34. Beat a game with an animal lead
Hollow Knight

I think that counts? Everyone in the game is an insect, which I assume applies to the player as well

19. Beat a platformer

Super Mario Odyssey

It's been awhile since I've beaten a game! I'm pretty late to this one, but it easily ranks up there on my list of favourite games of all-time, and is probably my favourite Mario, other than Super Mario World.

Have you ever enjoyed a game so much that you didn't want to play it too often because you didn't want it to end? That sounds kind of counter-intuitive, but I found myself enjoying my time with this game so much that I took it slow, only doing a single kingdom every few days, mostly because I wanted to prolong my experience with it.

I've still got another 400 or so moons to collect, though, so I'll be playing it for awhile.

It's technically two VNs in one but I'm just going to count it as a single game.

11. Beat a game made by a developer you like

Word Search by POWGI

A good title by Lightwood Games, makers of Pic-a-Pix Color which I enjoyed. I have another game in the queue from them as well.

Halo 3 ODST

I dont care what anyone says this is the best Halo game. Also I wish Bungie made more of these Halo side stories it's a really cool way to build the universe while trying different genres. Too bad 343 doesn't know how to make a good Halo game.

I'm probably being a little too harsh on it tbh, it wasn't horrible. What was your issue with Reach?

I liked Reach just fine. I just didn't love it. Campaign wasn't near the realm of what CE, 3, and ODST achieved. Online didn't have anywhere near the lasting appeal that 2 or 4 had.

That makes it the odd one out. I haven't played enough of 5 to render judgment, but I've had a lot of fun with it online.

Fair enough. I think the only reason I really enjoyed Reach was the nostalgia I had playing it in high school.

I've actually been meaning to check out Halo 5. Dont really have an excuse to not check it out since I'm trying Game Pass

AHHH!! After an entire month, I'm free! It's time to conquer more games!

36. Replay a game from a long time ago
Chrono Trigger
38/50

- A friend from work gifted me this a week ago, and in-between still playing BattleChasers: Nightwar and Trails of Cold Steel, I finished it up again for the first time in about a decade! I think this is the first time I went through the Black Omen, too. I always can't fathom just how much shorter and smaller the game world is whenever I get to The Time Egg. There are so many memorable moments and places that it always comes as a surprise how much of a machine gun its like hitting all those spots right after another. Maybe a good chunk of it is replaying it, knowing where to go, how to manipulate the treasure chests, and less surprises knowing what's happening. But it's still so weird getting to The End of Time less than a few hours in or fighting Magus at the tenth or so. This feels like a longer game than it really is, and that's a good thing.

Overall, had a really good time again.

LOADS OF CHANGES!

Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) --- 18. 3PS -> 17. FPS
Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls --- 50c. -> 18. 3PS
Danganronpa & Rusty Lake Paradise [switch] --- 50a. <-> 25. Horror
Danganronpa 2 & Rusty Lake Hotel [switch] --- 50b. <-> 7. Series

50c. Beat three games in a series

Rusty Lake Roots


- Played 90% of it a long time ago, but got stuck on a puzzle or two and it wouldn't let me continue or something silly. Finally got around to fully beating it, and still loved it more than most of the Cube Escape games. The story works well, but the puzzles are much easier in the episodic format.

Switching a bunch because I don't think I'm gonna get around to another shooter anytime soon, and Ultra Despair Girls can fill that slot.

Genre Savvy - Shawn Hunter, Boy Meets World 5.17, "And Then There Was Shawn"
- And I didn't even click on Genre Savvy yet to see it was the quote at the top of the page, =D
- Also, thinking on it some more, Shawn's pretty Genre Savvy throughout the show. "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow" is another good example

FTL

One of those games that I can replay at any time and still enjoy (even while spending a ton of time on subset's other game). I hope they port this one to the Switch at some point, too.

46/50

I also beat The Messenger (Fantastic game. Pretty much Shovel Knight if Shovel Knight wanted to be Ninja Gaiden instead.) but I don't think I can fit it anywhere.

16. Beat a rhythm game
Chime Sharp

After floundering in my first few attempts at beating this, I assumed that I would have to move on and do either Pato Box for my 2018 game or boot up SSB64 or Melee for Fighting game. I went back to this game only because the game I originally wanted to play needed to download a patch, and I guess tonight was my night.

That makes 50 on the year, so I await 2019.

20. Beat an action game
Spider-Man

It was a lot of fun, but I wouldn't rank it among my favorite games like I do the first two Arkham games. I felt like the side missions were really tedious, it got to a point where I just gave up on stopping the crimes. Which in turn stopped me from wanting to 100% which was my original goal.

That said it was still a great game and the story was amazing enough to keep me invested for the sequel. Where I can hope it will end up being among my favorites.

No chance of fitting anything random into the other three spots I'm missing (pre-90s game, sports game, third person shooter). Probably going to play Pyre and Vanquish for the latter two categories, not sure about the first.
