Finished 9 Years of Shadows just now.
-- Excellent pixel art and color choices
-- A mostly enjoyable OST
-- Level design was a mixed bag
-- The plot was...there
-- Enemies were mostly fine
-- Bosses were jokes or gimmicks or both
-- The last boss was a 1/10 difficulty
-- Bugs galore!

I don't recall what conversation spawned me doing a search for this (apparently back in 2023, I guess?), but I'm glad I still have this image saved because of how amazing these results were.

I may have swapped games again (again, again).😅
But also, even if Bleak Faith: Forsaken feels like a total mess, sequence-breaking it has been fun. Wall huggy-hugs + dash ability = silliness. Also, missing death planes are sometimes a thing?😜🪦

I was going to start a run of XCOM: Enemy Unknown last night, but stuff happened and now I'm finally doing a playthrough of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Took me long enough, I feel like I owned a copy for like a decade and still never got around to it!😅

Well, it only took 11 months or so but we're finally out of the prologue in D&D.
Extra points for the rogue pulling out her maps she made during the journey and going, "Why did I keep drawing this flaming penis on every map?"
Me: Your druid kept summoning it to battle and it kept dying.

So, I did finally beat Galaxy Princess Zorana last night! Afterwards, I tried looking at Steam guides to see how difficult it would be to rack up some trophies and I think I'll just casually knock out excess paths in the future, because that's gonna take A LOT of saves/pathing to do!

Well, I made it significantly further in Galaxy Princess Zorana today before I inevitably failed to survive multiple assassination attempts on my life. My girl just cannot catch a break!💀🪦

I'm pretty sure my Switch summary would say something like, "1 Game, 50 hours, Pokemon Legends Z-A", so I'll just save myself the trouble of checking to find out and we'll go with that.😅

Figured I may as well get my ranked games list up for 2025 for stuff I played/replayed through last year. Feel free to raise your pitchforks in anger because (insert game) isn't #1 but Clair Obscur is!💜🪦

I've added some people on Steam since I got home, but if I missed you or you have an overwhelming desire to add me and then never message me, I'm totally down!💜

I was trying to knock out short games on my backlog, but then I settled for Umamusume the last several days while I wait for Wednesday before I participate in the Ni no Kuni event for the Backlog Haters Club.
I got my first A-rank (Maruzensky) and I randomly pulled Cleric version of Grass Wonder!💜

Games released in 2025 that I've played, possibly ranked highest to lowest (and not counting Deltarune because I didn't want to grade each chapter while ignoring chapters 1 and 2).
(non-spoiler: they'd be near the top of my list)

Shadow is easily the best character in Sonic Crossworlds.
My partner drove off an edge as Shadow gained invincibility and he goes, "FAREWELL."
She hits Charmy (she knocks Charmy to last) and Shadow goes, "Do better, Charmy."
And of course, when she's doing Race Park Extreme Match Mode, she ---

Played through Fear the Spotlight and aced the stealth sections until the final boss, where things got a little...janky.😅
Unsure if the game is really easy, so I'm just going to pretend I was really good at playing it!
Only a few more days until the Ni no Kuni adventure begins!💜

Beat Nubby's Number Factory on my first go yesterday, then kept playing it in Endless Mode until my brain melted around Stage 300. I think my brain finds it difficult to stop playing "Numbers Go Up" games that just drop ridiculous values.😅

Well, did a couple more runs between last night and today and got to the "end" of the available game and crushed the final boss...only to be rewarded with stuff that would have made the fight not even be a struggle.😜
Two of the three mons on my team are from the first three monsters I recruited!💜
