Past week I’ve done Shadow Warrior 3 and Chicken Police: Paint it Red
Both relatively short which after finishing Lost Judgement a week prior was quite enjoyable and yeah I enjoyed both of them for different reasons
Shadow Warrior was just stupid fun and didn’t overextend it’s plot and Chicken Police was just weird (in a good way) but the noir stuff was good too

Completed Metroid II and Zero Mission (98% of items, which was kinda heartbreaking, only missed one energy tank and one missile pack), taking a break before trying Fusion by going through everything in Soul Blade for the PS1. Completed Edge Master mode and now just doing all the arcade ladders to unlock the last few hidden characters.
EDIT: Soul Blade complete, every hidden character unlocked, from the reskins to SoulEdge and Seong Han Myeong.

Jedi- Fallen Order
Picked this up for cheap. I like the story and characters but the gameplay is just plain dogshit.
It's really not a Star Wars game, it's a parkour game with elements of Tomb Raider. The slides, ropes and wall running shit was just maddening. I died so many times by falling into a bottomless abyss or had to repeat actions 20 or 30 times just to find collectables because of the shitty game mechanics.
The lack of a fast travel option was insanely stupid. It would take hours to find a way through the incomprehensible maps just to get back to the ship. The puzzles just stop the story dead in its tracks. I needed to go on YT for almost all of them because the solutions required almost impossible levels of complexity.
The Force powers make no sense. The lead character is a Jedi who cannot open locked boxes without the help of his robot, and cannot burn vines without using lanterns. He can levitate other people but can't stop himself falling to his death. Why does he have a Force meter? Since when does the Force run out? I'm also sick of Star Wars games where killing a stormtrooper requires several shots with a lightsabre.
Awful.

6. Final Fight
Far from the first time I have beaten it and it won't be the last, either. I have always liked this game, but being that I play what is apparently a port of the arcade game, you just know it is exactly that because of how cheap the AI could be that gets players to pump in more quarters as you play it. I should know because I remember way back when, I played this game on an Ultracade cabinet and I think I spent a decent amount of money on it. I made it to the final level but I didn't beat it. I know I pumped in a lot of tokens, though.

I've been sick with flu these past few days so I got my TV and Xbox out of storage and fired up Mad Max, which I picked up for £5 when it was on discount last year.
Really fun GTA-style game, which serves as a loose prequel to Fury Road. The vehicular combat is solid, and the hand-to-hand combat is your bog standard Arkham combo system. The levelling up system is a bit busted – you can fully upgrade Max pretty early on in the game, but you can't fully upgrade your car until the game's nearly over – and the story missions are all packed into the last 20% of the game, but I had plenty of fun.

7. Captain Commando
As a big fan of beat-'em-ups, I recall playing through this game at a movie theater that had an Ultracade cabinet. I got as far as the final boss (man, how much did I spend at the time?) but didn't complete the game. However, when I bought "Capcom Classics Collection vol. 2," I did complete the game. The same happened with this playthrough.
I have to give Capcom credit for what they did with this game. It had more of a sci-fi/superhero theme than a gritty crime feel like "Final Fight." Why am I mentioning that game? Because one, that game is a well-known beat-'em-up they did up to that point, and two, it's set in Metro City, the setting for "Final Fight." I noticed that this game was more violent because of some moves that the main four characters do. Sure, there wasn't much, if any bloodshed, but they didn't pull punches on how one character could dismember an enemy as a finisher (with the enemy's health being very low).
My main gripe is how short some of the stages were. I felt like the first few stages were completed in such short of time that I was like "that's it?" Still, it's a fun game.

Considering the number of hours this game takes to get anywhere, I am counting the DLC packs as games.
2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone
I'm going to do the other expansion pack and then finally get back to the main game. I should be done by May, lmao

I count expansion packs as games myself.
8. Armored Warriors After completing "Captain Commando," I noticed this on the "Capcom Beat-'Em-Up Bundle" and just decided to play it a little, only to find that I went through the entire game. The first thing I noticed is that whoever you're playing as, the cutscenes before each level starts differs. So I might play through it another three times to get more from each character. One thing I found interesting is that with this game involving mech-suits, you could pick up different weapons and power-ups, whether it's a gun/cannon, melee weapon, and also something for transport like tank treads. That last part adds to the combat, especially with dash attacks.

1. Need for Speed Underground - Gamecube 2. Day of Reckoning 2 - Gamecube 3. 007 Agent Under Fire - Gamecube 4. Halo: CE 5. Halo 2 6: Halo 3 7. Halo Reach
8. Now playing Crusader Kings 3. Working my way up from a count to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. So far, I managed to extend my territory and use a strong hook to arrange marriages with the heiresses of Bavaria & Austria so I could later inherit those lands. All was fine & dandy until I forgot to disinherit my other sons with my current character before he died, so due to the current succession laws, my realm has been partitioned. -__-

Not really "beaten", but I finally completed a "Master File" of GTA San Andreas that I've been working off and on over the last couple years.
For anyone who doesn't know what a Master File is, it's where you complete as much of the game as you can without actually starting the story; or where you complete as much of the extra stuff before you start the story.
It's not my first completion, but it was the first time I did it the way that I wanted to. See, I wanted to see if I could do all this extra stuff without killing or seeing anyone get killed. No weapon usage. No fires or explosives used. No exploding vehicles. And no Police Bribes. Don't ask me why I attempted to do this, but for a "story" standpoint, it made sense to me.
Some stuff was easier than other things, but any side missions in San Fierro or Los Venturas was rather hard, not only because of the constant 4 star rating, but even if I completed something, I had to get back to my safehouse safely, and if any police or civilians got killed, it meant I'd have to restart. Nonetheless, I still figured out a few ways to avoid confrontations as much as possible, which helped my progress...but anyone familiar with the game's missions such as The Hippie Shopper would know how absolutely insanely tough that is on a normal Master File run. Trust me...I must have completed that 50+ times, only to have some pedestrian get killed. In order to avoid kills, I also had to employ a glitch for Vigilante. Anyways, here's how I would rank everything;
Paramedic - easy, small town north of Los Santos makes this very easy
Fire Truck - easy, although it's very easy to fail in the first couple levels...stay away from highways!
Vigilante - easy, using the safehouse glitch allowed the criminals to "die" but not show up in the crime stats. I did have to restart this a few times since around Level 9, the glitch becomes less pronounced and sometimes didn't work.
Taxi - hard...a lot of it comes down to not having a lot of time, and did I mention I wanted to complete this in one attempt WITHOUT fixing car damage? That meant 50 straight fares without blowing up my car.
Pimping - medium due to needing to get a run where you don't have anyone abusing your girls, since that would mean you'd have to kill them. I probably has to reset 30 or more times. Still, it's rather easy.
Burglary - easy...just plain easy. I tried to make it hard for myself by trying to get 50 items in one night, but I never got more than 46, so I had to settle for that.
8 Track - medium...only due to car damage. It's easy to get first, but it's just a long race and hitting a wall can do a lot of damage, therefore blowing up your car.
BMX - easy, except for one checkpoint
Roboi's Courier - easy as long as you know your path
Bloodring - easy, but I tend to get lucky most of the time when I'm in there.The only difficult thing is getting home without anyone getting killed.
NRG-500 - easy and also very fun. Thankfully, this is secluded, so outside of a cop flipping their car, you should be okay. This is one of those missions that looks way harder than it actually is.
Chiliad Challenge - medium, mostly because I did all three races in one attempt. I did sort of cheat by pushing the other cyclists off the mountain any time I got near them.
Hippie Shopper Courier - HARD...again I can't stress how frustrating this was since your motorcycle is hard to steer, hard to stop and hard to get going. While it has a great top speed, you don't want to use it because it makes it much easier to get hit by cops. And the cops set up roadblocks all over the place that is an instant death sentence. When I finally completed it, I raced to the west ocean to take the safest way back home by swimming, especially when you slowly lose your wanted level. Thanks to a glitch where if you leave your game on for too long, the police helicopter doesn't appear, so despite it taking nearly an hour of swimming afterwards...I had done it.
Kick Start - easy, again getting home is far more difficult
Dirt Track - HARD...this was the first time I beat it legit. In every other playthrough in years past, I do the method where there's one ramp where everyone crashes their bike, which gives you an opportunity to kill them all, but since that was off the table, I had to just master this race. People complain about Supply Lines being the toughest mission, but I'd say this is much harder. Thankfully, I got lucky and didn't have anyone get killed while I made it home.
Burger Shot Courier- medium...the mission itself is pretty easy due to the handling of your scooter, but there's plenty of civilians, meaning I had to reset it a lot due to kills. Also for some reason, the police tend to ram you more in Los Venturas, so there were a few unlucky tries.
Tags - easy, even though I tried to avoid provoking police. An early idea I had for the run was to avoid any non territory wanted stars, but this became challenging here, so I gave in.
Snapshots - medium...but this was very fun, and limiting myself to only 50 pictures taken for the 50 locations, meaning if I missed it, I had to restart...but again it was very fun.
Horseshoes - hard, only because there's a handful that are on top of buildings which are difficult to get. There's a guide that says you have to sacrifice your helicopter to get 3 of them, but I only needed to sacrifice my helicopter once for the one on that stupid billboard. This is also the only time where I broke this up into segments instead of trying to do it in one attempt, only because of the amount of time it took to get on those buildings.
Unique Jumps - medium...these would have actually been easy, but there are 5 specific jumps that are hard. The jump at Mt Chiliad is annoying to get to with a ton of cops knocking you off the mountain. The jump near the Pyramid in Los Venturas absolutely needs the NRG-500 (which doesn't spawn in Los Venturas, meaning I had to push one over a blocked bridge). Two other jumps have a police bribe, so I had to hit the jumps in a way in order to avoid getting the bribes, harder than it looks due to their hit detection. And a jump in the desert can't be hit with a motorbike since your bike hits a wonky spot that interrupts your momentum. There's also one other jump that is impossible to get due to a glitched wall, so you can't win them all.
Oysters - easy...this was actually one of the first things I did. The only one that was hard was the military base in San Fierro due to the police boats.
Lastly, I maxed out my money, muscles, my bicycle stats, motorbike stats, airplane stats, lung capacity, all properties bought, and have cars Euros, Phoenix, Hustler, Hot Knife and Sea Sparrow. No busts or hospital visits. No bullets fires, fires set or explosives used. No failed missions. All this in 21 recorded hours of gameplay in 30 safehouse visits.

1. Pokemon Crystal 2. Crash Bandicoot: N Sane Trilogy 3. Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex
4. Resident Evil: Director's Cut - Went with the non-Dualshock version to pass on the awful music but had a lot of fun with this. Hated the second half of the game due to the massive amount of hunters EVERYWHERE but overall enjoyed it. On to the 2nd one

9. Resident Evil 2 Remake
Beat Leon's campaign in under 3 hours while getting every item, doubt I'm going to beat Claire's so I don't overdue it on RE games before RE4.

5. Sonic Heroes - I LOVED this game as a kid but holy hell is it jank as f***. It's still pretty fun but there's so many times you lose a life and you're just sitting there like "WTF". I wish the "true" final boss was better gameplay-wise, because fighting this massive metal dragon in a stormy sky while he throws f***ing BATTLESHIPS at you was dope as f*** but actually fighting him was nothing to write home about.

18. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Actually resumed the playthrough I did last year where I beat Ganon while I still had a Divine Beast, the memories, and about half of the shrines left. This time went through doing all of that stuff plus the DLC then beat it again, which was how I'd always beaten it previously but last year I didn't really want to put that much time into it.
Guess it works as a prelude to Tears of the Kingdom in a couple of months in that way, kind of hoping I didn't already burn myself out on it, but I'm not really hyped for it to begin with so I dunno if I'm actually going to go for it at launch or not anyway.

10. Resident Evil 3 Remake Now I'm playing 5 and so far I f***ing hate it. I keep wanting to try and get into more Resident Evil games. I think I've played most of them at this point but the only one I've actually beaten, or really gotten particularly far in, is RE4. Played that over and over and over but the rest of the series has just never really spoken to me.
