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.

The trademark was registered in NA (USA) and EU regions, but that doesn't mean a possible EN version, only protect its name. Although there maybe a possible EN release if the developer sees the EN community's demand high enough (I hope!).

Replay
I used to beaten the game in the original release, but since after the patch came out, not only it updated the game but also erased my achievement progress completely. As a result, I decided to re-install, beat it, and earn all achievements again.
