11. Beat a game made by a developer you like

CrossCells

The newest Cells game by Matthew Brown, and every bit as good as the others. This one I found somewhat easier than the others, but it's still an enjoyable two to three hours going through its 50 puzzles.

Puyo Puyo Tetris

One of the games I pushed aside for Persona 5. Enjoyable puzzle game - tried all the challenges and arcade modes, and watched the ending in Adventure mode. I'll go for the platinum at some point

Fate/extella: The Umbral Star moved to 46. Beat a game that features historical events or people

11. Beat a game made by a developer you like

Mario Kart 7

Got the true ending.

If you don't count Yugioh, which was the last game I beat, where I only really finished the final 10% from where I left off of last year, I can't recall a time in the last few years where I've gone so long in between "finishing" games. More than ever, it seems like I'm playing games that have no real ending, like Gwent and H1Z1, and various mobile games.

I thought I'd make a run at fully completing a list, and while I'm essentially on pace being halfway there in June, if I don't start making an effort I won't get close.

28. Beat a game with the supernatural as a central theme

Never Alone

It certainly wasn't as bad as I was told it was, but some annoying controls and level design make this a subpar puzzle platformer. Think I might have liked it better if I could have played it co-op, which would fix some of the control problems.

13. Beat a WRPG

Bastion

Beat for the game of the month topic. Enjoyed my time with it, though the main story was somewhat easy throughout. Probably could have used the shrine to make it harder. It was nice to hear all the tracks in context that I've been listening to in VGMC for a few years now.

Been a while since I've actually posted on here and I don't remember the last challenge I posted, so I'll just post my most recent one and go from there.

9. Beat a remake or enhanced port

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.

I love Gears, but the community can be so toxic at times.

Personally, I think this is fine. Everyone is going to have their own definition on what it means to be a child so this one is pretty open to interpretation.

34. Beat a game with an animal lead

Crash Bandicoot (Remake)

Crash 3 is one of my favourite games, and while I've played parts of the second game, I had no experience with the original before this. Everything I read said that it was very hard, at least in comparison to the sequels, but I didn't think it could be that much more difficult.

After going through all the time trials on my way to the Platinum trophy, all I can say is:

Fuck Crash 1.

43. Beat another user's favorite game

Life is Strange

Man, this made me feel. I've had a weird journey with this game. I originally watched the first episode being played by Giantbomb, and, some time later, decided I probably would never get around to it and ended up reading a plot summary.

A while later, Robazoid got me re-interested in it with his write-up in his top games project. With it being free last month on PS Plus, I decided to give it a shot.

There were a few major plot points I remembered from the summary I read, but even then, seeing them play out still had an impact. Things like Kate dying in my game had me actually upset and wanting to go back and replay the episode, but I didn't. In the final episode, I found the nightmare sequence to not be very enjoyable, but the end of it with walking through Max's memories with Chloe was a nice touch.

In terms of the final choice, I chose to sacrifice Chloe. Going into it, I knew what my two choices were, and I always knew this is what I would choose. However, when I realized that I'd be going back in time and having it so Chloe and Max never got to experience the past week, it definitely hit hard. I almost went the other way based on that alone.

Overall, a great experience. Similar to TWD Season 1, though, I almost dreaded playing it out because of the emotions. That isn't a negative, however, and I'm glad I experienced it on my own.

46. Beat a game that features historical events or people

Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~

Really good visual novel. It's basically about fighting superpowered Nazis who are trying to summon an unimaginable evil into the world. (literal Nazis -- this is one of the primary villains: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Heydrich ) Fantastic cast of antagonists, lots of cool powerz and fight scenes, just a lot of fun all around.

Glad to hear that topic of mine accomplished something, especially something as great as getting other people to play Life is Strange!

I'm also happy to hear you enjoyed it. Regarding the spoilers I didn't really care for the nightmare sequence either. The one shining moment was the hallway of memories at the end, though, like you said. I was pretty obsessed with the game by the time Episode 5 came out, so all of those memories meant a lot to me too!

Oh man, this also reminds me that the first episode of the prequel to Life is Strange is coming out soon-ish!

I moved Crash Bandicoot to:

because it didn't make sense to put the third game in that category, which means:

34. Beat a game with an animal lead

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped


I legitimately dislike these games now because of the bullshit time trials.

34. Beat a game with an animal lead

Tadpole Treble

A short music game (I'm not sure if you could call it a rhythm game, since you're trying to dodge the beat instead of hit it) that I picked up for about a dollar in the summer sale. Neat concept, cute visuals/story, good music, but I can't say I had all that much fun with the game in the end, because I really sucked at it! It may just be a matter of slow reaction times on my part, but I spent a lot of the time bumping into obstacles and missing collectibles because I just couldn't keep up with the pace. And def not doing the ridiculously tough-looking extra challenges after this, orz
