Welcome to The GameTZ Game Club! This is my attempt at forming an easy to get into book club type thing, but with games! Anybody, and everybody, is welcome to join in on the fun!

Rules:

- Each month a random game will be chosen, by myself, for the club to play. Games can vary from the beginning of gaming onward to current-generation platforms. There are no limitations!

- You have from the 1st of every month to 11:59PM EST of the final day to complete the designated game. 100% completion isn't required. The point of the club is to provoke game discussion, as well as give GameTZ veterans and new users a place to mingle!]

- For every game completed, post a picture as proof of your completion Example. This is essential in order to receive your badge and entry to the monthly raffle.

- You will be awarded with a badge each month you complete the game. All badges will be proudly displayed next to your name in the original post. As long as you "roll credits" the game is considered beaten!

- Some months will feature prizes! Every user to complete the game of the month will be thrown into a drawing to win prizes! Users will be assigned a number and users will be randomly generated at some point the following month.

- Prizes will vary. Prizes will beon a donation basis by either me or another member. Sometimes physical, sometimes digital. If you would like to contribute, drop me a message.

- If you don't own the game, and you have access to it on another platform, you're welcome to play it that way. Just make sure that it's the same version, to qualify for the prize or badge.

- If you do not want to participate in the games, but would like to join in on the conversations, please do!

- If you would like to join, just post here, and I'll add you to the list of users. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or criticism, please don't hesitate to post them!

Alright, finally got around to finishing up Super Mario World. That took way longer than expected. I originally was going to do one world per day and they just felt super short and then I wound up just not touching the game for a few weeks.

Stray is one that I would love to play some day. I'll just have to wait for a good sale.

I honestly respect that. I wouldn't have played it myself, had my buddy not bought it.

He's like family, so we use Steam's family share feature. Very convenient, because it's made me play games I otherwise wouldn't have bothered even looking into.

I finally got around to starting this today, only got to beat the first bounty but was enjoying it. Reminded me of Trover and overall was fun, though I didn't love that bounty fight as the grapple/swinging wasn't great. The dialog was fun, especially after getting the knife. I'll likely push this one to the top of my priority list for the rest of the month. I've been wanting to play it and was stoked it got picked as some extra motivation, but I just messed around with some other titles on my XSX and been playing on other systems as well.

It's been a chaotic month for me so I'm probably gonna have to make this one up even though I recommended it. I can't wait to get into it though.

Made some good progress in my last 2 sessions in the game, like Trover, the voice of Kenny and some NPCs is starting to annoy me but the game is still decently enjoyable. I'm working on the 7th bounty so I'm nearing the end. Some things have been fun and funny, others not so much but I suppose that's to be expected.
Looking forward to finishing this, this weekend.

Ended up not waiting until the weekend, I beat this just a little bit ago - forgot to take an image during credits, so image here is of my earned Achievement: https://photos.app.g...

Game was fun, glad the thread pushed me to beat it now vs. waiting as I was able to run through it and revisit some areas looking for chests (before the final battle) in like 8 days, while I may not have pushed that much otherwise. Game was a bit buggy for me. Like some enemies spawning or falling into the floor. But the biggest one that sucked the 2 times it happened was the respawn failing b/c I feared my save was busted. First time was near the end of a longer session last night where I triggered a fight that I didn't want to, so I opted to pause > reload last checkpoint, well that kicked me to the main menu/screen, thought that was odd, so I hit continue, screen cycled and back to main screen, uhh... ok Load > my save... back to main... Fudge, it better not be screwed up... killed the game and restarted, and thankfully it was fine. The 2nd time was concerning as it happened in the fight against the final boss after I died. I didn't stress too much and killing the game and restarting was enough to resolve it.

Nobody up to guessing next month's game?

What if I told you that one person who completes February's badge will be randomly selected to win a prize?
