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.

I already beaten the game last December.
Used to plan get a semi-100% (due to one achievement not working), but considering too much grind involved and a very low SHP (50 pts), this isn't worth playing for me anymore.

I could have finished this game early in the first place, but I completely forgot. Thank god, you don't have to start the game all over again per difficulty. You just replay stage 7-5 on each difficulty. I thought the game stacks difficulty specific achievements, but it doesn't.

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?
