While we are still waiting on a final count from last year ???
I also finished Bananza. It was good overall. It has some good moments and some boring moments and some mind blowing moments towards the end.
I liked it for the main quest. I wasnt interested in hunting for bananas. Eventually I also lost interest in the challenge rooms too.
It gets surprisingly difficult near the end with the boss battles.
I finished it with 254 bananas.
After 4 months I'm finally done with Xenoblade X: Definitive Edition...
Finished Enslaved Odyssey to the West. I really enjoyed it, definitely my kind of action game. I liked the story and characters too.
The game is 15 years old and definitely dated. The platforming and combat was quite janky, but it was fun. The combat was kind of annoying to start with, but after I unlocked some more abilities, it got better and easier.
I finished the main part of Bit Trip ReRunner. It is great. As I said before, it is very similar to the original game.
The biggest change is the levels now have optional checkpoints, which makes the game significantly easier. I had checkpoints turned off except for the boss levels
Like the other Runner games, I find it very satisfying to play, even though it is difficult. There is just something about the pace/rhythm of the platforming that just really works for me.
Difficulty overall is a bit less than the original game, but higher than 2 and 3.
There is a video of the final level here https://bsky.app/profile/lvaneede.bsky.social/post/3lwvylhxhhk2e
It includes a remake of the original game, so I will play through that now. There are a bunch of other bonus levels too, but I might not bother playing all of them.
There is also a online mode for downloading levels people have made with the level creator, but I havent looked at that yet.
Will probably return to Beyond Good and Evil like I keep promising. I mean I've beaten this game plenty of times before but this is the 20th anniversary release! Has anything changed? Yes it has in fact they added some completely trivial nonsense to try and create continuity to the sequel which will never come out but lol.
LOL. Yeah I'm playing on Switch so not fussed about achievements. That does sound hilarious though and I'm pretty sure I beat the original in one sitting back in the day.Will probably return to Beyond Good and Evil like I keep promising.

There's also a new "Speedrun Mode" where the game challenges you to beat it from start to finish without saving. It's nerve-wracking. I did it for the game's Platinum earlier this year. It's not that the game's difficult, but you're just petrified of the game crashing, which apparently it did at launch in this mode.
Finished Little Kitty Big City, or at least the main objective and some side stuff. The game is extremely cute. Its fun to run around as a cat and collect things. Im glad its short though, it could easily overstay its welcome. Overall as a game though, I liked it less than Stray. I will probably go back to it later this year after that update is released that was shown in the Indie World video a few weeks ago.
Nearing the end of Robocop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business, the standalone expansion for Rogue City. So far, it's been a LOT of fun, albeit very simple fun. This is much more of a retro shooter than Rogue City was, with an emphasis on corridor shooting with big guns and monster closets.

Did you finish this game or is it unfinished business? :D
I just learned that there is a physical version of the game through Fangamer (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/physical-games/products/little-kitty-big-city-game-nintendo-switch) so I deleted it from my wishlist and plan on picking that up next month.
Finished Stray just in time for the end of August.
Finished Stray just in time for the end of August. Thats now the third time I have played through it since it originally launched on PC. I love it. The Switch version obviously doesnt look as good as the Series X version, but on Switch 2, it runs great.
Besides the cute cat, I just really like the world design of the game. Its kind of post apocalyptic, but things look cool with neon lights in the city, or creepily lit underground sections, or gross infected parts you have to run through.
It has interesting characters too with all the robots you meet. Its a good story too. Overall great adventure of making your way to the outside of the bunker.
Yeah, I'd like to get back to Stray at some point. Got really frustrated trying to do a challenge on that first level where you try to complete it without getting hit, and ended up just putting the game on the backburner.
hat is one of the hardest trophies in the whole game.
As Mop it up mentioned that is a wrap on Backlaugust 2025. I am happy to report we surpassed last years total and ended up with a decent list of 30 games removed from our backlogs. That's about one game per day!
Congrats to broodwars for taking the lead spot with an impressive 8 games!
