Mega Man 2 done now. This one had a lot of visual upgrades from the original, killer sound track too. The final Wily levels were pretty long, a good challenge. Also finished up Picross mode in Picross e6. Can still go back for Micross and Mega Picross if I so desire.

I got these two gunvolt games when they came out but I never really got into playing them much until about yesterday, and now they are done! Azure Striker was really good, great action with interesting level design. It was a bit short, but I went through some of the challenges and enjoyed them. Honestly I would be motivated to play more if the challenges just weren't so tough. Would take more investment than I'm willing to give despite really liking the mechanics.

Mega Man 3 done now. Not quite as good as Mega Man 2, music didn't hit the same high. I liked the addition of the slide though.

Finished up the main mode of LittleBigPlanet 3. It was alright, I'd say the weakest of the three/four games despite adding a lot of new gameplay mechanics. Overall not enough platforming and too much talking.

Kirby Robobot was pretty good, had some great level design and an epic final sequence. Big improvement from Triple Deluxe. Might even try to 100% the game, currently at 75%.

I beat Gone Home (PS4) the other day. Quite a nice game. It's one of those games where you can sit down and spend an evening exploring and conclude your adventure in one sitting. Nice tight package, and the narrative unfolds quite naturally. Highly recommended, especially since it's free on PS+ right now.

I need to find one more journal entry for completion, and then there are a couple of speed-run trophies that I may or may not try to get.

Oh damn, I forgot to grab the freebies! Better fix that before I forget again.

Man I am on a roll this month. Me and my girlfriend have been working on Epic Mickey for the past two years and finally beat it the other night. I also beat InFamous Second Son today. It's definitely the best entry, has a lot of options for powers and mobility and has a nice tight story. It felt a little samey, run around and collect blast shards, do mini missions, stop crime. But again, the new powers and tight story kept it fresh. I may try and do an evil run and platinum the game.

So I beat 3 games recently.

Grow Home was alright nothing special and the controls were bleh I won't be picking up Grow Up when it's released as I think the 3-4 hours I spent on it was plenty enough considering how funky the controls were.

Unravel I'm hoping to Platinum this game I found it very entertaining and the yarn mechanic is really cool and all but the last few levels had this wonderful peaceful vibe that I loved.

Gone Home wow I wasn't expecting the story to be that good but it was. I tried to get the 1 minute trophy but failed and now I've realized I can't reload my old file which I got 21 diary entries. Oh well. I'm glad I didn't mistakenly come across the speed runner way during my playthrough. Gameplay wise it was very boring.

Finished up Second Son and made it a platinum. Solid 8.5/10 game. Also finished Mega Man 4!

Gone Home wow I wasn't expecting the story to be that good but it was. I tried to get the 1 minute trophy but failed and now I've realized I can't reload my old file which I got 21 diary entries. Oh well. I'm glad I didn't mistakenly come across the speed runner way during my playthrough. Gameplay wise it was very boring.

I'll be trying this one out next so that's good to hear!
