26. Beat a game with revenge as a central theme

Doki Doki Literature Club


- Third game of the day! I meant to finish it quite some time ago, but didn't get around to it. Load it up, and like West of Loathing, was a lot closer to the very end than I had realized. Loaded in, Monika was deleted, and the endgame scenes happened until final deletion. First got onto Doki Doki from watching a Twitch streamer narrating it as it happened, and now want to watch her stuff again.

10. Beat a game made by a director/composer/artist/etc that you like

Battle Chasers: Nightwar


- Summer sale purchase for two reasons: fun RPG with fishing minigame & Joe Madrueira. I grew up in the 90s, and I was into comics at exactly the time Joey Mad was drawing Uncanny X-Men. I still remember his drawings super fondly. I love his cartoonishly exaggerated slightly Anime-ish bodies especially with the advent of digital coloring and the bright flashy colors of the X-Men, and just remember lots of his things as some of my definitive X-Men looks. I still wish there was more short hair Storm with the two long white bangs and her purple uniform. I want more Joseph and Rogue and Gambit. He made noseless Wolverine actually cool kind of.

But about the game, it was a lot of fun. There's a cool amount of strategy in combat and who you bring to fights, and plenty of puzzles in dungeons and out that actually require pen and paper to keep track of which is fun. The rewards for doing sidestuff are excellent, and the characters have a great camaraderie. Also, fishing is so much fun. I didn't need to do it, but I spent too much time fishing instead of advancing the plot which is a problem I have (as seen with Dragon Quest XI with forging and bestiary and equipment book). I'm glad I've put it off for a few months or else I'd still be running around collecting everything when the end came rather quickly.

I will say this as a mark against it. End of game spoilers: As difficult as the final boss wanted to be if I weren't max level with way too many perk points, I was disappointed with the final dungeon literally being a long hallway, a boss battle, end credits, and a future game tease with the real final boss I was expecting to fight right after.

Maybe I got spoiled by
DQXI SPOILERS Mordegon's gauntlet.

Four games down, one day, six spots left to fill.
