Last year was bad on my end, and this year isn't shaping up to be great for anyone.
I've seen people arguing in favor of replacing doomscrolling with positive hobbies, so I'm once again chronicling the games I beat this year in this thread.
Longer reviews for games will be in the alt text.

This is Trevor.
This is Trevor Belmont's CURSE.
That's why he can use the Cross. And I bet that gold rope around his left arm is the Morning Star.
This is why someone as strong and faithful as Trevor allows his child to go fight demons in his stead.

The art style was pretty jarring at first, but it grew on me quickly. Some of these redesigns are absolute bangers. I'm like losing my mind over this interpretation of Medusa.

I HAD A LAPSE OF FAITH AND I FEEL FOOLISH, BUT PRAISE BE! 🧛♂️🦇🍖🎸
It looks so clean. I love the speed and fluidity, giving me big Lost Crown vibes. And that art style?? Man...
Just reveal the protag's name to be Sonia and Castlevania has its own Dread-style comeback.

My three favorite video game franchises of all time are celebrating their 40th(!!!) anniversaries this year.
SE has already teased a big celebratory extravaganza for Dragon Quest. Nintendo MIGHT tease us with something Metroid-related, but probably nothing big.
And then there's Castlevania.

...and Konami refuses to give us the only celebration that IP will even get.
Damn shame. Would've LOVED to see Seikushi Dynamites Arawaru localized.

The fascinating thing about the Metroid IP is that Nintendo didn't and doesn't need to pursue it the way it has. It's never sold particularly well, it's not popular in Japan, and compared to its other first-party franchises it's not really marketable.
And yet, Nintendo CHOSE Metroid. Why?

Great Scott...yeah, it's night and day, isn't it? Like not even close.
I remember being baffled by the Cuusoo version even back when I was blinded by joy of an official BttF set existing, but yeah it REALLY hasn't aged well at all.

I've needed a win for a while now, so hopefully this will be a really fun distraction. I can't wait to see how it compares to LEGO's previous two attempts.

Only 1,125 on Hard Modern Egg?? Disgraceful. Never would've happened on OG hardware.

I'm not a fan of contrarians.
Felt the need to say that before admitting to the void that I think Tooie is better than Kazooie and it's not even close.
And I want this art blown up and framed in my future foyer or over my future mantle on my future fireplace.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

There's a reason Mario, a surface-level plain character, rose above other mascots to become the most iconic game character in the world.
Mario is a manifestation of the joy of the player. Mario has just as much fun being Mario as the player does. It's a two-way relationship via the language of joy.
