Overcooked! 2 Played it through PS Now. Played the first one just over a year ago. It didn't seem too much different but I don't think it really needed to be. It's a fun game and good palette cleanser. It's more fun co-op but playing single player is a good time, too. 4/50 --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! ...

47. Play a technically unbeatable game for at least six hours
NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007 Technically it happened weeks ago... And it's happened several times since. 50. Beat three games in a series Donkey Kong Land 2 Maybe I'm jumping the gun here a bit, but I've already decided to play two more DK games this year. Did the first three last year and doing this DKC3 and DKL3 this. I've beaten the Country games many times before, but hadn't touched a Land game since I played the original 25 years ago. It's a slightly wonky game, but worthwhile I guess since it's kinda distinct from the SNES original... DKL2 however... This was my first time through it and it's just a strait downgrade of DKC2 really. At release it had an existential purpose I guess, but at this point there's no point in playing this over DKC2... Even if you've played through DKC2 50 times... It's not a bad game, but at no point are you not wishing you were playing the SNES game instead. DKC3 is next, which is a game I really like. I have no problems with Kiddy Kong... 1.33/50 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ninja Baseball Bat Man Or could this be considered a sports game. I mean, the theming here is pretty damn strong after all... Also it's nuts...

Mega Man X2 Not the first time through, probably won't be the last. Personally it's the weakest of the first 4 X games, I know it's not the popular opinion but it feels a bit uneven to me.

31. Beat a game with a child lead
Illusion of Gaia I've never played a game that needed a retranslation more. It's just a mess. First of all the tone is all over the place. Half the time the story seem like something from a book for toddlers, and then it's like "how about some scenes about child slave trafficking and the source of human suffering". I mean, having played Soul Blazer before, I'm pretty sure I understand the tone they're going for, it's just not working with this translation. The scenes are also never developed enough. All the more serious themes are introduced out of the blue and later dropped just as quickly. There's very little in the way of resolution and any resolution we do get is glossed over very briefly. And dialogue is even worse. It's sometimes completely incoherent with characters saying sentences taken out of thin air relating to absolutely nothing. Sometimes they refer to themselves as "you" and at other times they have intense arguments with themselves. It really feels like whoever translated this had no idea what they were translating, the context of what was being translated, who said what and how anything fit together. If I didn't know better I'd say it was google translated... Except it was released in 1994 so ehum... What? Besides, Google Translate has been more coherent than this for many years now. The gameplay is fine though... ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's not what a remake or port is or basically every game qualifies since they were inspired by games that came before it, but nobody is going to police you on how you categorize things.

But if it were called Lotus Turbo Reboot or Outrun 2020, nothing in the game would need to be changed.

Rusty Lake Roots 27. Beat a game with mystery as a central theme Rusty Lake Paradise Roots is more supernatural while Paradise is more mysterious! While Paradise did depict a child in several scenes, i think they were flashbacks so can't classify it as a child lead, sadly (although the game wasn't particularly clear about this).
