"RULES"

1. Respect each other and the gamekeeper(s) - this activity is a gift to the community, and jerks kill the fun.
2. Beat games. Proof is NOT required via an image, but lying is lame and you won't win anything for beating the most games.
3. It doesn't matter when you started the game - as long as you finish it this year, it counts. However, you cannot load up a finished save file and refight the final boss to get a clear.
4. DLC campaigns can count as a single clear for their respective game, so beating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Champion's Ballad counts as two clears: BOTW and BOTW DLC. Any further DLC completed for that game will be lumped into the first campaign.
5. If you are interested in badges, when you beat a game for one, include something like 'Counts towards badge X' OR 'Earns me badge X, first game was Y.' One particular badge requires proof to obtain, however.
6. All participating past gamekeepers are thanked with a medal: image

#4 Dead Island 2

Man I adored this game way more than I thought I was going to. It’s easily the best zombie FPS/brawler I’ve played in years. Probably since the first Dead Island over a decade ago. If completely blows the likes of Dying Light out of the water too in regards to quality within not only the fluidity in gameplay mechanics but the visuals as well. I’m not sure what graphics engine Dead Island 2 uses, but it’s very pretty looking. And I almost experienced no frame dips at all as it ran in 60fps overall. The story was pretty entertaining to boot as was the dialogue and acting commentary from not only other characters but the character you choose too. I picked the Irish goth chick Dani and she was a pip and as sarcastic as they come which was gnarly. The weapon customization was very accessible and addictive to undertake as well. As you level up your character you’re constantly finding new weapons of various qualities from common to superior and you’re able to add elemental mods from Lightning to Fire to even corrosive damage. Some zombies have weaknesses and immunities to certain elemental types like firefighter zombies are immune to fire but weak to water, etc. I also loved messing around with environmental hazards too. Pour or toss a can of water on a live wire cable and watch a pack of zombies get fried and so on and so forth. And in regards to boss fights, while there was some stronger enemies they paraded as bosses that’s really the only area I felt that could have been improved upon. Even the final boss fight was a little bit weak. And if anyone is wondering if this is a sandbox like game, rest assured because it is not. There are open zones you can explore and fast travel maps to connect and transport you around between each zones but no objective was further than a couple of hundred meters within each mapped zone. And there’s no new game plus mode which I felt it could have benefited from too. Overall I loved my time with this one and I may go back to mop up any remaining side quests and such and I can highly recommend this zombie title over the Dying Light series without hesitation by far.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox
Counting towards the Metroidvania badge or the puzzle one - depending on what I beat later in the year it could be either.

Gave this a review yesterday in the 'recent titles' thread and then a slightly lower score in the 'Last game beat' thread - have a read of either of those if you care, but the game was overall enjoyable.

#3 down: Assassin's Creed: Mirage on PS5. I'd like to count this toward the Hyrulian Hero badge. This was pretty decent. Compared to the last AC game I played (Origins), this is much more like the OG AC games (e.g., emphasis on stealth and assassinations rather than hack n' slash gameplay/RPG elements). The story was just OK, but the ending was somewhat interesting, and the setting was cool. I still don't love how these games handle platforming and climbing (which feel almost like you're on rails at times), but, otherwise, the controls were OK. The graphics are pretty decent, and the voice acting was good. This got a 76 on Metacritic, and I think that makes sense.

Thanks for the first update Surpeme Sarna! Continuing on my variety goal this early part of the year. Beat my first GBA game.

#5 Super Dodgeball Advance -

moving on from my beautiful famicom style game boy micro (sniff). I knew there was a GBA and DS Dodgeball game. And I remember not liking one, like I remember the movement being very slow! I think the DS dodgeball must have been the slow one, because this one was actually pretty good. Played through the championship and became #1. It's a great game. And if I still had a physical GBA I'd probably seek to own it. But I moved on from GBA, considering how hard it would be to get pristine games still with the plastic around every one of them. Unless I wanted to pay 2-4 times the value on every single game to buy them sealed just to open them. Nah ah. No thanks.

#5 TMNT II: Radical Rescue

via

This Game Boy Ninja Turtles sequel had a slight graphical sprite remodel than the first game that made it look less stiff. It also played a little more fluently too but was still limited by the hardware of its time and relied on the same simplistic punch kick and jump punch and kick offensive style. The bosses were pretty much recycling the last game’s bosses with an inclusion of some weird army looking dude that shot some type of bullets at you that you had to fight a couple of times. It also felt a bit longer than the last Game Boy entry, adding an extra stage but I still managed to finish it within under 2 hours. Next stop, Radical Rescue, the last installment of the Ninja Turtle games on Game Boy.

First clear of the year on 1/8

#1 Close to the Sun

Recently got a new PC and it came with a free subscription to GamePass for PC. This was recently added to it and I knew I wanted to play it. Come to find out I had already picked it up on Steam at some point, oh well.
Took about 7 hours to play through it with 100% collectibles. It does a good job of nailing the Bioshock steampunk vibe. It is advertised as a horror game, and it's fairly creepy at first. It feels a bit more like a point and click adventure by the end though.

image

and right behind my first clear was

#2 Braveland Wizard

The third and final game I needed to beat of the short/charming Braveland strat/rpg series (I played them out of order). This one might be the shortest as it took less than 4 and a half hours to beat.

Yono and the Celestial Elephants
Can I count this towards Girl Power - its 100% aimed a young audience

A personal goal of mine is to complete another Alpha set this year with a full 27 games (also have numbers/symbols) and then I want to get another set after combining some of the rarer letters together, but that's the main reason I decided to play this as I need a Y - Q, Y and Z are pretty much the lowest represented letters I have. This was free via Amazon games and for a kids focused game it had an oddly adult like story to a game where you play as a once in a thousand years elephant that mainly solves simple puzzles but also slams into foes to defeat them and fetches crap AND is the savior the the kingdom. The story was dumb but it was only in 4-5 hours and that was enough. Oh well, Y is done, and I'm nearly done with a Z title as well.

Zen: Intergalactic Ninja

I beat the NES version of this game last year and don't recall seeing this GB version, so when I spotted it in LaunchBox library I decided to give it a go to see how it was different. Well it's a side-scroller vs. the other had 2 or 3 modes and 1 was sort of isometric. Game wasn't too bad and it had 4 themed stages plus the final boss stage, with only like 3-4 different enemy types but eh. After each of the 4 stage bosses there were some save the planet type things like the oil-slicked seagulls or knocking cans into a recycling bin. I was good at 3/4, the 4th that stunk was like a duck hunt with the d-pad and that was bad.
I don't think I really could/should claim this for You're Winner even though it wasn't great, but it wasn't that horrible either, really, especially considering the platform and lack of power of the system - I did get a few spots with pretty bad slow-down, even though I emulated it.

This is my 360th game since I started counting them shortly before joining this thread in '20 - crazy to think I beat that many... with a few duplicated across different years, still over 345-350 completely unique games beat in around 4 years+

#6 - TMNT The Arcade Game

via Cowabunga Collection

Now this one takes me back to when I was 5 years old at my birthday party in an arcade and spent a good $20 in my mother's quarters to plow thru this game in a few hours. Ah, those were the days. It hasn't aged too bad also. Animations were fluid. The tunes were still catchy. Those one liners were as cheesy as ever. And the last set of boss fights, Krang and those duo Shredders were such a pain in the butt. You can tell now all grown up those fights were clearly made to drain your funds too as every time you knocked off Shredder's helmet on one of the Shredder's and he turned red, a couple of seconds later he respawned with his helmet back on. Only after about 5 rounds of this did the 2 Shredder's finally fuse into one and then he could be toppled. Overall though, this was a nice trip down memory lane and shall continue next with possibly my all time favorite TMNT game, Turtles in Time.

Game #2 of 2024
LEGO 2K Drive on

I would like this to count towards Race Drivin' badge.
The first game I cleared is quite literally an on-rails shooter, so it'd count towards Destroy the Core.

I'm a bit out of the loop. Can a single game count towards multiple badges? Now that I have PSVR2 I plan to play through both RE8 and RE4 at some point. Both would qualify for the Raccoon City and the 2nd Amendment badges.

edit: Looking at posts beneath this I think I have my answer and each game can only go towards one badge.

#7 TMNT Turtles in Time Arcade version via

Cowabunga collection

This is my penultimate Ninja Turtles experience to date. Even the very good Shredder’s Revenge still can’t top this one for me. It just holds such a dear piece of history for me and not only that but it aged like fine wine to boot. It’s still as simple and effective as it was when it came out over 30 years ago. A short, sweet and to the point beat ‘em up that doesn’t waste your time. It gets you in, off and out in under 2 hours and leaves you coming back for more and then some. I adore it right down to its cheesy one liners and oddly placed sound effects that make still me giggle. And this emulated version comes with a turbo mode so you can play it like you were if you took an ample amount of amphetamines prior to pressing start. Good times indeed!

#8 TMNT Turtles in Time

version via

Cowabunga Collection

While I felt the arcade version was a bit superior with more audio tracks and a lot faster framerate (especially turbo mode on emulation), the SNES version was still fun as heck complete with cool bonus stages not found in the arcade version. Also the final boss was Super Shredder instead of just Shredder and they mixed it up a lot with bosses that weren’t a complete 1 for 1 from the arcade version. But the SNES version took me right back to me being 8-10 yrs old and visiting my cousin’s house on weekends and having us tear thru it in coop mode. Good times indeed!

#9 TMNT Tournament Fighters

via

Cowabunga Collection

I had no idea this one even had a story mode and it was basically an intro to the VS mode like most fighting games but very, very short. I was finished in about 7 fights. It was just like Street Fighter II Turbo. Heavy emphasis on the turbo too with its turbo mode feeling like I was moving in super fast motion. I almost had to lower it to normal speed. It was pretty ok while it lasted though but nothing to really write home about other than pretty much mimicking the Street Fighter series in the way you block and perform special moves. I recall having more fun with the VS mode with this one as a kid but again it didn’t last more than a couple of weekends before moving on to the next game. Fighting games within most generations to me are a good rental at best or a deep, deep sale unless you’re a major league gamer and compete.
