A Year of Games in Review - 2019

Once again continuing the tradition started a couple years back, below is my full list of games played in 2019.

Well it certainly appears that the Switch had an effect on my game playing. Having a handheld with a cornucopia of titles to play meant I played a lot more games this year. I’ll be back soon with a list of my favourites of and played in 2019.

I look forward to seeing everyone else’s lists and what you have all been up to this year.

Happy New Year!

Merry Chrismas everyone, this year I finished the highest number of games since I am on Grouvee but the backlog is still growing, thanks to egs.

I’m looking forward to 2020 playing more old games and wish everyone a happy new year!

So I only finished 5 games this year it looks like:

  • Hollow Knight
  • Resident Evil (REMake on PS4)
  • Final Fantasy VI (III on my SNES Classic)
  • The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening
  • Bastion

That’s actually more games than last year. I’ve definitely played more than this, but I either start games that are just way too long for me to ever finish (Dragon Quest XI), or games don’t grab me well enough to finish. I have started playing SaGa Scarlet Grace on the Switch, and I’m really digging it. Once again, it might be too long for me to finish, but I’m having fun with it.

Also, Picross S. I will play that game the rest of my life probably.

I saw this last year, and as someone with a huge backlog decided I will use this to help me get through games for the year! 67 Games so far, I did quite well.

During March - May Satisfactory EA came out and I became a lot less productive haha.

Heaven’s Vault

Like Alphadoriest, it’s probably easier to just put up a link to my Grouvee Challenge page.

I will say that since I’ve been participating in these threads, this was my best year yet with 37 titles finished compared to 26 last year and 35 the year before. Having both the challenge and access to shorter games certainly helped out in this cause. Here’s hoping that 202 sees this number increase… provided the backlog and game subscription services don’t drown me out first :grin:
