9. The Plucky Squire (PS5) 10. SteamWorld Dig (PS4) 11. Tormented Souls (PS5) 12. Trails through Daybreak 2 (PS5)

13. Split Fiction (PC) I totally forgot that I played this one, and don't want to bother figuring out where it should actually go, so it goes here. Incredible game, one that I plan to replay eventually once I convince my brother to give it a shot. Highly recommend this and everything Hazelight.

14. The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe (PS5) Wanted something short after a month of Trails, managed to avoid spoilers for this, so it was next. Its... fine. Its funny but didn't really grab me. Got some endings, but don't feel like combing it for all of them. Stopping here and might revisit.

15. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell (PS5) Finish work for the day, sat down for a third session of this game and binged it until it was done. It is now once again way later than I intended but it was pretty good. The previous one is better I think, but still a rock solid Metroidvania.

16. New Super Lucky's Tale (PS4) Someone on here recommended this game and I got it on an impulse buy. I was hoping it'd be a surprise like Kaze was, but its not quite that quality. Still fun though, but a good example of doing nothing wrong and nothing great.

17. Alone in the Dark (2024) (PS5)🎮 I struggle to call this a good game; combat sucks, stealth is even worse and its still really buggy. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't love everything else. Sometimes you gotta appreciate some bad games to appreciate the best. Ended up getting the plat too.

18. Jak and Daxter 1 (PS2) 🎮 Something from my childhood that I wanted to revisit. Camera is kinda janky, but its really just a product of its time. Still endearing and fun platformer. I feel like the voice performance and animations aged really well too. Fun and short game.

19. Jak II (PS2) 🎮 Had Jak 2 in the backlog and I don't think I ever finished it. Some savage check points (or none) that kept me from rolling credits. Beat it this time, but still kind of negative over all on the whole package. Preferred Jak 1s platformer focus and don't like the open world.

20. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus 🎮 Somehow, I never played any of the Sly games on the PS2. Really enjoyed this one. The opening hours are some of the best in the genre from this era. Didn't finish quite as strong, but just weaker, rather than bad.

21. Resident Evil: Director's Cut (PS1)🎮 The REmake of 1 is my 1st game in the genre, so it has a very nostalgic place in my heart. This was my first time playing the original and loved it. All the classic lines were highly entertaining to experience myself. Really great time, glad I played this.
