27. Beat a game with mystery as a central theme

Death Come True

It was alright. Felt like there were some neat ideas starting up, but it was a bit too short to do much interesting with them.

Sunset Riders

It was through the Arcade Archives, but there wasn't much lost in the translation. It's still fun, and there's still no way I'd win with less than $10 in quarters.

14. Beat a JRPG

Final Fantasy VII

Probably one of the best games I've played all year. Growing up I didn't really care for JRPGs, but I decided to go out of my comfort zone for once and try a genre I'm not all that familiar with. I have to say it was amazing. The story was enriching and the characters were awesome. Unfortunately, I spoiled it for myself a couple years ago where I was watching a video and it was talking about Aerith's death. If I could go back in time and prevent myself from doing that I definitely would.FORTUNATELY, that didn't totally spoil the experience for me as it was truly something magical.

50-52. Beat three games in a series (Game 2)

Mario Party 6

Probably the best GameCube MP. The minigames are all great and the boards were all pretty cool. My only issue was the requirements for beating it which is just playing a shit ton of the game and saving like 500+ stars, but other than that it was great

Okay i'm bending the definitions somewhat, although it's possible there could be sequels to it so logically it counts as a reboot.

2. Beat a game released between 1990-1999

Dragon Force

Mostly started playing this to help tide me over until Brigandine Runersia released. Ended up wanting to go back to it after (mostly) stopping with it, unfortunately I had to buy another battery for my Saturn, so there was no save to go back to. A fun, but very flawed game that I'm glad I own, but isn't at all worth what it costs on ebay.

The Last Of Us Part II. Fantastic game, glad I was able to avoid spoilers for it. Comparing with the first game, I think I lean towards TLOU1 having the better story, but the gameplay edge by far goes to TLOU2.

Kinda surprised I ended up replaying this before other VNs that I liked more, The new game plus mode made it pretty interesting to play along with Visual Novel Book Club. Well, until I got impatient and ended up finishing it again. Whoops.

35. Beat a game with a lead from a fictional species

Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

I think I bought this near when it released, but this was my first time actually finishing it. The dual protagonists on opposing sides always seemed interesting to me, but the writing and characters being pretty awful squandered any potential there, and the gameplay was pretty unremarkable. Not entirely sure why I ended up sticking with it this time.

I think I might end up going on a less well regarded PS2 sequel to a PSX RPG binge. Kind of a narrow category, but Valkyrie Profile 2, Wild ARMS 4, and Breath of Fire 5 all are somewhat tempting, and I do remember liking them quite a bit more.
