Need for Speed: Undercover (PC, 2008)

Years ago, I picked up Need for Speed: Undercover for my Wii. At the time, I haven't played any of the previous entries in the series, but I knew NFS had a good track record up to that point. After the first mission, I never progressed in the story anymore; there were just too many games I wanted to play instead. Every once in a while, I would insert the disc into my Wii, do a few races, and drive around the city, but I really don't remember doing much else. Because of that, I decided to put the game in my backlog so I could finally finish it. So, find your car keys (they're between the couch cushions), and let me tell you about this game!

Adventure Story (PC, 2019)

When I got my GPD XD+ last year, one of the goals I set for myself was to start completing games. There are still a lot of games I started playing without ever finishing them. Alongside my spreadsheet to keep track of my lengthy backlog, I started using HowLongToBeat. I used the site in the past, but only to see how long a game was. One day I clicked on the forum tab out of curiosity and noticed the blog section. At the time there were probably around seven different blogs; all made for the purpose of reviewing the games in that user's backlog. One I would read a lot was a blog by someone named letstalkaboutdune. I'm not really sure what about it caught my eye (maybe the name?), but his blog was a big inspiration for me to start mine. I even ripped him off in a lot of ways. Just put one of my reviews next to his and you'll see the resemblance. Especially with the older ones... Anyway, I found out that he made a game demo and thought why not review it?

Ys II Chronicles (PSP, 2009)

At long last, I finally beat Ys II! The review of the first game was written last April (I switched blogs), and I intended to write the review for Ys II not long after. But here we are in February of 2021. Looking through my old posts, I originally started the game around the time I posted the Monument Valley: Forgotten Shores review. Because many things have happened in my life since May, I stopped playing and didn't pick it up again until November. Even though I didn't get far the first time, I restarted the game to remember everything.

My Top 10 Games I Played in 2020

Now that 2020 has come to a close, I want to look back on the games I played throughout the year. I set a goal to complete at least 20 games for the year, and I achieved it with 23. 18 of them have been reviewed on this blog, so this list will be of those games, instead of including the other 5. I plan on replaying four of those games to write reviews for them, while one is the SUPERHOT Prototype I talked about in the review of the full game. For games I played with expansions, I'll only choose one of the games within them. Anyway, let's get started with...

Mountain Crime: Requital (PC, 2011)

Rating: 4/10
In 2018 I found out how to (legally) get free Steam games. Either from a site where you have to do a few things to get the game's key or just a game that's free on Steam for a limited time. Mountain Crime: Requital was one of those games I got for free and I actually didn't play it until now. Now that I think about it, I don't think I played any of the free games I have. I... might be a hoarder...

SUPERHOT (PC, 2016)

Rating: 8/10

IT'S THE MOST INNOVATIVE SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS

Dadish (Android, 2020)

Rating: 9/10

How many unplanned game reviews have I done now? Well, I guess this is yet another one. I was talking to a friend a few months ago and they told me about Dadish, so I gave it a shot and liked it.
