89. Metaphor: ReFantazio - Platinum
After nearly 90 hours of dialogue, combat, and menus, Metaphor is fully finished. What a game. Longtime RPG fan or not, I think most folks will find something to enjoy here.
Cartagia:
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - It *looks* incredible, and the movement and combat are mostly really fun. I'm not a fan of how slow a couple of the traversal powers are, and I'm not the biggest fan of having to go back to the same stages over and over. I think the game just isn't quite big enough and the travel options aren't great.
telekill:
Calling it as I don't see myself having enough time to complete anymore games this year. Just got done replaying AC2 and it was a blast in comparison to modern AC games. I'll attempt to participate again next year, but expect previous generations to dominate the numbers again. Here's my final list of completed games for 2024:

29. Super Mario Bros. Wonder
I didn’t feel too compelled to play it when it came out last year, but for some reason I really got a hankering for it recently. So bought it, beaten it, and yup, it’s great! Probably not too surprising, it’s a 2D Mario game, of course it’s good, but still.
Right off the bat, I gotta say I really liked that I could essentially turn it into Super Daisy Wonder, and I played the whole game as her. She’s one of my favourite Mario characters, and it was really fun to finally see her in a main series game.
The level design, new enemies and visuals are all great, and I like the new power-ups a lot too. And the Wonder effects are really fun. I found myself looking forward to what they would do in each level. The whole game is really easy, I never struggled once (helped a lot by how insanely easy it is to get 1-Ups), but it’s fun!
The game isn’t groundbreaking by any means, but it’s comfortable. As a Nintendo and Mario fan who grew up on New Super Mario Bros., it felt comforting and like I’ve never been away. The game oozes charm too. I frequently got a big smile on my face when the game pulled something unexpected and creative, and it even made me laugh a few times.
I already have every Wonder Seed in every world, except the Special world. And I may go back to try and 100% complete the game at some point. Wasn’t expecting that itch, and the fact the game is so easy helps, but still!
At the end of the day, it’s a 2D Mario platformer. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking here, because it isn’t. But it’s a really well-designed, bright, charming and welcoming game, and sometimes that’s just what you need.
So that's 29 games thus far. I may try to knock out some more small games before the end of the year, been wanting to try a Swordquest game for example, but even if I beat nothing else this year, I’m satisfied with that number!
telly:
Well, I seem to be chilling right at my average again for number of games finished this year. I don't anticipate finishing Eiyuden Chronicles before 2025 even though I'm about halfway done. Will have to make a summary post soon!
