentation and the style, didn't love the dodgy hit dectection or the minigames. If you don't go for 100% you can beat it in one sitting too. Did enough for me to check out the sequel though.

#46 Catherine ★★★.5 PS3 - May 12th - 12 hours
Interesting game with a pretty enjoyable story (that goes a bit batshit in the final act) I'm pretty rubbish at the puzzles so I played on Easy but I do like the gameplay. I had a bit of a Tetris Effect where I saw Catherine-like puzzles in a real dream I had, not unlike the plot :S

#47 Nier ★★★ Xbox 360 - May 12th - 16 hours
This...is a weird one. On my first playthrough I sort of enjoyed it, the characters were fairly good and I was interested to see where it was going but the gameplay was meh. I knew that you were supposed to play it twice to get the whole experience but during the 2nd playthrough I was getting sick of the boring gameplay and just rushed through, the new added scenes were interesting but I honestly expected the game to change more in the 2nd playthrough the way people talked about it. I ended up watching endings 3 and 4 on YouTube. The story got very melodramatic too. I liked the soundtrack.

#48 The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning ★★★ PS2 - May 18th - 5 hours
I remember really wanting this game when it came out, didn't really miss much. Presentation is quite good, having Elijah Woods and Gary Oldman is pretty cool but the game is repetitive as fuck, just spamming the same moves over and over.

Lojburv.png

#49 Rune ★★★★ PC - May 18th - 5 hours
Aw yea this game is cool. I had it on PS2 years ago but I think that version was a bit shitty. PC version seems much better. The game is atmospheric as fuck, you chop heads off like there's no tomorrow and you can eat lizards. Nuff said

YQHHs5B.png

#50 Titan Quest ★★★.5 - PC - May 25th - 19 hours
Good dungeon crawler, played it on and off for years but never finished it, it does go on a bit and by the final part I was ready for it to end

VCp4Vcd.png

#51 Resident Evil 2 ★★★★ - PS1 - May 25th - 7 hours
Builds on all the good points from the first game and adds more fun. Pacing is excellent, you're never too far away from an item box and great replay value with all the different playthroughs, I did Leon A and Claire B.

jsqxVFE.png

#52 Titanfall 2 ★★★★ - Xbox One - May 28th - 6 hours
One of the best shooter campaigns of recent years, pacing is good, titan fights are fun and there's that one level that just elevates the whole experience. I just wish it wasn't so short.

e027ciV.png

#53 Call of Duty Ghosts ★★.5 - PS3 - June 3rd - 5 hours
As far as COD campaigns go, this was pretty bad. Quite ugly and boring.

VQIgcju.png

#54 Darksiders ★★★.5 PS3 - June 8th - 12 hours
Decent Zelda clone, got a bit sick of the last dungeon and the combat, spamming the same moves over and over. Lacked originality when it came to gameplay and items and such

oH6FvgV.png

#55 Dragon Age: Origins ★★★★ PS3 - June 17th - 28 hours
Decided to replay this, not perfect but the good outweighs the bad. I only find the combat bearable playing as a mage. Fuck the Deep Roads.

5kB2R4a.png

#56 Pokemon Black Version ★★★★ DS - June 25th - 44 hours
I really like gen 5, its much faster than 4, the story line is pretty good and there's a lot of fun post game content to do

KY08QQ1.png

#57 Super Metroid ★★★★ SNES - July 2nd - 8 hours
Great game, excellent level design other than a few parts later on that were difficult to figure out. Controls are a little iffy in some regards but overall a game everybody should play.

oxcpCP9.png

#58 Far Cry 4 ★★★ PS4 - July 18th - 14 hours
Starts off alright but quickly gets boring. Took me months to finish because I could only stand to play a short amount at a time.

71uLake.png

#59 Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars ★★★★ 3DS - July 18th - 22 hours
Really underrated strategy game, story and graphics are dull but what counts is excellent.

E9HkwWX.png

#60 Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure ★★★.5 DS - July 26th - 15 hours
Oozes charm and has a lot of good ideas but the more you play the less good it gets. Levels start to get too long and the difficulty spikes towards the end, sort of outstays its welcome.

s5LwfeL.png

#61 Super Mario 64 DS ★★★★ DS - July 29th - 12 hours
Controls let it down a bit but playing on 3ds is a bit nicer on the thumb. Otherwise a classic game and playing as Luigi is great

xNsjhAw.png

#62 Final Fantasy XII The Zodaic Age ★★★★ PS4 - July 31st - 40 hours
Really good remaster, the x2 speed is a lifesaver for grinding. With JRPGs I sort of zone out of the story around half way as the story starts getting a bit shit

V3nEnrM.png

#63 Escape Plan ★★★ PS4 - August 3rd - 2.30 hours
Some interesting puzzles and nice presentation but really short and easy

I4R1ntb.png

#64 Valiant Hearts The Great War ★★★★ PS4 - August 7th - 5 hours
Beautiful presentation and a moving story, it's pretty unchallenging but I never lost interest in the gameplay

gXxS3GX.png

#65 God of War II ★★★★★ PS3 - August 17th - 8 hours
Probably the best God of War game but the main 3 are all so close

DuHIOqS.png

#66 God of War: Chains of Olympus ★★★★ PS3 - August 21st - 7 hours
Played the shit out of this on the PSP, first time playing it in HD. It holds up, for a PSP game its fantastic but my god is it short. Just over 3 hours. Played through the challenges and then hard mode after to get the platinum

qMYP2Ir.png

#67 Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue ★★★★ PS1 - August 26th - 4 hours
NEED SOME COINS HERE BUZZ!
Played the hell out of this game as a kid but could never beat it, well it's pretty easy so I guess I sucked. Great levels, tight controls, kick ass soundtrack

3LYdBQ0.png

#68 Half-Life: Opposing Force ★★★.5 PC - August 26th - 3.30 hours
This game is hard but fun hard. Cool selection of weapons but it was over way too quick

UM5RfJc.png

#69 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ★★★★.5 PS4 - September 1st - 35 hours
Always a blast to play this, got the platinum trophy which wasn't too difficult

P0pGwXJ.png

#70 Deathspank ★★★.5 PS3 - September 4th - 6.30 hours
Bought this years ago when it came out but hardly touched it til now, good little ARPG, funny dialogue, some light puzzle solving and addictive gameplay, too short though even to get 100%

2oy5CjK.png

#71 Hotline Miami ★★★.5 PC - September 8th - 2.30 hours
Stylish and fun while it lasts, some levels towards the end felt like easiest way was to lure all the guys into one corridor and shoot them which felt a bit wrong. The game wouldn't feel nearly as good if the restarts weren't instantaneous so points for that.

9is9A7z.png

#72 Pokemon Red ★★★★.5 3DS - September 8th - 19 hours
Nice replaying this without having to dish out a catridge with a dogdy battery slot. Played it so many times I have to go with weird teams so it doesn't get boring

x8CN7rn.png

#73 Bayonetta ★★★★.5 Wii U - September 26th - 22 hours
Played it a few times before but never went past normal mode so this time I played it twice to beat it on hard and the game gets even better on hard mode with the new enemy placements and such. Felt more appreciation for the game after. Couldn't do much in infinite climax tho

xa2hn7P.png

#74 Dark Souls ★★★★.5 PS3 - October 4th - 40 hours
Another replay, twice actually. First run I went for the big butchers knife which was fun, first time doing the DLC too which I was pretty over levelled for. Then I went for a magic build which I'd never done before, lots of grinding but once you get the stuff you need, its OP as hell

KpLqMd2.png

#75 Demon's Souls ★★★★.5 PS3 - October 7th - 10 hours
It's hard to decide whether demon's or dark souls is better but I think I lean slightly towards Demon's. Dark has higher highs but lower lows, the art direction and level design is slightly better in DeS, I find the bosses easier but the levels harder too.

eZplMks.png

#76 Everybody's Tennis ★★★★ PSP - October 20th - 11 hours
Pretty great tennis game with rpg elements, just when the game is getting too easy they put you against a boss who you have to change up your playstyle to beat

BajtA4c.png

#77 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis ★★★★ PS1 - October 21st - 5 hours
Almost as good as the 2nd one though I liked having 2 characters in that one. Still good stuff.

This is my first time trying this, hope I can do it
The rating is a rough measure of how much I have enjoyed the game.

I wish that PS4 had a way to track hours played. For games where I can't find the playtime or where it doesn't show the playtime of all my playthroughs, I will give a rough estimate (e.g. c.20h). I won't list games that I have started before 2017 unless a significant amount of playtime was after 2017

Games Completed: 8/52

1. Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance (PS4, Playtime: 59h 38m) Platinum obtained Rating: 4/5

2. √Letter (PS4, Playtime: c.10h) Platinum obtained Rating: 4/5

3. Telltales' Batman (PS4, Playtime: c.10h) Platinum obtained Rating: 2/5

4. Day of the Tentacle Remastered (PS4, Playtime: c.5h) Platinum obtained Rating: 3/5

5. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth (PS4, Playtime: 46h 39m) Platinum obtained Rating: 5/5

6. The Deadly Tower of Monsters (PS4, Playtime: 4h 56m) Platinum obtained Rating: 2/5

7. AdVenture Capitalist(PS4, Playtime: c. 8h) 100% Trophies Rating: 3/5

8. Sword Art Online: The Lost Song (PS4, Playtime: 20-21h) Platinum obtained Rating: 4/5

First summary with impressions

Let's do this. Hoping to finish this for the 4th year in a row but planning on a little WoW this year so it could be tough!

1: Xanadu Next - 18 hours, completed JAN 1
Picked this up based on a recommendation and I really enjoyed. The gameplay was a little hard to get used to at first but it has that unique Japanese style to it that really made the game for me. I would love a modern version of this style of game.

2: Super Mario Run - 5 hours, completed JAN 5
I don't know why I thought I would like this as I usually hate playing games on my phone. I played the all the levels and then half-heartedly went for some coins and got bored after the pinks.

3: Diablo III - 15 hours, completed JAN 8
Did the Diablo I anniversary event and season leveling. The anniversary event was neat but a little too much grinding to get all the unique mobs made it a little less fun.

4: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ - 40 hours, completed JAN 21
I won't really be "done" with this game as I play it all year but I have finished all the expansion content. Some of the shit like greedier mode were total shit but looking forward to the cool mods that people make.

5: World of Warcraft - 30 hours, completed JAN 22
Finished the base game, onto the Burning Crusade. The old world revamp wasn't as interesting as I hoped but better than nothing.

6: World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - 20 hours, completed JAN 25
Whew, that was a slog. After having done this content so many times it felt like a chore more than anything.

7: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - 15 hours, completed JAN 28
Just as cool of an expansion as I remembered. Definitely coming back here after leveling to revisit some old raids.

8: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - 10 hours, completed JAN 31
I found the Cataclysm stuff to be a little underwhelming. It was probably a lot more epic at the time but I wasn't a big fan of any of the zones. Going to come check out the raid stuff eventually though to see good ol' Ragnaros.

9: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria - 10 hours, completed FEB 2
The last of the old zones I had seen several years ago. Really interesting playing through all the expansions in order and seeing what an upgrade Pandaria is. Looking forward to Draenor.

10: World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor - 15 hours, completed FEB 6
From what I hear, this was a pretty boring expansion when it was new but experiencing it in short bursts I found it to be quite fun.

11: Watch Dogs 2 - 20 hours, completed FEB 11
Man, I am conflicted about this game. I really like the characters, setting and tone (despite some of the over the top cheese) but the gameplay felt like a chore. I think if the mission checkpoints were better I might not feel as negatively about the gameplay; replaying 20 minute missions because you die while escaping sucks ass.

12: World of Warcraft: Legion - 40 hours, completed FEB 20
Really enjoyed this expansion so far and looking forward to getting into some mythic content.

13: 8-Bit Bayonetta - 1 hour, completed APR 1
Look, this was a short promo game but my arm is killing me from getting all the achievements so it is going on the list damn it.

14: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 70+ hours, completed APR 16
While I still have many more hours I plan on playing, I am calling this one done as Ganon is dead. I found this one to be a slow start that I wasn't sure if I was actually enjoying. After I got into the groove of things I absolutely fell in love with the game. It sets the bar for what open world games should feel like and I hope more developers give players the kind of freedom seen here.

15: Mass Effect Andromeda - 41 hours, completed APR 20
What a massive soulless, disappointment of a game. I think I am done with Bioware as they just keep putting out worse games.

16: Horizon: Zero Dawn - 52 hours, completed MAY 7
What a fucking amazing game, I loved pretty much everything about it. Really looking forward to potential DLC but thought the post-credit thing was kind of dumb.

17: Cosmic Star Heroine - 14.5 hours, completed MAY 14
Great RPG with a nice length to get in over the weekend. Really loved the battle system but it felt like there were a couple too many characters so I made a party and stuck with it through most of the game.

18: Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel - 4 hours, completed MAY 22
Really short DLC but fun for the most part. It might be because I am doing this content for the first time on a higher NG+ but FROM's DS3 obsession with multiple phase, damage sponge, healthbar refilling bosses is getting really old.

19: Dark Souls III: The Ringed City - 7 hours, completed MAY 26
This was a MUCH better DLC (except stupid fucking Midir constantly jumping away) and was really fun to explore. All in all, I think I am ready for a Dark Souls break and am glad this was the end rather than Ashes. I'll have to go watch some lore videos or something though as I had no idea what the fuck was going on as per usual.

20: Soda Dungeon - 8 hours, completed MAY 27
More entertaining than you average idle/clicker game but I was definitely bored by the end.

21: Diablo III (Necromancer) - 12 hours, completed MAY 28
Got access to the Necromancer beta and did another full playthrough of the game and some high level greater rifts. The class seems decent but not $20 good. Will be interested to see how balancing turns out and if they add any extra content for the cost.

22: Monster Slayer - 14 hours, completed MAY 29
When i first started this game I was really loving it! After about 10 hours, you start to see how shallow and incredibly poorly balanced it is. If the devs actually balanced this so different strats for the different classes mattered then it would be a lot better.

23: Dragon Quest VIII - 51 hours, completed JUN 4
Finally finished this beast and what a game! I can see why this is a lot of people's favorite DQ game. While I like all the ones I have played for different reasons, I think this one will always stick out just a little more to me.

24: The Surge - 20 hours, completed JUN 9
Fuck this fucking game. Killed the cheesy as fuck last boss, as soon as the ending starts, the game fucking crashes and I lost the progress. Thoroughly mediocre throughout with it painfully obvious that they learned very little from Lords of the Fallen shit tier endgame. I am done with this game and any future souls like game these devs try to make again.

25: Star Trek - 6 hours, completed JUN 10
Really repetitive and clunky controls kept this from being a good game but co-op made it at least tolerable. It was interesting to play a game form that older generation and remember just how far games have come since then.

26: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 31 hours, completed JUL 2
First time playing through this and I had a good time but probably the inverse of most people. I played Majora's Mask first so seeing most of the assets again in a less interesting setting somewhat diminished the story. Nonetheless, it is easy to see why this is called an all-time great, especially given the time when it came out.

27: Pony Island - 3 hours, completed JUL 3
Boy, this was fucking weird.

28: Undertale - 6 hours, completed JUL 4
I think this might be a case of the hype from rabid fans really setting expectations too high for me. It was a complete flop that felt thoroughly mediocre throughout. The soundtrack did have a couple real bangers though.

29: Cross of the Dutchman - 2 hours, completed JUL 7
A charming game with an interesting story that was ultimately a rather boring game to playthrough. It did spark my interest in the subject matter though which I spent some time researching after which I don't get from many games.

30: The Deer God - 3 hours, completed JUL 9
This feels like a game made for people who are high. The art style was phenomenal but the game play started to feel tedious and it was only a 3 hour game!

31: Dragon Age Inquisition: The Descent - 8 hours, completed JUL 21
I got the GOTY game for $5 so I decided to finally check out all the DLC. Thye Descent was a cool dungeon crawl type of DLC that was a nice break froma ll the open-world stuff. The story in here got a bit weird at the end but overall I liked it.

32: Dragon Age Inquisition: Jaws of Hakkon - 9 hours, completed JUL 22
THis was a nice change of pace from Descent and just enough open world without overstaying its welcome. A bit disappointed with how easy the dragon was but overall a solid entry in the DLC.

33: Dragon Age Inquisition: Trespasser - 7 hours, completed JUL 23
By the end of this DLC, the combat had started to feel tiresome, hopefully the next Dragon Age actually has good combat that holds up. The story stuff was great as I had heard and I am really looking forward to the next entry now.

34: Path of Exile - 20 hours, completed AUG 14
Finished the base game playthrough and moving to the expansion now. Mixed feelings on it, I can see endgame might be fun but the leveling and campaign are kind of boring.

35: Path of Exile: The Fall of Oriath - 20 hours, completed AUG 23
More of the same really, time to see how endgame looks.

36: Diablo 3: Rise of the Necromancer - 15 hours, completed AUG 28
Path of Exile wasn't really doing it for me so decided to finally get around to the Necromancer stuff in D3. So far, there are a lot of really great improvements and Necormancer feels fun to play. I made it through the initial season journey and will hopefully complete all the season chapters this time.

37: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age - 60 hours, completed SEP 4
After getting to the end but never finishing this when it originally came out, I am glad to have this wrapped up. The last 2 dungeons were pretty freaking bad which kind of put a damper on my enthusiasm. Regardless, I am looking forward to the inevitable PC release when I will be doing all of the optional stuff I passed on this go. Also, would it kill Basch to run a fucking comb through his hair before the end of the game?

38: Titanfall 2 - 8 hours, completed SEP 10
Finally got around to playing this and it was worth the time. The campaign was incredible and felt like an evolution of the Half Life style of shooter. I will probably pick this up on a sale just to support the team's work since I played it on Origin Access.

39: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Pirate Queen's Quest - 3 hours, completed SEP 10
Luckily, I got this for free, because I was rather disappointed with it. Wayforward billed it as a whole new adventure when really it was just a reskin and remix of the main game. It was fun enough but if I paid the retail price for this I would have felt like I got ripped off.

40: Divinity: Original Sin 2 - 80 hours, completed OCT 1
An excellent follow up to the original Original Sin from Larian. Act 4 was a bit of a drag but overall this was a phenomenal game made even better with co-op.

41: Metroid: Samus Returns - 12 hours, completed OCT 7
I didn't plan on playing anymore 3DS games but after the reviews I decided to pick this one up. The game was absolutely fantastic (3ds slider controls aside) and reminded me why so many games have followed this formula. Really looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 now that I have spent some time with the series again.

42: SteamWorld Dig 2 - 8.5 hours, completed OCT 8
What an awesome game. I finished this one the same day I started and I was still bummed when it ended. Image and Form have made each subsequent game even better somehow; I can't wait to see what they do next.

43: Somewhere Out There - 1.5 hours, completed OCT 9
Even thought it was short, this was one of those games I wasn't sure I would finish because of how bad I was at it. Luckily, the teleport jumping started to click at the end for me.

Completed 39/52:

header.jpg


1 - Assassin's Creed (PC/Steam) (3/1/17) (9:02hrs according to Raptr) 3/10, I didn't like the game at all. Boring, repetitive, awful combat, terrible ending.


header.jpg


2 - Resident Evil Revelations (PC/Steam) (13/1/17) (Roughly 8 hours) 6/10, fun game but awful story, characters and writing. I'll try raid mode later, as I heard it's great.


header.jpg


3 - Limbo (PC/Steam) (15/1/17) (Roughly 3 hours) 9/10, creepy game, it frightened me more than Resident Evil Revelations, and the puzzles, albeit tough, were fun and rewarding.


header.jpg


4 - The LEGO Movie Videogame (PC/Steam) (20/1/17) (10:17hrs according to Raptr) 7/10, really great game held back by lots of game breaking bugs. Shame.


header.jpg


5 - Star Wars Starfighter (PC/gog) (22/1/17) (No idea, the gog client didn't track the time, nor Raptr. I assume around 5 hrs?) 2/10, it was a dull, generic and terrible written 5/10 game before the insane difficulty spike in the last mission, which made me repeat it several times until I gave up and lowered the difficulty. Then, after 3-4 tries I was able to complete the game. Not fun at all.


header.jpg


6 - Shadowgate (PC/Steam) (26/1/17) (5:23hrs according to Raptr) 8/10, great game, loved the setting of the living castle and the puzzles were fun. The ingame hint system is quite good and I was able to finish the game without too much trouble. Story wise is a little bit strange but it was interesting and felt really unique.


header_spanish.jpg


7 - Agent Walker: Secret Journey (PC/Steam) (13/02/17) (5:20 according to Steam) 6/10, I played it with my girlfriend, it was a nice little HOG, but nothing really remarkable.


6d5407ab-3399-4076-876a-649db5ea6f23.png


8 - Hitman GO (Mobile/Windows Phone) (20/02/17) (No idea, but many hours here and there) 8/10, I completed the game with all its achievements, playing it on and off for quite some time. It's a great title if you like puzzle games, and it has some hard objetives to keep you playing. I recommend it.


header.jpg


9 - Pool Nation (PC/Steam) (01/03/17) (9:33 according to Raptr) 7/10, nice arcade game to pass time and enjoy the lucky shots you get here and there.


header_spanish.jpg


10 - Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond (PC/Steam) (08/03/17) (roughly 4 hours) 5/10, another HOG I played with my gf, it was a bit repetitive.


header.jpg


11 - OlliOlli (PC/Steam) (11/03/17) (roughly 2 hours) 7/10, fun little game, it reminded me of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the GBA. Only completed the normal levels, some of them with 5 stars, but I don't really feel compelled enough to play the pro challenges. Nice indie game though.


header.jpg


12 - Ittle Dew (PC/Steam) (17/03/17) (7:24 hours according to Raptr) 8/10, amazing (l)ittle game with great 2D graphics and music. Short but fun, though later levels can get really hard if you try to get all the cards and extra health.


header.jpg


13 - Sonic the Hedgehog (PC/Steam) (21/03/17) (? hours since it's really hard to track time for this game. It took me two play sessions anyway, perhaps a couple of hours max) 4/10, didn't like the platforming of the game at all. I used savestates all the time since I found this game incredibly hard and full of cheap deaths. I don't think I'll be replaying this game anytime soon.


header.jpg


14 - Space Legends: At the Edge of the Universe (PC/Steam) (21/03/17) (5 hours) 3/10, another HOG that I played with my gf. Definitely a bad game, very misleading since I thought it was set in space and the title ended being a cliche fantasy medieval HOG like many others. Low production value too, it even used a sample of Darth Vader breathing to simulate a gas mask!


5Ii71yNQXLJz6QG-UGZOQ7lCSu_VCKUTN3-jBbjH4_Uahq2zZCsa8B2TQhD10uE3TA=w300


15 - Fallout Shelter (PC/Windows Store) (28/03/17) (roughly 60 hours) 5/10, I consider it finished since I got today the 100 missions achievement and because, frankly, I got bored of it. The main flaw of the game is that is extremely repetitive and the missions are quite boring. Once you max out your vault and your characters, there's little else to do except for the missions and trying to collect all the rare items that you miss, but those tasks are so dull and repetitve that I simply don't want to do it. That being said, it's free and it have lots of references to the other titles in the series, so if you enjoy the Fallout universe (like I do), give it a try, but don't be surprised if you get bored of the game after a few days.


header.jpg


16 - Yosumin (PC/Steam) (05/04/17) (roughly 6 hours) 6/10, fun little puzzle game, a bit hard in the final levels of the adventure mode, but really addictive. I really liked how cheerful the game is :)


header.jpg


17 - Tomb Raider Underworld (PC/Steam) (07/04/17) (roughly 10 hours) 4/10, worst game in the saga by far in my opinion.Terrible camera and *awful* story. Definitely not worth it.


header_spanish.jpg


18 - Dark Arcana: The Carnival (PC/Steam) (12/04/17) (roughly 3 hours) 7/10, another HOG beaten with my gf, really nice setting and it had a great character. Fun game.


zpr2Uwm.jpg


19 - Lara Croft GO (PC/Windows Store) (30/04/17) (? hours, none of my tracking apps registered it :/) 9/10, AMAZING game, albeit quite short. Really nice atmosphere, puzzles and game mechanics. Nice extras too. Play it now if you haven't already.


header.jpg


20 - Circuits (PC/Steam) (01/05/17) (around 5 hours) 6/10, interesting concept for a game: a musical puzzle. I liked the early levels more than the final ones, but it was ok.


iBVN53i.jpg


21 - Hearthstone (PC/Blizzard) (07/05/17) (too many hours) 9/10, I have to list this title as it might be the only reason I don't have much time to play any other games :/


header.jpg


22 - Gear Grinder / Sledgehammer (PC/Steam) (18/05/17) (around 3hrs according to the game) 6/10, nice over the top game, a bit short and repetitive but fun overall. Bonus: you can paint your truck like Optimus Prime!


header.jpg


23 - Reigns (PC/Steam) (22/05/17) (2-3 hrs) 8/10, very fun game with a clever gameplay. A bit repetitive but I really recommend it.


header_spanish.jpg


24 - Demon Hunter 2: New Chapter (PC/Steam) (29/05/17) (~3 hours) 6/10, another HOG completed with my gf. The story is awful, but the game is ok.


header.jpg


25 - Doom (BFG WAD, so it's The Ultimate Doom edition) (PC, played with the Chocolate Doom source port) (04/06/17) (5-6 hours, I think) 8/10, it was about time for me to play the original Doom, and omg it was INTENSE. Really fun game, though I had my ass kicked in a couple of levels, thankfully you can save anywhere so it wasn't a big deal. I enjoyed it overall.


header.jpg


26 - Shatter (PC/Steam) (11/06/17) (2 hours) 7/10, Arkanoid/Breakout clone with some twists, good visuals and amazing soundtrack. Really short, but it's an arcade game, so it's to be expected. Nice game overall.


header_spanish.jpg


27 - An Assassin in Orlandes (PC/Steam) (13/06/17) (roughly 3 hours) 7/10, nice gamebook, full of places, objects and characters. It was a bit hard to reach the end but it was well worth it. I found it to be a really enjoyable experience.


header.jpg


28 - klocki (PC/Steam) (14/06/17) (1 hour) 9/10, excellent puzzle game, with easy mechanics and superb sound. Its only fault is that it is extremely short.


header.jpg


29 - LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues (PC/Steam) (27/06/17) (roughly 15 hours) 7/10, I think the first installment was a bit better. I liked the open world hubs and the use of vehicles, but the story levels felt somewhat formulaic and you definitely need to know the story beforehand to locate yourself within the movies. Not a bad title by any means, but there are far better LEGO games.


header.jpg


30 - Super Win the Game (PC/Steam) (29/06/17) (roughly 6 hours) 9/10, AMAZING little game, kind of metroidvania/Zelda II clone. Short but incredible fun, it recreates the NES look perfectly. Loved it.


header.jpg


31 - The Walking Dead Season 1 (PC/Steam) (03/07/17) (roughly 13 hours) 10/10, the best game I've played in a long, long time. The story and writing of this title is something else, it's a masterpiece. The characters, relationships and events that shape The Walking Dead make the game feel alive, dangerous and completely immersive. I've suffered with this game. I've laughed with this game. It's one of few games that elevates the medium, one that defines what a videogame is capable of.

Do yourself a favour and go play it right now if you haven't done it already.


header.jpg


32 - Hook (PC/Steam) (04/07/17) (1 hour) 6/10, extremely short but enjoyable. I liked more klocki, though.


header.jpg


33 - The Last Door (PC/Steam) (13/07/17) (4 hours) 8/10, really disturbing game. Its soundtrack and good art direction is what sets apart this title. It also had a couple of jump scares that really frightened me ^^U


header.jpg


34 - interLOGIC (PC/Steam) (14/07/17) (~1 hour) 6/10, short but fun little sokoban-like puzzle game.


header.jpg


35 - Brink of Consciousness: The Lonely Hearts Murders (PC/Steam) (22/07/17) (~4 and a half hours) 3/10, HOG that I played with my gf. The game mechanics were fine but the terrible story, characters and dialogue made the game a chore to play. There are HOG much better than this one.


header.jpg


36 - Pony Island (PC/Steam) (27/08/17) (~2 hours) 7/10, incredibly clever and spooky game, I really had a moment of honest shock when
it simulated the steam chat with a friend
. I recommend it.


header.jpg


37 - Zenge (PC/Steam) (03/09/17) (~1 hour and a half) 7/10, nice relaxing puzzle game, with beatiful artwork and great music. Extremely short though.


header.jpg


38 - Caravan (PC/Steam) (05/09/17) (~7 hours) 6/10, it starts pretty strong but wanes rapidly towards the end. Not a bad game, just a bit too shallow and short.


header.jpg


39 - Tharsis (PC/Steam) (10/09/17) (~4.5 hours) 6/10, you have 10 turns to reach Mars, and you're going to suffer every single one of them. Not a bad game, but I feel it is somewhat unfair, relying too much on luck in order to complete it. The missions are amazing though, and a bit fairer.

Claiming this post. I somehow managed to play/beat over 100 games last year, I regret not going in the challenge thread and posting my thoughts on stuff. While I'll have significantly less free time in 2017, 52 should be doable as long as Hitman doesn't take up a ridiculous amount of my time.

Not expecting to do as many as 2015 or 2016, but reserved anyhow.

Game 1: Gears of War 4 - XB1 - Completed 1/2/17
And away we go. If you've seen my 2016 list, this game should come as no surprise.

Game 2: Gears of War Judgment - XB1 - Completed 1/29/17
Definitely slower going this year. Wanted to do only new games, but that didn't happen. Don't have the money or interest in other games. I'll just stick to what I enjoy playing.

Game 3: World of Warcraft Legion - PC - Completed 1/29/17
Hit 110 on a Demon Hunter and Priest. That's good enough for me to add to the list. WoW will probably show up again.

Game 4: Resident Evil 7 - PC - Completed 2/9/17
Truly excellent game, but I don't consider it a true Resident Evil game.

Game 5: Gears of War 2 - XB1 - Completed 2/19/17
Comfort food-game.

Game 6: Doom - PC - Completed 2/26/17
Second time through. First was on XB1. Wow, this version looks and plays incredible. Right at the end of the game I switched from a controller to keyboard and mouse. Completely different experience.

Game 7: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - PC - Completed 2/26/17
I think I know what's wrong with my arm. It's the Ulnar nerve in my elbow. Not carpal tunnel like I thought. Finished another game with KB/M. As long as I stay away from the chair arm, it shouldn't be so bad. Hopefully this post reminds me to look into more permanent options.

Game 8: World of Warcraft Legion - PC - Completed 2/27/17
Got my first legendary!

Game 9: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - PC - Completed 3/5/17
Like good junk food.

Game 10: World of Warcraft Legion - PC - Completed 3/17/17
Finished the artifact weapon grind.

Game 11: Grand Theft Auto 5 - PC - Completed 3/18/17
Such a gorgeous game on PC. Some of the later missions were much much easier with a keyboard and mouse.

Game 12: Gears of War 3 - XB1 - Completed 3/19/17
Been chipping away at this for a month.

Game 13: World of Warcraft Legion - PC - Completed 3/19/17
Broken Isles Pathfinder (essentially means I've completed all of the story quests in this part of the game).

Game 14: Gears of War 4 - PC - Completed 4/8/17
Slowing down a bit lately. Not a lot of new games that I'm interested in on PC/XB1. I've been working on Wolfenstein and Singularity as well. Should be done those this month.

Game 15: Gears of War Judgment - XB1 - Completed 4/30/17
Only 2 games in a month and they were both replays. Man, I am slipping.

Game 16: Gears of War Aftermath - XB1 - Completed 5/1/17

Game 17: Resident Evil 7 - PC - Completed 5/14/17
Tried to get the circular saw, but I missed the 4 hour mark. I guess I'll have to try again some other time.

Game 18: Bayonetta - PC - Completed 5/21/17
Excellent port.

Game 19: Gears of War Ultimate Edition - XB1 - Completed 5/25/17

Game 20: Vanquish - PC - Completed 5/25/17
Man, I love this game. Pre-ordered as soon as I could. The DLC pistol made the tougher enemies a bit of a joke, but it's still a lot of fun after all these years. I probably took some damage thanks to a FPS bug, but still enjoyed it at 60fps.

Game 21: Call of Duty - PC - Completed 5/29/17
Yup. THAT call of duty. The OG.

Game 22: Dead Space - XB1 - Completed 6/4/17
Yearly run. Still really love this game. I hope someday we'll get a Dead Space 4.

Game 23: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - NSW - Completed 6/23/17
This has been taking up the majority of June for me. But man of man has it been worth it. Easily my game of the year so far. Probably game of the generation for me. I mostly stuck to a campaign path, with some adventuring here and there. I'm still going to go back and adventure some more. I still have a ton of shrines to do. Still a lot of places I've never visited. A half dozen towers I've never climbed. Almost all the memories to find.

Game 24: Gears of War 2 - XB1 - Completed 6/24/17
Was playing this while playing Zelda. Just to break things up a bit.

Game 25: Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap - NSW - Completed 6/25/17
Fun, gorgeous, trip down memory lane.

Game 26: Gears of War 3 - XB1 - Completed 6/26/17
Four games in four days. Been a while since I did that. I'm halfway to 52. There's still a chance that I can hit my goal.

Game 27: The Last Of Us - PS4 - Completed 7/2/17
Trying to get used to using L2/R2 for aim and fire.

Game 28: Bioshock Infinite - PC - Completed 7/13/17
I know a lot of people dislike this game, but I have enjoyed it ever time I've played through it. It is my most played Bioshock title.

Game 29: World of Warcraft Legion - PC
Nothing in particular. Just a lot of hours. Finally leveling my Warrior after a 9 year break.

Game 30: Gears of War 4 - PC - Completed 7/23/17
Looks really nice on my new Dell monitor.

Game 31: Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm - PC - Completed 8/6/17
Good god this has been a long time coming.

Game 32: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - PC - Completed 8/17/17
Absolutely blown the fuck away.

Game 33: Gears of War Judgment - XB1 - Completed 8/27/17
Just something to do.

Game 34: Uncharted Lost Legacy - PS4 - Completed 9/3/17
So fucking good.

Game 35: Titanfall 2 - PS4 - Completed 9/6/17
Incredible campaign.

Game 36: Black Ops - PC - Completed 9/17/17
This game has aged so well.

Game 37: The Evil Within - PC - Completed 9/23/17
With the upcoming sequel I just had to replay this. It really takes a serious rig to get this game to run well. It's a highly flawed game, but still very good. The one shot kills and occasional lack of checkpoints are annoying. There's roughly 100% chance I'll pre-purchase the sequel this week. I might try the DLC for the game as well, before the sequel comes out.

Game 38: Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall - PC - Completed 9/25/17
I don't usually bother with DLC, but this was really good. I wanted to get the full story of Dishonored before getting deeper into Dishonored 2. Brigmore Witches is next.

Game 39: Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches - PC - Completed 9/28/17
Nice lead up to Dishonored 2. Doesn't really clarify much for me though.

Game 40: Dishonored 2 - PC - Completed 9/30/17
I'm going to let this one settle a bit. I think I got the super evil ending, but I'm OK with that. Someday I would like to true stealth play of the game.

Game 41: Dishonored Death of the Outsider - PC - Completed 10/4/17
This was a really fun run. I liked the good ending. I'm expecting to see more Dishonored games, but it will be interesting to see where they go from here.

Game 42: Titanfall 2 - PC - Completed 10/12/17
Triple dip!! I really hope Respawn makes a Titanfall 3.

Game 43: The Evil Within 2 - PC - Completed 10/15/17
Really good game. Not as good as the first one, but still really good. I'll probably play this again this year.

Game 44: Half Life 2 - PC - Completed 10/19/17
That's not an error. I actually finished Half Life 2. The first time in nearly a decade. They do not make games like this any longer, and that's a damn shame.

Game 45: Wolfenstein The New Order - PC - Completed 10/24/17
A good warm up for this weeks release of Wolfenstein 2.

Game 46: World of Warcraft Legion - PC - Completed 10/27/17
Max level on Shaman. Also epicced out.

Game 47: Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus - PC - Completed 10/29/17
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I didn't think they they could beat The New Order, but here it is.

Game 48: Call of Duty WWII - PC - Completed 11/5/17
Fairly good. Not outstanding. Wolfenstein was far better. Evil Within 2 was better, but in a different genre.

Game 49: Diablo 3 - PC - Completed 11/8/17
Been working on this bit by bit for months. Not sure if I like this version better than the console version. Good game though.

Game 50: Gears of War Ultimate - XB1 - Completed 11/12/17
What, you thought I wouldn't play the game again this year? You crazy.

Game 51: Call of Duty Infinite Warfare - PC - Completed 11/18/17
Played mostly on my new gsync monitor. The flying sections are still a bit iffy, but this campaign is still great. I never liked the multiplayer, but I don't regret buying the game just for the single player.

Game 52: Bioshock Infinite - PC - Completed 11/25/17
It made me sad finishing this game. Not because of the ending, but because we may never get another Bioshock game again.
That's number 52 for me. I've finished this challenge 3 years in a row now. This year had a little more diversity than last. Fewer replays of Gears of War series (last year was ridiculous). A lot has changed in the last year.
I'll still keep track of the games I play for the rest of the year. Just got a new gsync monitor, so I want to see what this can do.

Game 53: The Evil Within 2 - PC - Completed 11/29/17
New game plus really plays more like your standard shooter than survival horror. Just blasted the shit out of everything. Still... it was fun.

Game 54: The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth - Switch - Completed 12/4/17
Finished again after deleting my save.

Game 55: Resident Evil 7 Not a Hero - PC - Completed 12/13/17
Can't possible complain about free DLC. I had fun.

Game 56: Resident Evil Revelations 2 - PC - Completed 12/14/17
I really hope there are more Revelations games. I enjoy both of them.

Game 57: Resident Evil Revelations - PC - Completed 12/18/17
Controls feel a little dated, but otherwise still a fun game.
I really hope there are more Revelations games. I enjoy both of them.
 
It's 2017. Time for round 3!

2017: 40 of 52 games completed as of 10/15/17

Higurashi.jpg

1) Higurashi: When They Cry Episode 1
Platform: PC
Finished 1/1/17 (started in 2016) - 8 hours
An incredibly unnerving visual novel that had me going "Oh shit!" to myself several times. I had no prior experience with the series, and went in blind on a friend's rec... will keep playing subsequent chapters.

Letter_Quest.jpg

2) Letter Quest: Remastered
Platform: PSV
Finished 1/1/17 (started in 2016)
While I enjoyed my time with this inoffensive typing game, there was just too much randomness involved to keep me interested long term. I beat all the maps, got most of the trophies for fun (that didnt involve acing everything), then dropped it like a rock.

Actual_Sunlight.jpg

3) Actual Sunlight
Platform: PSV (100% trophies complete)
Finished 1/1/17 - Around 1 hr
A very enjoyable short adventure game in the vein of A Bird's Story (RPG Maker visuals, gameplay with not too many actual choices), except its as verbose as Bird Story was minimalist. Essentially a bunch of well written, strung together essays on life, tied together in an indie game shell.

Love_Fred_Wood.jpg

4) Love
Platform: PC
Finished 1/1/17 - around 1hr 30min
Gaffer made! A well executed indie platformer, if a little short. Great soundtrack, charming lo-fi graphics and tight controls. Cheap, too! (Note: Got this game for free thanks to the developer's generous code giveaway in the SteamGAF holiday sale thread.)

Abzu.png

5) Abzu
Platform: PC
Finished 1/1/17 - 1.9 hours as per Steam
I had high hopes for this, but despite the presence of both Matt Nava (former art director from thatgamecompany) and Austin Wintory, Abzu just lacks that special something. I don't know what it is - is it because the gameplay lacks the elegant simplicity of TGC's titles? Is it because there's a little too much repetition? It's like they copied the core concepts of Flower, but failed to capture the essence of why that game was so awesome.

The game does look and sound incredible, though, and the trademark "empowerment" sequence (you know, the usual life-affirming climax of TGC games towards the end) ultimately made this worth the money, at the discounted price.

Firewatch.jpg

6) Firewatch
Platform: PC
Finished 1/2/17 - 5.6 hours as per Steam
Firewatch frigging kicked ass! I was having serious reservations about going to buy it because people were reporting you could beat the game in less than 2 hours... I have nothing against short games, but I do have a problem with how much it costs for that length. Finally bit the bullet this Winter Sale, and... damn. Atmospheric, fantastic writing, and some of the prettiest art direction I've ever seen. And the length was pretty solid as well, took me around 5 hours (taking my time). There's also an optional directors commentary mode I plan to revisit some time in the future. Too bad for Abzu, playing it back to back with Firewatch just made it look even worse in comparison. This is how it's done, fellas.

poi.jpg

7) Poi
Platform: PC - 100% achievements complete, Early Access
Finished 1/8/17 - 5.2 hrs as per Steam
The first Early Access game I ever beat - the game's quality absolutely needed to be rewarded with some effort. Can quickly be summarized as a slavishly devoted homage to Mario 64 (and I do mean slavish - there's a penguin slide!), except not as good in any way. However, it does do all of the necessary things right - imaginative level design, pinpoint control, excellent "feel" - something that the execrable FreezeMe never had. The dev is launching the full version next month according to the store page, hope they give a nice discount so more people can get in on this.

Press_X.png

8) Press X To Not Die
Platform: PC
Finished 2/11/17 - 28 minutes as per Steam
FMV game in the old Sega CD style - hilariously low budget, was good for a bunch of laughs. Thankfully it was cheap when I got it several Steam sales ago... got my jollies then deleted it immediately after.

Arslan.jpg

9) Arslan: The Warriors of Legend
Platform: PC
Finished 2/12/17 - 8.9 hours as per Steam
Bought it during the Tecmo pub weekend, and got so hooked on it that i polished the entire thing off in two sittings (over the past few days). I've never seen the show or read the manga/novel, and this game has me very interested to give both a try. Although obviously a Cliff's Notes version of the plot, it lets you know enough to keep you motivated. Also, ran at a stable 60FPS with no hitches, surprising for a KT title.

Claim

I failed 2016 cause a bunch of stuff slumped together in November, was on track before.

Progress 20/52


Game 1: The Last of Us Remastered - 14h [January 1st]
Pretty, pretty good. My only gripe is that the game encourages a stealthy aproach to encounter, yet the game lacks stealth related options/maneuvers. Soundtrack is ambient as fuck.

Game 2: The Last of Us Remastered - Left Behind - 3h [January2nd]
Good piece of DLC, but nothing to write home about.

Game 3: Day of The Tentacle Remastered - 5h [January 5th]
Good, but many of the items interactions are completely insane. You just have to try every posible combination until one works. Had a lot of crashes on PS4.

Game 4: God Of War II (Replay) - 10h [January 7th]
Man, this game is awesome. I only played it once, so i had time to do a replay before, hopefully, playing the sequel. I played on Hard (God), and some of the encounters were more bullshit than difficult.

Game 5: Dragon Age II - 6h [January 20th]
What the FUCK is this? What is this lackluster setting? What are these repeting sidequests? Who in the fuck designed this interface? Are all encounters dealing with wave after wave of enemies? What the fuck happened to the great game that was DA: O? I ain't playing this to completion, maybe it gets better more hours in but i won't continue to lose time to find out

Game 6: Mobile Suit Gundam Vs Gundam Next PLUS - 2h+ [January 27th]
I love this game. I always go back to it after a few months.

Game 7: Bloodborne - 40h+ [February 1st]
Excellent. Only gripe is that camera is not suited to giant enemies/bosses and that add a layer of frustration, but then again this is a common issue with all soulsborne games. I've yet to platinum it, but it seems to be the easiest one in that regard.

Game 8: Uncharted (Nathan Drake Collection) - 7h [February 10th]
Good. But fighting wave after wave with a shooting that feels this floaty gets quite tiresome. Gotta say i enjoyed the platforming despite it being as barebones as it can be, and camera angles being an annoyance.

Game 9: Uncharted 2 - Among Thieves (Nathan Drake Collection) - 9h [February 17th]
Better than its predecessor, but he bullet sponge enemies kinda get on your nerves after a while.

Game 10: Uncharted 3 - Drake's Deception (Nathan Drake Collection) - 9h [February 22th]
The problems are still prevalent, shooting feels off, enemies are bullet sponges. Although, finally, grenades can be thrown back which was a feature that was sorely lacking before. Quite the looker. Still i prefer 2.

Game 11: Uncharted 4 - A Thief's End - 16h [March 1st]
Great sendoff to the characters, the gunplay is finally acceptable (when a game that runs at 30fps has better gunplay than its predecessors at 60fps is alarming). I prefer it over 2. Graphics, lord almighty.

Game 12: Disc Jam - 6h+ [March 10th]
Very good mechanically, but it needs a lot of polish in presentation. Single player would be welcome

Game 13: Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 - 6h+ [March 18th]
I've been waiting a few years to finally have this on PC. Great game.

Game 14: Ghost Recon: Wildlands - 18h+ [March 30th]
Now this is one is a bit hard to describe. The game itself is lackluster, astonishingly repetitive and clunky. But co-op with friends is great fun, it was a lacking genre tbh.

Game 15: Not A Hero - 6h [March 31st]
Short and sweet. With different unlockables i guess you could get a few more hours of gameplay

Game 16: Nier: Automata - 40h [April 3rd]
The only downside i can find is that performance on PS4 leaves a lot to be desired. I loved the game otherwise. Soundtrack is a gift.

Game 17: Axiom Verge - 8h [July 9th]
Not bad at all. Can't say i'm a fan of the art style.

Game 18: Megaman X Command Mission - 19h [July 9th]
Gotta say i'm surprised by this one. I was expecting a bad game, but it's actually a very competent generic turn based RPG. Biggest gripe is actually the souless voice acting, and overall meh soundtrack.

Game 19: God of War III - 11h [July 13th]
Very, very good. Quite the looker. I think II is the best of the trilogy, though.

Game 20: Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry
This is one game where being so short is a great feature, it doenst go crazy with the side collectibles, or with irrelevant missions like others in the series. Very good
