Been sitting on this one for a few months. Started playing again and finished in a couple days. Overall, it's a bit of a slog. It gets better as the game progresses and you get better at telling trico what to do. Even then, most of the game is spent struggling with the controls and waiting for trico to slowly go to where you need it to go.

The story isn't very involved, but it's a nice narrative. It works as a video game because a lot of it is you building a relationship with trico through your actions.

First half of the game I'd give a 6/10, second half I'd say 7/10.

This one has been a long time in the making. Mainly avoided it because of how stressful and long the episodes were. But it's all done now. House Forrester is in ruins due to my actions, but season 2 is nowhere to be seen so I don't mind!

I had a sudden urge to play The Last Guardian. I had only played about an hour of it when I got it last year but I ended up finishing the rest in 2 days. Really fun game that's only flaws are controls and camera angles.

This also marks my 21st beaten game which is the most since 2011.

Also unsure how I forgot this but I completed A Boy and his Blob at the same time I beat it so I just added that in as well as I forgot to originally.

Finished the main story mode of fire emblem warriors. It was a good ride. Totally throwaway plot, but fun to work through and see all the fire emblem tropes and characters collide. I suspect the meat of the game will be found in history mode.

I think I'll be able to fit in one more game before the year is done!

[The Shoemaker]

Well, that's it for 2017! I was hoping to fit one more game in but didn't have the time. Overall, very successful year with 28 games beaten and 8 games completed.

It didn't beat last year's total, but was still my second highest. My completed games was my highest yet, which is impressive considering it includes games like breath of the wild and odyssey. In general this year included a lot of long games.

I also managed to finish up the majority of my backlog, and complete almost every title I bought, so I'm happy with that. It was a really good year for games, excited to see how this year goes.
