So, saying I hadn't beaten any game this year, 3 days later.

Jak and Daxter.

PS+Premium was on offer, got it for like £60 in the end. Was going through the older titles and thought I'd play this. Played it before, PS2 and PS3 but this was PS5 with trophies. Great platform.

I'm going back to older titles this year. Picked up some old consoles and games and going back to the good old days. Mainly 360 and DS at the moment but I may branch into other systems like the PS1/PS2/PSP later in the year.

Dead Rising 2 (Steam Deck)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Steam Deck)
Fable Anniversary (Steam Deck)
Ratchet & Clank 2 (Emulator)
Project Gotham Racing 3 (X360)

So far:
Mario & Luigi: Brothership - I really liked it. The battle system is great and aesthetically, it's a step in the right direction, specially the character models, but the areas in general felt a bit bland. I was worried about not having Yoko Shimomura, but honestly this game has the best battle and final boss theme in the series. Ironically, even though the game is about connections, this is the most disconnected game in the franchise. I expect a more expansive world for the next entry. Also, it goes on for a bit too long. Solid 7/10.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - Started last year around June but stopped for a while because of work and kind of left it behind, but picked it back up last week and finished it today. And what a game. It's probably in my top 5, maybe even top 3 metroidvanias of all time. All the abilities, the battle mechanics and the platforming are immense fun, and the boss battles are very challenging and creative. I really liked the story and characters too. It's a shame the team behind it got disbanded because I'd go for a sequel day one. 9/10
