New year, new thread!

Game #1 of 2026

Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones

A pretty direct improvement on everything from Blazing Blade. It felt shorter somehow, but still plenty satisfying. I honestly expected to not like the twins based on Heroes, but they were solid. Glad to have played this finally!
The amount of Fable fans that apparently think body morphing is the only thing that makes Fable what it is is larger than you’d think. People will look for anything to not enjoy a new game I guess.

Game #4 of 2026

Nut City Blues

A cute, short visual novel with a fun style about two mammals investigating the dark underbelly of Nut City. It very much did not take itself seriously, and I found that endearing. It did have one of its endings just seem to not work at all sadly though.

The new Fable looks so good! Playground Games looks like they really understood what was good about the series and threw in some great nostalgia. It's awesome they came back to the Richard Ayoade NPC teaser from years ago too!

Yo Baten Kaitos is wild. I kind of expected a twist but not like that!

I don’t think the state of Indiana should exist, it’s a blight on our country and maybe even just the Earth.

That being said, I am pulling harder than a teenage boy seeing sideboob for the first time for the Hoosiers to get their championship tonight.

Started Baten Kaitos tonight and what a pleasant surprise that its soundtrack is just banger after banger

Pokemon team using the first letter of your name.

Didn’t realize there were actually some pretty good options.

Game #3 of 2026

Sounds of Her Love

Felt very much like a test vn for ds-sans prior to Chemically Bonded. It isn't bad per se, but it's generic and simple. It progresses ridiculously fast, repetitive writing, and the CGs don't match artistically. Also a Welsh private school in Japan is a choice lol

Game #2 of 2026

Thimbleweed Park

Honestly this one made me realize I think I just plain don’t like adventure games. Artistically the game was a delight. But logistically and especially functionally it was a slog. Playing on the Switch was not ideal, but it shouldn’t have been as painful as it was.

My one year old just stabbed at her baby doll with a toy knife multiple times. Should I be concerned? 👀

Did not expect to finish Sacred Stones tonight and to two-shot Fomortiis lmao

I've been tracking my music listening through Last.fm since 2009 and thought it would be fun to share my most active year so far with 13,809 scrobbles. I love seeing the deeper data compared to say Spotify Wrapped.

Also dropping my top 10 all time in the last image for shits and giggles.

I think it's safe to post this now, I'm ending the year at 56 completed games for 2025! 🎉

It was a lot of really late nights to knock all these out, and there's about a dozen that didn't make it to completion, but I'm really happy to knock out an alleged 3.69% of my backlog.

Game #56 of 2026

Ashwalkers

Conceptually, I like it. The resource management was fine and a challenge in my ending. I can't bring myself to do more endings after sitting through two hours of just walking animations with occasional choices every few minutes though. Good ideas, subpar execution.

My wife has found okbuddy subreddits after under a year on the site 😬

Game #55 of 2025

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami

This was so charming! I desperately wanted the game to last longer because it hit just right for me. I loved the style, voice acting, humor, writing, etc. I hit one roadblock in my deducktions that really frustrated me, but overall it was great.

My wife got me a little space heater for my feet while I'm working in the basement. I don't know how I lasted nearly three years without it.

Game #54 of 2025

Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind

I found this entry to be a little disappointing. Obviously it still had the flaws of the other game, The Missing Heir, but I found the story to be less engaging. It was too drawn out. The last chapter’s art is dope as hell tho.

This is the third time I've been sick in as many months. Have kids they said, it'll be fun they said.

Game #53 of 2025

Survival Kids

Kind of a brutal game in all honesty for how cute it is. I didn’t hate it by any means, but the resource management is pretty unforgiving. Honestly I don’t know that I’d be able to beat it without a rewind for some parts. Def not getting the other 5 endings lmao

Game #52 of 2025

Donkey Kong Bananza

Hi, I’m the person that hasn’t played DK64 or really much of the Country games but was excited, only to be very whelmed by Bananza. I think there was a lot of charm (last 2 hrs oozed it) but the destruction made everything feel very much the same throughout.

I know what it looks like, but I swear I’m not a gooner
