2. Beat a game released between 1993-2002
Pokemon TCG

Wasn't sure if this constituted a "strategy" game, so I tossed it here. Also, beat Halo 2 a couple days ago. That, along with Halo 3 and Halo 4 will be my "3 in a series", eventually.

50-52. Beat three games in a series
Heretic
Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders
Hexen: Beyond Heretic

4. Beat a game released between 2013-2022
Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise

I was concerned about the 3-in-a-series challenge. I originally was going to use the three games included in Die Hard Trilogy on PS1. But then I got stuck in Die Hard 2 which put paid to that idea. Heretic/Hexen has been in my backlog for many years!

I've still got the problem of the trope challenge, there are games I own in the couple that I saved at the start of the year, but most of them are long-winded games and I'm yet to be in the mood to start any of them!

Anyway. 29/52

Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 4

Of these 3 games, Halo 2 > 4 > 3. I think I still enjoy 1 the best, and I can't remember where I would have ranked Halo 5, as I beat it a long while ago. Still have Reach and ODST to beat and to put into categories (one into shooting games, unsure of the other).

And so begins the creativity where it comes to making games fit! I don't play Fighting games, so ROTT with some melee weapons and optional fist attacks, will have to do.
