Games I Finished in 2021, pt 2

by beard_of_zeus

I don't understand how I keep finishing more than 100 games per year, but sure.

Showing 1-9 of 9 items

Doom 3

1. Doom 3

Have finally played this after all these years. Now I understand the claim of "monster closets" in this game, it happens like a thousand times. It's...an okay game.

Metroid Dread

2. Metroid Dread

Good one of these games!

Unpacking

3. Unpacking

This game really captures the experience that it is aiming for - very evocative of the moving process. Really pleasant game, enjoyed it quite a bit.

Call of the Sea

4. Call of the Sea

Not a bad little adventure game, I did like the narrative turn it takes around halfway through.

Sea of Solitude

5. Sea of Solitude

I resonated fairly well with what this game was trying to convey. Has a nice art style, and enjoyed the platforming, exploring, and boating.

6. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

I don't know if it was my low expectations, or this game not being on my radar, but I picked it up cheap over Black Friday and really, really enjoyed it! I don't have that much love for Marvel stuff, the MCU, etc., but these characters are fun on their own (and I had at least seen the 2 films). The writing is really great (and there's a lot of it, everyone is constantly talking!) and I found parts of the narrative surprisingly affecting.

Very Very Valet

7. Very Very Valet

This is an okay, silly little party game sort of in the Overcooked! vein, but involves valet-ing cars around. Not as much cooperation needed in this game though.

The Medium

8. The Medium

The "two worlds at once" concept in this is intriguing on paper, but I felt like the game never does enough with it. I found this game boring a lot of the time, I just felt like I was going through the motions of playing it.

Dodgeball Academia

9. Dodgeball Academia

I quite enjoyed this one! The characters are enjoyable, the writing is very funny, and the dodgeball mechanics had enough depth to support an entire game. I was expecting the gameplay to be a little simple, but the game is actually quite challenging at times, and the RPG-lite mechanics add an additional layer that is appreciated.
