Games Beaten - May 2024
A better month with interesting games. They were not all good, but they provided a wide variety that kept me invested. I also had more free evenings this month, which meant I could slow down and enjoy side content.
My bumper monthly completions include 7 games: a couple of huge efforts, a medium-sized game, and 3 small desserts. There was also a real oldie from 1993 that only took a tiny bit of my time.
02-May-2024 - We Happy Few (PC) – 33H24M
03-May-2024 - SteamWorld Dig (PC) – 7H25M
14-May-2024 - The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary (PC) – 1H29M
16-May-2024 - Invincible Presents: Atom Eve (PC) – 5H17M
20-May-2024 - Rusty Lake: Roots (PC) – 5H03M
20-May-2024 - The Stalin Subway 2: Red Veil (PC) – 2H34M
21-May-2024 - Yakuza 0 (PC) – 53H53M
We Happy Few was a 30+ hour open-world game with a fantastic setting where to forget the past, most of the population got hooked on drugs. In fact, it is illegal not to take them, and the few that do so are criminal outcasts. The colour palette is reflective of your situation, with psychedelic colours and shapes dominating the cities. The game follows three individual stories of those outcasts, and while this is a magnificent effort from what started as an indie outfit, the auto-generated environments are vast but feel very uniform and empty of activities. I enjoyed my time with the game, but a small, curated world would have been better.
I mentioned before that I’m no good at Metrodvanias, but I’ll try to play more of them. Steamworld is a great starting point for the genre, where you dig deeper and deeper into the ground, mine minerals, and then climb out to sell them for equipment that will open up additional traversal options. The game is also fight-light, which was fine with me. The only boss fight is apparently easy, but it took me a good hour to master. Mind you, I felt that I was getting better with every go at it and enjoyed my 7 hours with the game.
The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary was not on my backlog. I fished it up on an abandoned-ware site to match it to one of the challenges in the HLTB 2024 gaming challenge. It is a 30-year-old educational game where you have to solve a few logic puzzles to escape the island of Dr. Quandary. Dosbox did a good job of running this with no problems.
Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is a visual novel with RPG turn-based combat elements. I got it for free from the Epic Store and also played it as a part of the HLTB 2024 gaming challenge. The story was weak and confusing – maybe because I don’t follow the Invincible universe. Overall, it was a mediocre and uninteresting experience.
I have played all of the Rusty Lake games up to this one, but Rusty Lake: Roots was kind of special. It still has the same unique art style, macabre puzzles, and uneasy storytelling, but this one was divided into 30+ small chunks, each a leaf on the family tree, each a puzzle, telling the full cycle of a family’s life, death, and rebirth. If it wasn’t for Yakuza 0, this would have been my game of the month.
On the other side of the quality spectrum was The Stalin Subway 2: Red Veil. There was a time I was interested in exploring some little-known first-person shooters, and I got The Stalin Subway 1+2 in a bundle for a pound. The first one was bad, but the second one was downright awful. The voice acting by itself is the worst I have ever heard – so much so that it’s actually funny.
Closing the month was the fantastic Yakuza 0. It’s everything that We Happy Few wasn’t. an action-adventure (mashed with tonnes of other genres) set in a small open world that is fully curated, with an interesting main story, side stories, loads of mini-games, and activities that are tightly packed together. Voice acting is fantastic and characters are memorable and varied. Overall, it was a great experience. It’s not only the best game I played this month, but one of the best games I've ever played. I finished it with 30% of the completion list done, and I am going to keep playing on and off until I reach at least half the list and finish the two main management mini-games because they are so much fun.
Keeping with my New Year resolution, I buy one game for every four I remove from my backlog, but last month I got a bundle with 2 games so found myself in debt of 4. After this month I cover the debt plus an extra 2, so provided I finish at least two additional games next month, I will try to get something on a discount from my vast wish list.
For next month, I’m already 8 hours into the Metro: Last Light and eyeing the Talos Principle as a possible next game to take on.

This seems slightly preemptive, there's still more than 24 hours left in the month in my timezone. I'll totally beat GTA 3 by tomorrow :S Seriously though, I'll post my list this weekend.
Also, holy crap, Dr. Quandary. I had that game as a kid. Totally not aging myself at all.

I played more than I thought I would this month! Honestly some really great experiences all around:
Pokémon Colosseum for Emulated GameCube – 70%
I only played XD: Gale of Darkness growing up, so this was a new experience. It's a slog and its story is messy, but I need to respect that early 2000's edge and grit. I appreciate that they were really trying to push open-world Pokémon games narratively around this time, and it's not something we really see again until Legends: Arceus.
Infernax for PS4 – 85%
This game is so tasteful with its pixel art and killer 16-bit soundtrack. While its protagonist is intentionally clunky and stiff, this aspect really plays into how much of a tank he can be, and I really loved the challenges and monsters that kept coming through. Timing windows in platforming segments and lack of checkpoints does add difficulty, but not in the same, organic way that its combat and Metroidvania aspects do.
Wedding Witch for Mac – 75%
Definitely a degenerate choice this month, but I'm surprised by how solid its gameplay is? It takes what works from Slay the Spire and Hades and mashes it all together into a surprisingly solid (for what I expected) experience.
Ratchet & Clank for Emulated PS2 – 70%
My first Ratchet & Clank game was the remake of this from 2016, so I don't have a childhood attachment to it. It's pretty frustrating to control and the visual fidelity of the time/Ratchet's character really holds it back. Overall, it was pretty frustrating to play, and I found myself using save states over and over because its checkpoints and health system aren't very kind.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch – 90%
"Beaten" as in started a new island and got K.K. Slider to visit, I'm actually still playing this one! With the Happy Home Paradise DLC, this is a solid Animal Crossing experience that was done dirty by lack of variety and being released too early. Had all of this come out at once sometime in 2021 with more to do in the base game, more people might still be playing.
Papers, Please for Mac – 80%
Reliable as always, and I've always enjoyed the morally gray tones that Lucas Pope baked into this game. It can lose its charm because of some redundancy after the first 90 minutes, but I always find playing through to the end a rewarding experience.
Pokémon Leafgreen Version for Emulated Game Boy Advance – 75%
I like Gen III a lot more than Gen I, I'm sorry. It has better AI, artwork, and music- perhaps one of the best remakes ever made for its time. That being said, everything about this game moves so slowly compared to something like Legends: Arceus.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch – 90%
I kept telling myself I wouldn't beat this game in a week, but here I am, a week after release, talking about how I beat it this month. Everything about this game is so lovingly made- its art direction, music, and UX improvements make this my new definitive way to experience this game. And while its narrative is no longer able to surprise me, I still found myself getting emotional during the final battle. This game will always have a special place in my heart- the experience was so rewarding that I'll probably take a victory lap with it sometime next year.

Yes, Dr Quandary... The HLTB 2024 gaming challenge has this category where you have to play a game more than 30 years old. Every time I go about it, I parachute back to my past, and get reminded how old I really am :(

On May ___ I beat [or retired] ___ and gave it a score of ___.
05 – Resident Evil 2 – 100%
13 – [Portal Reloaded] – NR
14 – Firework – 70%
14 – Creaks – 95%
22 – Gravity Rush 2 – 80%
28 – Blair Witch – 65%
Best
The Resident Evil 2 remake was phenomenal, a really tense survival horror experience. I haven't given a 100% to a game since last July (both Immortality and Hi-Fi Rush). Another gem that I highly recommend was Creaks, a 2d puzzle game from Amanita Design. Finally, honorable mention for two cool aspects of two other games: the "falling" movement in Gravity Rush 2, which was like nothing I've ever played before, and the third "time" portal in Portal Reloaded. The puzzles were breaking my brain, but it added a creative and challenging layer to the test chambers to incorporate a green portal to go back and forth in time.
Worst
Blair Witch was the weakest of the bunch this month. Although it nailed a creepy environment in the woods, and the dog, Bullet, was a great companion (hint: make Bullet the lightest color you can, with a bright collar), I found it clunky, repetitive, drawn out, and the storytelling unnecessarily obtuse. I'd recommend two other Bloober Team games, Observer and The Medium, instead. Or if you want a really great horror game, play the Resident Evil 2 remake!

A nice good couple of games this month for me! I don't think I'll finish either of the two I'm currently playing today, but this is definitely my highest number of completions this year on a single month with 12 of 'em!
Ori and the Will of the Wisps - May 04
Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming - May 04
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory - May 05
New Super Mario Bros. - May 07
Super Mario Land - May 08
Tunic - May 09
Overboard! - May 14
Kirby's Halloween Adventure - May 17
Dave the Diver - May 20
Rhythm Heaven Fever - May 20
A Tower Full of Cats - May 23
PICO PARK: Classic Edition - May 24
Highlights of the month for me I'd say were Ori and Tunic for sure! But I had a lot of fun with pretty much every game here. I'm finally "up to date" with KH, which is a journey I wouldn't personally really recommend although they are fun enough, and I finally finished Half-Minute Hero which I had been chipping away for quite some time (it got very repetitive by the half way point). Apart from that Rhythm Heaven and other rhythm games always scratch a good itch for me, and A BLANK Full of Cats is definitely my favorite series of those little "find the hidden thing-y" type game. I'm also kinda sad that I didn't super enjoy Dave the Diver with all of the good things that I heard from it since its release, but hey, different stuff for different people.
Currently I'm going through Card Shark that some of my fellow FCL people may know I've had my eye on for quite some time, and the Yakuza trip continues with Like a Dragon. Both are great so far, and I'm guessing will be completed by end of June!

So I have finished... not a lot this month, for a couple of reasons. The big one is that the two live-service games I'm playing both released their new chapters this month. I'm gonna list them since they are both about 6-8 hours of new content, which is the length of smaller games.
Fate G/O: Traum chapter - This was a fun one. Not as complex as some of the previous chapters but pretty enjoyable nonetheless.
Honkai: Star Rail ver 2.2 - The climax of the Penacony arc and it was pretty hype. Maybe a bit overly verbose (I'm looking at you Sunday), we really didn't need to hear that bird story like three times.
Kanon - One of the earliest titles of Key, and this one was... fine. I did generally enjoy the common route, but also wasn't entirely convinced of it. Once I was on a route it didn't really go anywhere either, then it suddenly threw everything at you all at once in the last hour. After seeing the credits roll I decided that I had enough and considered my experience with Kanon finished. (On a side note, I reached a point where I no longer feel the need to finish every route of a visual novel. The completionist in me still doesn't rest until it sees the credits roll but I would rather not spend more time on a Vn that I consider not quite up to par.)
Hi-Fi Rush - Pretty fun and simple action game. Not much more to it than that, but what it aims for it achieves well.

5/01 Unsorted Horror
5/07 Buckshot Roulette
5/10 Rise of the Ronin
5/15 Resident Evil 6
5/19 Stellar Blade
DLC
5/24 Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen
5/28 Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide
Lots of time to play and complete games this month thanks to my classes wrapping up earlier on. My favorite game was easily Stellar Blade. This game is a fantastic, yet somewhat flawed character action game with absolutely killer combat. I also want to mention Buckshot Roulette, as though it wasn't my favorite game this month, it was still a really good horror game regardless. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Resident Evil 6 was easily my least favorite game this month and was just an overall terrible game. I'm glad the RE series went back to it's roots after this game because whats here is genuinely quite awful.

Super Mario Land - May 15 (GameBoy, NSO)
Donkey Kong - May 19 (NES, NSO)
King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow - May 22 (PC) (replay)
A few completions after a couple months of none. Admittedly Pokémon took me quite a while.

Like last month, I got 4 Games Done. All smaller ones. And this was one of the better months because I played some well received classics and ended up having a great time with them.
Lunistice (PC, 05/09, 3/10 - WORST Of The Year Contender)
Little Kitty, Big City (Xbox Series X, 05/13, 7/10)
Super Mario Land (NSO, 05/18, 8/10 - BEST)
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (NSO, 05/21, 8/10)
To get the worst out of the way, I may have been initially too hard on Lunistice because I was certainly not in a good mood when I finished it, but even then I can't excuse the absolutely crap tastic style over substance fest that this game offers. Sloppy physics and controls, the health bar has no point because you just fall to your death a million times, cheap deaths galore, it's clunky, unpolished, messy, feels incomplete like they didn't finish programming the entire game so that it would work, in the end those 1.5 Hours don't feel rewarding at all. I seriously had a bad time with this, maybe it wasn't the game's fault though. But even if I played this game in a good mood I would still find it insanely flawed. It gets an extremely low rating just because of how much it aggravated me. I just couldn't stomach getting the collectibles. It's not worth it. Trust me.
Next, Little Kitty, Big City which I played on Game Pass on my Series X. It was fine! The game works best when it's a stealth puzzle platformer and despite the Kitty's controls being limited I do think it worked in favor of the game they were designing. The Gauntlet to climb up back to the apartment was quite terrifying actually and I was so scared that he would fall and get hurt. You get to snuggle around people and have a cutesy 'Meow!' button which is cool and this game has more in common with Lil Gator Game than it does other types of sandbox adventure games like Goat Simulator and what not. This is the first good game we've had in this cozy platformer subgenre since Lil Gator in my eyes and it's shocking that it took one and a half years to finally get something good out of this. The nice thing is that the game doesn't fall into a lot of cliches that the Cozy Platformer falls into, so there's no ALL CAPS QUIRKINESS! crap that in this. It's short, around 2-3 Hours long and I beat it in one sitting but I did like over half of the side material so it isn't that long to begin with. The CDN $30 Price Tag is ridiculous and poor in value and I would only recommend either 1: Paying at Minimum $10 for this, 2: Playing it on Game Pass which is currently available on right now or 3: Get Lucky and hope Humble Choice gives you the option to redeem this game.
The last two games are Super Mario Land 1 and 2 and I'll basically talk about them both. While I deeply enjoyed both games, I feel Mario Land 1 is SLIGHTLY better than Mario Land 2. Mario Land 2 has more variety in levels and does have the nice option of a battery backup/file select plus the graphics are massively improved over Mario Land 1, but I feel Mario Land 1 is the more unique and interesting game of the series. Better soundtrack for one, the World 4 Music is god tier video game OST material and the game features things never done in other Mario games since like Side Scrolling Shoot Em Up levels. Even for how tiny the sprites are, the game feels great and hitting blocks is not a problem at all. Mario Land 2 is a tad bit harder with the final gauntlet at the castle, but both games are super short ranging from around 35 and 60 Minutes for the former and latter. After thinking about it more, my opinion on both has improved drastically after giving some time to think about it. Both games are awesome and you can play them on Nintendo Switch Online's Game Boy App.
I don't think I'll be able to complete Yakuza Kiwami 2 next month but I'm hoping once things settle down when I move at the end of June I will end up having more time to play it. Right now, I'm really wanting to play the Cat Quest games due to many recommendations of fellow members here and I will start them eventually! I'm also planning to play some Frogun on Switch, other than that I'm kind of just playing Biomutant again, this time on Switch and I'm surprised by how okay the port runs. Who knows what I'll play next? I'm not entirely sure myself. I've had quite a hard month for reasons, but I hope soon that everything will go back to normal. I probably won't post on the next monthly thread till I'm fully moved in. Until then, hope you're all doing good!

Decent amount of completions for me this month
May 3rd - Doom 3: BFG Edition - PC/Steam
May 16th - Doom 2016 - PC/Steam
May 17th - New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe - Switch
May 21st - Mario 3D World Bowser's Fury (DLC Only) - Switch
Doom 3 is my 2nd least favorite game of all time now, I could not get what any of the hype was about and I had a very bad time with it. (3/10)
Doom 2016 is one of my favorite games of all time, it is nearly perfect in every way. It was technically a replay for me, although I did go for all of the collectibles and upgrades this time around. (10/10)
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is extremely mediocre, it wasn't a particularly good time, not even New Super Luigi U was very good in my opinion. (6/10)
Bowser's Fury is spectacular, I had an extremely good time with it. (9.5/10)

I'm surprised by the amount of games I've completed this month. This is because I finished some games that I'd been playing since previous months, and because the ones that I've played this month were shorter that the ones I use to play.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team [Replay] - Nintendo DS - 15/05 - 26:33 h
- Football Manager 2024 [Replay] - PC - 15/05 - 106:42 h
- Far Cry 3 - PC - 18/05 - 19:12 h
- Bakugan Battle Brawlers [Replay] - Nintendo DS - 20/05 - 6:58 h
- Senua's Saga: Hellblade II - Series X - 28/05 - 7:20 h
- Mario Kart DS - Nintendo DS - 29/05 - 7:43 h
My favorite game was Hellblade II. I enjoyed much the first one (I love medieval-viking story and I'm pretty interested in psychological aspects) and I think this one is better. It's perfect for people who want to play a game with a deeper story or for those who don't prioritize gameplay.
About Far Cry 3, I liked, but I think I would have LOVED it if I'd played it like 10 years ago. Right now, I'm a bit tired of Ubisoft-style games, and the story is the one you enjoy A LOT if you are a teenager.
Finally, as you can see, I'm using my old Nintendo 2DS, so I think the next month I will have completed a couple of extra DS games.

hHow did you manage to finish these games? I work, and I can only finish 2 per month.

Half-Life (PC) - May 31, 2024 - Medium difficulty. - REPLAY
Half-Life was really a game ahead of its time. It's still feels so fresh and fun even after all those years. From it's atmosphere, combat, AI, music, and excellent pacing, it just fires on all cylinders. The only weak part of the game is Xen. I had so much fun replaying it after so many years.
Happy gaming for June!

Games Beaten in May, 2024
• Metal Gear Solid 2 (review)
• Sonic and the Secret Rings (review)
• Super Mario RPG (review)
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (review)
• Sonic Adventure (review wip)
• Star Fox 2 (review)
Knocked 6/7 games off my goal, but i cheesed it with Star Fox 2 bc it was 5 games yesterday and it was only 40 minutes. I also tried beating Castlevania Legends but couldn't in time. I feel a lot better about not meeting my goal now. I'm now only one game away from my yearly goal of 30. If i didnt get halfway through Castlevania, doom 2016 would've been number 30 for 2024. My goal for June will be only a handful. I can take it easy now in almost at my yearly.

My beats for the month:
Enter the Matrix - 6/10
Forspoken: the Tanta We Trust - 5/10
Alone in the Dark(2024) - 7/10
Mighty Goose - 8/10
Medal of Honor: Vanguard - 5/10
Army of Two: the 40th Day - 7/10
Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer - 5/10
007: World is Not Enough(PS1) - 7/10
Super Mario Bros: Wonder - 7/10
Dragon Ball FighterZ - 7/10
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun - 7/10
Metroid: Zero Mission - 7/10
Lots of 7 out of 10s this month but that's just the way I like it, I play a number of games a month so if I can score this many then that is pretty cool in my book.
Worst: Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer, Medal of Honor Vanguard and Forspoken Tanta We Trust. All these games are pretty mediocre. MoH Vanguard made me realize just how much I geniunely dislike CoD campaign's level design, they are so LINEAR, you can't go right or left, there is nothing to find, and there is a patronizing waypoint marker because the games are so linear you need to go one way and it railroads you so hard. It might as well be on rails. Older Medal of Honor games never rail roaded you this hard, you at least had actual levels. Forspoken's combat system is so fascinating to me, it feels like the devs couldn't decide whether they wanted to make a shooter or a melee combat game so you get a weird combination of both. I don't consider the game to be bad, but the whole time I like I was like, "can I play Infamous?" Slayers X is a pretty mediocre boomer shooter if not outright bad, the game is most certianly trying to be bad but I don't think it's as funny or ironic as the game thinks it is. The gameplay and level design are two things that just aren't very good especially level design, I love the level design in this genre and Slayers X botches it pretty hard despite having a proper map but it doesn't do much.
Biggest Surprise: Medal of Honor Rising Sun, Metroid Zero Mission, Enter the Matrix, 007: World is Not Enough, Alone in the Dark(2024) and Dragon Ball FighterZ. I was expecting 007 and Enter the Matrix to be geniunely terrible games and drop them after a few hours but instead I got to the end with them which is great. Alone in the Dark(2024) I was expecting to like but apart of me expecting to drop since the lukewarm reviews but it's a solid 7 out of 10, it's not going to revolutionize the industry the same way the original game did but it's a good time. Medal of Honor Rising Son was pretty good, I heard it was one of the last "good" games in the series before it got all mediocre and I agree, game isn't great but it has a decent amount of personality, the Japanese also do a decent enough job at distinguishing themselves in combat than the Nazis do. Metroid Zero Mission I was expecting to be lukewarm like Super Metroid but it's pretty good, got it's issues like the awful stealth section that can't decide if it wants to be about sneaking or a be a scripted set piece, the Kraid level being badly designed, how Norfair or just some parts of the games just lies to regarding whether or not fires can hurt you and Mother Brain boss being truly awful but the level design moment to moment is mostly good, it controls A LOT better than Super and combat isn't as brain dead easy, if you play this on emulator like I did, this might be the worst first Metroid you can play, it was kind of mine. DBFZ has an okay story mode carried by amazing production values and really amazing character interactions and voice acting. I know Cell's lines are pretty famous but they are just awesome. The actual campaign is okay, but is mostly carried by it's highly polished fighting mechanics. Fighting clones slowly starts to get old and by the time I got to the end section Android 21 arc, I wanted it to and luckily, it does.
Best: Mighty Goose. I love casual Metal Slug, it's super polished, everything looks great, it controls really well, there isn't much story, it's pick up and play, just the way I like it.

This month I beat a tiny Itch.io game which was so small I didn't bother mentioning it separately. The real completion is finally finishing Sparks of Hope. (If you want to know why I classify Tower of Doom separately, look at my review.) Now that I've done that, I can move on to other games, most likely starting with Azure Reflections before I move on to my next massive RPG which is Persona 4 Golden. Fun fact, I beat Sparks of Hope 1 minute before midnight on the last day, pretty funny to think it was that close to not making it onto this list.
May 6th - Passed & Present - 14m - (5/10) Main+ - Beat the game and beat 2/3 levels on hard mode.
May 20th - Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: The Tower of Doooom - 34h 5m - (Main+) 2/10 - Got 98% completion in Tower of Doom.
May 31st - Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope - 67h 56m - (9/10) 100% - 100% the main game and two of three the DLC.
Short TLDR of my review:
Passed & Present: Fun game jam itch game.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: The Tower of Doooom: Boring, infuriatingly difficult slog which takes way too long to complete and whether you can 100% complete it is based on random chance.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: Improves on Kingdom Battle in (almost) every way.

Nothing again for me this month. Its been a rough month for me in general 🙃. I probably could've fit in a quick game but I've been holding off on completing anything until I catch up on my video reviews. Hopefully I'll have at least one completion in June.
