I can't remember the name of the main character in Torment Tides Numenera but I remember liking their big city and The Maw a lot.

In some places they refer to it as "rounding" a game, as in the way old arcade games just start over when you complete all the levels.

I've literally never heard that anywhere before

My least favorite is calling levels "boards" as in Mario 3-5 is a tough board or I really like the board E1M1 in Doom.

Strike that, no, it was the deranged person who called Persona 5 a "Strategy RPG"

Defeating a game sounds quite metal.
And overcoming a game makes it feel like you became the eventual champion.
Besting a game makes it feel like you got one over on it.

Gotta say I like the second more because it means no more second chances. I am using the last one right now.

You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, bravo sir!

Game I've beat this year:
Inscryption
A Short Hike

Playing:
Slay The Spire (forever)
Hitman
Red Dead Redemption 2

I'm trying to get 100% completion on RDR2 but I don't know if I have the patience to do all the challenges and what not.

I kinda like the super boring phrase “I played through the game”. I think that implies the same meaning as “beat” without sounding so dumb in my head
