3. Sleeping Dogs
Another great sandbox game from the PS3 era. One of my all time favourite games. Picked it up in the New Years sale for $6. Love the story and the gameplay is solid. Love the emphasis on melee combat over gunplay which really set it apart from other GTA like sandboxes at the time. Still gutted we're never going to get a sequel.

Not sure if it counts, but I just beat Tekken 8's story mode. Pretty involved and fun for a fighting game story, but was maybe just a tad too Jin-centric in terms of who you had to play as for me.

Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town
Yakuza 7
First Yakuza game I played. Was quite surprised to find out that it works on my laptop. Anyways, did all achievements since there were only a few left, so might as well. That said, the honk honk achievement was painful and more tedious than the second-to-last achievement.
Still, had fun. The other Yakuza games I'll get around to eventually, but for now it's back to farming with Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town.

4. Super Mario 3D World (Switch)
Just a really good game with bite sized levels that don't overstay their welcome. The last two levels are torture though and sky rocket the difficulty more than necessary.

6. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
Okay technically speaking it's not done because I've not done the DLC case but I want a break and it sucks anyway. I'll get to it and bust out the 3DS to do Asinine Attorney soon.
Been wanting to replay the game for quite awhile now and with the remaster finally happening, hey, now was the time. Not been a super long time since I did Apollo Justice or Dual Destinies so got right into this one first of the set.
It's still pretty good. Has its issues for sure, a lot of them come down on the main villain being a full retread of multiple other characters who are more interesting (and also Quercus Alba) and Nahyuta being by far the worst main prosecutor in the series due to hitting a perfect balance between being boring and wildly inconsistently written, but still like the game a lot and think it is one of the strongest entries in the series. I've been wanting to go on an Ace Attorney deep dive for awhile and might try and get to that soon, though have other VNs I want to catch up on first.

7. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
Basically I bought the DLC for this game back when I had PS Plus, but that expired so I lost access to it... until they put the game on sale for $5 yesterday and I figured screw it and picked it up, and figured hey, it's quick, do a run.
I've generally heard a lot better things about the sequel, and I'll probably check it out when I see it for cheap enough, but my interest on paper is kind of hurt by just thinking it has a much weaker roster than the first one.

1. Game Dev Tycoon. It's a fun time sink in its way, but it does kind of have certain issues of luck, like whether or not you end up with decent Topics to make games out of, and that it's kind of limited by how the game console releases just sort of mirror real life. It'd be nice if you had a way to change the course of history, but you really don't. I think like the only thing that really differs that much is that the Ouya-equivalent comes too late to be killed off and has any market share to speak of, even if it's not a whole lot, so you can release successful games on it if you want to. That's another thing, I guess: So much of your success kind of rides on if you're already big and doing well. If you're got 10s of millions of dollars, whether or not your next game does well barely even matters because you can easily take the hit and try again, versus how much of the early game keeps you on the razor's edge. It is nice to not have to work for publishers past a certain point, at least, and their bizarre game requests. 2. Hades. I haven't 100-percented it yet, but I have completed most of the game. Absolutely fantastic, one of the best purchases I've made in years.

1 - Jedi Survivor: I found it quite boring to be honest, the open world features were just a waste of time. The planets were dull and forgettable.
2 - Danganronpa 1 - Great game
3 - Danganronpa 2 - Just as good as the first
4 - Now playing a fangame, Pokemon Insurgence. It is good, harder than the regular Pokemon games so you can't just blitz your way through it. I still don't need to find myself using non-damaging moves for the most part, but I do have to pay attention to type matchups and the like much more than I do with the original games. As with most Pokemon games I don't have a "team of six" but rather a team of maybe a dozen that I cut and change as needs be -- Steelix, Tyrantrum, Magnezone, Sharpedo, Skuntank, Lilligant, Rapidash, Gengar, Claydol, Fraxure, Loudred and Snorlax.

8. Hades
Fourth escape I think, maybe fifth. Kind of the more I play of the game the more mixed my opinions are on it. I do find the core gameplay of it really fun... but I have an exceptionally hard time caring about anything to do with the plot, which is kind of a problem that bleeds into the gameplay when sooooo many of the different upgrades and item drops are primarily to facilitate that rather than just the raw gameplay. Kind of wish I knew of a game that plays like it but without all the side content that I feel like bogs the experience down.

5. Hand of Fate
Loved this game back then, and loved it again now. Mix of Rogue-like, dungeon crawler, and rpg type deal. Brimming with personality, though sometimes this game likes to act funny, it's a bit old now. Will redownload the switch port of the sequel this year too.

9. Sonic Colors
I can only assume this game's positive reputation primarily comes from coming out in the immediate aftermath of 2006, Sonic 4, and Unleashed, because otherwise holy shit I do not know how this game gets the love it does.
Like, there were parts I was definitely having some fun with it, but it overdoes it on the overly gimmicky levels soooo much, especially the constant auto-runner ones, and the jumping is incredibly wonky, especially how often you just fling yourself to your death trying to double jump because the game decided you instead wanted to homing attack an enemy you couldn't see. Combine that with how the bosses are all awful, and most of them are incredibly bullshit and frustrating, and it just led to an experience where despite how short it is I really had to force myself to finish the damn thing. This suuuuucked.
Maybe it worked better on the Wii, was playing the Switch version, but other than one level where I had some brief lag I really didn't notice any notable performance issues so I think it's just a poorly designed game in the first place. No wonder consensus opinion on the game in recent years has become a lot more negative.

1. Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Loved the game and done everything in the "world" but 150 hours is a bit over the top IMO. Having 782 collectables in it is just too much as well. Now onto the DLC

4. Super Mario 3D World (Switch) Just a really good game with bite sized levels that don't overstay their welcome. The last two levels are torture though and sky rocket the difficulty more than necessary. Beat Bowser's Fury last night and this was pretty good. But it's brought down my needing to beat the game to unlock fast travel and map markers, needing to wait for Bowser to show up for certain suns just so they can basically appear and have you walk up and grab them with no actual challenge, and having to leave islands so new sun challenges appear. One thing I will give Nintendo credit for is that they are putting more of an effort into giving Mario games and characters a personality. The ending was genuinely funny.
