Well here it is, the ninth year in a row that I keep a list of games that I have beaten. I made myself a goal of 50 games last year, but ended up with only 40. I would hope to beat at least that much this year, but with some of that pesky life coming in to play I am not sure I will this year. But still, it is nice to have goals, right?
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.

Started off this year with a fairly unique puzzle game. I picked this up on a whim during a Steam sale and ended up REALLY enjoying my time with it. The game is basically a jigsaw puzzle game, but instead of typical puzzle pieces they are pieces of a stained glass image. The game is relaxing and I really enjoy the stained glass art style. I even ended up buying the DLC and getting all the achievements the game had to offer.
This is a game that I had heard plenty of both good and bad about. Of course I tend to hear about the story in Quantic Dream games being not very well written, but I really enjoyed my time with Detroit and it was mainly because I liked the story. This was my favorite of their games so far and I really look forward to more of them in the future.
This would have to be an early front runner for surprise of the year for me. I had no idea what this game really was or if it was very good. I decided to download it thanks to Game Pass and just give it a shot. I ended up LOVING this game to pieces. It is just a fun game to play. I also really enjoyed the theme and style of the game, with the narrator making me laugh multiple times. I ended up playing this by myself all the way through and with a friend in co-op. I still plan on going back through again to get all the collectibles I missed.
Fired this one up in MAME randomly. I hadn't played this one in YEARS, but it is still a great game. If you like shooters you have probably already played this game.
Bought this one on sale on Steam after seeing it on this site. I ended up REALLY loving this game. I played through it multiple times, both the base game and with the remastered Love levels. I would totally recommend people play this one. It is not very expensive and not too much of a demand on the players time, and it controls so well.
After playing through the sequel, Kuso, multiple times I decided to go back and play through the original. Even though I played through the sequel first, going back to the original did not make it any less fun. This one still controls very well and is still quite good.
Got this one from a random bundle and when looking at the store page for it thought it looked like a lot of fun. Well I ended up loving this game even more than I had expected. It is a scrolling shooter with a pretty great, crazy style to it. I would certainly recommend anyone who likes shooters to give this one a shot. It is not punishingly hard, at least on the normal difficulty.
Got this one on a sale on Xbox One and thought it looked fun. I had never even seen this game before so I really had NO idea what it was. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It feels like a lot of other classic Neo Geo games, but with some fun twists.
Got this one for free on the Xbox One so I decided to give it a go. I haven't played entirely through a turn based role-playing game in a long time due to not having anywhere near the time to play that I used to. I have never seen a full episode of Adventure Time, but that did not stop me from really having a ton of fun in this game and really liking some of the characters. This game also had a lot more challenge to it than I had expected going in considering it is based on a kids cartoon. I not only ended up finishing the game, but went ahead and got all of the achievements as well.
While I may not be very good at shooters, I do still really enjoy a good one, and this one is certainly a good one.
