I realized I haven't actually announced any games I've beaten this year. Uncategorized for now:

New completions:
Hato Boyfrined
Dishonored 2
DanganRonpa V3
Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows
Borderlands 3
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Rebeats:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (randomizer)

Maybe others? I don't know, need to think about it. A lot of the games I've put in time on haven't been finished, including big time-wasters like Hearthstone or Civ VI. I've dabbled with a ton of little stuff, too.

43. Beat a game based on licensed stories/characters

Mad Max. Fun game, if you're a fan of the Arkham games the gameplay is in a similar vein and worth a try

Defense Grid. Been very casually playing this one the past few years, doing a level every now and then. Saw that I only had two levels left so I decided to finish it up to get this category locked up.

41. Beat a game with a Metascore above 90

Persona 5 Royal

Didn't think I'd want to replay this so soon (especially enough to pay another $50 for it), but here we are. The new characters were a somewhat awkward fit in the main plot, but their own section was fantastic, probably my new favorite section of the game.

Slay the Spire

Was a little surprised to see I hadn't already played through it this year. I think this was my first time playing Watcher outside of beta, though, so I guess that tracks. I'm still not entirely sure I know how I'm supposed to play her, but the deck I had sure melted the Time Eater quickly.

Progress for me is going to be slow, but i'll see how i do.

47. Play a technically unbeatable game for at least six hours
Hill Climb Racing 2 (2016) iOS

Every month your progress up the ladder is reset, so it's not technically beatable.
--
7. Beat a game in a series you've already played some of
Burnout Paradise (2008) PS3

Played most of the other games in the series, but not all.

I'm changing my #14 challenge to "Beat a racing game" as i don't play JRPG's.

Time to actually list a new one.

15. Beat a puzzle game

Mind Reflection - Inside the Black Mirror Puzzle (You can just put this as "Mind Reflection" in the doc)

I still have 4 uncategorized games, but this one was potentially the only puzzle game I'd beat this year, so perfect time to toss one into there.

Hades

Fantastic game, although it's Supergiant Games so that probably goes without saying. Hades might end up being my favorite of them, though, (it certainly is from a gameplay perspective,) and it might end up being one of my favorite games of all time. This will almost certainly end up on the list of roguelikes I have on my list every year.

Well, I am going to cheat a little bit here. Flower, Sun, and Rain is in the same universe as The Silver Case and has character overlap, but it isn't necessarily a prequel or sequel.

7. Beat a game in a series you've already played some of

Final Fantasy XV. I beat the vanilla game back when it was first released before all the patches and extra plot; this time around I beat all the content (all sidequests and character episodes). Not quite 100%, there is one fish they added with the royal edition that is such a pain to catch and I just wasn't having fun with it. Game is much better than I initially gave it credit for, there's still some holes with the story I wished they filled but I can at least accept the end result.
