Saw this while looking through the topics list in the aftermath of VGMC noms so might as well. I've tried to keep track of all the stuff I've been playing since some part of last year via Grouvee, why not go ahead and add to that effort in some other form.

Games I've beaten in 2023 so far (even if I started playing them earlier):
Elden Ring
Subnautica (replay, for archipelago multiworld)
Mizzurna Falls (replay)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (replay, but first time playing through SAT and PSP versions)
Mafia: Definitive Edition (replay)
Subnautica: Below Zero
Hogwarts Legacy
Yakuza 0
Getsu Fuuma Den
Grand Theft Auto III (partial replay)
Grand Theft Auto Vice City (partial replay)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition
Grand Theft Auto V
Overcooked 2
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (replay)
Rogue Legacy (mostly a replay but I had never beaten the final boss before; did it again right after for archipelago multiworld)
Donkey Kong 64 (randomizer)
Castlevania 64 (randomizer)

And now for the only one that's fresh enough on my mind to do a quick comment as I literally played through the whole thing today:

The Charnel House Trilogy
It's a point and click adventure. It advertises itself as three games in one; it's not, it's one continuous story with three 'chapters', two of which have you controlling the same character, and all it is is an extended introduction for something that the outro promises will come in 2016, the year after the game was released, that as of right now still hasn't materialized. I found the character you spend most of the game with rather unlikable. The setting for the game's second and third parts is a confusing metaphysical conduit of the "brings your personalized inner demons to life" variety which ended up reading largely like a disguised self-therapy session for the writer. At least the music they furnished the game with is pretty good, which fittingly enough was the main reason I pushed myself to play it, to better contextualize a song from it I had picked out for a VGM list channel I'm running.
