Another year of going is upon us! As I did last year I'll be tracking my game completions in a singular thread.
I wish you all a 2025 full of great games, healthy lives, and good news!
With that said, here's my games beat, starting with the first one beaten today!!!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Canari Battle Music
I still have a lot left to do in 'Pokémon Legends: Z-A', which happens when great games release so close to each other. So I kind of just picked a random song since I don't know the OST yet.

Well that'd be a bummer if true, lol.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses - The Apex of the World (Rain)
Speaking purely from my own reference point, this tune from 'Fire Emblem: Three Houses' is absolutely up there with the best tracks found on the Switch. Xenoblade-level greatness.

Absolutely shocked at the moment. I haven't collected Pokemon cards in a bit because it's so cost prohibitive with the scalper/resell community being bigger again. Every year I put the list of missing cards needed for my Living Dex and suggest some new card packs. I never get gifted these. (1/?)

You’d better take a Tanooki suit, Mario. It gets quite nippy in World 6 this time of year.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Wings of Kynareth
This tune from 'The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion' is one of those I came across in a massive random playlist online. I'm glad I did though as I'd never heard this fantastic piece before!

Bayonetta 3 - Fertile Rondo
Today marks the 3-year anniversary since I beat 'Bayonetta 3'. I loved this game (and I love the series). This song is so damn fun. It has real 'The Fifth Element' vibes. Perhaps that's on purpose.

We shall see how long I can hold out before buying Balatro again on mobile and working on all that next.
It's good to have a proper game on mobile.
We'll see how far these Dicey Dungeon DLC rounds keep my attention.

I never completed this on Switch but on Android I find myself redeemed. It was an incredible time beating all the different rounds and that finale was truly grueling. Beat it by the skin of my teeth but I came out victorious.

So I don't care if it's a psychological problem, but I'm still pissed that Nintendo killed Dr. Mario World.

500+ super dedicated Metroidvania fans made a tier list and Prince of Persia The Lost Crown ended up as an S tier. It's a beloved game in a beloved genre.
The dev team got disbanded and there will likely never be a sequel. This is a great example of why AAA development is broken.

'Chicory' is a bucket-list game for sure. It has a lot of appeal but I've not found time to play it. Lena Raine, of Celeste fame, has a great soundtrack here.

Honestly, I feel like if they came out with a Garbodor bean chair, similar to those giant Snorlax ones, I think it would do well.
Weirdly enough.
