Topic: Games You Recently Beat?

de Blob and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Still trying to chip down my backlog before buying a bunch of games for the holidays.

Pac-Man World Re-Pac for the Switch is 100% finished. It is good enough. The original Pac Man is a nice bonus for beating the game.

I finished AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative, which was pretty good. It didn't have the same impact the first one did, but it was still a fun ride. I like the new characters like Glen, Tama, and Andes Komeji. Felt and looked better than the original, as well.

I will say the action scenes are pretty terrible. You have to shut down your brain for you to get any enjoyment from them. Add in the fact that they have QTEs and a lame track playing; it felt like torture.

The writers need to understand that they don't have to be over the top to be interested or engaging. They have the tone and characters; they need to calm down.

Finally got around to finishing Kirby and The Forgotten Land, after getting distracted with a return to XBC3. Easily my favorite Kirby game of all time and I hope they continue making Kirby games in this style going forward.

I just beat Metroid Prime to celebrate its 20th anniversary. I swear that game gets better and better every time I play it. I constantly pick up on new things that find new ways to optimize my time. It's just so good.

I bought Super Kiwi 64 for the Switch with the gold points I had stored and 100% finished it. The gameplay is surprisingly fun and the music is really good. I propably would have enjoyed the game even more without the weird and dark stuff.

Edit: Today I beat Andro Dunos 2. I did not know how much fun Shoot Em Up's are. It is a difficult game and I only managed to beat it because I played on the easiest difficulty, but at least I managed to reach the last stage on the normal difficulty. The music is cool too. I will try a few more times to beat the normal difficulty.

Finally beat the first Danganronpa last night. I enjoyed it for what it was, although I do wish there was more gameplay stuff outside the trials. The story was cool. At first I thought some of the characters they chose to keep alive were odd choices, but thinking back on it the ones that maybe would have been better greatly enhanced the story by the way they died. The ending was obviously kind of disappointing just because you don't really find out the truth, and then the after-credits cliffhanger, but I guess maybe the second game fixes that? Overall, glad I finally got to play this game I've heard so much about, and if I can beat Octopath Traveler before the series leaves Gamepass I'll move on to the second one.

I beat Splatoon 3. Yeah, they really found their groove with the campaign for these games since the Octo Expansion. And especially when done with a main campaign with an overworld, its pretty clear how much better this is than the first 2 games' campaigns. The only issue I had is that certain aspects were also either Octo Expansion lite or too easy, until the handful of huge jumps in difficulty.

Though I do still wish the post-apocalyptic adventure they hinted at at first happened. I dunno if a full on adventure instead of separated stages will work as well, but I think its worth a shot.

Asterix & Obelix The Ram From Hibernia is a good Asterix & Obelix game for the Switch. It is simple fun. A few little puzzles here and there and mostly beating up romans, the usual. The charme and humour is there and the atmosphere is very positive and gives a warm feeling. A lot of the music tracks are really beautiful.

By the way I used up almost all of my remaining gold points in the eshop and got Star Ocean First Departure R. It is discounted for the next ten days and costs 8,39€. I really like it and thought maybe someone else is interested in a cheap jrpg. As far as I know there is only the digital version on the Switch anyway.

Finally got around to beating Ristar after playing it on and off for the better part of a year!

What a delightful retro platformer. Levels are immensely creative, Ristar himself is an utter joy to control, bouncing up and down and all around the stages, and the music is quintessentially Mega Drive with some absolutely wonderful tracks. It's not the hardest game in the world but anyone who enjoys 2D platformers should definitely give this a go. 8/10, would definitely recommend!

So I finally ‘beat’ beat the main campaign in Splatoon 3, well over a month after I thought I’d beaten it. It’s probably not too much of the spoiler to say that there’s a secret kettle after you finish the final boss, which was apparently too secret for me to realise it existed (I think it was mentioned but I was hammering the A button and skipped through that screen).

A friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in years came over and asked me to help him complete it on his game, which is how I found out it existed. We stayed up for much longer than we should have as I played through it on his device, and finally completed it at some ungodly hour in the morning. Then I beat it again today, thankfully in much less time, on my game.

So yeah, Splatoon 3 Hero mode finally beaten (albeit not with all the weapons).

Kirby: Triple Deluxe (3DS) - Definitely a fun romp with modern Kirby, if not a bit safe at times. I did enjoy this title more than Return to Dream Land. There isn't much to the story mode; a mysterious Dreamstalk appears in Dream Land, and King Dedede is kidnapped by a mysterious figure. Naturally, Kirby gives chase. The game is beautiful and the 3D effect is used well, especially when switching between the foreground and background. The Hypernova ability/gimmick is fun for puzzle solving, and many series copy ability staples return here.

As with other Kirby titles, there are several fun side modes too. Kirby Fighters is a nice Smash Bros. type setup where Kirby knocks around other clones, Dedede's Drum Dash is a fun rhythm game, there's the classic Arena Mode, and Dedede Tour (still trying this one out) is a nice time attack mode where you can play as the King himself!

I have finished the storyline of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town PS4 but I still have a lot of to do (post game contents).
The Town Hall requests were pretty much challenging and the amount of quantity they asked about were pretty much insane as I have to work hard my butt to get the amount of quantity to finish the request and the rewards were really useful.

I finally basically beat Octopath Traveler. I just finished the eighth and final Chapter 4, completing everybody's story. I know there is a final FINAL dungeon and boss, but I looked it up and it does not look fun or worth it (a 9-fight boss rush that you have to do in one sitting because you cannot save at all? No thanks!) So I consider it beaten and will probably just watch a video of the final boss fight to see how it ends.

I saw Unpacking was on Gamepass and had heard such good things I thought I'd give it a go. Just beat it and that was certainly...a thing I did. Can honestly say I have no idea what all the hubbub is about surrounding this game. The "story" was just a basic one that could have been practically anybody's in their 20s or 30s. Often I had no clue what an item was and just placed it in random places until it worked. The best things I can say are I didn't pay money for it on Switch and it didn't take very long to beat.

I recently finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on the Switch. This is a very good game that I'd call a visual novel first, then a RTS/SRPG second. The VN aspects appear in the Remembrance segments that tell most of the story. The strategy aspects are used in the game's Destruction mode, where the titular 13 sentinels are used to stave off invading waves of kaiju. Combat happens in real time until a character's turn comes, then freezes until an action is chosen. Analysis mode allows the player to view previous cutscenes and reveal pieces of information integral to the game's plot, concepts, characters, and even random items (like food). The story is told in a nonlinear fashion with some aspects of the game gated behind completing certain sections in both the Destruction and Remembrance modes; Analysis mode can be used to view events in sequential order. The plot is very good, though out there.

13 Sentinels is a beautiful game with decent music, a crazy plot that'll keep the player guessing, and contains strategy elements that can be difficult in later parts of the game, depending on the difficulty settings and how many sentinel upgrades the player deigns to buy. This game is definitely one of Vanillaware's finest, but the genres involved and the storytelling won't appeal to everyone.

I beat Megaman Zero. Uh yeah, I had heard it was a bit overly difficult, even for this series and that's definitely true. One game I'm glad I went with the re-releases' options of making it easier. Limited lives is questionable for this game, its difficulty, its "there was an attempt" item system, those checkpoints were vital for me.

I still liked it overall but its very easy to be underwhelmed by it. The difficulty without the checkpoints is more annoying than adds to the experience, the admittedly clever and subtle reveal that much of the game is secretly one large overworld just seems like it makes the game feel less like a complete Megaman game and more like a half finished Metroidvania. I swear half the missions are just in the desert area too. Also it feels like it has less music than the NES games and those songs are not as good as the NES games'. It kinda feels like a rushed out experiment more than the start of a major, well liked Megaman sub-series. But y'know...the gameplay's still pretty strong, so that makes it worthwhile. But based on what I've heard, the sequels are better. I hope so. Megaman ZX is the only other game in this 6 game collection I've played before this and it was a lot better too, so I hope the others are closer to that quality.

Just finished Half-Life 2 (the base game) on the Xbox One. I've beaten the game many times on PC but never on a console.

I do not play this game, I experience it!

What a masterpiece and it was released in 2004

@Zuljaras Got the PC version when it first came out and it was beautiful, then got the Orange Box for PS3 and it was still great.

So wish they would do a giant Orange box for Switch with ALL Halflife games included (ie First game/Blue Shift and Portals etc) now that would be AWESOME!!

Beat Legends Arceus today. I completed everything needed to fight Arceus. Excellent game that I wish I had played sooner.
