A way for me to keep track of the games I played in 2020. "Notable" means whatever I want it to mean.

Koji Igarashi made a new Castlevania and it's pretty damn good. One of the best things about Bloodstained is how much it channels Symphony of the Night's esoteric weird stuff and expands upon it a reasonable manner. Finished 1/2. Probably won't go back and try to get full 100% completion, but I was tempted.
Continuing the hottest resolution of 2019 with a video game that tricks me into exercising.
My obligatory Resident Evil 3 playthrough before I play through the new Resident Evil 3 sure does reconfirm basically everything I've ever said about Resident Evil 3. Nemesis is in it. It's not very long, and just sort of throws ammo at you willy-nilly. Fine/10 Started and Finished on 1/4, because it's the kind of game I still remember enough of to easily complete in a single sitting. Go me.
I continue to play one of my favorite games of last year. Surprise! I wrote those blogs, you should read them.
Finally got around to the two DLC missions for Hitman 2, and they are both very good. This game continues to be very good. I should play more of it.
Oh haha whoops accidentally started playing Monster Hunter now that the Iceborne expansion is out and maybe I'll never play a video game again.
A twitchy twitch shooter that manages to distinguish itself through striking and varied aesthetics. Finished 2/8
I figured it should finally be time to finish at least one of these big old CRPGs I keep claiming to love but then drop 30 hours in.
Dino Crisis is Resident Evil with Dinosaurs, which is a very strong thing conceptually. Alas, while it definitely has some ideas to distinguish itself, it also has some of the dullest environments and most obnoxious puzzle design of any game in this style that I've seen. Finished 2/13
Dino Crisis 2, on the other hand, is a batshit crazy action game that somehow manages to be the missing link between the old-school Resident Evil games and Resident Evil 4. It's like if The Mercenaries was an entire game (no, not that bad 3DS one) and also was still vaguely about solving puzzles and collecting items. It's a pretty serious upgrade. Finished 2/15
