Grotto's Games Beaten in 2025
Time to continue the tradition! I didn't beat as many games in 2024 as I wanted but that's okay. We keep it going! I sort of want to try maybe reviewing certain games with longer posts but I'm honestly not the greatest with social media but I want to at least try.

This is still one of the most badass character intros in a JRPG ever.

10. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter (10/23/25)
Fantastic remake! Simplifying the combat from Daybreak but still modernizing it from its PSP counterpart was a great choice and I loved how fluid it all felt. I understand the connection between Estelle and Joshua and now I definitely need 2nd Chapter!

Canceling snap benefits right before Thanksgiving and the winter holidays is evil. Fuck anyone who supports this administration.

9. Trails to Azure (9/21/25)
Going through my out of order Trails journey now puts me at 6 games completed! Azure really put the SSS high on the list in terms of teams throughout this franchise. Combat was expanded from Zero and the story was entertaining with backstories weaving together.

8. Silent Hill 2 (8/30/25)
Now I understand why this game is beloved. This game made me feel tense all the way through. The anxiety I felt while playing was never ending. The sound design creeped me the hell out especially in the Prison! I'm glad Bloober Team put out an excellent remake.

7. Visions of Mana (8/15/25)
Such a beautiful game. The art style is such a beauty to look at with its vibrant colors and landscapes. Combat starts off slow but progressively gets better but I still felt it was missing some oomph when it comes to the melee classes. Just a charming game throughout.

I am humbled by the support of more than 545,000 New Yorkers in last week's primary.
This is just the beginning of our expanding coalition to make New York City affordable. And we will do it together.

If you’re a defender of “ICE” and the mass deportations (kidnappings) taking place GTFO off of my page.
Everyone belongs here in the US if they so choose to make a life. We are humans and should be treated as such. I have no time for folks who think anyone is ever beneath them. Fuck all of that.

I keep going back and forth on truly wanting a Switch 2 and it's literally because I'm that obsessed with Mario Kart and wanting to be good at it.😅
