Theyest Thou
Fun little top-down shooter where you have telekinetic powers. Difficulty felt a bit all over the place but I had a great time nonetheless.
Really damn good, probably gonna listen to the Commentary sometime soon.

Neat “reverse” horror metroidvania. Could really use a map though!
Short but sweet platformer. Doesn’t do anything too interesting/new but it’s alright.

Neat DLC that is about the same length as the main game. Loved the two new love interests in this!
STAR WARS™ Battlefront (Classic, 2004)
I used to play this a ton at a friend’s house so the nostalgia was huge on this one. Still really fun after all these years. It’s a lot slower-paced than the sequel and some of the maps are kinda unfair to one faction.
If you played any top-down shooters from 10tons, this one shouldn’t be that different. It’s a lot more hectic though, with huge waves of enemies trying to kill you.

This was truly awful. Stiff controls and awful hitboxes in a platformer? Yikes.
With the news of a standalone expansion I decided it was finally time to buy this game. It was quite decent, the choices don’t branch out too much and the ending was a bit shite. D’ Angelo was a true bro though, what a fun character.
I played through this just to get Moons of Madness…

Still not really sure I like the Halo games after playing this and Reach, but it was decent I guess. Fuck The Library though, what a boring ass level.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto III
This game has a real hard-on for timed missions.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit
Might’ve been my GOTY last year if I had played it then. Another great game from Dontnod, they’re quickly becoming one of my favourite developers.
I enjoyed this a lot more than the first season. Really interesting and original take on the relationship between the Joker and Batman. I wouldn’t mind seeing a season 3 of this series.

Little early because I probably won’t beat anything in the last few days. The Division 2 ate up a lot of my time :P

Pretty nice physics platformer, held up pretty well for a 16-year old game. There were some really frustrating levels though and the achievements are super broken so I haven’t gotten any.
For someone that doesn’t play a lot of puzzle games, this was quite an easy one to get into. I only had to look up the solution to a few puzzles. My only complaint was that you had to backtrack a lot to previous areas, which was not clear a few times.
I quite liked this free Visual novel. The premise is to send out a pair of heroes on missions to build up their relationship to save the world. It’s has some great and funny writing and is very inclusive, I highly recommend it!

A stylish, short detective game. Reminded me of Hotel Dusk and the Last Window a lot with the rotoscoped animation.
“Let me just extinguish these dynamite sticks real quick” spills bucket of water with dynamite in it “OH FUUU-“
God this game was a lot of fun, if frustrating at times (looking at you remote bomb vest guys). I used the Assaulter and Breacher a lot because I felt that the other classes were a little bit weak and useless.
I fell asleep twice while I still had this game running… not a great but not a bad HOG either. I do prefer the first two games from this series though.
This game oozed with style. It’s kind of a mix between a hack and slash and an adventure game. Loved the characters, the humour and most of all the banging tunes of the soundtrack. Definitely looking forward to see more from this series :)

This was basically 2D Doom and I absolutely loved it. There were some levels that kicked my ass but overall it was pretty doable.
I was excited when I first saw that The Master Chief Collection was headed to PC, as I’ve always wanted to play the series. It was well worth the wait! Definitely looking forward to play the rest of them in 2020 (hopefully).
Played through this in ScummVM to get the voice acting of the Special Edition in the original game (I thought the remastered graphics looked absolutely disgusting). A classic Point ‘n Click Adventure game that I hadn’t played before. The characters were all very charming and it was a really funny game! Had me laughing out loud a bunch of times.
A great 2D shooter with bullet time and some really neat mechanics. Kicking a pan into the air and shooting at it, resulting in them ricocheting into enemies was one of my coolest gaming moments of 2019.
Quite proud that I beat this without using abilites. The amount of times I got fucked over by trucks that reacted differently though…
A great beat-em-up where the focus is on parrying and dodging attacks. I sucked at the beginning but when I got into the rhythm I got really into it. Seeing those Gold medals pop up was immensely satisfying.
I’ll definitely go back to this game next year to give the New Dawn mode a try.
There were some great moments in this but I was just utterly bored the whole way through. I usually like walking simulators but this one did nothing for me.

Great but short little RPG. The combat was fairly simple but the game more than made up for that with how charming it was! A really cozy game to play on Halloween (or the day after it, oops). Still need to play through the Grubbins DLC.
Out of the few Visual Novels I’ve played/finished this is hands-down my favourite so far! Great story with multiple protags, twists and turns and a great sense of humour. The only negative was how clunky the interface controls were, not intuitive at all. Looking to get the rest of the achievements somewhere next year.
Got in the mood to play some Star Wars games after watching the first 2 episodes of The Mandalorian and remembered that I had this game. I was only familiar with the original Battlefront since I played a shit ton of that back at a friends house, so this was all new to me!
Visually stunning but I felt the gameplay was a little lacking in variety. It’s kind of Hotline Miami-like but you don’t have as a many options to tackle a level. You could punch enemies or use them as human meat shields and throw them at enemies. Not as great as I hoped but still a solid experience if you get it in a sale.
After really enjoying Transformed earlier this year I had somewhat high hopes for this game. Sadly it just didn’t even come close to the greatness of Transformed. Track and song variety was poor, they blended together most of the time and only covered a handful of SEGA franchises. I also felt that the tracks were very uninspired and didn’t do anything exciting. Overall it just felt like your run-of-the-mill Mario Kart clone. Shame.
An abandoned Early Acces game that broke somewhere in one of the last levels (I think? Doesn’t really show you which level you’re at). Kinda counting this one as beaten as I don’t want to play through this game all over again, just to play a shitty puzzle platformer. A save system would’ve helped.
