Gears of War 4. I was feeling a little out of it today and decided to just play a couple of the dumber action-focused games I had installed but never finished and apparently the last time I played this I stopped like a mission and a half from the end. Gameplay was pretty solid, I haven’t played Gears since back when 3 was new but it played about the same as I remember the old ones. The story was kind of dumb and ended abruptly but I guess no one plays Gears games for the story. Pretty okay overall

I've finished the game a few times already but it was a nice challenge having to build everything in a cramped space where there's not much room for conveyor belts

13. Mega Man 11. I was stuck on Yellow Devil for 9 months and I finally finished this after beating him yesterday. Good rear end mega man game except for a whack final boss. Getting into the flow of properly swapping between the gears during boss fights pwned and it has great + challenging robot master stages. The double gear is extremely OP.

There's so much tedious, annoying poo poo in this game (and the original) but on balance both playthroughs are probably in my top 5 gaming experiences ever. Even knowing they were all coming, all the emotional punches hit just has hard as they did when I played the original for the first time. An excellent remaster of one of the best games ever imo.

I might see if I can squeeze an Automata playthrough in before the summer lull is over.

Pretty blurry at times but still perfectly playable. It’s stayed at 30fps for probably 99% of the game which is pretty impressive imo given the hardware. Controls were perfect in handheld with the Hori Split Pad Pro.

Resident Evil: Village. Absolutely fantastic. Combat was a lot smoother than 7, I loved exploring everything and discovering all the hidden secrets, and it could be pretty scary when it wanted to as well. Having areas and bosses themed after a bunch of different horror tropes was cool, especially after how samey all the enemies in 7 were. I’m excited to see what’s next for the series

Director's Cut. started playing this last night waiting for yakuza 3 to finish downloading and finished it this morning , short little puzzle game thats kind of too easy. i would bet half of this already short game was spent walking down hallways long enough for the lady narrator to talk through their ripoff portal story.

6. Yakuza Kiwami 2 Full completion list, all substories (+ Majima saga)

100 percent completion doesn't feel right to claim on this one despite clearing the completion list. I never found out how to unlock S rank in the coliseum, didn't do all the Bouncer missions. It's an awesome game, maybe my favorite in the series so far. It probably still goes to 0 but Kiwami 2 is incredibly good.

For the coliseum you need to do all substories to get the last tournament.

oh lol. i did that and just never went back to purgatory. i don't think i want to fight the amon brothers in the coliseum though, i'll be satisfied with the full completion list.

i hope virtual on is never in another video game.

Dragon quest 6
Played 4 5 and 6 close together and all of the hype from 5 died about 4 hours in. I had to turn off random encounters with a cheat in order to finish. I dont think I'll be playing 7 as its apparently the same devs and I don't think they understand why dragon quest is fun

Nier Replicant, all endings (A, B, C, D, E) Incredible game. Really fun gameplay with an interesting story and a great cast of characters. I was worried that it would get old running the game over and over again for the endings but it never did really, the gameplay was fun enough that I didn't mind redoing sections and the new twists and perspectives on the story kept it fresh. Kainé and Weiss are probably two of my favorite characters in gaming now. I really can't recommend the game enough. On to Automata now, which I'd played a bit of in the past but never got very far into.
