Forums - Gaming Discussion - List of Games You've Beaten 2020

  • Nier: Automata (PS4) (9.5/10) One of the best stories I've ever experienced in video games with wonderfully written characters, combined with a huge amount of gameplay variety and a fun and fast-paced combat system, which had been the weak point in Yoko Taro's earlier works. Easily going to make my top 50 games of all time list this year.
  • GRIS (PC) (8/10) An absolutely gorgeous 2D platformer, easily one of the best looking games I've ever played, with a beautiful soundtrack layered on top of it all. The actual gameplay is quite simple, but solid, and there are some very satisfying moments of platforming in the game, even if none of it is all that challenging. It is a very short game, but every moment I spent with GRIS was thoroughly enjoyable.
  • Middle-Earth: Shadow of War (PS4) (8/10) A solid open world game made better by the nemesis system that did the same for Shadow of Mordor. The gameplay is fun, the world has a lot of nice variety to it, and although the story is kinda silly in the context of the books, but as a kind of non-canon side thing it's fine enough. Gets a bit grindy at the end, which soured me a little towards it, but it wasn't too bad. If the epilogue had been like in the original release before the balance changes and the removal of lootboxes I probably would have not been nearly as kind towards the game, but as it stands now I do recommend Shadow of War. 
  • Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (PS4) (8.5/10) A charming and gorgeous and a sequel to one of my favourite games from the previous console generation. I'm not sure if I would rank it higher than the first game, though. The gameplay is vastly improved compared to the first one, with the battle system, side quests and the other side stuff available for you to do just being much more interesting and varied in comparison. The story and character are also very good, but I might still prefer the first game's cast and story to this one. Still a very good game, and well worth the time I put into it.
  • The Banner Saga 2 (PC) (8/10) The Banner Saga-games (at least the first two) aren't necessarily groundbreaking tactical RPGs in any way, at least as far as gameplay is concerned. Every element of the gameplay can be found in other games in one form or another, but these are still very well put together games with a battle system that has plenty of tactical depth to it. The nordic mythology-inspired story is very well written and the characters are interesting as well. Still, perhaps the most impressive aspect of these games is the visual style. The backgrounds and characters look absolutely gorgeous, and the animated sequences always look great as well, though I wish there were more of them. Overall, Banner Saga 2 is a good game that I enjoyed playing through, just one that doesn't really bring anything new to the genre.
  • A Short Hike (PC) (7.5/10) A charming little game that I finished on a single sitting. It's unlikely that I'll ever go back to the game, but the short story it tells is quite lovely, and the relaxing, low-stakes gameplay is perfect for unwinding in-between other more demanding games. If you're looking for a game to just take your mind off things and just relax for a few hours, this is a very good option for that.
  • Nioh (PS4) (8/10) A very good Dark Souls-inspired games, that doesn't quite reach the same heights as FromSoftware's titles. I enjoyed the gameplay for the most part, the story was fine, if somewhat disjointed, and William is a good main character. The locations aren't as interesting as those found in Dark Souls for example, and the world as a whole also feels like a collection of disconnected places that don't feel like part of the same world very often. Still, despite my issues, I very much enjoyed the game overall, but unlike Dark Souls or Bloodborne I'll likely never replay it.
  • Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince (PS4) (8.5/10) Played through the game in co-op, and as of right now it might be my favourite in the entire series. I'll have to go through it alone at some point to come to a conclusion, but even with the co-op playthrough Trine 4 is a very good game. The puzzles are better and more varied than in previous games, the gameplay much more fluid and intuitive, and while the story has never really been that important in the series outside of setting up a fairytale-like tone, it's fun and charming as well. Just an overall enjoyable game to play, and a great co-op title as well.

Currently Playing:

  • The Witcher (PC) Slowly making progress on-and-off. About halfway through at the moment I think, maybe a little more.
  • My Time At Portia (PC)

Just Finished: God of War (PS4)

Great game. Slow to start. Unbelievably beautiful graphics from a technical standpoint. The art direction is also phenomenal, this is one of the most surprisingly colorful games I have ever played. I think I preferred combat from the previous games. The camera is annoying. Kratos is a richer character this time around. The story has a lot of epic moments but the gist of it is a bunch of fetch quests for xyz magical items so you can go to xyz magical place. The open world elements work better than expected. Ellie is way better than Atreus. Why no sex minigame? 9/10

Parasite Eve (ePSXe) [Finished April 23rd, 2020] - Rating 8.1:

Great game with a good if too repetitive soundtrack. Was without much flaws in it's first half, and while the second half did start to present some snags that made me less enthusiastic for the game overall, i'd still say it was great in the end. Final moments are especially memorable, and a lot of the best the OST has to offer is in the last hour. Cool experimental battle system that mixes action with an AT(B) meter, with some interesting ideas (exploits???). Don't modify your weapons to have too much bullets per turn since the total damage output possible is divided by number of bullets, instead of each bullet representing an individual maximum damage output. Try to keep a mental track of how many bullets it takes to kill an enemy since, if you assign more bullets to the enemy than it takes to kill them, those extra hits attributed to the enemy are lost, and could have easily been better used on other enemies. I.E. if you have two enemies and 3 shots, and you assign 2 shots to one enemy, and that enemy dies in one, you lose that extra hit you assigned to it, and only shoot 2 bullets out of the 3 you could have done on that turn. Probably the most interesting thing about the system. Also, I don't know if this is an error but switching armor mid-battle helps boosts your PE point regeneration, which is kinda cool because it means you give up one turn but as a result you get to charge up points for moves like the Devil Trigger (not actually what it's called but what the hell) and Energy Shot. 

The story is pretty good and all I could think about while playing the game was how much more lame this story would be if the game was remade with modern visuals. More abstractionism = more believable and interesting ludicrous storytelling.

+ Persona 5 Royal (PS4) - Platinum Trophy



 


1. Untitled Goose Game (NS) - 9/10 (5 hours played)
2. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX (NS) - 10/10 (50 hours played)
3. Animal Crossing New Horizons (NS) - 11/10 (75 hours played)
4. AFL Evolution 2 (NS) - 9/10 (15 hours played)

'Beaten' two more games over the past month, in quotes because there is really no beating either of them.

I got to the KK concert after about 50 hours of gameplay, so I'm counting that as beating the main structured part of the game. Absolutely loving it, easily my favourite AC game so far (the original's music is never going to be topped though). Can see myself easily breezing past 100 hours with this.

AFL Evolution 2 is a really fun game, and one I was super hyped for, having gone so long without an AFL game (I am Nintendo only, so the last one was back on the Wii for me). It is uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly, but the gameplay itself is really fun and does a great job of translating footy into a game. The first update did wonders for load times (they're still long, but have gone from 90 secs down to ~40-50). Very happy with it, I'll be playing a lot more of it. I finished a full season on coach mode, so that's my criteria for 'completion' here. I haven't even touched the customisation features, but I'll have fun with those too.
