Games I played 2015 Edition
Making this the third year in a row that I am keeping track of games I buy, play, and/or beat throughout the year with short thoughts (usually a sentence.)
List items
-
Not a bad game, though I never want to hear that fucking song again. Beaten January 2
-
I am willing to forgive the lack of true story missions due to the insane story scenes. Beaten January 25.
-
Fun little game, love the aesthetic. Beaten Feb. 7
-
I enjoyed the writing in this game quite a bit, though it definitely has that middle chapter of a trilogy feel to the ending. Hope they make a third game to complete the story. Beaten Feb 28
-
Uh, what? Beaten March 8
-
Weird game. Beaten March 14

This is one of those games where the good parts are so good that the bad parts stand out that much more. The game is gorgeous, and exploring to find the collectibles is very fun. The story is pretty good as well. But the sequences at the end of each dungeon are aggravating given they are minutes long, require precision platforming, and have zero checkpoints. Nothing is more frustrating than making it to the end of one of these sections and missing a jump or being half a second slow in one of the chase sequences, and having to start the entire sequence over. Also, the fact that I cannot continue my completed file to get the last of the collectibles is unacceptable. Beaten March 16

This is a dark fucking game. Beaten March 19
-
Fun game, gets really difficult the longer you play. Beaten March 20
-
Don't know that you can ever actually "beat" this game, but I bought it the week it came out and have enjoyed what I have played, though I still don't understand some of the systems that cause traffic and how that affects every other system in my city, or how exactly to overcome the traffic. Purchased March 14
-
Fun game, but I kinda feel it is not as good as the first. Haven't beaten it yet, not sure that I will this year. Purchased March 14
-
Backed this game way back when, I wasn't hoping for much, but this game has exceeded those hopes. Didn't expect to beat this game this year, but having a week between classes gave me the time to do so. Fun game, I quite enjoyed it. Received March 25, Beaten May 4
-
There is something about these games that I really love. Beaten April 30.
-
Finished the second act. I enjoyed it, but I am not sure how that ending works. Beaten May 5
-
I enjoyed the story and the gameplay was fine; it's no Thief II but what is. Beaten May 6
-
Fun game and I really liked the story in it. One hell of an ending. Beaten May 7
-
This game is so fucking duuuuuuummmmmmmmb. Beaten May 11
-
So. Many. Loading screens. Beaten May 14
-
Fun game. Beaten May 16.
-
Not bad, though a few of those later levels get really annoying with teh trial and error. Beaten May 28
-
Simple game, but I really enjoyed the story it was telling and how it developed. Beaten June 16
-
Silly, stupid, and all around enjoyable. Beaten June 18
-
Fun game, scratched a metroidvania itch for me. Beaten June 20
-
Fun game, but it's reliance on auto-scrollers in the latter half of the game is really disappointing. Beaten June 21
-
Leading into the final mission, I had the feeling that the game would be well served by Geralt succumbing to his wounds when all was said and done. Having seen the ending now, I don't think my idea would have worked as well as I thought. With the last few years of unsatisfactory and bad endings, I happy to state that The Witcher 3 has a satisfying ending that bucks the poetic trope of the tragic hero. Beaten August 12
-
Fan service aside, this is actually a competent and enjoyable RPG. Even if it over uses forced loss boss battles. Beaten August 14
-
Fun game but some of those levels towards the end are fucking annoying. Beaten August 17
-
Gorgeous game. Beaten August 17
-
Fun game, the ending seems a little contrived though it does make some things from Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 work. I didn't go into it hating Quiet, but I am surprised at how much I liked her character. Beaten October 4
-
Among the running for my GotY. I may have been slightly disappointed in the destination (I kinda predicted half of the ending,) but damn if the journey wasn't outstanding. Beaten Oct 22
-
Interesting concept, played the Redux version. Beaten November 14
-
I have yet to play a Daedalic point and click adventure that I didn't enjoy. This is no exception, charming characters and an interesting plot made this very enjoyable. Beaten November 16
-
Played mainly just to see where they went with the plot. Beaten November 23
-
Beat the hd remaster on PC. Fun game. Beaten December 8
-
Fun game, though I hate the way BUD moves. Beaten December 27.
