Regardless of whether they were released in 2025 or not, what are yours? I have five. Amateur numbers, I know, but I tend to bounce around between several games at a time.>QuakeCleared the original campaign.>EhrgeizUnlocked every character in arcade mode and cleared the RPG mode on normal.>Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass MoonPlatinum'd.>Stellar BladeGot both normal endings, currently doing side-quests to get the best ending.>Ginga ForceCleared story mode.
These games. I've been playing the GBA version of Robots, the game based on that animated movie, I may beat it this friday at the latest. What can I say? Variety is the spice of life.
I'll go chronologically because holy fuck I have a lot.>FelvidekTechnically beat it Dec 30th, but that was after I made my "Games I Played for the First Time this Year" list so it doesn't count. 5.5/10 game, which is pretty high as far as RPGmakers go.>The Case of the Golden Idol (plus the DLC)5/10. I went in expecting Obra Dinn, I got a souped up flash game (which Tangle Tower also is, but that shit was pretty damn good). It's got its charm, but those were kind of lost on me.>MiSide3/10 let's player slop. Glad a buddy got this for me, I wouldn't have wasted money on it otherwise. My best friend (different guy) had plenty of good laughs at me getting scared by the most mediocre horror sections this side of the Mississippi, though. (I'm not a horror guy, alright?)>Jedi Survivor5/10, while being a direct upgrade from the first game (a 7ish/10, for the record) it gets hit hard by the High Republic being hamfisted in everywhere, mainly the story.>Staffer Case???/10, not sure how to rate this one. I started by hating it, but it grew on me to the point that I'm looking forward to its sequel. Aviary Attorney is the better AA clone though.>Small SagaSpeaking of Aviary Attorney, this is that dev's second game. Unfortunately he trooned out partway into development, and you fucking feel it. 2/10, worst shit I played this year and singlehandedly convinced me to never trust an Ack with making something worthwhile.1/?, I'll keep posting in a bit. Just wanted to keep this thread alive
>>729754940Wait, did you fucking 1CC Exelica? The very best I can do on a good day is reach stage 5 and die at some point before the final boss. Bravo if that's the case.
>>729755813The only shoot 'em ups I've 1 credit cleared are Otomedius Excellent and Mushihimesama Futari on lower difficulties, so no.
>>729756054Those are still feats, assuming you don't mean Novice mode in Futari.
>>729756312Otomedius Excellent on Expert, so, every difficulty, and Mushihimesama Futari on Novice mode.
>>729757657Congrats on the Otomedius clears. You can beat Futari on Original. Remember, it's garbage CAN, not garbage can't.
>Pikmin SquaredThe normal Olimar journey might not count, but Louie's Quest does, and it's great. Played it like 6 times this year.>Tomato AdventureIt's ok, but at the end of the day, M&L is better.>Plumber for all SeasonsA-tier hack.>Sonic Robo Blast 2Great fan game. It took a bit for me to properly get a grasp on it, but after that, it's legit the best 3D Sonic. And that's without getting into the mods.>Sonic CDPlays like ass, but everything else about it is great.>Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bitI don't have much to say other than it's a great Sonic game.>Sonic Time TwistedIt was neat, but I don't want to collect all 16 rocks for the good ending.>Donkey Kong '95One of the best Game Boy games I ever touched. >Savant Ascent RemixI'm not sure what genre it is, but it's amazing. If you like Aradey score attack games, it's a must-play.>ENA Dream BBQLooks great but calling it a game is a stretch.>CubivoreThis is one of those games you need to touch yourself to get a grasp on it.>Pikmin 2 CavelessI liked what it was going for, but it really made this Cave hater miss them. This hack made the game feel very "not enough".>Pikmin 2 RegrownIf I liked Pikmin 2 more, I would've loved this. It's everything you want a hack like this to be. But as a man who hates caves, it was wasted on me. But if you like them, you GOTTA play this.>A husk at duskGBC homebrew that jacks off autam. I played it in the spring. It's just a maze.>Donut DodoGreat little arcade game from the 80s that's actually only a few years old. Great soundtrack too.>Chameleon (for the DS)shovelware>Dragon Quest 4 DSI started this for that "new" Dragon Quest Monsters game. Pretty good time all around.>PATAPON 1+2 ReplayMy first time really playing this series. 10/10 I don't really care for that recent boss rush mode. If I didn't already have Monster Hunter it'd be my go-to grinding game.1/2
>>729760078>PATAPONOh man, I played the absolute shit out of that game on PSP back in the day. Glad you enjoyed it.
>>729760078>Donkey Kong CountryResumed playing it with my brother because of that RudeJackArt video. He carried me hard during the King K. Rool fight.>Freedom PlanetSpark the Electric Jester is better.>Super Mario RemasteredThis is how I beat Mario 1 for the first time. Does it count?>Transylmania DeluxeFunny little vampire flash game.>flatwoods rpgmaker waste of timeShit was barely a game, and the puzzles were barely puzzles. It was impressive that he got some full animation in cutscenes, however.>3D monster mazeIt's neat from a historical perspective but that's about it.>Mario and the Patchmakers WorkshopA retardely impressive Mario 64 hack, but it can get annoyingly difficult in some parts. I cheated several times, and I don't feel bad about it. >Manos the Hands of FateDid you know this had a game? It's just mediocre beyond the novelty of seeing a bunch of bad movies as enemies.>Super Bomberman 5Best Bomberman game on the SNES, hands down. It lacks in big bosses, kinda sucks, but it makes up for it everywhere else. I hate this fucking dog like everyone else.>Super Bomberman 4It's also pretty cool with the rideable enemies but 5 is just so much more.>Bomberman '94It's another good Bomberman. That final boss is tough as shit. >Dottiedreads-nought Homebrew I played on a whim.>Ten(mariohack)Fun enough little thing.>Bomerman GenerationMid as fuck. This song is the best part of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67hOClK9yV8>POCKET BOMBERMANShort as fuck, but Bomberman with jumping has some novelty.>Bomberman WorldGreat music, shit game. Feels very unfinished. That last couple of bosses can eat my dick.>Mario: Christmas Island 1/2 and Nabbit Steals Christmas.Just some holiday Mario hacks. They aren't as cool as Merry Mountain, but they have better bosses.2/2
>lego jurassic world (switch)6/10. Of all the lego games I've played this was one of them>brotato (pc)7/10. Very fun little RNG game>theatrhythm final bar line (switch)8/10, this game was like crack for me. I usually only have the patience to play a game for an hour or two before needing to stop and do something else, I could (and did) play this all night>e33 (pc)6/10. I don't get the buzz around this one, I think it was graded on a curve by most people because it was an indy game. It was scored like an episode of masterchef australia, the music during cutscenes is laughably bad because of this>miitopia (switch)5/10. Charming but repetitive. Also a game from that era where nintendo filled every games with popups asking you to take a break for every ten minutes of gameplay. I liked that the tank class was an actual tank>donkey kong bananza (switch 2)9/10. Great game, my personal GOTY>kirby star crossed world dlc (switch 2)6/10. I love the base game to death but this was just more of the same and felt more like a level pack than an expansion>Pokemon ZA (switch 2)5/10. Violet and Scarlet were much better games, and I'll be extremely disappointed if this is the battle system for Pokemon going forward>Kirby Air Riders (switch 2)7/10. This game didn't really click with me even though it has its moments. When it hits it hits but it doesn't always hit, if that makes sense>Age of Imprisonment (switch 2)8/10, very solid musou spinoff. Robot Link is a very cool character and has won me over to the idea of a Zelda game set in the future>metroid prime 4 (switch 2)7/10 The only two prime games I've played was this and the prime remaster and I think this is the better game. Has some major design issues that hold back the game from being great thoughThis list is missing alot of the games I played on pc game pass but I'm not going to redownload the app just to see what I played at the start of the year.
>>729761467>DKC with the broSounds fun. K Rool was no pushover, especially that final pattern with the really short hops. Congrats to both of you.>BombermansNice. My favorite party game series.>>729762386>Final Bar LineFor some reason, it didn't click with me like the 3DS games. Probably because I miss the touchscreen controls. More power to you, though. I only played the demo once, so maybe I should give it another shot.
