2023 Play List
List of titles I played in 2023. Includes returning and replaying titles. I played a lot of indie games though, so it's not hard to see why my numbers are high. Many of the games Iβve played were on PC (Windows OS and Linux), but a very few were console exclusives on my list.

11/06:
Game beaten!
Achievement hunting abandoned.
I finally finished the game. I only played it on normal difficulty. Here's why:
I was hoping to use a similar method found on Xbox related achievements site, TrueAchievements, where a guide tells me to play all the way through normal up until the final boss. Unfortunately, it didn't work for PC version. There is a game breaking bug where if you quit to menu while on stage 3, it DOESN'T save your progress, leaving only stages 1 & 2 worked. Like WTF indie dev. You called this a finished product?

I used to abandoned this game, as the game constantly crashes during the intro scene of Nun's chapter. However, when playing on Linux OS (Steam Deck), I didn't get a single crash! Only one problem: low framerate. Luckily, the framerate goes back to 55 ~ 60 when not in the chapel room.
Now, I can finally play and beaten it properly!
