I consider games without a story mode "completed" after I reach the credits. I don't beat many games but I try to get better about dropping habits. Games I mass logged for january 1, 2016 are games I have no idea when I beat. Some of them may have came out later than that date, that is what I like to call comedic effect.

A mediocre Mario Kart game, but still a really good kart racer. The karts control super nicely, drifting is fun, but when it comes to cosmetics the game is seriously lacking, with only about eight unique level themings (three from Sonic), it starts to feel quite repetitive to go through a world cup. It's not bad, a good first attempt, but as the theme song says, it's gotta be "so much more than this", and it just needs to try again for that.
Okay so like I got no.2 on the hungarian 2024 week 19 leaderboards after playing for only one day since like 8 years ago, does that count as beating the game? Anyways it sucks lol, it's designed in a nasty way that takes advantage of short attention spans and locks you in a feedback loop of hundreds of mini achievements you can achieve under one run, gets you addicted slowly and manipulates you into spending money on it, while also pushing ads in your face and rewarding you insanely heavily for watching them. Yes I just unironically wrote a review about Subway Surfers...
This game sucks and that's incredible. There is so much bad here that alone could warrant a 1/10 score for a lesser game, but here I genuinely just adore the whole package, and those familiar with Yoko Taro's other games know full well that the bad design is just part of the experience. It's repetitive, maps suck, some of the music makes me want to burn my ears and it repeatedly overstays it's welcome, but proceeding through it just nets you with a sense of satisfaction I have hardly experienced elsewhere. You might love it or hate it but I would definitely say it's worth at least a try from any gamer who enjoys character actions and j-media in general.
