Cybernator
Cybernator
suck at it but it's fun
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Trigger
really satisfying and rich-feeling but it lacks a bit of friction to give me that hypnotic JRPG binge urge. those games need to make me a bit mad so i get excited to learn them
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VI
beautiful and interesting but the combat made me so bored. i already don't enjoy this early incarnation of ATB combat but here you gotta drudge through that + character skills that triviallize everything
Gun Metal
Gun Metal
it's dumb fun but it's really obsessed with it's own structure

Hedon Bloodrite
i love this so goddamn much. it's bigger and more ambitious than even Hedon 1 but it's so HUGE and hard that i dropped it at least for a while
Hands of Necromancy

some cool ideas in here but the maps are way too big and unremarkable considering this game is structured similarly to an OG doom/heretic wad

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1
fun and absolutely stupid but my friend said i should play disgaea first. got a few hours into it

Air Combat
Air Combat
makes me snooze
Sunset Overdrive
Sunset Overdrive
played the game's demo all the way back in 2013 and then in 2021 got halfway through it cuz i remember it being fun. it's kinda unremarkable but still worth playing through a bit

Pathologic
played most of the bachelor's campaign - about 8 days. dropped it cuz i got on a trip and when i got back i didn't remember what i had to do so i fucked up a bunch of time-sensitive quests

Planetarian HD
really like the art but the protagonist is annoying as hell. i get why he was written like that but his rejection is so formulaic
Wonderful Everyday: Down the Rabbit-Hole
Wonderful Everyday: Down the Rabbit-Hole
got near the end of chapter 3 but damn this is a long journey
Flowers: Le Volume sur Printemps
Flowers: Le Volume sur Printemps
played a couple hours. cute and beautiful but surprisingly buggy for a visual novel. it crashes!!!!!! what?!!?!?
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss
played a bit back when i had an Origin Access subscription (now called EA Play, dunno if it includes the Ultima games). it was how i discovered the Ultima series and first got interested in it. really wanna finish one of those some day

played for an hour or so. surprisingly not that difficult to figure out considering it's genre and age!
MDK
MDK
played about half of the first level. it's awesome
Heretic II
Heretic II
played more than half of it, though it was with an old group of friends who don't have that much free time anymore. it was hard as hell to set up LAN coop with the abandonware copy. i love this game to bits! it's like a proto Star Wars Jedi Knight/Academy game but with my beloved heretic setting.
Hexen: Beyond Heretic
Hexen: Beyond Heretic
i knew Hexen 1 had a bunch of features that most other Id-Tech 1 games lacked so, while playing with GZDoom (my mistake), i assumed the game had a built-in crouch and soft locked myself inside of a hole somewhere in the first hub. i was a few hours in! i did not properly divide saves between slots bc i was dumb! should've just idclipped out
