Wheels of Aurelia for PS4
I wish that I had realized earlier than your dialog choices rarely matter because trying to hold a conversation while driving wasn't easy, especially since their auto-drive is pretty bad as you will bang into other cars and railings. Other than that, this narrative driving game was kind of neat to an extent. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tacoma for XB1
I haven't played Gone Home, and heard mixed things about this, but Tacoma is actually a very good walking simulator. Instead of having a character narrate your experiences through stuffy, stilted writing, the main character was silent as you went through through a well-paced and interesting story. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg ...

One Strike (Switch)
This fighter lives up to it's name. One hit and you are dead. This game is so fun and simple. It reminds me of Bushido Blade. Fights take place on a single screen. You move left and right, can dash forward or back, one button attacks and one button defends. Only minor gripe is I wish it had online play. --- The reason why you couldn't see my Signature before is because it was Invisible ... Copied to Clipboard!

Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition (PC)
This was a longtime coming. I tried to beat this years ago but gave up and now I was compelled to see it through. Masterful. I wonder if Tides of Numenera lives up? I've been playing this for a week now and I'm tired. Couldn't put it down. So, I think I'll just say they just don't make CRPGs like these anymore. Kept me coming back till the finish. Very worth it and very intriguing a story. I'm willing to overlook its complications, its misgivings, and I only had the thing crash on me twice. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk (3DS)
It took me a month and 20 hours to finish, so a rare long game from me. I really like noir stories, so a collection of unrelated stories only tied by a few central characters is up my alley. This is my second Jake Hunter game after Memories of the Past. I heard mixed reviews for this, but I think Ghost of the Dusk is easily the better game. The only issue I truly had was something that all games like this share, and that is its pacing. There were also the minor issues of a few noticeable translation errors and since the slate of cases came from different games (only the titular case was an original), artwork quality was inconsistent.

Slain: Back from Hell (PC)
Super Castlevania IV meets Heavy Metal with a dash of Dark Souls. It's no Bloodstained, but boy does the music RAWK. There's even a button that lets you headbang after beating a boss. Aside from the unchangeable control scheme, gameplay is pretty solid. It's one of those you're gonna die alot games. My only issue is that sometimes there are traps that kill you in one hit but nothing overly unfair. Oldschool Castlevania is more unfair I say. Also dat final form of the final boss is tennis with Ganondorf but amped up. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nancy Drew 19: The Haunting of Castle Malloy (PC)
It's never going to be a Scooby-Doo plot, is it? I am looking at the games on this list and so far every plot with a creepy ghost just turns out to be something or other. And whenever it is a Scooby-Doo plot, the "ghost" is a crap animal or circumstance. I'm not complaining, but now I think I'm about to be jinxed when a real Scooby-Doo plot rears its ugly head. This isn't as good as the last one, but it has its own charm. I like the plot of this one and for once its subverted my expectations. I think this is the first time that But now I brace myself for what I've heard is one of the worse in the series.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (3DS)
Can I just say, what a wonderful year to start being a Dragon Quest fan. Of course I wasn't expecting a Smash Bros addition when I started DQ1 last Christmas but here we are. 7th game finally done. I like it. My only complaint though is It took alot longer to finish this one, mostly because of the insane amounts of backtracking and triggered conversations. It was real slow to start too but I heard the PS1 version was worse. I do enjoy the time travel aspect up until all the islands were restored but admittedly it took a loooong time before things got really interesting. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. I guess the next DQ is the one everyone's more familiar with. The FF7 of the franchise so to speak. I'll pick that one up on the 3DS soon enough. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)
And while I'm at it, might as well finish this too. This has been a long time coming. I just got stuck at the final boss, which wasn't hard per se, but required me to acquire specific set of real world item stickers to make things easier. Everything in this game was going so well until that point. Not that it means this game is good by any means. I dig the tracks though. But I'm glad to be done with this as well. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Incredibly well-made puzzle game. I had to look up solutions for some of the puzzles that utilize the playback tool, but it always feels good to beat a puzzle game that you rarely needed help for. I went and got what I assume is the basic ending first knowing that I could just restore an old save and go for whatever ending I get when I acquire everything and solve all the puzzles (which I am have already begun to do). --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg ...

Wailing Heights (PS4)
There's a lot to like about this, but the execution was a mess with poor design choices and various bugs. They helped make a four hour game feel like it should have been a two hour game. One of the worst things was its possession system. The whole game is you possessing different characters, and the rules are you have to switch from one possession target to another while both are on screen. With no way to find out where a character last was, a large chunk of the game is you running around finding finding and possessing them. In many cases, you are only possessing a character to do a minor task, and then you have to do the whole process over again with another character. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg ...

Halo: The Master Chief Collection - Halo 2 (XBO)
I enjoyed it more than Combat Evolved, I think. I think I came into Combat Evolved with high expectations which it couldn't fulfill, and I started this one kind of dreading it because I feel like it's the least talked about Halo. I felt the switching between characters was neat (although the story did get convoluted at some point because of it) and I enjoyed that I was pushed to use a wider variety of weapons, rather than just keeping the same gun(s) like I did in CE. I've also mastered the "oh it's a vehicle/Flood level I guess I'll just skip through the entirety of it" trick, which is pretty necessary to have fun in those levels. All in all, from the Halo I've played so far: Reach > 2 > CE --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ... Copied to Clipboard!
