I don't really post in this thread, but I just wanted to say that I beat Cave Story(+) for the first time today. I only got the normal ending so I know there's more to it, but it feels really good to put a game to bed like this after getting stuck on the final boss half a lifetime ago in 2004-5 when the original freeware Aeon Genesis translation came out.
My big gaming goal for 2022 wasn't to beat games necessarily, but to bring my Steam average achievement/completion rate from 24% to 30%. We ended up having our second baby in September so gaming goals naturally fell to the wayside, but I did enjoy having that kind of focus to help me decide what I should play next. Here's a list of games I made significant progress on this year:
- Cookie Clicker 92% done, that's 537 achievements folks. Still have this one running in the background during workdays.
- Wizorb honestly I don't like this game and I haven't beaten it yet but I went from 15% in 2013 to 40% done now and that's okay.
- Cave Story+ boosted from 1% in 2018 to 44% now, got the coward ending and normal endings on easy, still counts.
- Western Press went from 36% in 2017 to 80% in less than an hour just mopping up easy challenges. This could be a fun party game I guess
- Demon's Tilt 41% done, gonna keep booting this one up here and there to get the more gettable achievements. It's a really fun pinball game!
- Vampire Survivors 69% done, I don't see this game ever leaving my Steam Deck.
- Slipstream 45% done, really fun arcade racer, cars feel really heavy for some reason.
- Trombone Champ 42% done, pretty funny experience but boosting completion any higher means grinding.
- Abyss Odyssey went from 29% in 2015 to 41% now, this was another game that I had on the back burner forever and wouldn't have gone back to without this little exercise.
- King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition 58% done, it turns out it's really easy to get a bunch of offline achievements if you set the AI to dumb as rocks easy and give yourself infinite super meter.
- Streets of Rage 4 68% done, this was a big Steam Deck game for me, was able to get a bunch of achievements for beating the game with a bunch of different characters.
- Castlevania Advance Collection 33% done, I had beaten Circle and Harmony and petered out on Aria back when they originally came out. This time I got as far as I could in all three without grinding and I'm not sure I feel like going any farther.
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon 90% done, this was probably the biggest game I beat on the Deck this year. Tons of fun, in the top 3 of the series that I have played with Zero and Kiwami 2.
- Buck Up and Drive 46% another really fun arcade racer, plays different from anything else in the genre.
- Bomber Crew 36% I don't think I'll be beating this one anytime soon because it does get tough, but I got it over the 30% threshold so I'm happy.
- 12 Labours of Hercules III: Girl Power 23% in 2020 to 63% done, fun little timewaster, was at the top of my games list because it starts with a number.
- 1917 The Alien Invasion DX boosted from 28% in 2020 to 61% now, I liked the music and mechanics of this top down shooter but visually it's gross.
- Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island 100% completed, great game, I gotta pick up the sequels!
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 67% done actually beat this one as well, maybe my favorite Soulsbourne game.
- Block'Hood 51% done, beat the campaign, fun little city builder/puzzle game.
- Action Henk boosted from 29% in 2020 to 52% now, silly little runner game, managed to beat the main stages.
- Feather 100% completed, open-world bird game, more of a toy than a game, got 100% achievements by booting it up.
- Devil May Cry 5 41% done, beat the main game on normal, I do have to go back to it at some point to mop up some of the stage specific achievements and watch the live-action cutscenes
- Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad went from 23% in 2015 to 64% now, this is still a very silly meme game of its time but I didn't hate it
- Hatoful Boyfriend went from 6% in 2015 to 100% completed, not the biggest VN guy out there but this stayed interesting throughout.
- LUFTRAUSERS from 42% in 2017 to 66% now, I managed to sink a goddamn blimp so that felt great
- Brigador took from 18% in 2020 to 38% now, the dev drama is really disappointing but the game's still a blast
- Mortal Kombat 11 34% I played this one a ton on Switch when it first came out and just re-bought here to get the high-fidelity experience. I might go back to it at some point down the line to boost completion score higher as it's all very gettable.
- Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection 47% done, just cheesing arcade mode on all the games with save states. Probably never going to play online since I would just use Fightcade for that.
- Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth: Record of Lodoss War 64% done, actually beat this one, fun little Metroidvania game
- Capcom Arcade Stadium boosted from 30% in 2021 to 40%, I only have 1942 and Forgotten Worlds. Forgotten Worlds is still fun!
- Fire Pro Wrestling World boosted from 34% in 2020 to 59%, the visual novel mode they added to the game is cute, but the achievements are all based around trying the different match types and grinding out matches and create-a-wrestlers
There's a bunch more games that I booted up but didn't make enough progress to mention here, but that's enough words for now. I didn't think I had played so many different games this year but the Steam Deck in particular has really given me these opportunities to squeeze in some PC game time that I didn't have before.

I just beat Rabi-Ribi for the first time, including the post-game, in about 20 hours. This is a game I first started in 2016, so it feels great to check it off the list.
The game has 220 achievements in total and a large portion of them are associated with beating the game at higher difficulties, speedrunning the game, sequence breaking, beating bosses without taking damage, etc... I was able to get 73/220 (33%), and I don't see myself getting much higher than that without spending hundreds of hours more on it.
Overall I think it's a great game but I don't have the bug to obsess over it for that long.

Completed Void Stranger : I got all of the achievements in one sitting. It's a pretty simple Game Boy game. The music is nice.
