Games beaten

01] Snow Bros. Special: Anniversary Edition (STM, 2024) |2 Jan| The Switch version of this made me froth, but I've loved it on the PC after finally figuring out how to beat the new bosses.
02] Maiden Cops (STM, 2024) |7 Jan| SoR2 style beat 'em up, playthrough with Meiga the cow-girl.
03] Dead Space (2023 remake) (STM, 2023) |8 Jan| A solid remake of one of my favourites.
04] Maid of the Dead (STM, 2024) |11 Jan| Bullet heaven with aspects of twin-stick shooters, maid cafe girls repel an onslaught of zombies in Akihabara.
05] Metal Slug X (STM, 2014) |11 Jan| Apparently just a tweaked version of MS2, enjoyed it.
06] Resident Evil: Revelations (STM, 2013) |13 Jan| Hasn't aged as well as its sequel.
07] Warriors of Fate (STM, 2018) |16 Jan| Probably my least favourite of the Capcom arcade beat 'em ups.
08] Armored Warriors (STM, 2018) |19 Jan| Did this one next because I'm forever forgetting how good it is!
09] Battle Circuit (STM, 2018) |22 Jan| Wholesome lizard-smashing in space, lovely.
10] Echo Generation: Midnight Edition (STM, 2024) |25 Jan| Snack-sized turn-based RPG with either voxel or similar graphics, evidently influenced by Earthbound and Stranger Things. Not bad.
11] Plants Vs Zombies (STM, 2009) |29 Jan| Jr has slowly been building up to playing this for a year, helped him through adventure mode.
12] Final Fight (STM, 2018) |1 Feb| Should have played this one first or second, the baddies can whip your health in half so easily.
13] Infectonator 3: Apocalypse (STM, 2018) |8 Feb| Nothing better than a good, goofy zombie game to lift my mood, perfect.
14] Hidden Realm of the Enchantress (STM, 2025) |22 Feb| Short NSFW old skool dungeon crawl game, surprisingly good battle mechanics.
15] Infectonator 3: Apocalypse (STM, 2018) |1 Mar| Second playthrough to unlock all but one steam achievements.
16] Plants Vs Zombies (STM, 2009) |2 Mar| Jr managed to delete the save file so I've flown through the game to make up some lost ground.
17] Recall: Empty Wishes (STM, 2025) |10 Mar| Horror adventure game, enjoyed it.
18] Is It Wrong to Try to Shoot 'em Up Girls in a Dungeon? (STM, 2020) |18 Mar| Freebie mini-SHMUP, not bad at all.
19] This War of Mine (STM, 2014) |18 Mar| Good to return to this again, seems like a long time since I played it through.
20] Snow Bros. 2 Special (STM, 2025) |11 Apr| Disgracefully overpriced, still enjoyed the game.
21] Resident Evil 5 (STM, 2009) |17 Apr| One of my most-played, lovely!
22] Out of Hands (STM, 2025) |4 May| Beautifully crafted spooky card-battler.
23] Dead Space 2 (STM, 2011) |10 May| Overrated on release, it's just OK.
24] Wire Lips (STM, 2020) |10 May| Walking sim/'psychological horror' thing, atmospheric but not exactly mind-blowing.
25] Captain Commando (STM, 2018) |30 May| Good fun, flew by!
26] Spilled! (STM, 2025) |30 May| Beautiful little game where you clear oil spills from a waterway using a little boat.
27] King of Dragons (STM, 2018) |4 Jun| Brilliant as always.
28] Knights of the Round (STM, 2018) |25 Jun| OK.
29] Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (STM, 2019) |28 Jun| A lot better than I remember! Very good fun.
30] Dungeons III (STM, 2017) |25 Jul| Another revisit to an old favourite, excellent on PC.
31] Loddlenaut (STM, 2023) |30 Jul| Undersea cleaning game with cute axoltls.
32] Become the Moon (STM, 2025) |12 Aug| Charming, cartoonish but slightly unsettling deck-builder. Beautiful soundtrack.
33] Fort Meow (STM, 2015) |12 Aug| Build furniture forts to defend against cute kittehs.
34] Dungeons III - Once Upon A Time (STM, 2018) |14 Aug| Tougher but bland.
35] Dungeons III - Evil of the Caribbean (STM, 2018) |16 Aug| Ditto.
36] Dungeons III - Lord of the Kings (STM, 2018) |26 Aug| Ditto.
37] Dungeons III - Clash of Gods (STM, 2018) |5 Sep| 2.5x the size of the other DLC expansions and definitely more fun.
38] Re: Gals Panic 2 (STM, 2025) |5 Sep| NSFW Qix clone, OK.
39] Bakeru (NSW, 2024) |6 Sep| What a journey! Beautiful platformer and a hidden gem.
40] Dungeons III - An Unexpected DLC (STM, 2019) |10 Sep| Back to smaller DLCs, but the Forest Queen puts up a hell of a fight.
41] Legendary Wings (ARC 1986)/(STM, 2021) |11 Sep| Test-flying my purchase of all Capcom Arcade Stadium games with this stinker. Absolutely dreadful, used the rewind so much it made my head spin.
42] Mega Twins (ARC 1990)/(STM, 2021) |11 Sep| Fun little game from back in the day, very Wonderboy.
43] Empty Shell (STM, 2023) |13 Sep| Overhead horror shooter, explore a deserted(?) science facility on a Japanese island, very 'The Thing', also very good!
44] Men Against Lizards (STM, 2024) |17 Sep| Short side-scrolling beat-em-up.
45] Varth: Operation Thunderstorm (ARC 1992)/(STM, 2021) |17 Sep| :o Ouch!
46] Dump of the Dead X (STM, 2025) |21 Sep| Short retro-styled FPS with zombies. Fun!

Games Tried/Disliked/Got Rid Of

01] Tevi (NSW, 2024) |5 Jan| Bullet-hell/metroidvania from the developers of Rabi-Ribi, a hot mess of overcomplicated control systems and sparse locations. Absolutely hated every aspect of it apart from the character art.
02] Tails of Iron (STM, 2021) |10 Jan| Basically a 2D combat game with platform elements. Fetch quests, padding, simplistic combat, lots of poor game design, no thanks!
03] Sea Salt (STM, 2019) |11 Jan| Major letdown, controls sloppily, the creatures you 'control' do their own thing and they scamper around and get picked off.
04] SteamWorld Dig 2 (STM, 2017) |14 Jan| The graphics and the almost throw-away nature of the worldbuilding repels me every time with SteamWorld.
05] Cathedral (STM, 2019) |14 Jan| Don't mind a fair thing, but I wasn't into 'Nintendo Hard' in the 80s and I'm not now.
06] Streets of Rogue (STM, 2019) |15 Jan| Does an admirable job of applying some (randomized) structure to a randomized city sandbox, but i yearn for curated gameworlds.
07] Mario & Luigi: Brothership (NSW, 2024) |20 Jan| AKA 'My First Mario & Luigi'. None of the charm or fantastic music of earlier titles. Brothershit.
08] There is No Light (STM, 2022) |20 Jan| Bog-standard hack and slash thing with a bog-standard setting and plot punctuated by incessant yapping by uninteresting NPCs. Christ.
09] Tormented Souls (STM, 2021) |21 Jan| There's nothing wrong with this beyond its budget limitations, it's just that it's a carbon copy of a game I'd rather remember fondly than actually play these days.
10] Night Slashers: Remake (STM, 2024) |7 Feb| I could live with the presentation being so sucky, but not "you failed, restart the level" in an arcade beat 'em up. It's not 1987.
11] Gryphon Knight Epic (STM, 2015) |11 Feb| Inoffensive side-scrolling shooter which bored quickly due to being so S-L-O-W.
12] Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (STM, 2015) |23 Feb| KK, that's me finally through with DR after a 2-decade long rocky relationship, just isn't fun.
13] Bite the Bullet (STM, 2020) |23 Feb| Slow and horrid.
14] SuperTaxCity (STM, 2025) |11 May| Part of the Balatro/Luck Be a Landlord genre/fad, with city building. Fun but far too random.
15] Floppy Knights (STM, 2022) |12 May| Beautiful looking and sounding turn-based tactics with slow and frustrating gameplay.
16] Conscript (STM, 2024) |7 Jun| Generally OK but with far too much dragging back and forth, became dull.
17] Dark Fairy Tale: Dreamland Survivors (STM, 2025) |9 Aug| Another meh Vampire Survivors clone.
18] Morbid: The Seven Acolytes (STM, 2020) |9 Aug| Interesting worldbuilding and bosses, but flawed and imprecise gameplay.
19] Pinball Storm: Lokanta (STM, 2025) |31 Aug| Vampire Survivors with pinballs, interesting setting but undercooked.
20] Rangok Skies (STM, 2021) |31 Aug| Bullet hell, too hardcore for me!
21] Tooth and Tail (STM, 2017) |13 Sep| Cut-down, randomized RTS with chaotic gameplay, didn't gel with me at all.
