I want to play my PS2 and GOG backlog games. I've said that for 4 years straight. Probably won't happen, but whatever.

Finished February 2016: I played it in a few sittings. It honestly didn't leave much of an impression on me. The relationship never felt believable or worth investing in. The art was pretty.
Finished March 2016: I played this for 115 hours and was tempted to start new game+ immediately after finishing my first run. Great game. The mechanics felt good. The systems are quirky enough to be interesting. The story is incredibly ambitious and weird. Great overall experience.
Finished March 2016: It fell apart near the end. Otherwise an interesting narrative.
Finished April 2016: After 80+ hours, I'm ready to put this down. Super addictive. I might pick it back up when enough mods come out to extend the content.
Finished April 2016: A neat little 8 hour Saints Row experience. Had I expected a full sequel I would have been disappointed.
Finished May 2016: Did not expect this to take 60 hours to complete. A spiritual successor to the Syndicate games. Very challenging but rewarding game. Great ending to a game.
Finished August 2016. I must have played this off and on for over a year on the PSP. I was really impressed by this game when it came out 20 years ago. I am happy I finally got to finish it. I mostly followed a guide to ensure I got the 108 recruitable characters. Looking forward to Suikoden II, which is supposed to be much better.
Finished October 2016. I have no idea how this took me 145 hours to complete. It felt like 20 hours was spent organizing my inventory alone. I really liked most aspects of the game. The overall narrative was unique and the combat was challenging. I think I would have preferred a shorter, more focused experience. Some of the maps were too large and there were one too many random puzzles to progress.
Finished November 2016. I really enjoyed everything about Nier because it felt like a completely unfinished game. The story, battle system, and flow felt like rough sketches of a much larger, more ambitious game. I played through the three times to get the full story.
Finished December 2016. I have such a love/hate relationship with the Yakuza series. As an open world game they're not that fun, but as a melodramatic linear story game they're really quite good. This one was particularly melodramatic with the orphanage family drama at its center. I avoided most side stories and mini games (Haruka's trust level was an F and completion total was only 12.43%) but I enjoyed my 30 hours with the game.
