PixlBit

It's some fun run-and-gun with huge amounts of enemies on screen. It's not winning any graphics or deep story writting awards though. 

I hope so, but it'll take a lot to get me to shell out more than a benjamin for anything right now. 

I bounced off ME1 several times before I finally went and finished it and then didn't even think about continuing with 2 and 3. Then I bounced off Andromeda a few times later on. This year, I've ripped through 2 and 3 and now about to finish Andromeda. What happened? I've found I like them. 

8-bit Adventures looks like it might be fun. I keep seeing it in the Xbox store and wondering if it was worth it. 

I might be tempted to play Moe Waifu H BlockBlast when I play a lot of block breakers in January (my theme for that month). But only if I've exhausted everything else. 

I like the look of Rogue Sentry too. Seems hard though. It reminds me to play twin-stick shooters as a theme one month next year. 

The closest I'm come to an Animal Crossing game is Farm Together and I just learned Farm Together 2 is coming to Xbox next year! I can't wait. 

Good one, but what if that's 1000 games, like I probably want to play? What then? 

Playing for fun? Egads! Haha. I'd like to read your review of all the M&L games. I like a lot of them. 

Gato Robo looks interesting even though I tend to shy away from metroidvanias (cor.  meowtroidvanias). 

I loved Lego City Undercover. Maybe my favorite Lego game so far. 

That Dead Space remake revived my interest in the series. I really liked it a lot. 

Thanks! And you're right. I could do a whole year on most generations after the second and even on a single console like the PS2. I may consider something like that in the future. 

This year was different but similar. I put Gen 1-3 together for January (Pong/Atari/NES) followed by Gen 3, Feb. (Genesis/SNES console wars), Gen 4, March (PS/N64). Then from April (1998-2000, when Metacritic begins showing more search results), I did three year spans for each month and used Metacritic to generate a list. I'm currently on 2019-2021. 

That was fun, but I want to stick a little more closely to the history for 2025. I'll probably not use Metacritic to generate lists. I think I might go through my own collections first because I want to thin the herd of bad games. Then maybe go by release dates. There's always so much though. It's hard to try and find a satisfying focus and not try and cover everything. But I may come up with a favorite genre theme each month, like shmups for Gen 2 and RPGs for Gen 4, or something like that. Oh, I'm keen on brick-breakers for Gen 1. I got way into those earlier this year. I may start with that. 

Oh cool. I look forward to your review. What do you think of Ys IX?
