Games Played Report: December 2017
Post date: Dec 31, 2017 5:32:04 PM
I did it! I played a unique game every single day in 2017. It was really exciting to dig into my collection of games, but truth be told, I'm glad it's over. I started feeling really worried that I would miss a day after making so much progress. I'm not planning to do the same thing next year -- instead I'm going to enjoy an obligation-free year of video game playing!
For previous months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November
Here are some thoughts from this month:
- I got Vib-Ribbon for Christmas the year it came out, and it's still as fresh now as it was back then.
- If only I had more time, I would dive so deep into the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's really amazing.
- Guardian Force is a really clever, unique vertical shooter. Kind of a more complex cousin of Trax.
- Floor Kids has so much charm, especially for those of us who grew up at the height of the 80s breakdancing craze.
- Child of Eden doesn't get anywhere near the love it should -- yes, it's not Rez, but it's a great follow-up all the same.
- The animals were so confused to see me after such a long time when I visited Animal Crossing: City Folk.
- Lost in Shadow has a really neat premise.
- Rotozoa has so much amazing style and awesome music.
- Thanks to Game Freak for basically making Mr. Raroo: The Game with Tembo the Badass Elephant!
- Mom Hid My Game! made me laugh aloud when I played it.
- Sonic R doesn't have great controls, but that music is so delightful.
- Playing Deathsmiles II X on Christmas was the perfect way to start the holiday.
- Super Mario Bros. 2 never quite grabbed me back in the day, and it hasn't done so now, either.
- Nobody seems to really like PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, but it's quite good. I love the mash-up stages!
