Looking back on the games I beat in 2024, I unfortunately only played a few games that I went "wow, that was an incredible game!" Don't get me wrong, most of the games I played last year were pretty good, or at least decent, but last year was probably the first where I didn't have at least a handful of games that broke 40/50 on my rating scale, which more or less means the game was outstanding. Obviously, I have no idea how good a game is going to be if I've never played it, but this next year I would like to focus on playing games that I have beat before and know are great, or games that are conventionally considered some of the best games ever made. I still plan on playing plenty of games where I know I'm not liking to have some sort of ground breaking experience with it, but I'd like to at least be a little more selective in the games I choose to tackle this year. I'm not going to make a list of games I plan on beating like I have several years prior, but I definitely intend on playing several games I know I love, but haven't played in several years. Back in 2019 I made a point to replay most of the games I'd consider to be the best I'd ever played to see if they still hold up now, and while I'm not going to be that specific or deliberate, I wouldn't be surprised if a decent chunk of those games get replayed and beat in 2025 again. But anyhow, we'll see where the road takes me this year and hopefully I'm able to reach well beyond 52 games beat seeing how at the moment I have very little planned in terms of things I know I'll be busy with in 2025 (unlike 2024 which was just an insane year for me all around). My primary goal is to actually reach 100 games beat by the end of 2025. Who knows if I'll make it, but dammit I will try!
