This is really as much for my benefit as it is yours. The title says it all: Games I played a decent chunk of this year so I can actually remember come GOTY stuff or maybe for personal recollection without having to search through all of my blogs.

I probably could've done without spending 8 hours of my life playing this game. While not unabashedly awful, it's not good in any sense of the word.
Continued from me playing it last year. Screwed myself over with party respeccing, I didn't have the patience to grind them back up. Given that I got pretty damn close anyways, I'm just going to pretend I beat this one.
This one I actually did finish, partially because it gets easier as the game goes on rather than being continually brutal the same way the third game does. Still easily the slickest and most interesting game in the series from a mechanical and presentation perspective.
The first "big" kickstarter game I backed that actually came out. A decent tactics game with moral decisions that secretly don't matter and a battle system that could've used more variety. But the rotoscoped art design and grim tone made it worth playing.
A revival of a classic series that I think did the best job it realistically could have. Not perfect by any means, but its heart is in the right place and that counts for a lot should they make another one.
Game I backed on Kickstarter back in the day. A very well made jack-of-all-trades RPG that doesn't excel in any single area but manages to be the party-based Fallout-esque game the developers were aiming for (but still not entirely Fallout).
A high-quality RPG that is somehow leaps and bounds above what Larian has done before. While it's honestly not much in the story and character department (it prefers goofy dialogue and situations over deep meditations on the nature of humankind) it's still charming enough to compliment the generally amazing, Temple of Elemental Evil-esque combat. Then my computer broke and I lost my save, so... we'll see about me finishing this anytime soon.
What could've been the sequel to Final Fantasy V I've always secretly wanted squandered a lot of my goodwill by running out of content 2/3rds through the game and just repeating boss fights ad-verbatim.
This game seems legitimately dope. Will play more... when I regain access to the Wii U.
Played a chunk of it when the Loot 2.0 stuff came out, but it still wasn't enough to draw me back in (or buy the expansion). I just guess I'm not much for the loot lust gameplay loop that this thing runs on anymore.
