nate38's top 31 games played in 2020!
(that'd be all of them)
Games released in 2020 have ***Asterisks
Nintendo system games are in Red31. ***The Supper -- A few points and clicks and this goopy little horror story is over. Not much to say.
30. Cosmic Star Heroine -- Played on Hard mode until I got stopped by an annoying fight about an hour in. Then I accidentally quit and there's no auto-save, so I lost all my progress. It was worth a shot for a buck fifty I guess.
29. Ethereal -- Played until I got bored, which was about 30 minutes.
28. Pikuniku -- I'm sure it gets better after the 30 minutes I played, but it's taking too long to get going.
27. Far From Noise -- Just an hour of chatting with a deer about life and nature and junk.
26. ***Super Mario Bros. 35 -- Played five games, won three of them. There doesn't seem to be all that much to it, sadly. Or if there is, it's taking too long to unlock...
25. Golf Peaks -- Finished the first four worlds in about 30 minutes. Not a bad little puzzle game.
24. Quadrilateral Cowboy -- Finished the game. Liked it for what it was, but I was expecting more of its hacking heists.
23. Mega Man Zero 3 -- Beat the game on Normal. Tops its predecessors, but still has their same fundamental flaws.
22. Mega Man Zero 4 -- Beat the game on Normal. Tops its predecessors, but still has their same fundamental flaws.
21. Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX -- Beat the game, got all the thingies, beat the boss rush.
20. Side Words -- Clever word/puzzle game, seems like it would be a fun time-waster for your phone.
19. ***Signs of the Sojourner -- Finished one run, mostly going circle and triangle. Dabbling in diamond didn't go well.
18. Micro Mages -- Played through the game on Normal (just the first loop or whatever). Very good for something that could be squeezed onto a launch NES cart.
17. ***Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics -- Tried out most of the games. Found a few new games I'd like to play in real life, or at least in less restrictive virtual formats...
16. ***Fall Guys -- Played for a few hours with a friend. Would have had a crown if I'd known you need to hold the grab button when you touch it...
15. Minit -- 76% completion. I dunno, just a solid little game with an okay gimmick.
14. ***Murder By Numbers -- Finished all puzzles. Okay story, I guess, but the Picross is definitely the main attraction.
13. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince -- Beat the game in online coop. It's yet more Trine, which is still goofy fun.
12. Wild Guns -- Finished the game with liberal use of Switch-SNES's Rewind feature. I can see why it's a cult classic.
11. ***Wide Ocean Big Jacket -- A cute little story about camping.
10. Baba Is You -- Played until I got stumped in like, ten different levels. Fun mind-bending puzzles, and I'll probably come back to it periodically.
9. A Short Hike -- Got a lot of items, fetched a lot of quests. Fun and relaxing little game.
8. ***Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the Necrodancer featuring The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Mask -- Finished the new story mode. Has one very clever dungeon and just enough new additions to feel worthwhile.
7. Killer Queen Black -- Played online with friends for a handful of hours. I can see why it's a cult hit in arcades.
6. Devil May Cry V -- Finished the game on Devil Hunter (normal) difficulty. Fun and stylish, but a bit repetitive and one-note. Probably the best DMC game?
5. Pyre -- Went undefeated, started a non-violent coup, stayed in the Downside with Jodariel, Pamitha, and Bertrude.
4. ***Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 -- Finished Episodes 1, 2, EX, Final, and Final again as solo Zangetsu. Just more solid NEStlevania knockoff goodness.
3. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana -- 100%-ish. No idea how its simplistic combat stays fun for so long, but it does.
2. Dicey Dungeons -- Beat all six episodes for all six characters, plus the final episode. Very clever from start to finish. (And I've got some extra-tough extra stuff left to do.)
1. ***Hades -- The most holistic roguelike ever made? I could probably keep right on playing for another hundred hours.
