Backlog Update: Games Finished (April 24, 2015)

Welp. It's been a while. The question of what I've finished lately is hard to answer. My list took a backseat to random whimsy, I guess. First, the bad behavior: I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and I bought Axiom Verge. The good news? I fucking finished Axiom Verge and it was fantastic. I'm still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.

Welp. It's been a while. The question of what I've finished lately is hard to answer. My list took a backseat to random whimsy, I guess.

First, the bad behavior: I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and I bought Axiom Verge.

The good news? I fucking finished Axiom Verge and it was fantastic.

I'm still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. I've gotten farther in this version than I ever got in the Wii version, and I consider this version to be satisfying the one in my backlog.

Oh, and I probably forgot to mention that I also bought Final Fantasy Type-0 HD (with FFXV demo). Ugh, I'm bad.

I also played a number of other things, though, so I don't want to beat myself up too badly!

First off, I played a few random games to completion, not the least of which were Hotline Miami and Sine Mora on my PS Vita. I'm happy to have played them, though I don't feel the need to get perfect completions or trophies on them.

I'm almost done with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker! Actually, I have a feeling I played the hell out of this game. It feels like I've dumped a good eight to ten hours into it. I've unlocked almost every level at this point and done a lot of the full completion stuff (as I usually would with a Mario game). I'm surprised at the amount of content because the major complaint I heard was that it didn't have enough but, frankly, I think the game is stuffed to the brim.

If I look at my list, it seems I've not completed that many games. I've been playing games like Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros Wii U/3DS, and so forth as well. Plus, I've been playing the PS Plus games I've gotten regularly (though this month was very weak).

The question, to me, is what to play next. I consider Xenoblade a work in progress, and I'm really playing Captain Toad to completion, though I could drop it at any point.

My next games, by the list, are Child of Light and Far Cry 4. So I guess I'll be jumping on them ASAP.

OH. And I forgot to mention that I poured a bunch of time into two gems: Resogun, which has had some massive DLC that's majorly improved the game; And the Toukiden demo, which I was surprisingly entertained by. That may be a future purchase. Distant future.
