Title: 2019 Gaming for NWR
Post by: Khushrenada on January 07, 2020, 12:29:52 PM
While there are a lot of sites, (such as our own,) talking about the games of 2019 and what was the best or just a review of the year in general, chances are that the NWR Forum users were playing a lot of other games dating further back than just 2019. So, here's a chance to see what everyone did take the time to play and any additional comments one may want to make about those games or get thoughts from others on.

For myself, list of games that I played and beat and or completed:
Super Mario Odyssey Untitled Goose Game Mighty Switch Force 2 BoxBoxBoy Donkey Kong Land 2 Donkey Kong Land 3 Mario's Picross Catrap Super Mario Land Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land Kirby's Block Ball The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Metroid: Other M Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Kirby Squeak Squad Myst DS Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask Mario Golf: World Tour Kirby Super Star - Kirby's 20th Anniversary Collection Kirby's Dream Land 3 - SNES Switch Super Mario World - SNES Switch
Games I played but didn't complete / are still playing or just messed around with a bit.
Nintendo Badge Arcade Crosswords 3DS Pokemon Picross F-Zero - SNES Switch Super Metroid - SNES Switch Zoo Keeper DS Mario vs DK 2: March of the Minis Pushmo World Kirby's Adventure - Kirby's 20th Anniversary Collection Challenge Mode - Kirby's 20th Anniversary Collection Tales of Symphonia ARMS 1-2-Switch Super Mario Party Snipperclips Plus: Cut It Out, Together Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tetris 99 Super Kirby Clash
From Super Mario Land and Catrap of 1989 to Super Kirby Clash and Tetris 99 of 2019, I was gaming the spectrum of 30 years last year.

I also kept a list of all the games I managed to finish for the first time in 2019.
Heavy Rain Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology Bad North Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Fire Emblem Warriors Persona 5 Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna the Golden Country Rhythm Heaven Megamix Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Code Name S.T.E.A.M Octopath Traveller Pokémon Colosseum Death Road to Canada Kirby Superstar Red Dead Redemption Final Fantasy 7 Untitled Goose Game
Pretty decent list, some games I've been wanting to play for a while. Persona 5 was a monolith, took me 170 hours to reach the credits, it's way too long in my opinion.
Codename Steam is the game I'm most glad I played. It's right up my alley but I've ignored it until now. It certainly has some aspects of it's design that are really annoying, it's probably the game on the list that made me swear and shout the most. Wouldn't say it's underrated or overrated, it's just rated.
Game least worth playing was Fire Emblem Warriors. In many ways feels like a step down from Hyrule Warriors. The roster is full of clones and it doesn't have the game play variety of Hyrule Warriors. Feels lower budget and disappointing.
Last observation is that I was surprised to find out FF7 is actually pretty short, still plenty of time for anyone to play before the remake.

Outside of review codes, I didn't beat all that much this year. I dabbled in plenty, and also spend a lot of time trying out games in beta/alphas, but this year marked more the year of "If I'm not enjoying my time with this anymore, don't chase bad time after good" for me.
Games I beat (or are run based): God of War (PS4) The Last of Us Remastered Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Control Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove Super Mario Maker 2? Fire Emblem: Three Houses Outer Wilds Risk of Rain 2 Dark Pictures: Man of Medan Nowhere Prophet Apex Legends Final Fantasy IX
Games I played and want to finish: River City Girls Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Luigi's Mansion 3 The Outer Worlds Link's Awakening Remake Untitled Goose Game Neo Cab
Games I played but won't beat: Crackdown 3 Void Bastards Devolver Bootleg My Friend Pedro
Games I want to play from 2019 but didn't get around to: Life is Strange 2 Disco Elysium Katana Zero Astral Chain Daemon X Machina Slay the Spire Persona Q2 (after I finish Persona 4 Golden) Dragon Quest XI
Beyond the above, I played a ton of Rocket League throughout the year, and a BUNCH of Smash Bros over the holidays. I've also done some rounds of Apex Legends and while I have fun with friends, It's something I could never bring myself to play solo.

List of games I beat for the first time in 2019.
Ninja Gaiden (NES) Hollow Knight Kero Blaster Blaster Master Zero Blaster Master Zero 2 Cuphead Axiom Verge Bleed Bleed 2 Castlevania Bloodlines Kid Dracula Odallus: The Dark Call Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda Super Mario Maker 2 Super Meat Boy Vice: Project Doom Sega Ages: Lighting Force (Thunder Force IV) Fatal Fury Doom Doom 2 Dark Souls
Games I played but didn't finish in 2019.
Star Soldier (NES) Mighty Gunvolt Burst R-Type Dimensions EX VVVVVV Castlevania 2: Simons Quest Slain: Back to Hell Contra (Arcade) Contra (NES) Crypt of the NecroDancer Joe & Mac 2 Puyo Puyo Tsu Fatal Fury Special
Games I've beaten in years prior but replayed again in 2019.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate Blaster Master (NES) Sega Ages: Sonic the Hedgehog Castlevania (NES) Super Castlevania IV Super Mario Bros 3 Mega Man 1
So overall it was a decent year with some major accomplishments like finally beating the original Ninja Gaiden and playing Doom and Doom 2, things I've wanted to do for a long time. I need to manage my time better though since I ended up buying around 90 games last year which made my backlog explode. So here's hoping I can be more productive in 2020.

Dang - I had a list on backloggery, but cleared it out just before this topic was posted. Oh well.
2019 was a pretty decent gaming year for me though. Had a month or two where work was busy and gaming died off... but otherwise, played a lot of games. That was a huge improvement from 2018, when gaming fatigue hit and I only played through a handful of new games.
Highlights from last year include: * Guacamelee - I had reasonably high expectations; the game exceeded them * Layton and the Last Specter - after a long time without playing a Layton game, this was great * Metroid Other M - a game with clear flaws... but I had a lot of fun with it! * ToeJam & Earl - played together with my son; this was the first time finishing the game, so beating it together was a good experience
Also worth noting this was the first year in a long time that my backlog went down instead of increasing! Yay!

Why would you do that? Need to keep that list so you can reference it for topics like this! Too bad since I thought we might have quite a bit of overlap from Game Boy games plus maybe some other stuff like Metroid: Other M.

If I wasn't so lazy, I could piece much of it back together by looking through the old Backloggery dates and events... but that would take effort. We did cover a lot of common ground last year though!
