I'm hoping to come back tomorrow refreshed and figure it out en route to a hopeful finish.Turns out this was just what I needed, as I simply wasn't processing something easy last night for whatever reason. Metal has beaten The Gardens Between. Yeah, I liked this, though I wouldn't quite say I loved it. I particularly appreciated the sense of build-up present in its puzzles and storytelling this session, alongside the absorbing atmosphere that stood out last time. That ending was also nice.

Well, the final level was MUCH easier than the penultimate one... or at the very least, the solution was far more obvious to me.
darkx has beaten The Gardens Between A nice little puzzle game. Definitely some stumpers that made me feel dumb once I finally got them, but that's the nature of puzzle games. I really liked the atmosphere. I only ever played a little of Braid but this feels pretty similar. Probably not worth the $20 I paid for it but if you can get it on sale and you're a fan of the genre it's worth a look. --- darkx Games beaten in 2021 - 5; Most recent - The Gardens Between ...

ArkOfTurus has Beaten Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2
Enjoyed it a lot, despite some frustrating moments. Hachi is the best. The final episode didn't bother me as much as I was expecting, given some of the changes, but episode 2 did feel like too much repetition. I'll probably pass on episode EX (apparently I'd have play through episode 2 again to unlock it. I don't think I want to do that.) --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ...

Gameking has beaten Hitman and The Gardens Between.
I had never played a Hitman game before, and after playing this one, I definitely want to dive deeper into the series. There is just so much you can do in each level and I had a lot of fun replaying each of them. I think Sapienza and Paris are my favorites out of the bunch, but I didn't really dislike any of the levels. The Gardens Between was a nice little puzzle game. Some of the levels really got me thinking, but for the most part it was a pretty easy playthrough. That last level got me though. I'm going to nominate Devil May Cry 4, Death Stranding, and Resident Evil 0. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

So far there are five games nominated that I would definitely play (my three, plus my two supports) and a maybe (RE0), so now I'm just hoping the RNG doesn't colossally screw me.

Beat Colorado in Hitman. I liked that one more than I expected, there are a lot of ridiculous assassinations.
My only real dislike is that anything beyond 2 targets starts to make the level feel too long in my opinion. I like to tackle a level multiple different ways so have 4+ targets makes me not want to replay it as much. --- "Video games are meant to be just one thing. Fun.
