41. Beat a game with a Metascore below 70

Knack. Score probably shouldn't be as low as it is, it's a neat game to play casually

what is everyone's plan for the 4th anniversary banners? After a quick glance, I'm doing at least two on B3 and one on B4 and B5 for sure. I'm considering skipping the first two phases entirely and just hammer the other three. I have two dupes on B1 and one on B2 (Shantotto ASB/Firion Brave and OK LM), and for B1 in particular the Zidane Awakening is the only one that really interests me. Is there a reason to convince me to pull on B2 if I have stuff for most of the featured characters (Kain USB, both OK buff USBs, Raines BSB, Alph BSB and both USBs, PCecil USB)?

finally

44. Beat a game based on licensed stories/characters

Kingdom Hearts III. Very good game but I have some issues with it, the biggest two being having a kinda unresolved ending after waiting over a decade for a numbered KH game, and the game having zero Final Fantasy characters. I mean that was pretty much the whole appeal of Kingdom Hearts in the first place right? I'm fine with the side games being more Disney-focused, but come on a mainline game has to have some Final Fantasy presence! Hopefully we don't have to wait another ten years for another game.

4. Beat a game released between 2010-2018

We Happy Few. I was super hyped for this game when it first announced based on the setting. The final product is a letdown sadly. Very buggy, including major issues that forced me to close the game and do a reload (loading screens spawning every 10 seconds, loading screens that never finished loading, required objects for quests that didn't spawn, getting stuck in an infinite jump animation, etc). The plot didn't do enough to justify the gameplay.

48. Beat a game that starts with the first letter of your username

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's a weird game, and the story can be confusing but it was real fun to pay close attention to the lore and try to figure things out. I'm a fan.

5. Beat a game released in 2019

Fur The Game. Another free short Steam game (puzzle). Only took like 10 minutes and that's with the game running super slow on my laptop. It's neat but extremely easy.

Two short ones and a long one

9. Beat a remake or enhanced port

Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition. Not much to say here

29. Beat a game with comedy as a central theme

Burly Men At Sea. Not my type of comedy, but still

7. Beat a game in a series you've already played some of

Tales Of Xillia 2. Clocking in at around 145 hours (not even doing postgame content!) this is easily the longest I've spent on a Tales game. From a gameplay standpoint this might be my favorite in the series, but as a whole there are a few issues that keep this from topping my rankings, mainly the story featuring some good ol' Tales bullshit the series is known for.

That completes the Tales series for now; the games I haven't played either have not been released in the West or I just don't have much interest in them (mainly the older titles. Maybe if Hearts gets ported to a console...). So, here are my final rankings:

Graces f > Berseria > Xillia 2 > Xillia > Abyss > Vesperia > Symphonia > Zestiria > Legendia > Symphonia 2

Vesperia will get another chance to move up the ladder with the remaster, but it's not a priority for the time being.

6/50. Time to join the KH3 waiting room!

47. Play a technically unbeatable game for at least six hours

Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Same as usual, I just have zero interest whatsoever in any MMO or another gacha game, but if that ever changes then I'll place it here just so I have something new for this category.

39. Finish a game in one day

Island Dash. When I see the words "Made with Unity" I fully expect pure garbage. It's free on Steam, but not worth playing this crappy game unless it's specifically for this challenge. Game can be completed in 10 minutes, so it's an easy one.

3/50

40. Finish a game that took you at least twenty-five hours to beat

Tales Of Symphonia: Dawn Of The New World

As usual for me, I end the previous year on a RPG expecting to beat it in the new year. The story is fine, but I had major issues with the gameplay. The monster recruiting system is garbage, but unfortunately is kinda necessary since the party members from the first game are always at fixed levels (usually underleveled too). I'll do a full Tales ranking once I beat Xillia 2 but I think this is the worst one I've played.

1/50. This year is going to start RPG-heavy as I'm doing Xillia 2 next and I'm likely following that up with KH3.
