240 | Gaming Year in Review 2021

[straightforwardly]

I realize we’re already just about finished with the first month of the year, but I thought I’d throw up a (very brief) post about my gaming in 2021 anyway. Skipping my usual questionnaire this year, mostly because I don’t feel like I really did enough gaming to justify answering the questions.

Games I Beat in 2020
This World Unknown (itchio) — 2/4 routes; uninterested in doing the rest for reasons of "no" and "shouta", so counting as finished
Sonic Adventure DX (Steam)

Halloween Otome* (itchio) — The Count’s route only
Scarlet Hollow — Episode 1 (Steam)
Our Life: Beginnings & Always* (Steam)

Streets of Rage 4 (PS4)

* = replay

All Games = 6
Visual Novels = 4

Other Games Played, Not Beat
The Amber Throne (Steam) (Abandoned)
Akiba’s Beat (Vita) (Abandoned)
Natural - Beyond Oasis - (Steam)
Cozy Grove (Steam)
Nights of Azure (Steam)

From the games not yet beat, I’m making steady progress on Cozy Grove, and… still have hope for Nights of Azure, though having to do a harder redo of a boss I only beat by luck the first time around is putting some doubts about my capability to do so into my heart, and I’m struggling to find the time for it.

Also, as with the year I finally beat Star Ocean: The Second Story, it feels really weird to not mark Sonic Adventure DX as a replay, but... technically I never beat it as a kid, so.
