What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?

I picked up “Mafia: Definitive Edition” cheap the other day (I’ve linked it on Steam as it’s still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I’m glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn’t any “Freeride Extreme” in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the “Freeride” mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

Sleeping dogs for the second time. Wasn’t bothered to collect all of the stuff after doing the story as I’ve other things to play.

It was good fun for the few days while I played it

I played and finished Dredge. It’s a fishing horror game, but a surprisingly relaxing experience! Very recommended. You go out with your boat in search of that rare catch. But at night you have to be careful of going crazy. Nice story too.

Final Fantasy XVI about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It is a very satisfying, increasingly fun, game. I love how the story was told and the progression of the combat system which continues to give you more options without getting more complicated. And it was actually a complete story unlike XV. I’d put it in the mid top half of Final Fantasy games I’ve played.

I’ve had a VR run recently and finished Red Matter 1, Moss 2 and Red Matter 2.

All excellent games.

  I played Moss and loved it. Moss II is sitting in my library waiting for my attention. I need to get around to it.

I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last “story” ending was Diablo 4 and I haven’t liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending… Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it… It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃

Before this I guess it was “It takes two” and it was great.

  I feel you on Diablo 4. I can’t bring myself to log in to do the new season. Plus note, huge update and new DLC coming to Grim Dawn. Super excited there.
  
  As someone else that has a hard time finishing a game (be it time/too many others to play), what are some open ended ones you could reco if any?

    😄 there are a few:
    
    Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.
    
    Tiny Thor -> another good platformer
    
    Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game… But it seems like the visuals are. 🤔 As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.
    
    Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a “short” round inbetween…
    
    Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.
    
    Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.

F.E.A.R. and I thought it was pretty fun.

Looks great for when it was made and the lighting was pretty impressive. The story was kind of dumb and super cliche. The scares mostly didn’t work, but they got me with a few jump scares. The music and atmosphere were pretty eerie and effective. Decent shooter!

I’ll eventually check out the sequels and now I really want to play that studio’s spy games. I think they are called No One Lives Forever or something like that.

Cut scene. It was Starfield. Cut scene. Once was enough. Cut scene. Fast travel back to Skyrim…

Honestly, that would have to be Oneshot, and it was amazing. All I can really say without spoiling it is that it’s somewhat like Undertale in terms of enjoyment, at least for me.

Undertale and Oneshot spoilers
Although I would prefer that the emotional tension in Solstice was kept with more side stuff that you could mess up and have permanent consequences. What I liked about Undertale is how your actions truly felt like they mattered in the long run. Go from town to town killing everyone? The other’s will know and hate you for it. If you instead give everone mercy, never killing a single soul, those actions won’t matter until the end. And by then, you’d be glad to have done it. So, the way you play truly mattered, and affected the game’s perception of you the player. In Oneshot, I initially thought that my actions truly mattered, but found out quickly that they didn’t. The story remains the same no matter what actions you take. That took away from some of the impact the game had. I still cried during Solstice, though.

Pretty sure the last game I fully completed, not just did a successful run of, would have to be Beyond The Edge of Owlsgarde.

It’s a point and click adventure game where you play as a deer who comes home for some sort of celebration, only to find his parents are missing. It’s charming enough and I found the cast to be enjoyable, especially one special death scene where the English voice actor for the main character improvised and created a hilarious scene because of it.

It’s short enough that a full non-commentary playthrough is around 2hrs20min long, but I definitely spent a lot longer on it since I had no idea what to do in certain scenarios. If you don’t mind anthro animal characters and are looking for a decent modern point and click, I would recommend it. I personally enjoyed it despite sometimes having no clue what to do.

Heretics Fork, very fun little indie game

Spider-Man 2, it’s was the cookie cutter definition of a safe sequel. More of the first game, but marginally bigger and better. Combat felt improved, web wings made traversal more fun, story was taken up a notch (though I still think I prefer the first games overall). I kinda just felt like my time with the game was a little too short for seventy dollars. Honestly just another couple side quest lines would have been enough to make it reach the playtime that I would have expected. I did really enjoy it. It is a better game than the first one. 16hrs is just a little too short for this kind of game I think. I am very hopeful for the DLC and I’m really happy with where they took the story. I need to go back and complete the collectathon stuff, but I have seen some of the Spider Shots you get for them and I’m not super interested really. Most seven out of ten game I have finished this year.

Atelier Totori. Part of a very chill/cozy series about young girls crafting things with alchemy.

I enjoyed the story. It was a bit more emotional than I was expecting. I like games like this that get deep into the crafting, but the UI/UX was kinda brutal. I’m going to keep trying more recent games in this series, hoping to find one I liked as much as this one, just more friendly to tinker with.

Finish last, GYLT. That is was kinda good game. Working on Scars Above, will finish today or tomorrow. I think I like it. There is a stretch where “I’m like, am I doing the same thing over and over?!”

I want to get “Immortals of Aveum”, but I accidentally added the demo to my PS5, and now I do not see the option to buy the standard (and discounted) edition. PS store is the worst!!

I just finished Spiderman 2. I enjoyed it. It’s technically ambitious with the city being so huge but detailed, second load screens for fast travel and just generally beautiful. It adds a lot more combat mechanics and balances some broken mechanics. The story was heartfelt and well done for the most part as well with a few non-combat sections that really let me relate to Peter and his relationships with Harry Osborn and MJ. Yurenthal as Peter Parker put in some emotional performances.

But the gameplay overall is extremely iterative. And the last third or so is extremely rushed with whole plot lines being crammed in and resolved in literal minutes.

If you liked the first game and just want more and “better”, you will get that with this game. I was definitely satisfied.

Endless Dungeon with a friend. It was entertaining but we finished a full run after not too much time and we’re both pretty disappointed. The base gameplay was good, but it really felt like a demo, no real drive to play it again

I just finished demon souls and I thought it was pretty good overall. I felt like the difficulty was interesting. I hit an initial wall until I realized I had to jump from area to area. At that point I steamrolled the rest of the game in two days.

Not my favorite of the souls series, but it was interesting. I could see how they used demon souls as a way to test the waters with various ideas.

I still think my favorites are dark souls 3 and sekiro.

Currently playing bloodborne now. I like where it’s going, but I’m still only on the third(?) boss so I’ll have to wait and see. It’s the last of the series that I need to play.

Cyberpunk 2077. Enjoyed the game. Pissed me off tho. 2 reasons: 1) the female PC cannot hook up with Panam and 2) the DLC is not released on older gens. Soured me on the whole company.

  CDPR are actually providing consistent updates to their games and free graphics updates on the next gen. Mind you that’s pretty rare these days.

I recently finished Diablo 3 (finished the campaign, then went into adventure mode and played until I got sub 3 minutes GR 90 runs). And yesterday I finished the main storyline for Q.U.B.E. Anniversary Edition. Now working my way through the bonus sector 8.

I tend not to finish most games because I am almost constantly leaping from one to another (or playing games that you can’t really beat), but I think the last one I played to completion was probably Cyberpunk2077 around the time of release: Despite the criticism, I enjoyed the game quite a bit and the ending I did on my first playthrough was pretty damn bleak and soul-crushing.

Been meaning to play it again after all the patching and now that there’s an expansion, I might actually get around to it one of these days…

After Tears of the Kingdom I got a few cheap games. The ones I finished from among them were The Last Campfire, Arise: a Simple Story and Aspire: Ina’s Tale. Each one was worth the $2-3 I spent for them. I could see myself replaying TLC or Aspire. Arise was ok to do once but it’s too emotional for me to want to replay.

It’s hard for me to finish a game. Couple of reasons there. Rather determined though with Gotham Knights right now.

Thinking back to what he last one was… I believe it was Hypnospace Outlaw. That game was a straight trip. Problem solving got a bit much near the end, but my son and I got through it. Really looking forward to the sequel.
