November 2025

Made a ton of progress this month! Per usual, I also gained a fair number of games, but I’m glad to actually have a bit more time to get completions :)

This is my rating after playing through the DLC after beating the main game. The DLC requiring you to play every character all over again on the new map, along with the new characters on both the old map and new map, was absolutely ridiculous and ruined my initial enjoyment of this game back when it was only the base game. I'd still recommend it if you don't want to achievement hunt it or if you really like games like this, but the DLC makes achievement hunting it way too much of a slog now and saps all my remaining enjoyment out of the game.

A classic among romance VNs. It's definitely dated with weird pacing and language for a fair number of the routes. To touch on the pacing more, the slow pacing is fine due to the setting, but I feel like they rush certain events near the climax of routes extremely hard to the point it is jarring (e.g., Mai and Sayuri are prime examples). There are plenty more issues I could talk about, but overall, the game is quite solid and memorable. The atmosphere is amazing, most of the characters are wonderful, and the OST definitely enhances it. Yuichii is a bit of an asshole, though, lol.

Route Ranking: Ayu = Shiori > Nayumi > Mai > Makoto > Sayuri (basically not even a route... she deserved better...)

While the atmosphere and overall message were quite nice, I thought this game didn't respect your time at all; everything moved at a slow pace. The actual gameplay also wasn't very fun after the appeal of the environment wore off, and it felt like the actions they made you do dragged on way too long. I also thought the delivery of the story's main messages was a bit preachy and didn't tell you anything new.

Overall, this was just a letdown, and I kept wondering when the game would wrap things up so I could finally be done with it. I'll make a more in-depth review later, but man, this one sucked more than I thought it would (I even dropped it for a few months before finally finishing the rest of it in one go).

This was a brilliant FMV game! The drama, the intrigue, and lots more are what make this game a gem! The only downside is the number of paths that lead to death, and the trial-and-error of finding the route to success can be a bit frustrating. Also, unlocking all the achievements after finishing the game is a bit annoying, as some minor things from earlier chapters influence random endings, which you would never figure out without a guide. Still a wonderful game, though, and I'd highly recommend it!

September 2025

Been playing a lot of RuneScape. At least most of my new games were acquired through trading, as birthday gifts, or simply being given to me by developers/publishers for free. Also… apparently Dungeon Clawler got an update that added more achievements shortly after I 100%’d it…

July 2025

Okay, I PROMISE that most of the games I obtained were either free from developers/publishers, received through trades, or won in giveaways! I “only” purchased four bundles :D (Games are my one vice in life…). At the very least, I was able to make a fair bit of progress despite being very deep into my summer program and doing PhD work nonstop, so I should be able to still complete a fair number of games even once my PhD program is in full swing :)

April 2025

Okay, I actually completed a game this month! Crazy!

A “shame” I also got a million more games via bundles, HEAVILY trading, and my influencer stuff… I’m actually a bit worried about if I have a problem at this point…

Also, if there is any way to make these headers also act as a spoiler in markdown, then I would love advice on how to do that… as the added games section is a bit massive :D

March 2025

Okay, so due to my limited time these days, I’m probably not going to have tons of games completed like I have in the past, so I decided to restructure this format for my monthly updates. Hopefully this one is more aesthetically pleasing (I put more effort into coding the markdown for it…). I promise I’ve been trying to assinate games despite not fully completing any!! I’ll maybe tweak my new design a bit more over the months…

Nothing :D

⭐ Completed Games of the Month: February 2025 ⭐

Ending the month with ANOTHER grand total of ZERO games completed this month! It seems like figuring out PhD admissions (just got accepted into a program) and publishing a book at the same time tends to reduce gaming time :D
