48. Beat a game that starts with the first letter of your username
They Breathe

I have a soft sport for Xbox Live Indie Games refugees. This one's very short, and very simple, but atmospheric and interesting enough to be worth the $2.

11. Beat a game made by a developer you like

Samsara Room (Rusty Lake). Played Cube Escape from them last year and enjoyed it. This game is shorter but is the same escape room style of game

37. Beat a game you'd dropped or had a long hold on

The House In Fata Morgana. So this started as a game I would just hop in for an hour at a time since the pacing in the early parts is pretty slow. For whatever reason I held on it for quite some time while I focused on other things. Decided to hop back on it recently, and after a certain point everything just clicked for me, and I couldn't put in down the rest of the way. This is absolutely an incredible visual novel. My only knock on it is the pacing at the beginning, but once the game gets going it never stops. This is a must play; I played the Steam version but I think the PS4 and Switch versions have extra content so I'd probably go that route.

Banjo-Tooie. Like the original, it took me a while to get into it, but once it got going I had quite a lot of fun.

27. Beat a game with mystery as a central theme
Last Window: The Secret of Cape West

I had a good time with this. It basically feels like a second go around at Hotel Dusk, with tighter gameplay and less empty filler. I like the characters (even if a couple seem like retreads of those in the original game), I like how subtly the emotional beats are usually played and how the game doesn't revel in its melodrama, and I like how many little character touches there are here and there that add depth to everyone. It's flawed for sure but it's just a cosy world to be in, even with the subject matter.

I'm sad Cing went under right after this, I haven't played anything else that has the same kind of vibe as these games (I like Ace Attorney a lot but in a different way, these scratch another itch). Also the 2D art was great (the 3D not so much, but it was the DS!). I wonder what the devs from these games are doing now.

33. Beat a game with a robot/artificial lead
Nier Automata

Rolled credits on this weeks ago, but 'beat' the proper ending yesterday. I have many thoughts on this game. I'm gonna need to sit on it for a while to really digest the deeper meanings, but man this was a very good experience. Don't want to say any more in case I'm not in fact the last person around here to play it, I went into this knowing next to nothing and enjoyed the game all the more because of that. Please try this if you have any interest in well-written sci-fi action/adventure games with bits of philosophy and incredibly creative narrative design!

18. Beat a third-person shooter

Mass Effect

The QoL changes are nice, but they can't save the sidequest design. I probably shouldn't have near 100% completed it, but I did. Whoops. Still an enjoyable game, of course. Will probably end up moving this to beat three games in the series, assuming I don't get distracted from Mass Effect 3 (normally a threat, but since there's no multiplayer in this I'll probably be fine.)

4. Beat a game released between 2010-2020

Danganronpa V3

So a couple weeks ago someone made a strangest game you felt the urge to immediately replay topic. I think this is pretty high up for me. Not because it's a strange game to want to replay, but because I didn't actually want to replay it at all; I wanted to replay the board/gacha/dungeon crawler mini game. I didn't have a completed DR3 file anymore, though, so I replayed the entire game to get to that. I am weird.

Disappointed by this. Enjoyed the writing, but there wasn't enough of it. The actual gameplay is extremely monotonous, and dear god did it ever need an inventory screen. Several of the planets were a pain in the ass to navigate, and there weren't enough unique dogs.

Subnautica. Had great fun with it, though I think it loses some of the atmosphere later on when you get the vehicle depth modules and enemies aren't terrifying anymore. Also it's pretty buggy. At its best it is terrific though, I think it'd be even better if you had to get outside your vehicle more late-game.
