2 | 1 | Baba is You | PC | 2019 | 12/15/2021 | Yes | brain is melt | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | 2 | Final Fantasy X-2 (HD Remaster) | PC | 2003/2016 | 12/19/2021 | 1/2/2022 | 15 | Yes | What if 2003 were a weirdly horny video game? Like with FFX, I skipped a lot of the sidequest/minigame content because it generally controls poorly, needs to be done perfectly, and gives overpowered rewards that are unnecessary. Dark Knight/Dark Knight/Alchemist were my chosen jobs from acquisition through the end of the game. Darkness + Mega Potion go brrr | |||||||||||||||||||||
4 | 3 | Cyberpunk 2077 | PC | 2020 | 1/2/2022 | 1/9/2022 | 8 | No | Played obsessively over a week off from work. Something about the moment-to-moment gameplay just hits me right, tons of fun. Some DLC would be great. Started another playthrough on 1.5 on new PC (stealth/blades build), different experience getting 60+ FPS with ray tracing so it looks and plays real smooth, plus the 1.5 QoL updates don't hurt either. Threw in a few mods too. | |||||||||||||||||||||
5 | 4 | Hollow Knight | PC | 2017 | 1/10/2022 | 1/13/2022 | 4 | No | Hey, this game is full of bugs! (fundo hundo, true end) Also a "speed" playthrough for the Speedrun achievements. | |||||||||||||||||||||
6 | 5 | Okami HD | PC | 2006/2012 | 1/14/2022 | Yes | Didn't grab me like I hoped it would. Shame because it's obviously well-made, looks great. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | 6 | Guacamelee! STCE | PC | 2013 | 1/24/2022 | 1/25/2022 | 2 | No | John Avocado punches Carl Skull. World saved. What do you mean a new Drinkbox game came out | |||||||||||||||||||||
8 | 7 | Slay the Spire | PC | 2019 | 1/25/2022 | 11/17/2022 | 297 | Yes | Different from other roguelikes (thinking Hades, Isaac, etc) because while skill can help overcome some of the randomness you can't outplay everything. Skill floor is higher than I'm used to. Many breaks were taken. Completed a run with each character. Probably continue playing. | |||||||||||||||||||||
9 | 8 | Guacamelee 2 | PC | 2018 | 1/25/2022 | 1/26/2022 | 2 | No | More punch and kick and Mexipuns. Completed Proving Grounds for the first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 9 | Pokemon Legends Arceus | Switch | 2022 | 1/28/2022 | 2/3/2022 | 7 | Yes | Major improvements on the Pokemon formula while still being very recognizable as Pokemon. I hope they continue in this direction (either in place of or along side the more traditional Pokemon experience). Completed the Pokedex for the first time since Red/Blue (where I had access to both games and two Game Boys). | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | 10 | Mass Effect (Legendary) | PC | 2021 | 2/9/2022 | 2/18/2022 | 10 | No | lol Engineer and Infiltrator playthroughs | |||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 11 | Mass Effect 2 (Legendary) | PC | 2021 | 2/9/2022 | 2/18/2022 | 10 | No | (Initially had these on one row but separated to statpad) | |||||||||||||||||||||
13 | 12 | Mass Effect 3 (Legendary) | PC | 2021 | 2/9/2022 | 2/18/2022 | 10 | No | Any time there's a break in between games in this 2022 list just assume I was playing MELE. | |||||||||||||||||||||
14 | 13 | Dishonored | PC | 2012 | 2/19/2022 | 2/21/2022 | 3 | Yes | Fun game. Playing for full stealth/no kills makes it a puzzle platformer (killed fewer than 10 enemies the whole game, all inadvertent). Story was nothing to write home about. DLC was more of the same, which is not a complaint because I enjoyed the base game. | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | 14 | Dishonored 2 | PC | 2016 | 2/26/2022 | 3/4/2022 | 7 | Yes | Feels like it's dragging more than 1. Maybe that's just because I quicksave/quickload a lot and loading takes a long time. Overall didn't care for this as much as 1, mostly a bunch of little things adding up. Still alright though. | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | 15 | Dragon Age: Origins | PC | 2009 | 3/4/2022 | 3/12/2022 | 9 | Yes | I guess I'm just less interested in fantasy lore than sci-fi lore cause I've had very little interest in doing sidequests and actually finding out what's going on between the combat (which is a lot of fun), compared to that other BioWare RPG trilogy that I've played a couple times. Feels like there's a lot of backtracking to do sidequests and it's a slog to do so. Shoutouts to Alistair and Wynne for carrying the team. | |||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 16 | Final Fantasy VI (Pixel Remaster) | PC | 1994/2022 | 3/13/2022 | No | Got partway through the game, then got a new PC and elected to play other games. Should go back at some point and finish, I rarely finish FF6 playthroughs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | 17 | TUNIC | PC | 2022 | 3/16/2022 | Yes | Could not get into this which sucks because everyone who could seemed to love it. I ended up just getting mad instead. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 18 | Dragon Age II | PC | 2011 | 3/20/2022 | 4/1/2022 | 13 | Yes | Liked the pacing better than DAO, didn't like how every fight (especially in Act 3) was just against a hundred damage-spongey enemies. Finished the game on easy difficulty and having granted myself a ton of extra XP just to bump up my attack stats. I had fun though. | |||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 19 | Kirby and the Forgotten Land | Switch | 2022 | 3/25/2022 | 3/27/2022 | 3 | Yes | Tons of fun. Kirby is cute. Basically Mario 3D World but Kirby. Two main gripes: 1. Would have loved to be able to exit already-completed levels and keep progress if I needed to go back in to get a Waddle Dee or Soul that I missed, instead of having to finish the level. 2. Gachapon is just not fun to me. I had fewer than half of the 256 figurines when that was all I had left to do to achieve 100%, so I just spent 30+ minutes pressing A until the right things came out of the machine. Thankfully the game does seem to put a high priority on figurines you don't have so this didn't take super long; still annoying. | |||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 20 | Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade | PC | 2020/2021 | 4/1/2022 | No | Replay of original, took break after platefall. Intend to return to finish and do Yuffie intermission. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | 21 | La-Mulana (remake) | PC | 2012 | 4/4/2022 | 4/9/2022 | 6 | Yes | Gave this game multiple attempts in the past, usually leading to me being absolutely stumped and giving up about 4 guardians in (where the game goes from tricky to obtuse, imo). Finally decided I wanted to know what the deal was so I looked stuff up. I don't mind "cheating" in games with obtuse puzzle solutions because I know that kind of gaming just isn't for me. I still had a lot of fun. Probably play La-Mulana 2 in the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||
23 | 22 | Control | PC | 2019 | 4/14/2022 | 4/19/2022 | 6 | No | It's a good game. I really should try out some other games in the Alan Wake-iverse. | |||||||||||||||||||||
24 | 23 | La-Mulana 2 | PC | 2018 | 4/17/2022 | Yes | Played a decent amount, took copious notes, dropped it due to burnout. Might try again in the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | 24 | Fallout 4 | PC | 2015 | 4/20/2022 | No | Thinking about playing Fallout 4: vault_boy_thumbs_up.png Playing Fallout 4: vault_boy_shrug.gif It's not bad, I just tend to get bored and not see the story through to the end. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | 25 | Fallout: New Vegas | PC | 2010 | 5/10/2022 | 5/18/2022 | 9 | No | What a good game. Did all DLCs before talking to House or Benny, just to be different. NCR victory because I didn't have that achievement. | |||||||||||||||||||||
27 | 26 | ElecHead | PC | 2021 | 5/20/2022 | 5/20/2022 | 1 | Yes | Fun little puzzle platformer. Didn't overstay its welcome, made good use of the mechanics. | |||||||||||||||||||||
28 | 27 | Sable | PC | 2021 | 5/21/2022 | 5/22/2022 | 2 | Yes | Love the open world exploration. World wasn't too crowded or too empty. Felt like Breath of the Wild without combat. Needs technical optimization, but other than that it was great. Also the soundtrack was excellent and has caused me to listen to a lot of Japanese Breakfast since I finished playing. | |||||||||||||||||||||
29 | 28 | The Pathless | PC | 2021 | 5/27/2022 | 5/28/2022 | 2 | Yes | Got the good ending. The boss fights are boss fights - rarely my favorite part of video games, but at least these had checkpoints. Final fight was the least frustrating which is good and bad. Liked the rest of the game - little puzzles to get the collectible macguffins, exploring the world, flying around with the eagle, petting the eagle. Love that eagle. | |||||||||||||||||||||
30 | 29 | Fallout 3 | PC | 2008 | 5/28/2022 | No | Weird to go from playing NV to playing this. For what it's worth, I do really like the world even if the story and gameplay leave a lot to be desired, especially in comparison to New Vegas. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | 30 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order | PC | 2019 | 5/30/2022 | Yes | Just don't think this is for me. Combat is between meh and frustrating, exploration is frustrating, characters are BORING (except BD-1). | |||||||||||||||||||||||
32 | 31 | Grime | PC | 2021 | 6/1/2022 | Yes | Good take on the Souls style that I actually didn't hate. Think only being 2D helps this a lot. Still probably a bit too hard for me - I'll struggle to get through a boss fight, only for it to have a 2nd phase. Super punishing boss combat still ain't for me and never will be. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
33 | 32 | Dragon Age Inquisition | PC | 2014 | 6/3/2022 | 6/19/2022 | 17 | Yes | Unpopular opinion: my personal favorite of the (for now) trilogy, gameplay-wise. Open world areas with lots of little stuff to collect? Sign me up. Oh and I guess there was a story too, defeat the bad guy, whatever. Looking forward to the next one. Finished DLCs on 6/24. DLC enemies got a bit damage-spongy for my tastes. Stop doing that, Dragon Age. | |||||||||||||||||||||
34 | 33 | DOOM (2016) | PC | 2016 | 6/25/2022 | 6/26/2022 | 2 | Yes | After spending 3+ weeks playing an RPG this was super refreshing - fast paced, combat focused, very little story to speak of. I probably died as much to falling off ledges as combat (played on "Hurt Me Plenty" (Normal) difficulty and that was good for me). I ripped, I tore, I had a blast. | |||||||||||||||||||||
35 | 34 | Haiku, The Robot | PC | 2022 | 6/27/2022 | 6/29/2022 | 3 | Yes | Metroidvania Hollow Knight with cute robots I liked this a lot | |||||||||||||||||||||
36 | 35 | Ghostwire: Tokyo | PC | 2022 | 6/27/2022 | 7/10/2022 | 14 | Yes | Fun gameplay, depressing story. Getting the Tanuki Suit added some much-needed levity to the cutscenes. Game was very clearly designed for consoles first because the default KB/M controls are for aliens. Really had no idea what the game was about when I started except "open world RPG". Not bad, but probably won't play again. | |||||||||||||||||||||
37 | 36 | Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion | PC | 2020 | 6/30/2022 | 7/1/2022 | 2 | Yes | Riveting gameplay, deep lore, raging against the machine. 10/10 | |||||||||||||||||||||
38 | 37 | Yakuza: Like a Dragon | PC | 2020 | 7/10/2022 | 7/24/2022 | 15 | Yes | Starring Ichiban Kasuga as the Yakuza Lad If the Yakuza series continues with the JRPG combat instead of the beat-em-up combat, they'll all be day one buys for me. Unrealistic ending to the story with a politician getting punished for something he was recorded saying. Why Nanba run like that | |||||||||||||||||||||
39 | 38 | Super Mario Odyssey | Switch | 2017 | 7/31/2022 | 8/5/2022 | 6 | No | Casual All Moons | |||||||||||||||||||||
40 | 39 | Bioshock | PC | 2007 | 8/2/2022 | 8/12/2022 | 11 | No | Still a very good game. How Bioshocking | |||||||||||||||||||||
41 | 40 | Pokemon Shield | Switch | 2019 | 8/8/2022 | 8/21/2022 | 14 | No | Team: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FatN5zOUsAIkTE1?format=jpg Replay before Scarlet later this year. Dropping starter (Scorbunny) was the best decision I could have made, Salazzle was so much better (caught in Isle of Armor). Also had a Hatterene for a little while but dumped it for Alcremie for speed reasons. Pokemon is fun. | |||||||||||||||||||||
42 | 41 | Shadow of the Tomb Raider | PC | 2018 | 8/12/2022 | 8/17/2022 | 6 | Yes | Story was eh, gameplay was good (albeit glitchy and clumsy in some places). Voice acting was just real bad, especially Lara. Controls were weird (i.e. designed for controllers and mapped to KB/M as an afterthought) - E to interact except when it's F, C to descend except when it's L-Ctrl, the map just not wanting to be click/dragged, stuff like that. Raiding tombs is always my favorite part of Tomb Raider games, so did all the DLC tombs in addition to 100%ing the main game. | |||||||||||||||||||||
43 | 42 | God of War | PC | 2018 | 8/18/2022 | 8/25/2022 | 8 | Yes | More like Good of War Atreyu reminds me a lot of Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite, though she was more helpful. Difficulty was kinda high at the beginning but got better as I got more skills and better equipment (when I remembered to use the skills anyway). Side content all combat, not finishing that. I'll play the next one when it comes to PC in 5 years | |||||||||||||||||||||
44 | 43 | Mass Effect: Andromeda | PC | 2017 | 8/25/2022 | 9/3/2022 | 10 | No | You can really see the ideas behind this. It's ME1 exploration with almost-ME3 combat which in theory is perfect, though obviously the execution was fumbled. I still like it a lot even though the story/characters aren't as good as the original trilogy. QoL mods help a lot. Wish you could use more than 3 powers at once - Sentinel in the OT was never what I wanted out of a biotic/tech combo (I want biotic incapacitation i.e. Pull/Singularity combined with Incinerate/Overload) and ME:A almost gets there but not enough. Incinerate/Overload/Pull with a sniper rifle is pretty fun though. | |||||||||||||||||||||
45 | 44 | Immortals: Fenyx Rising | PC | 2020 | 9/3/2022 | 9/11/2022 | 9 | Yes | Ubisoft Breath of the Wild but make it Greek. Luckily, I like AC Odyssey and BoTW, and I enjoyed this combination of the two. | |||||||||||||||||||||
46 | 45 | Assassin's Creed Odyssey | PC | 2018 | 9/11/2022 | 9/25/2022 | 15 | No | I like it because it's Ancient Greece and the gameplay loop is fun. Definitely way too much to do and I did most of it (in Greece) on this playthrough. Intend to come back for a replay of the DLCs but for now I require a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||
47 | 46 | Castlevania: Symphony of the Night | PSX | 1997 | 9/30/2022 | 10/2/2022 | 3 | No | I'm interested in this. Casual replay, no save data on this PC so new game playthrough with all the cutscenes and no duplicator. Also tried to not cheese the game and I held through with that ideal through the first castle, but Shield Rod/Alucard Shield is too satisfying. | |||||||||||||||||||||
48 | 47 | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim | PC | 2011 | 10/4/2022 | No | No intentions of finishing this playthrough of Todd's Wacky Nordic Adventure but it's a fun/comfy cold-weather game. Ended up with a game state that crashes when I get near Solitude (Katla's Farm, etc). It just works. (It was heavily modded so lasting as long as it did was a feat in and of itself.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
49 | 48 | Manifold Garden | PC | 2019 | 10/15/2022 | 10/15/2022 | 1 | Yes | Just the right difficulty/obtuseness for a puzzle game for me. Only got wander-around-what-the-heck-do-I-do stuck once or twice which I'm ok with. Fun game too, mechanics were good and I picked up most of them right away. | |||||||||||||||||||||
50 | 49 | Cloudpunk | PC | 2020 | 10/16/2022 | 10/19/2022 | 4 | Yes | Fun walking/driving sim with an engaging story. Love the a e s t h e t i c | |||||||||||||||||||||
51 | 50 | Persona 5 Royal | PC | 2020 | 10/21/2022 | 11/6/2022 | 17 | Yes | Pre-play notes: Was in the same room for a lot of my wife's playthrough when this came out in 2020, so going in I know the major story beats but very little of the story details, and almost none of the gameplay details. Never played a Persona or SMT game before but supposedly they're good? Update: it's very good. DLC accessories and personas are OP. Thought I didn't really like JRPGs that much, turns out I probably just don't like Final Fantasy games. Gonna eventually NG+ this, play P4G, maybe P3, SMTs? But right now, need to play something else. | |||||||||||||||||||||
52 | 51 | The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game | PC | 2018 | 11/7/2022 | 11/7/2022 | 1 | Yes | Incredible. | |||||||||||||||||||||
53 | 52 | Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard | PC | 2019 | 11/7/2022 | 11/7/2022 | 1 | Yes | Masterpiece. | |||||||||||||||||||||
54 | 53 | Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County | PC | 2022 | 11/7/2022 | 11/7/2022 | 1 | Yes | GOTY | |||||||||||||||||||||
55 | 54 | Superliminal | PC | 2019 | 11/7/2022 | 11/7/2022 | 1 | Yes | Portal but weird perspective things. I liked it. I got the dog ending and the regular ending. | |||||||||||||||||||||
56 | 55 | Persona 5 Strikers | PC | 2021 | 11/8/2022 | 11/15/2022 | 8 | Yes | CanonName Persona gets to spend more time with his friends! Easy difficulty to make sure I finish before Pokemon comes out. First time playing a Warriors-style game, was pretty fun. | |||||||||||||||||||||
57 | 56 | Pokemon Scarlet | Switch | 2022 | 11/18/2022 | 11/21/2022 | 4 | Yes | Team: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FiI9K86aMAAf84G?format=jpg Super fun but riddled with all the issues. Stories were actually interesting? Would love Pokemon to continue in this direction. All the new mons are very good. Paused after postgame tournament, may return or might wait until the inevitable DLC. | |||||||||||||||||||||
58 | 57 | A Plague Tale: Innocence | PC | 2019 | 11/22/2022 | 11/25/2022 | 4 | Yes | Stealth sections were good, "combat" sections were terrible. Games should use the same mechanics in regular gameplay and boss fights. I'll play the sequel but not for a while - need to cool off from this first. Made me wanna replay Dishonored. | |||||||||||||||||||||
59 | 58 | Firewatch | PC | 2016 | 11/25/2022 | 11/26/2022 | 2 | Yes | Good walking sim. Story kept me interested to the end which I guess is the point. | |||||||||||||||||||||
60 | 59 | Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic | PC | 2003 | 11/26/2022 | 11/29/2022 | 4 | Yes | Commander Shepard is back! In Jedi form! This was pretty fun once I got the hang of it. The plot twist reveal would have been way cooler if I didn't see it everywhere on the internet while trying to learn game mechanics. Light side Soldier/Guardian. Dual sabers/Master speed/Flurry melts lots of things. | |||||||||||||||||||||
61 | 60 | Star Wars: KOTOR II: The Sith Lords | PC | 2004 | 11/30/2022 | 12/5/2022 | 6 | Yes | Weird combination of unfinished (story) and parts that dragged on way too long (Prologue->Peragus->Citadel Station opening, fucking Nar Shaddaa). Overall it was still good but the first game was better. Game crash boss was the hardest boss. | |||||||||||||||||||||
62 | 61 | Lenna's Inception | PC | 2020 | 12/6/2022 | 12/7/2022 | 2 | Yes | 50 game milestone reached! This was fun. Started out as a Zelda but got creative towards the end. May replay in the future to get the best ending now that I know there are multiple endings. | |||||||||||||||||||||
63 | 62 | Pokemon Crystal | GBC | 2001 | 12/7/2022 | 12/16/2022 | 10 | No | Technically don't think I've ever finished a Crystal playthrough but I've played Gen 2 a bunch of times. Just wanted an easy game to chill with. Totodile best starter. Full odds shiny Gastly and Tangela, lmao. Getting the Gastly made me figure out emulator trading so that was cool. Team that beat Red was Feraligatr, Gengar, Scyther (MVP thanks to Swords Dance), Donphan, Alakazam, Raikou. | |||||||||||||||||||||
64 | 63 | Jade Empire | PC | 2005 | 12/16/2022 | Yes | I intend to go back to this. I was enjoying it but decided to play Pokemon and then I got sick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
65 | 64 | Pokemon Black 2 | DS | 2012 | 12/17/2022 | 12/23/2022 | 7 | Yes | Can't remember how far I've gotten in BW2 in the past but never beaten it (have beaten BW). Fun game. It's certainly Pokemon. Samurott, Leavanny, Gothitelle, Flygon, Darmanitan, Vanilluxe. Mod to remove all HMs from older Pokemon gens when | |||||||||||||||||||||
66 | 65 | Pokemon Ultra Moon | 3DS | 2017 | 12/26/2022 | 12/29/2022 | 4 | Yes | I got sick for Christmas so I'm playing more Pokemon. Same deal as B2: have finished SuMo, have started but not completed USUM. Gen 7 is a lot of fun when you play it on emulator at 200% speed. Ultra Necrozma was something else. Ultra Warp Ride was harder than Ultra Necrozma. Team: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlL629CX0AEpqi_?format=jpg | |||||||||||||||||||||
67 | 66 | Quest 64 | N64 | 1998 | 12/30/2022 | 12/30/2022 | 1 | No | Maybe next time I'll use something other than Water/Earth. I've heard Wind is pretty good. |
