F-Zero 99
[14/04/24](+) I unlocked a new Boost and Spin by completing limited-time challenges, I hope theyā€™re not all one-time only. I have more colors too.

Updated about 5 days ago

★★★★★ Iā€™m currently level 31; on Practice Mode, Iā€™ve unlocked 11 tracks on Standard, 4 on Mirror and 8 on Classic. From the workshop, Iā€™ve unlocked 19 colors, 5 decals, 2 boosts and 1 spin under the Machines category; Iā€™ve unlocked 12 backdrops, 16 badges and 3 borders under the Pilot Cards category. This is another of those games that may require me to play at least somewhat regularly if I intend to unlock anything or get good ranks.

[31/03/24](+) With so many options to pick I decided to try Daily Challenge, surprisingly I won an achievement on my first try, the Good Learner one.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

☆★★★★ Iā€™m currently level 1, and Iā€™ve played 3 different minigames. From the achievements, Iā€™ve earned 0 out of 50 offline and 1 out of 10 online. Iā€™m a little disappointed this game only has 5 boards considering they couldā€™ve added at least 2 of each game, and that they brought back some of those dreaded stick-rotating minigames... I hope they wonā€™t be hard to win.

[31/03/24](+) I started this game by playing the mode suggested, Highway Rollers. Unfortunately, I didnā€™t win because I kept landing in back spaces.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

☆★★★★ Iā€™ve played 10 different All-Play minigames and 4 different 1 vs Rivals minigames so far. Iā€™ve only played 1 different mode, but I plan on checking the rest very soon. As a sequel of the original Wii Party, it looks a little too similar to that game even if there are different new modes, but itā€™s good how they made good use of the GamePadā€™s features to offer something new.

Super Smash Bros. for WiiU
[30/03/24](!) I cleared Classic as Mr. Game & Watch, and also cleared 4 more events. I also got a new score on Rival Smash, playing as Ike.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

★★★★★ Iā€™ve played 95 matches, and I have 284 trophies out of 743; I have 14 extra characters (7 from DLC) and 12 extra stages (7 from DLC). Iā€™ve cleared Classic with 6 characters, All-Star with 3 characters and Iā€™ve cleared 27 events. Iā€™ve completed 38 challenges out of 140 and Iā€™ve obtained 38 different custom moves. I also have 50 extra headgear pieces and 45 extra outfits, adding up to 57 and 51 respectively. Finally, I have 424 different songs.

[30/03/24] Captured once again... and escaped once again. Iā€™m getting close to the end, now that I learned the enemyā€™s plan and how to thwart it.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

☆★★★★ Iā€™ve completed 7 missions so far, and Iā€™ve unlocked 8 extra multiplayer maps and 4 extra multiplayer characters. From game stats, Iā€™ve found 79% of possessed hosts, 93% of possessed objects, 75% of ghost collectibles, 75% of host collectibles and 85% of text log. The game has a different premise that allows for a wider number of actions and even game modes, but because of that, the shooting portion of the game is somewhat generic.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
[29/03/24](!) This time I cleared the entirety of World 4, Grape Garden. Finding the extra switches was a little tricky, and the bosses were too.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

☆★★★★ I beat the normal mode at 100%, meaning all extra areas and minigames were found; with that, I unlocked the Extra mode and the Boss Endurance mode. Iā€™m currently playing Extra Mode, I have 47% cleared by now. Kirby games can look deceptively easy, but they can get difficult at times; not sure whatā€™s the point of the score counter if it doesnā€™t get saved.

SoulCalibur Legends
[29/03/24] With the second shard at Siegfriedā€™s hands, he gets one step closer to his goal, whatever it is. I also obtained 2 more characters to use.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

☆★★★★ My current rank is Garnet Warrior, Iā€™ve cleared 13 missions by now (8 with a rank of A, 1 with a rank of B and 4 with a rank of S). This adventure may not be canonical in the franchise but itā€™s still an alternate take to how Soul Edge helped create an iconic character. While itā€™s fun to strike enemies and meet familiar faces, it feels a little restrictive regarding where I can go and how much I can do during combat and exploration.

[28/03/24](!) Today I finally cleared the remaining challenges of the Blood Moon event tome, surprisingly there are trinkets unused this time around.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

★★★★★ My player level is 93, Devotion 1; this month my Killer Rank is Bronze III and my Survivor Rank is Bronze IV. Iā€™m currently at level 4 from Tome 18 and I completed all the Event Tome; Iā€™m also Tier 62 of the current rift. From the newly introduced badges and banners, I have 13 and 11 respectively.

Updated about 3 weeks ago

☆★★★★ Iā€™ve cleared 2 missions out of 11, achieving an 15% of primary objectives completed. I havenā€™t purchased any upgrades yet though. From collectables Iā€™ve found 8% of Organization Intel and 17% of Character Bio Intel; Iā€™ve unlocked 2 characters at the Bonus content as well. I like the idea behind this game, but I feel the missions feel somewhat disconnected since theyā€™re from different eras.

I have 15 pieces of the character gallery, 24 pieces of the environments gallery and 0 pieces of the illustrations gallery.

Unlike other WWII games, this game takes place at the Pacific Front; there are fewer missions but most of them are longer, which is why they include save points, something the previous game didn't have.

[18/03/24](+) Clearing the Jimmy T. stages required many tries and there was one particular microgame I just couldnā€™t win... now on to the next genre.

Updated about 1 month ago

☆★★★★ Iā€™ve played a total of 40 different microgames so far, winning at 35 of them at least once. I havenā€™t played many games of this series but I see where they came from, this one doesnā€™t have many options (at least right off the bat) but it does include many microgames and trying to get good scores is a challenge in itself.

★★★★★ Iā€™ve obtained 3 usable items and 3 important items so far, but none of the other collectibles yet. Even if I already know virtually all about the original game, playing this one feels like a nice surprise with the improved visuals and the small quality of life changes that make it an even better experience.

☆★★★★ I've played 135 multiplayer matches, and I've cleared Arcade Mode with all 7 characters by now. I've unlocked 7 extra characters, 4 extra maps, 8 extra costumes and 8 bonus items. I also have obtained all figurines from the shooting range. I've cleared Survival Mode with 4 characters, and I've completed 23 missions; fortunately the unlocks don't take nearly as long as in similar games like Brawl.

This original puzzle game might look very simple at first, but like most games of this genre, things can be deceiving, and the stages start getting tougher and require more thinking as I progress through the game.

From the DIY recipes, Iā€™ve obtained 682 and Iā€™ve done 362 of them (2 special ones too). At Harvā€™s Island, Iā€™ve funded 7 stalls. Iā€™ve caught 76 bugs out of 80, 68 fish out of 80 and 31 sea creatures out of 40. Finally, Iā€™ve obtained 68 different reactions by now.

Tricky has changed color 9 times. While itā€™s a good game, it can be very easy with the little damage I take and the many lives I can get, plus the combat is lacking with enemies not attacking at the same time.

☆★★★★ From this adventure, I have 15% of it completed and Iā€™m currently at the construction area. I never played the original game so it will be a new experience, and with my recent interest in adventure games I may continue playing this one often until I get to the bottom of the story.

★★★★★ At last, I earned a gold trophy on the Mushroom, Flower, Star, Special and All-Cup Tour cups for 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and Mirror. So far, I've unlocked 13 extra vehicles, 2 extra pairs of characters, the remaining cups/modes for Grand Prix and 2 extra stages for Battle, but no expert ghosts unlocked yet. Nowadays this game lacks characters or tracks but the concept was a good novelty back then.

Updated about 2 months ago

★★★★★ In this game I got Gravity Beetle as my first Maverick to defeat. I have 8 special weapons, 8 Heart Tanks, 4 Sub Tanks, 4 Armor Parts and 4 Ride Armors. Of all the 52 Hunter Medals, this game has contributed with 6 so far. There were several new additions to the series such as more Ride Armors and Zero being playable even if for some sections, but I feel the difficulty went up with many enemies being harder to defeat and doing more damage.

I have 222 Star Coins, 207 of them have been spent; my top score is 7633930. On my game file, I have 3 sparkling stars so far. This time I cleared the game using the cannons so I reached the end as fast as possible, now Iā€™ll complete every stage of every world as usual.

From the collection, Iā€™ve obtained 1 out of 47 characters and 13 out of 128 items. Now, this is a game that really makes good use of the unique controls, and it also appeals to completionists by having a lot of different things to find, like any good treasure quest.

Iā€™ve obtained 1 recipe, 2 magic spells and Iā€™ve cleared 8 quests so far, with 2 more pending. The hero of this game isnā€™t a traditional one, but thatā€™s what makes the game stand out; I like the constant references to other games and the narrative in general.

From the e-Reader levels, I've cleared 5 out of 38 (3 with Mario and 2 with Luigi), with a high score of 65900; I also got 5 Advance Coins out of 147 and 0 e-Coins out of 8.

★★★★★ Juste is currently level 7, with 21.3% of the map explored and 3 out of 12 relics found. Iā€™ve also found 1 Life Max Up item and 4 Heart Max Up items, as well as 1 spellbook. In some ways this game improves over its predecessor, like bringing back the whip movement from Castlevania IV, but some other things could be better like the character not having that blue aura around him.

The game itself is as good as the original, but it suffers from an obvious graphical and musical downgrade; despite that it added a few things to make up for it somehow.

From Samusā€™ abilities I have 19 so far. Combining the traditional side-scrolling and exploration from earlier titles with the visuals and sound effects of newer generations, it brings a brand-new and enjoyable experience to Metroid fans.

☆★★★★ I've solved all 64 puzzles from Easy Picross, and 8 from Kinoko Cup of Normal Picross. I've been somewhat spoiled by the DS/3DS Picross games, since I'm really used to use the Stylus for playing them, and now it feels awkward to do it with the Pad and the buttons. This one also has a Hint system, but I decided not to use it so I can solve the whole puzzles by myself.

So far, I have 22 challenges out of 54 completed; of those 22 challenges, 13 are cleared with a bronze (is it even bronze?) medal, 6 with a silver medal and 3 with a gold medal.

My score in Solo Play is 8971370, and I have collected a total of 45341 Coins overall. After beating it, Iā€™ve earned 1 star on my profile. This game is very similar to previous ones of the series, but its main catch is to collect all those coins and also try the new stages.

From the bestiary, Iā€™ve encountered 12 monsters out of 323, making it 3% of them all. Unlike other similar games, this game focuses more on the jobs and the endless combinations after mastering them, but perhaps I just need to pay more attention to the plot.

From the Runes section, Iā€™ve found 11 Spell Scrolls, 3 Circles of Power, 4 Alignment Runes and 10 Runes. I can see the chapters don't always take place chronologically so I'm not sure I understand how that works, since things happen in the future and yet the Tome of Eternal Darkness still contains it somehow.

☆☆★★★ Iā€™ve cleared 3 missions from chapter 2 and 8 overall, earning a C rank, 5 B ranks and 2 A ranks; that adds up to a total of 55% of the game. I have 7515 respect points and Iā€™ve learned 3 special techniques, 3 sword katas and 3 focus moves. Iā€™ve also unlocked 7 guns at the shooting range. From what Iā€™ve played of this game before, there are better shooting games and this one feels a little simplistic, even if they tried to use the motion controls as best as they could.

★★★★★ My party consists on Purrloin (level 12), Patrat (level 12), Munna (level 11), Pansage (level 13), Lillipup (level 12) and Tepig (level 13). So far, Iā€™ve seen 12 PokĆ©mon and Iā€™ve caught 8 of them; Iā€™ve earned 1 Badge too. Some of my favorite features this generation introduced are the seasons and the TMs no longer being limited to 1 use, and they also tried to make it standalone games by just featuring new PokĆ©mon at first.

★★★★★ My party consists on Zigzagoon (level 5), Bunnelby (level 4), Scatterbug (level 5), Fennekin (level 7), Fletchling (level 6) and Pidgey (level 6). In this new region, Iā€™ve seen 10 PokĆ©mon and I have 9 of them; I donā€™t have any Badges yet. This game and generation introduce many new things, and they make several changes to improve the training experience; however I miss some from older games like the walking PokĆ©mon and the seasons.

★★★★★ I started the game over as X, I have 1808 DNA Souls and Iā€™ve purchased 4 parts. I also got 8 Special Weapons, 3 Heart Tanks, 1 Sub Tank and 4 Armor parts. I see this game improved several things from its predecessor, such as having Zero as a playable character and allowing him to get special weapons, as well as the upgrade store from past X games. I also noticed the stages are much different from its console counterparts.

☆★★★★ Iā€™m currently playing in Normal difficulty; Iā€™ve cleared 9 missions so far, but I havenā€™t tried any of the challenges yet. On Multiplayer, Iā€™m rank 1, and Iā€™ve played in 1 arena in Survivor mode. The game looks somewhat generic and short compared with other similar games, but it makes up for it with its extra modes. Also, the health system gives it a little bit of variety.

[05/01/24](!) Link entered the Lanayru region and explored the mine with the Timeshift Stones. Now back outside, he gazes upon the vast desert.

★★★★★ Iā€™m playing on Hero Mode. From the gear, I have the Goddess Sword, the Sailcloth, the medium wallet (with 3 extra wallets) and 6 Pieces of Heart (10 hearts total). From the Adventure Pouch (with 2 extra pouches), I have 3 shields, 2 seed satchels, 1 bomb bag, 1 medal and 3 bottles. From the items, Iā€™ve gotten 4. Iā€™ve obtained 15 Gratitude Crystals and Iā€™ve struck 8 Goddess Cubes, with 5 of them claimed.

[05/01/24] Before entering the desert I explored a big dark cavern, getting some souls inside. I also donated enough to repair the eastern bridge.

★★★★★ From the gear, I have 2 swords, 2 shields, 2 tunics, the big wallet and the big quiver; Iā€™ve also caught 1 different kind of fish and 10 Golden Bugs. Moreover, I have 15 Pieces of Heart (9 hearts overall) and 4 Secret Skills learned. I have collected 14 Poe Souls and Iā€™ve obtained 13 items so far. One of my favorite 3D Zelda games, full of small and big details that make it stand out; even if itā€™s somewhat similar to Ocarina of Time structure-wise.

I loved restarting games back when I was younger, but nowadays I try to experience new things. Can't live my life only reminiscing the past. It's an attitude kinda thing I guess.

Damn, restarting a game over... I have considered it for some games I really love, but I feel like I'd miss out on so many other great games that are still out there. I don't think I should.

But I actually saw a Youtube video about this "I'm near the end, I kinda don't wanna play it anymore" thing. It apparently happens to many people. I'm always happy when I near the end and actually play a game more often, while typically I have problems in the middle of the game to keep it going. Lots of games captivate me in the beginning and then slowly lose me. No idea why.

The Witcher for example: first Chapter is great, I have played it twice now, but now that I am again in Chapter 2... ugh... it is just a bit tedious. I had similar problems with other games in the past. Also Baldur's Gate has this. And Diablo II. And... I dunno. But maybe I burn out on it, then need something else until I feel I can come back to it.

But this is different than what you seem to experience. You are stalling the end. It rarely happens to me, except a game gets incredibly difficult. And even then, I try not to stop and just keep improving until I can make it!

No problem and thank you! I really like how detailed your progress notes are! I am still trying to find out exactly how I want mine to be.
So many games, so little time to play them.
