✨FINISHED GAMES 2025✨
#1 Ghost of Tsushima (2020)
Combat is the star here. Tough but so rewarding to beat bosses. A few times the game bends its own animation rules which is frustrating. Bravo to the environmental art team. Hoping Yotei isn’t bloated content/budget wise.
4/5

On this day in 1999, 25 years ago, Pokémon Gold & Silver were first released.
These games started the second generation and had you travel through Johto to defeat Gyms and defeat Team Rocket before heading back to Kanto!

Happy to hear an Xbox handheld is confirmed. I would really love to take Game Pass and my existing library on the go. I suspect we see next gen box in 2026 and then a handheld shortly after.
in a Bloomberg interview, Xbox chief Phil Spencer says Microsoft’s Xbox handheld is a few years out, the Xbox mobile store is delayed, and there are no “red lines” over what Xbox games could come to PlayStation www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
