I think this will be a slower year in terms of the number of games finished, if not time played.

Playning Hitman 1 and 2, plus DLC. Have already "beaten" them, but the process of playing them to their fullest is MUCH more involved and time consuming than simply clearing the missions and advancing the story towards the end credits.

So between this post and now, I have beaten...

Gears 5 (XSX)

Hivebuster DLC (XSX)

Fallen Order (XSX)

The Medium (XSX)

And I have also been playing a few ongoing and multiplayer games as well...

Sea of Thieves (XSX)

CoD Warzone (XSX)

Rocket League (XSX)

Battlefield V (XSX)

Genshin Impact (Mobile/PC)

Currently working on Control Ultimate, but my schedule moving forward looks like...

Super Mario 3D World+Bowser's Fury (NSW)

Monster Hunter Rise (NSW)

Persona 5 Scramble (NSW)

DOOM Eternal (XSX)

Yakuza Like a Dragon (XSX)

Hellblade (XSX)

Oxenfree (XSX)

Code Vein (XSX...and a big maybe if I have time)

Getting quite the backlog going...and there are a few others I would not mind playing as well.  This is just what I hope to have done by the time RE8 releases.

My list is still pretty short.

Rock Band 4 (Platinum)
Read Dead Redemption II (Platinum)
Spider-Man Remastered (Platinum)
Spider-Man Miles Morales (Platinum)

Just Finished: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

Starting off this year much the same way I started last year, with a 2D Mario game. It is also the first 3DS game I have played in a while. I played the game in short 1 level / day bursts. It was a relaxing way to spend 5 - 10 minutes, which is perhaps the highest praise I can give it. NSMB 2 is definitely the least remarkable of the four NSMB games and probably the easiest. In some ways it is hardly different from NSMB U- both released the same year- except the U featured longer levels and was noticeably more difficult. The 3D effect is as prominent as you would expect for a 2D game, which is to say not at all. There was a huge missed opportunity not to use the Z axis to have objects and obstacles approach the screen. The emphasis on coin collecting is a rather shallow gimmick, especially as their is no story reason given for having to collect 1 million coins. The level design is breezy and straightforward but also forgettable. Nothing about the game is offensively offputting but it is so bland, it is the videogame equivalent of pablum.

7/10

Full Completed 2020 List:

• Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition (PS Now)
• New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

Cool. Especially Spiderman.

Yeah, Spiderman is a great game. I bought it on PS4 close to launch and didn't pick up and play until quite recently. Really enjoyed the story and appreciated its production value. It plays like an Arkam game with with Spidey instead.. which is pretty much what I wanted.

There are a few good open world games I play through entirely; this being one of them. It has enough good content to keep my interest, which most fail to do. And swinging through the city is quite good for relaxing lol. This ones definitely up there with for my favourite open world games. Really enjoyed Miles Morales as well. Definitely recommend for anyone who's played the first game. Be warned, its a considerably shorter though.

But yeah mostly trying to catch up with my backlog this year.. Before the big guns hits like RE8, GoW: Ragnarok, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank and Horizon: Forbidden West.
