Starting a new thread here for the games I’ve finished in 2025!

1st is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All!

Still really good and holds up on a replay, but definitely the weakest of the original trilogy. Music doesn’t hit quite as hard as the first game and some cases dragged on a bit.

The Pikmin short is cute, but you can’t release the same short once with characters missing and again with the characters out back in and say it’s two shorts

Two really good things I saw last night were the film One Battle After Another, and the Dollman dance sequence in Death Standing 2

Game 23 of 2025 is It Takes Two!

Overall a solid co-op experience! So many fun and clever game mechanics, though it felt like it was missing a final level combining everything, it just kind of ends. Difficulty was also a bit all over the place, shockingly demanding at times for more casual gamers.

It would be weird if Bubble Bobble were meant to have an anti-alcohol message. But it was also be weird if it didn't, given how the ending plays out.

Why Is the Big Bad of Bubble Bobble Named ‘Super Drunk’? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games

Unpacking the rather surreal ending to the ‘pop-n-bop’ platformer classic.
