Did some shuffling, moved FF15 and FF7R to the series category to make room for:

9. Beat a remake or enhanced port
17. Beat a first-person shooter

Metro: 2033 and Metro: Last Light (both Redux Versions). Last Light leaving Game Pass soon kinda forced this on me, and since I can't just start with the second game I went ahead and beat 2033 as well. Pretty good games.

Since I count the series category as one tally I only gain one point here. 40/50

Hypnospace Outlaw

Did a quick playthrough for the plus update. Still fun to read, but it's a shame that game'll never be challenging a second time.

40. Beat a game with a Metascore below 70

Long Live the Queen

Mostly replayed this because I saw it fit the category. Ended up beating it by focusing mainly on magic, athletics, and weapons while remaining completely oblivious to military affairs, her own countries' history, economics, foreign relations, and the ability to hold a conversation. Truly the ideal queen.

This is my third time starting a new save file for this game, but my first time actually clearing it. Feels good.

Finally at the point where I won't be able to fit random games I beat in. No idea what I'll end up doing for a couple, but we'll see.

Final Fantasy IX

For FFIX, this is the first playthrough in which I defeated Ozma. Thought about 100%, but no way I'm ever doing the jump rope challenge, plus I would need a separate playthrough to go for Excalibur II (which I may do in the far future when I come back to this game)

I had beaten the first two Arkham games, and after opening up City I realized it would not run on my computer, so it won't be making the 3 games in a series option. Guess I'll be jumping into beating the Oracle games for Zelda, to finish those for the first time.

6. Beat a game in a completely new series

Batman: Arkham Asylum

That's the confirmed one, I'll figure out where to put City later.

43. Beat a game based on licensed stories/characters

Batman: Arkham City

I'd have to force myself through something else with this, while I'll likely keep to just the games I've been playing, that'll be at 6/52 games fully listed (Mind Reflection still isn't in the doc on challenge #15).

Streets of Rage 4 was already on my list, so I'd still be at 48/50, but it does free up room for

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

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Picked up a somewhat old save, and finished a Golden Deer playthrough. Did the DLC, and am playing through Blue Lions now, but I honestly kind of wish I was replaying Black Eagles instead. Dmitri should be more interesting after the time skip, at least.

5. Beat a game released in 2020

Spelunky 2

Spelunky is one of my favorite games, but this one didn't grab me quite as much. The difficulty kind of went from endearing to aggravating. Not sure if I'll keep going back to this one.

Just a bit over 25. I can't believe they designed a story this way, made it consistently entertaining, and made it make sense at the end. Enjoyed the combat more than I expected, too, although it was extremely easy on normal, and a few moves were beyond overpowered.

Final Fantasy IV: Free Enterprise

Tried this with some harder settings (no free characters/key items, EXP turned down, no dismissing characters after they join, no recruiting dismissed characters, no FuSoYa, some harder randomization settings, and some other things,) but got good enough luck to cancel those things out, mostly. Thought I'd end up with a weird, unbalanced party out of necessity, but I ended up with the standard party, just with Kain replaced by Cid.
