Armored Core 6. Loved it to bits, and made me realise how badly I'd need good mecha games... haven't had one since Battletech.
I bought and finished the Mafia Trilogy a month ago. Forgot how good it was. I have since been playing Starfield so nothing else complete for a while I would think.
I got to the last boss in Eldenring and thought wow that's really shit. To be fair it was a great way to end a very over hyped game.
Tomb Raider 2013. Love that game. It's a mystery to me how they were able to croft (allow me this pun!) such a good story for that game but not able to repeat it in the later games. Even though their graphics is undoubtedly better, they feel like blant, nonsensical, un-mysterious clones
Alan Wake 1 and The American Nightmare follow-up. I'm also playing through control again now.
I wanna catch up before going into AW2, but I heard American Nightmare isn't cannon anymore so that may have been a bit of a waste of time.
Pikmin 4 was great. 10/10. Especially since 3 was so short, was good that this one took a lot longer to 100%. Mario Wonder is OK.
Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.
It was not Starfield
I just finished Spider-Man 2. Next, I will finish Spider-Man 2.
Last finished was Super Metroid. Tons of fun
Sleeping dogs for the second time. Wasn't bothered to collect all of the stuff after doing the story as I've other things to play.
It was good fun for the few days while I played it
I’ve had a VR run recently and finished Red Matter 1, Moss 2 and Red Matter 2.
All excellent games.
I played Moss and loved it. Moss II is sitting in my library waiting for my attention. I need to get around to it.
Final Fantasy XVI about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It is a very satisfying, increasingly fun, game. I love how the story was told and the progression of the combat system which continues to give you more options without getting more complicated. And it was actually a complete story unlike XV. I'd put it in the mid top half of Final Fantasy games I've played.
I played and finished Dredge. It's a fishing horror game, but a surprisingly relaxing experience! Very recommended. You go out with your boat in search of that rare catch. But at night you have to be careful of going crazy. Nice story too.
I just finished Barman Arkham Knight and I am still processing it, hopefully The Suicide Squad game is at least something similar to this 🥲
One of my favorite memories from college was when I was home over the summer, had no job, and almost my whole family was gone for like a week. I binged a replay through all 4 Arkham games and the gameplay never got old while the story was just as good as the first few times I played each of them.
Also, screw everyone who says otherwise: the Batmobile was a ton of fun to use and broke up the other gameplay extremely well.
Heretics Fork, very fun little indie game
Iron Lung, perfect short-form horror.
Smallands
If you like co-op survival style games it's pretty good. Not yet complete though which was a shame when we got to the end of the content.
I recently played through the Minecraft modpack FTB's Sky Factory 3 with three of my friends. Technically you don't really finish it per se, but we got to a point where we couldn't do much else without excessive levels of grinding and collectively decided we were happy to call it quits.
It was a lot of fun. I've never been a fan of playing other modpacks because they often focus on Minecraft's weakest points (combat is a big one). SF3 on the other hand focuses on what are, IMO, two of Minecraft's biggest strengths, creativity and the grind. Saying we were somewhat addicted would be an understatement, as I alone managed to put 144 hours (6 days!) in the game in around 2 weeks. And that was just me, my poor computer got left on almost every other night so friends could play on the server while I slept.
It was quite different from vanilla Minecraft which helped everyone avoid the burnout that vanilla+ packs usually cause for us. 8/10, probably wouldn't play it again, but the whole group had a solid two weeks of a fun new experience at the nice price of $0.
I recently finished Diablo 3 (finished the campaign, then went into adventure mode and played until I got sub 3 minutes GR 90 runs). And yesterday I finished the main storyline for Q.U.B.E. Anniversary Edition. Now working my way through the bonus sector 8.
Power Wash Simulator haha. Twas a silly game.
I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last "story" ending was Diablo 4 and I haven't liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending... Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it... It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃
Before this I guess it was "It takes two" and it was great.
Cut scene. It was Starfield. Cut scene. Once was enough. Cut scene. Fast travel back to Skyrim...
Pretty sure the last game I fully completed, not just did a successful run of, would have to be Beyond The Edge of Owlsgarde.
It's a point and click adventure game where you play as a deer who comes home for some sort of celebration, only to find his parents are missing. It's charming enough and I found the cast to be enjoyable, especially one special death scene where the English voice actor for the main character improvised and created a hilarious scene because of it.
It's short enough that a full non-commentary playthrough is around 2hrs20min long, but I definitely spent a lot longer on it since I had no idea what to do in certain scenarios. If you don't mind anthro animal characters and are looking for a decent modern point and click, I would recommend it. I personally enjoyed it despite sometimes having no clue what to do.
