Update 12 - Year 1
Little late to this one, but here we are. I’ll start off with a few fun stats and stuff (definitely not an attempt to hide how many games I’ve beaten in December 🤫).
My GOTY: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Fav game I played that didn’t come out this year: Disco Elysium
Comfort GOTY, right place right time: Schedule 1
Game with the longest session: The Outlast Trials - 7h30mins
Best game played in the middle of boring uni lectures: Megabonk
Game I yapped about the most: Expedition 33 - 7365345958295407652845 hours
Games beaten:
SILENT HILL f 
This is probably the weirdest game I've ever played. It's interesting and all the town stuff is pretty and fun, but all the otherworld stuff is a little boring and repetitive I suppose. There are some fun gameplay mechanics, but they don't really last very long since the game is quite short. Combat being clunky is definitely not an issue that I noticed, I don't see the problem with it. The boss fights were cool, but easy and over very fast. I would perhaps suggest playing on a higher difficulty than normal if you're familiar with these types of games, since you get showered with healing items like crazy, I discarded so many of them and only ever used items with the offering option for offerings instead of using them as part of the gameplay. Good game, but don't expect something like Silent Hill 2. Main reason why I'm deducting points from this game is unfortunately the otherworld.
Currently playing:
Ghost of Yotei (this is SO PEAKKK)
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (also peak, a shame I wasn’t able to finish it in time for the previous PoP cycle)
Megabonk (I am struggling trying to actually beat the final boss, my plan was Kevin but apparently his rarity got nerfed and I haven’t even unlocked him yet so who knows)
Universe for Sale
Cyberpunk 2077 (I know, this has been on here for ages, I just play like an hour a month lmao)
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
