Sooo, I set myself a goal yet again of beating more games last year than the year before and I failed miserably. I beat 4 less games last year than the year before that, which I thought was pretty bad.
I am finding that with having more access to way more games, and a decidedly shrinking amount of free time I am bouncing from game to game way more often.
I think this year I really want to try and clean up some great games that I started but did not finish such as Last of Us 2 or God of War.
I will quote my criteria from previous years.
As with every year I am counting games that I finish the story or campaign mode on, or whatever the equivalent may be. In some cases a game may not have a story mode, so I will count it if I finish every achievement or goal. In the case of some pinball machines (on Pinball Arcade) I will count them if I finish every standard and wizard goal. I will also count a game beat if I put a ton of time into it if it has no way of finishing it. If the game is primarily multiplayer I will count it if I have finished all the achievements/trophies or possibly if the game has challenges or such.

A pretty short little indie game that is supposed to invoke games such as Banjo Kazooie on N64. There is not a lot to it, and the challenge is basically non existent, but I still enjoyed my time with it.
I had Accounting+ on my Quest 2 for a while now thanks to a HumbleBundle a while back. For whatever reason I decided to randomly fire it up and finally see what it even was. I was not quite expecting what it ended up being. It was really short, and felt more like an experience most of the time rather than a game. The humor in the game was also a huge miss for me, with most of it just being annoying rather than funny.
This was the NES version on the Cowabunga Collection. It has been a long time since I played this version of the game as I usually play the arcade version. This was the version I knew the best as a kid though, since I had it on the NES and had access to it. I still have a lot of fun playing it, but playing the arcade version is definitely a better version.
Finished this one on the PlayStation 5 through the PlayStation Classics section of Plus. I had played this on the PSP a long time ago, but did not own the DLC tables, so it was interesting to finally be able to play them all. I ended up playing enough to get the platinum trophy, The tables are interesting and it was cool playing tables based on these games, but the actual pinball physics in this just aren't really that great.
I FINALLY played through this game. This game is super nostalgic to me, but it is really just from a demo that I had. I played that demo over and over and loved it. I only ended up owning the game myself years later, but didn't really get around to it. Well since they added trophies to it on the PlayStation 5 I decided to go for it. Well even after all of these years I still love it and had a blast finally getting to play all of it. Got the platinum on this one as well.
I was going to wait to pick this one up when it was on sale since I have already finished it in the past. Well that was back when it originally released on PS3, and I realized that there was a lot I didn't quite remember so I pulled the trigger on the remake. This remake was really great, a lot better than I had even anticipated. This one really is one of the better stories in a video game, and I think I liked it even more this time than I did the first time.
Finished this one on my new Evercade EXP handheld. I had never even heard of this arcade game before, but I actually had a ton of fun playing through it. It feels pretty similar to Bubble Bobble, but with a couple of twists on the game play.
Finished this one purely for Retro Achievements. This is one of those compilations that came out during the 8-bit era that tries to give players "value" by offering a bunch of games. The thing is though, these are almost always full of trash games, and this one is no different.
"Finished" this one on the Atari 2600 and Colecovision for Retro Achievements. It has been interesting to see how different these old ports of Donkey Kong are. I had played the Atari 2600 version way back when I was a little kid on my actual Atari, but I never had a Colecovision, so that one was new.
Another Retro Achievements finish. This game is so basic it is really not very fun. I have played other games meant for young children that were still at least somewhat fun, but this one is really not one of them.
