If it's like older games, maybe people can set up emulated servers to get mystery gifts?

I wish mass breakout events came back.

Finally, the one completion I did was Tomorrow Never Dies. Absolutely infuriating damageless challenge on a level that puts you at a disadvantage often. Just a slog of a game.

Completion means all achievements done, but not all in Hardcore Mode. This mode disables save states, rewinds, cheats, etc.

The other beaten games:

Burnout Legends: Specific challenges are awful.

SM64 DS: Minigames.

Mission: Impossible: Hitboxes/RNG with sniper section. Terrible stealth achievement.

Hero of Law: Bad platforming mode. Transfer pak/Windows required.

DK64 and Luigi's Mansion: Just didn't wrap up.

THPS games are something I'm doing yearly for each game's 25th anniversary. Some sets ask more (100% every character), while others ask for higher scores. THPS 4 GC is brutal with 1 combo or zero stat challenges in the main set.

Nightfire and Agent Under Fire were nice to revisit. I haven't gone for 100% since launch.

Kurko's romhacks (Nostalgia 64 especially) are incredibly fun and are quite creative to add new stuff with a limited toolset.

Burnout 3 was a blast to revisit, but Signature Takedowns/challenges are awful.

Thank you Wario.

But is it an *accurate* N64 logo? I recall seeing that a bunch of logos used guessed the colors on all facets.

I saw "new" and the cat and thought we were about to get cat themed cosmetics...or another cat.

Could easily say the same thing about Jango Fett in THPS4, something I was guilty of doing from launch in 2002 until my replay last year.

Just wrapped on this and watched the secret ending (pressed for time this evening!). Great spooky vibes and jump scares. Some ideas here I don't think I've seen elsewhere!

Hoping someone comes along and makes an achievement set, as it would be the perfect excuse to replay it next Halloween.

You mentioned trophy in the review. Are you referring to an in-game achievement system or is there a RetroAchievement set available for it?
