Game #126: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

This was my first MGS game. I wasn't really interested in lore, story or characters so I didn't check the previous titles. Completed the Ground Zeroes mission but wasn't motivated enough to see the rest of the content.

5/10

Game #125: Injustice: Gods Among Us

I always liked Netherrealm Studios' way of telling stories. You don't need to invest so much time; you just pick up, play and never look back at it again. I liked Injustice's story and the new gameplay tweaks so I think this is a good game.

Game #124: Bzzzt

I found this game on Twitter and followed it for a year. After its release I had to give Bzzzt a chance and after completion, I can say: This is a good game. Great pixel art, good controls and 1-2 hours of time required to complete. Bzzzt is nothing crazy but it's worth your time.

6/10

Game #123: Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair

I was a bit hesitant before starting this VN and I thought it might be a waste of time. It looks an "amateur" work but I'm glad I gave Shinrai a chance. It's nothing groundbreaking but it's a pretty solid murder mystery game. Would definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a new VN to play.

7/10

Game #122: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

Worst Trails game I've played to date. They constantly give boring and long speeches about friendship and acceptance. On top of that the civil war concept wasn't really well done. A huge letdown for me but still it's above some level because it's a Trails game.

7/10

Game #121: Doom 64

I called it quits after 4 hours but it was a me problem. Doom 64 is still worth playing up to this date in my opinion. It just didn't work for me because level based games aren't for me, I start to feel ambitionless in games like these but overall, good game.

6/10

Game #120: Score! Hero

I've beaten 391 levels in this game but if I didn't have infinite money cheat, I wouldn't even go past 50. AI is terrible; even though there is space in front of them, they try to take shots from outer space. Goalkeepers sometimes become invincible. An experience that I don't want to go back to.

3/10

Game #119: The Touryst

I don't know if there is a genre to describe these kind of games so I'll just say it's like A Short Hike. Visually impressive but other than that it's not really special. Extremely chill but I got bored halfway through.

5/10

Game #118: Forza Horizon 4: LEGO Speed Champions

I couldn't completely finish this DLC because some challenges were too tedious for me and the number of new cars were unexpectedly low but nevertheless I really enjoyed my time with this one.

7/10

Game #117: Devil May Cry 5

This game made me realize how much my taste in games have changed. I found DMC5's combat tiring and it's story boring. Even though this was not my cup of tea, I can see why this game is held in high regards.

6/10

Game #116: Yakuza 4 Remastered

Both as story and gameplay this was the far worst Yakuza for me. Story is just bunch of people betraying each other and the port is terrible which made the game's gameplay somewhat "change". But the characters were great especially Akiyama.

7/10

Game #115: Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Between the three NFS games I've played (UG1, UG2, MW05) this one's my favorite. I can't put my finger on a specific reason why but I spent more time on this one compared to others without getting bored. Good game but couldn't see the end of it.

7/10

Game #114: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

It's a great game again. World-building, characters, music and story; basically everything is top notch. My only complaint is this game only serves as a build-up. It doesn't have an ending to its story like FC and Zero.

8/10

Game #113: Hot Wheels Unleashed

I really liked Hot Wheels Unleashed. Cars handle pretty well, visuals are great and visually it's pretty decent as well. There are no story mode or any other distractions, just straight up racing.

7/10

Game #112: Trek to Yomi

I couldn't like this game. I played it hard first, after beating it did a second run with easy but couldn't enjoy both runs. It works as intended but I don't think Trek to Yomi is a special or fun game.
