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.
22. Metal Gear Solid (PS1)🎮 I thought I hadn't beaten this before, but I recalled most of the plot half way through. Was still fun, think I beat Twin Snakes before? I do think its my least favorite MGS, but its been awhile. Probably going to play the others eventually to refresh my impression.
23. Resident Evil 2 (PS1)🎮 The first was fun enough and I found a copy online for a price I didn't feel totally awful about. So I got it, and immediately dove into it. Banger game, big leap forward for the series and the genre.
24. Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (PS1) 🎮 I kind of don't really love this. I also don't love the remake, but I'm not sure that the cut content would have saved my opinion of the remake anymore. Its still an above average game, and better than the remake. But I really did not enjoy a lot of this one.
Why didn’t you get on with it?
25. Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest (PS5)🎮 Was excited for this when it was announced. Oddly nostalgic for the base game, even though its only like a year old? Very short, but I like their story telling and atmosphere. But I enjoyed all of it. Base game is also sweet, so recommend both.
THAT SAID, I still prefer the Remake for 2. Its mostly first-game bias speaking though. But I kinda didn't really find the zapping system that compelling? I also really like the expanded bits of the story and setting. Still, I totally get the hype people must have had for this back in the day.
