Next game completed for this event. Zeno Clash 2 is nothing spectacular but runs well. It's a 3D action game with melee attacks mostly. I'm not 100% sure what the story is about since i haven't played the original game and at least the many characters that appear again like the protagonist aren't introduced at all. I think the two main persons want to run away from their hometown.

 

The only problem i had or have with this game is that i play it on pc using PS NOW and it lags alot. I can play only short sessions around 30 mins before it becomes unbeareable. I'll still have a couple of hours finishing sidequests and finding collectibles but that doesn't matter for this event

First Three Down

Arcade, Rhythm or Puzzle - Expand!
In Game Weather Effect - Seasons After Fall!
Title Screen has Purple on It - MonsterBag!

I went with Seasons after Fall due to the ability to change the seasons, and therefore the weather.

Monsterbag has purple on the title screen via a hung bag near the door.

Finished my first game of the year, Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS5.  I know, I'm late to the party - turns out it's a really good game! 

 

I think it'd qualify for about half the squares on my bingo card, but it's such a massive game that I went for 'That "Everyone" But You Has Played'.

 

Also started Manifold Garden thinking it would be a much quicker game to beat, but I soon learned that the gravity shifts give me vertigo.  Guess I'll try playing it in short sessions to build up my sea legs.

Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight. Will be playing Gal*Gun for the "Banned in a Country" tile. Had a slow start to the year. Hope to pick it up soon.

No. 3 is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for ‘redeemed from ps plus’. I’m currently playing It Takes Two with my partner and it was fun to see so many of the mechanics in this first game, especially since Brothers is a single player game. I’m also happy that this challenge finally got me to play this great game

Finally got my first box done with Oxenfree, needed 2 and a half playthroughs to do the different choices for the plat. Didn't know much about it before playing apart from it being an easy TellTale sort of game but it was well worth the 99p I paid in the recent sale.

 

[Copanele 18,436]

Did some progress as well with 2 entries:

 

 

Recommended by a PSNP Member - Curse of the Dead Gods: This one is an izometric Roguelike, it was recommended to me by @DrBloodmoney. He nailed it, I loved this game  

Underplayer(Owned by <1000 members) - Treasures of the Aegean(EU VERSION): This game has a grand total of 5 game owners (me being the 2nd with a platinum). Definitely under 1000 owners, but it sure doesn't deserve that status.

...you forgot to add... "Plus, I get to stick it to him, by having platinumed it now, while he's still languishing at 90%" 😂😂

[stuthesheep 751]

 

Another box checked off with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

 

Wasn't entirely sure which category to mark off with this, but gone for "No Jump Button" just to get it out of the way, one of the few I was struggling to get something suitable for.

 

It was a bit of a culture shock after sinking what must have been close to 100 total hours on Origins, complete with the somewhat ridiculous climbing and parkour possibilities, to playing a game where the character couldn't just simply vault over the smallest of rocks in her way. I guess jumping wasn't high on the Picts' list of skills.

 

 

 

Completed so far:

Spoiler

I1 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 26/1

O3 - Assassin's Creed Origins 12/1

B4 - Kitten Squad 20/1

G5 - The Forgotten City 3/1 (109 players at time of completion)

Second update time I completed Astros Playroom for square B2: Platform Exclusive.

For a free packing with the PS5 to showcase the DualSense’s features it’s a better game than it has any right to be and definitely worth a play.  

 

[Han_the_Dragon 2,110]

Well, another game completed with Voice of Cards..

 

I had decided to use it has my "That Gives Me The Feels" game, since I was expecting an "Experience" game, like Déraciné, but that wasn't really the case..

 

That said, I'm keeping it for this theme because this game gave me the same vibe as Nier, with it's music and "strange plot".. I actually was expecting some generic short tale, but after all, the story has some funny and dark twists, being the first one the fact that the Demo actually works like a Prologue to the game and introduces the "wrong" protagonists 😆 

 

All in all, it's a fun game plot that doesn't take itself to serious until the last Chapter, but has a really basic and limited battle mechanics that make the battles feel repetitive (even when playing the full game just upgrading gear with what we get from Treasure chests and random events, that makes things a bit more challenging, but not really all that hard at all..).

 

 

Completed Games List:

• B1 - Nightmares From the Deep 3: Davy Jones
• B2 - Light Fairytale Episode 2
• N1 - Nightmares From the Deep 2: The Siren's Call
• N4 - Voice of Cards
• G5 - Nightmares From the Deep: The Cursed Heart
• O2 - Murdered: Soul Suspect PS4

 

Next up, I'm not sure.. I may play Re:Zero or One Punch Man, and while I took out Ys IX from my board from now, that doesn't mean that I will not put it back in.. I also marked Re:Zero as a potential game for JRPGs (since the trophy page lists it as an RPG, I thought it was a Visual Novel..), but I will likely end up using it for something else, like Release the inner Weeb or Purple game..

 

[Evil_Joker88 3,001]

Next game completed. One that i was meant to take on for a while (N5): Venetica is an action RPG which i played a long time ago on pc but decided to get it for my ps3 collection. I bought it over a year ago but only started it last month. It was quite fun to run through a medieval type Venice with magic powers including walking around the Twilight World which is a step towards the World of the Dead. Thankfully i read through the trophy guide to be aware of a couple of glitches that may occure and how to prevent them as best as possbile. First playthrough finished as an honorable person who fights for love and justice and being famous among the citizens of Venice

 

[Chris1-1sirhC 78]

O1 - Jurassic World Evolution 2

Another box filled...

...with the fantastic The Artful Escape!

 

I wasn't sure whether to use this one for "Last Game You Aquired" (as it was!), and I thought about using it to cover "Originally Released in 2022"... but it turns out it came out on the Xbox first, at the tail end of last year... so in the end, I'm using it for "With Minigames in It"!

Along side the general platforming as the primary mechanic, the game is filled with Simon-style rhythm mini-games, as the lead character jams in concert with his electric guitar, alongside various cosmic, inter dimensional beings!

 

A psychedelic extravaganza of a game - short, easy, but with so much awesome visuals and music, and a story so odd and funny and weird, you are liable to forget there isn't any challenge there!

 

 

[Yen-Pop 461]

Well, my eyes are very dumb, and I misread an 07 as an 01, so instead of using The Procession to Calvary for my birth month entry (bummer), it'll be my entry for O3 Anti-Hero or Bad Guy! Because anyone whose sole purpose is "I can kill this one person? Mission accepted!" they're definitely not a good person, to say the least. Especially depending on what ending you go for first. I cannot recommend it more - if you threw a Sierra game, Monty Python, Renaissance Art, classical music, and dark religious humor in a video game blender, ya' get this absolute gem.

Kind of late to the party, but looking forward to another challenge on here.

Edited January 29, 2022 by IXander9

[DrBloodmoney 25,255]

 

Another box filled - this time with Moons of Madness.

 

Decided to use this one for the "For Another PSNP Event", as it is also an entry for my list, over on @Rebourne07's Platinum Difficulty Challenge (for my 3/10 difficulty game).

 

Also - unfortunately - this is first entry on my card that I wouldn't recommend at all - all round, a bit of a whiff here.

 

It's a space-based horror game with some mld puzzle elements, but the story is pretty rote, the movement very stilted and plodding, and the dialogue and voice work is mediocre at best, and often downright bad. 

It's got some aspects that are interesting, but really, everything in the game is done much better in elsewhere (notably in Dead Space, Returnal, and particularly in SOMA.)

 

Really, what we have here is a horror without much horror, a story without much story, a lot of silliness, and a bunch of uninteresting, uninspired "twists" that don't so much wow the player, as confuse them (in the best examples) or elicit eye-rolls (in the worst.)

 

Best avoided, I'm afraid.

 

 

[Copanele 18,436]

Another one down - Shadowman Remastered

 

 

Main Character has no facial hair - Shadow Man Remastered. Truth be told, The Shadowman has NO hair at all, so that game more than fulfills the spot  

[KunoGuy 223]

 

 

(FIRST BINGO!) Not quite...

 

Update #3: Played a few more games on the backlog. Felt really good about beating Spiral Splatter on Vita. On PS4 I hear it is easier, but if you have ever played it on Vita it is no joke. Just finally made some headway and was able to get it finished. Also finsihed Lego Marvel's Avengers on Vita as well. I still have a few more options of Lego games on Vita to still play, but slowly playing through them. Still trying to figure out what my player's choice square should be and wanting to add some bigger games to the board, so we will see where that goes.

Sorry but you @KunoGuy can't use Abzu for this event. The trophy for completing the adventure was unlocked long before this event started, that's against Rule #2 in the spoiler tag FAQ.

 

Abzu is a great game though, happy to see you played it again

 

Question to @Squirlruler. What do you say about games with a combined trophy list. I finished Amnesia The Dark Descent which is included in the Amnesia Collection two days ago and it has its own trophies for completion. It shares a trophylist with two other Amnesia games though. Do they count all on their own?

My bad, I thought it was for completing the trophies to 100%. Which I finished recently. So I'll edit it out when I have time. Thanks.

 

Could some of you give me some recommendations from games I've played to finish? Any takers?

Edited January 31, 2022 by KunoGuy

[Hurricane_Tanya 979]

@KunoGuy I recommend Tearaway Unfolded from your list, it’s quite short, but very fun. Or Gravity Rush

[Bl4ckb1rd92 593]

Bingo - Top Row - 30JAN

 

13 more squares to go, plus platting and 100% all the games.  I'm debating adding the green and blue tags for all of them, but I think it would get a little too busy if I did it for all of them if it was all on the same day.  ACIII, AC: Liberation, and Nexomon took up the last three blocks over the past two weeks.  This challenge definitely reawakened my love of just completing a story and moving on, I rally need to slow down and clean up these games before I continue.

 

Spoiler

1. Adventure - Day of the Tentacle  Swapped it out with another game that I was considering to get it in line with the challenge.
2. One Word Title - Nexomon  I swear these Fakemon look better than some of the new pokemon.  Really enjoyed this one.
3. Award-Winning - Assassin's Creed II  Last second switcharoo.  Good memories and a great time replaying it.
4. That You Can Beat In One Sitting - Dungeon Escape  If I can knock out a game in one sitting, I've bought it and played it immediately; it was probably for the dopamine.  Going to need a new one for this.
5. With A Female Protagonist - Assassin's Creed: Liberation  Aveline was such a wonderful protagonist, and the twist at the end was expected, but well-written.
6. Released In Your Birth Month - Ancestors  December games are just AWFUL to track down.  Everything was March-August before I found this one.
7. That You Meant to Play Last Year - Infamous: Second Son  I was going to play it after First Light, but, yeah, life happens.
8. Reboot or Spiritual Successor - Gauntlet  Any game my grandfather calls old is old.
9. With Gorgeous Vistas - Assassin's Creed III  I absolutely loved running through the trees and forests.  This game really nailed the concept of "America the beautiful".
10. Banned In A Country (Indonesia) - Far Cry 3  This one felt like a little bit of a chore, but I'm ready to get back to it.  The story wasn't too bad and I enjoyed the exploration.
11. Spawned an Expanded Universe - Prince of Persia  Is it the original?  No.  Is it the game that spawned that abhorrent movie?  Yes.
12. Cult Favorite  - Legend of Dragoon doesn't have any trophies, but if it somehow gets some while this challenge is ongoing, my decision is going to change.  Anywho, asked a friend for a cult classic game and his immediate response was MediEvil.  If it's not a cult classic, let me know and feel free to give me some suggestions.
13. FREE SPACE - Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood  Changed because I can't follow a plan that doesn't involve my job.
14. No Jump Button - American Fugitive  Pretty dry and pretty repetitive.  Not the most fun, but it keeps the attention for the most part.
15. Releasing Your Inner Weeb - SAO: Lost Song  I think I got this gist of this challenge.
16. In A Series New to You - Resident Evil  Found out Silent Hill is a physical copy only game.  So, changing it.  Haven't played any of these, yet, either.  Figured I'd start with the first one, pretty sure I saw it on the store so I'll get around to it.
17. That "Everyone" But You Has Played - Minecraft  Digital LEGOs with zombies, dragons, and food.  Looking forward to it...
18. Oldest In Your Backlog - Naruto: UNS4  First game I ever popped into my PS4.  Technically, I have 7 physical Vita games that have been on my backlog for MUCH longer, going back to through my first AIT and deployment, but since I synced them without realizing how missing timestamps and internet connections worked, I'm probably never going to finish them, making this the lucky guy that gets picked.
19. Free to Play - Tera  Trying to get a couple buddies to jump in with me on this one.
20. That Takes "Forever" to Beat - Super Meat Boy  No introductions needed, right?
21. Arcade, Rhythm, or Puzzle - Crypto by POWGI  This one seems like a nice relax after work kind of game.
22. Crafting Mechanics - Assassin's Creed: Revelations  This game was "the bomb"....  because that's what you craft...
23. Aliens or Robots - Ty 2  There's robots, mechs, and I believe a UFO.  If it needs more of a slap in the face, suggestions are welcome.
24. By an Independent Developer - Zenith  Great game, can't remember why I stopped playing.  Looking forward to actually finishing this story.
25. Featuring a Romance or Romance Options - Bound by Flame  Every time I hit this game up I get distracted by something else.
