How was your gaming year? (2019 edition)

[tnaires]

I was expecting someone would have created this post by now, but it seems no one did it yet so I decided to create it. Just like 2016, 2017 and 2018 versions, let's talk about how was our trophy hunting this year. Please check your stats and tell us:

 

• How was your bronze, silver, gold and platinum trophies progression this year?
• How much did your PSN level increase?
• What were the best and worst games you played in 2019 and why? (It doesn't need to have been released in 2019).

 

I'll start. I did a little better compared to 2018, although I'm still struggling to find some time to play. Here it goes:

 

 Bronze Trophies: from 1487 to 1602 (+115)
 Silver Trophies: from 455 to 546 (+91)
 Gold Trophies: from 151 to 177 (+26)
 Platinum Trophies: from 38 to 44 (+6)

PSN Level: from 17 to 18 (+1)

 

Best game I played

Dark Souls Remastered. Over the years, a lot of my friends have told me that I would love Dark Souls when I played it. After all these years I finally decided to give it a go, and I ended up playing a lot even after getting the platinum.

 

Worst game I played

The Crew 2. I always wanted to play this game, but when I finally did I ended up not enjoying it as much as I initially thought I would. Still a good game though.

 

How about you?

[damon8r351]

I think I played two different games this year, which were Final Fantasy XIV and No Man's Sky, that is if you don't count the 30 minutes of Final Fantasy XII:The Zodiac Age I tried to play.

[Helyx]

Glad someone made this thread. Using my numbers from last year:

 

8489 -> 9829 (+1340)

3215 -> 4274 (+1059)

1442 -> 2988 (+1546)

255 -> 429 (+174)

PSN Level 53 -> 75 (+22)

Total trophies 13,408 -> 17,520 (+4112)

 

Best Game - Doom

Honorable Mention - Torchlight 2, Dark Cloud, Last Jedi, Child of Light, Livelock, Transistor, Riddled Corpses, Magicka 2, Bulletstorm

 

Worst Game - Munchkin: Quacked Quest

Dishonorable Mention - Devious Dungeon 2, Warlock's Tower, Samael Legacy, Paraiso Island, Tower of Dragonasia, Hex Tunnel Touch

Here's my stats :

 

Backlog 56 games -> 97 games

 

Bring on 2020...

[timpurnat]

Best year so far:

 

 3999 -> 6116(+2117)

 2093 -> 3568(+1475)

 739 -> 2033(+1294)

 149 -> 324(+175)

Trophies overall: 6,980‬ -> 12041(+5061)

 

Games completed(including games without platinum): 221

 

Best games: Sekiro shadows die twice, Surgeon Simulator, Nioh, Riddled Corpses EX, Doom

 

Worst games: Claire Extended cut, InnerSpace, Nextgen Sandbox, Paraiso Island, Black Mirror, Kitten squad

[closertim]

Went from psn level 39 to 56. Probably over 3000 trophies.  Good enough for me

[ladynadiad]

 Bronze Trophies: from 2144 to 3052 (+908)
 Silver Trophies: from 810 to 1346 (+536)
 Gold Trophies: from 325 to 541 (+216)
 Platinum Trophies: from 64 to 111 (+47)

PSN Level:  From 22 to 28

 

Overall trophies gained: 1707

 

Best games: Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV (JP import), Ys Lacrimosa of Dana, Tokyo Xanadu eX+, Persona 5, Legend of the Tetrarchs, Monochrome Order, and lots more. 

Worst games: Gem Smashers, SwapQuest, Omega Quintet, Fill-a-Pix: Phil's Epic Adventure, The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2, htoL#NiQ - The Firefly Diary

 

Honestly probably my best year as far as sheer number of trophies.  I discovered Kemco RPGs and ended up getting the plat in nearly every one of their games because they were pretty fun and addictive.  Nearly everything I played this year was newly started, I only went back and finished off the games I didn't finish in 2018.  I'm very glad to be ending the year with no games started in 2019 left unfinished on PSN at least (Steam is another story entirely).

 Trophies: from 13 to 16 (+3)

PSN Level:  From 12 to 13 (+1)

 

(I'm also like 1 trophy away from the HZD plat)

 

This year has been really quiet for me, mainly due to being in the second year of my Uni course and the workload ramping up. I'm looking to get into my backlog of games before the influx of 2020 games.

 

Best Game: Horizon: Zero Dawn

Beautiful graphics, seamless gameplay, enthralling story. Up there now with my favourite games of all time.

 

Worst Game: Steep

Never really got into it. Only played for a couple days though so...

[B1rvine]

My 2019 included amazing games : Batman Arkham Knight, No Man's Sky, NieR Automata, Tricky Towers, Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil 7.

 

It also included some awful games : Rime, Need for Speed Rivals, DriveClub Bikes, I am Setsuna. 

 

I guess everything balances out.

[Infected Elite]

I don't keep track of bronze/silv/gold earned yearly. But overall last year i had 1547 trophies.. right now im sitting at 1514 trophies earned. Having to get 33 trophies in 3 days shouldn't be hard. Depends how busy i am. But i picked up Bioshock collection and aiming to just rush all 3. at least the first before years end and start the 2nd. Target is 50% trophies on each one. Though likely not getting to 3rd game before 2020. 

 

Platinum i didnt care about getting anything other than #100 this year which i achieved with Jedi Fallen Order.  As for 2020... too many games coming out. Just going back to playing for fun. Getting the odd trophies. May plat FF7 Remake if its not a pain.

 

 

EDIT: 

Dec31 to Current

Bronze: 7356 -> 8526 (+1170)

Silver: 2079 -> 2343 (+264)

Gold: 552 -> 622 (+70)

Plat: 88 -> 100 (+12)

 

Total: 10077 -> 11591 (+1514)

*target 1550*

 

one of my top 3 yrs of gaming. maybe top 2 if i get 33 trophies within the few days left. Top was 1763 in 2016.

You don't need to keep track.  Go to stats on your profile and look for December 31st 2018 and that will give the number of each type of trophy you had on that day.

[Phlegeth]

Bronze:  2221 to 2878

Silver:  497 to 701

Gold:  115 to 172

Plat:  25 to 33

Level:  17 to 20

 

Favs:  Tales of Xillia, Trails of Cold Steel I+II, Deemo Reborn

Tales of Xillia is a strong contender for beating Abyss as my favorite.  I knew about the Kiseki series, but never played them before a couple months ago and fell in love.  And Deemo is Deemo.

 

Least Fav:  Bladestorm: Nightmare

I'm going back to it, but I was expecting Dynasty Warriors gameplay.

 

Started off this year pretty strong.  Got at least a Plat a month through April.  Seven of the eight I got happened in the first four months.  This is also the year I tanked my completion by adding everything I had in my backlog to my list.

[Dokusha]

2019 has been one of my best gaming years ever, if not the best year. I had three resolutions: reach 10,000 trophies in total, reach 100 platinums, and play nothing but Japanese games or games that might as well have been Japanese. I’m happy to report all three of these resolutions have been successful! Below I’ll list the games I’ve actually completed this year, along with some brief thoughts on each of them:

 

- Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk (PS4, 56/58 trophies)

A wonderful dungeon crawler that is a worthier sequel to Nippon Ichi’s diamond in the rough The Witch and the Hundred Knight than the actual The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2. The Gothic little town of Refrain has a mysterious labyrinth underneath its foggy cobbled streets, and the Dusk Witch Dronya has come to explore it and uncover all of its secrets. I loved the story and presentation, and the dungeon exploration was very satisfying too.

 

- Yomawari: Midnight Shadows (PS4, 34/34 trophies)

Another Nippon Ichi gem, this is an excellent horror story with genuinely unnerving ghost designs. Not so much about jump scares as it is about building suspense and making you wonder what you’ll encounter next. Surprisingly emotionally poignant story too.

 

- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (Vita, 31/46 trophies)

I unironically join the side that believes MGS2 is a masterpiece. It’s downright eerie how accurate the predictions here ended up being for a game made in 2001.

 

- Kingdom Hearts III (PS4, 46/46 trophies)

My biggest disappointment this year. I adored the original and II as a child, but playing III as an adult, I found the writing juvenile, it felt like fanfic. Yes, the graphics were pretty and yes, combat played nicely, but overall this game – and especially that bloody ending! – severely damaged my affection for the Kingdom Hearts franchise. 

 

- Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal (PS4, 51/51 trophies)

Senran Kagura continues to be a delight with its surprisingly heartfelt storytelling and breezy musou action gameplay. I could’ve done with less of Yagyu’s ridiculously one-note personality, though.

 

- Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Book (PS4, 40/45 trophies)

Wonderfully cheery, my introduction to the Atelier franchise was a pleasant one indeed. No pressure, just live your life as a cute girl trying to become a master alchemist. Just like with Yagyu from Senran Kagura Burst, however, I was rather annoyed with Oskar here. Please, writers, stop it with the characters who only talk about a single topic. It’s beyond tedious.

 

Onimusha: Warlords (PS4, 52/56 trophies)

Definitely my biggest surprise of the year, this was an incredibly moreish game. Great gameplay, a good balance between combat, exploration and puzzle-solving, and whilst the plot was a bit basic, I was invested in it, nonetheless. More of this, please, Capcom!

 

- Fate/extella: The Umbral Star (PS4, 47/53 trophies)

I definitely understand why people felt the gameplay here was a bit on the repetitive side even for a musou/Warriors game, but I stayed thoroughly entertained thanks to a well-told story spanning multiple arcs.

 

- Resident Evil 0 (PS4, 31/48 trophies)

Honestly, I’m not sure whether I liked RE0 or not. Yes, the atmosphere is great, and general puzzle-solving and exploration felt lovely. The lack of an item box, as well as the overly bullet-spongey enemies, however, made especially the final few stretches an exasperating exercise in praying you have enough bullets left to take down these darn leeches.

 

- The Caligula Effect: Overdose (PS4, 37/37 trophies)

A rock-solid JRPG with an interesting premise, although the villain route is complete nonsense and the overall story quality sadly doesn’t live up to genre greats despite the involvement of the Persona 2 lead writer.

 

- Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (PS4, 38/38 trophies)

Whilst I still think I like 999 more, Virtue’s Last Reward is still a superlative visual novel and a wonderful example of how interactivity can improve storytelling rather than getting in its way.

 

- Death End Re;Quest (PS4, 39/39 trophies)

My game of the year. Compile Heart has come a long, long way in this decade, and Death End Re;Quest is without a doubt their best game to date. Visually pleasing, with a strong combat system and a breathtaking narrative featuring one of the most precious cinnamon rolls in gaming. I love you so much, Shina.

 

- The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince (PS4, 24/24 trophies)

Gorgeous art, lovely heartfelt little story, but 30 euros/dollars is a big ask for a game that won’t last you more than 4 hours.

 

- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (PS4, 31/31 trophies for all three PW games)

The best music in the trilogy, but in my (admittedly unpopular) opinion, the weakest story. Still, I’m delighted to see Phoenix Wright make his PlayStation debut.

 

- Muramasa Rebirth: Genroku Legends (Vita, 45/66 trophies)

My favourite Vanillaware game. Incredible art, tight swordfighting, and a great story. The DLC episodes were a cherry on top of this delicious cake.

 

- Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception (Vita, 44/44 trophies)

The Utawarerumono games deserve far more credit. Their stories are some of the best I’ve ever seen in any game ever, and Atlus USA’s localisation makes it a true joy to read. The SRPG combat sections may not be the most difficult, but they’re highly enjoyable, nonetheless.

 

- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All (PS4)

The franchise black sheep, I’ve always had a soft spot for Justice For All. The case Turnabout Big Top is a perfect encapsulation of what makes these games so loveable, with its mix of zany screwball comedy and serious courthouse drama.

 

- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials & Tribulations (PS4)

The way Trials & Tribulations’ cases seem disconnected at first but end up being more interconnected than in either of its predecessors will never cease to wow me.

 

- The Evil Within 2 (PS4, 45/52 trophies)

A rare case of a sequel to a linear game going open world without said open world actively getting in the way. The Evil Within 2 is a top-tier survival horror game, if you ask me. Great stuff.

 

- Secret of Mana (PS4, 32/38 trophies)

An enormous let-down. I just can’t get over the awful design decision to make you incapable of attacking more than once in a row without triggering a cooldown that makes all your attacks dramatically unlikely to hit. The story might have redeemed it, but it’s ho-hum and tedious. I simply think this one hasn’t aged well.

 

- Our World Is Ended (PS4, 40/40 trophies)

A surprisingly poignant science-fiction mystery visual novel about a group of deeply strange people banding together and being their best selves in the face of a dangerous conspiracy involving virtual reality. Definitely deserves more recognition in my opinion.

 

- London Detective Mysteria (Vita, 16/16 trophies)

My new favourite otome visual novel. Set in Victorian London, it’s thanks to its incredible localisation that it reads like a Victorian lady truly is narrating all of this. Great plot, great romances, great art, just great great great.

 

- Blue Reflection (PS4, 47/47 trophies)

Oh, how I wanted to love this. It’s a Persona-esque JRPG set at an all-girls’ school, but sadly the execution is dreadful here. It doesn’t know whether it wants to target a male or female audience, the soundtrack is a bizarre combination of orchestral and electronic wub-wub-wubbing, and one of its main characters is beyond insufferable yet the narrative pretends like she’s the most loveable of them all.

 

- Aragami: Nightfall (PS4, 52/52 trophies)

A great sneak-‘em-up where you play an aragami, a shadow spirit capable of using various magical powers involving shadows. Definitely give this one a try if you’re looking for a stealth game where you get to choose between being a sneaky assassin or an unseen merciful ghost.

 

- Judgement (PS4, 33/47 trophies)

Although it’s rougher around the edges than I’m used to seeing from the Yakuza team, Judgement is still a wonderful spin-off with a great protagonist, trademark blood-pumping action combat, and a variety of new detective minigames that mostly pan out okay. Tailing gets somewhat dull after the umpteenth time, but there’s enough variety here to keep you engaged until the very end.

 

- Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly (Vita, 34/34 trophies)

Another fantastic otome visual novel, sporting a delightfully Gothic tale of afterlife in an enormous mansion as its central cast – heroine and love interests alike – slowly come to terms with the events that led to their premature deaths. Is resurrection possible? Maybe…

 

- Period Cube: ~Shackles of Amadeus~ (Vita, 34/34 trophies)

Sadly, going from Psychedelica to Period Cube gave me whiplash, as the latter is quite possibly the worst otome VN I’ve ever played (although I’m not sure yet exactly how it compares to the infamous Amnesia: Memories). It has the unappealing premise of a stuck-in-an-MMO plot a la Sword Art Online from the perspective of a girl who has never even seen a video game in her entire life, let alone played one. With condescending dictionary entries explaining such high-concept ideas as “server” or “HP”, as well as truly godawful romances, I cannot in good conscience recommend this to anyone. At least Amnesia: Memories has so-bad-it’s-good appeal, Period Cube is just dull.

 

- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4, 36/45 trophies)

Another game I desperately wanted to love. Two things ultimately sapped my enjoyment here: dodgy voice acting (including one of the worst faux-British accents I’ve heard in years) and overly punishing contact damage. I died so many times just because I bumped into an enemy. Yes, yes, I know, git gud, but I simply wasn’t having fun any more towards the end.

 

- Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition (PS4, 36/54 trophies)

The mechanics and animations are clearly dated, but the art style has aged gracefully, and the story is top-notch. An A+-grade JRPG.

 

- The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II (PS4, 51/51 trophies

Speaking of A+-grade JRPGs, the sprawling Trails of Cold Steel series is a phenomenal achievement in worldbuilding and storytelling. This has officially become my longest-played individual game, and each and every one of the dozens upon dozens of hours I’ve spent with it was a delight.

 

- Catherine: Full Body (PS4, 46/56 trophies)

An elegant remake of an enjoyably bizarre game, I had a much better time with Full Body than I remember having with the original Catherine on PS3. Some of the new endings – I shan’t mention which ones specifically – soured me on the experience a little, but not enough to keep me from describing this as a great and creative game.

 

- A.I.: The Somnium Files (PS4, 45/45 trophies)

My runner-up game of the year. A phenomenal murder-mystery adventure game with humour and poignancy alike, wonderful and memorable characters, and a satisfying True Ending that wrapped up most loose ends in a satisfying way. I really hope this gets a sequel someday.

 

- Worldend Syndrome (PS4, 23/23 trophies)

With a great art style combining sharp character portraits and pastel animated backgrounds, a relaxing soundtrack, and a story that boasts one of the best and most satisfying conclusions I’ve seen in anything this year, Worldend Syndrome is an easy recommendation. If you’re even remotely interested in visual novels, please do yourself a favour and play this one.

 

- Fatal Twelve (PS4, 25/25 trophies)

Is it becoming obvious yet that my favourite genre is visual novels? Fatal Twelve started slow but gradually won me over with its tale of an unconventional death game: instead of a group being trapped and forced to kill each other, Fatal Twelve’s cast has already died, only they’re being given a shot at resurrection if they manage to eliminate every other participant of this fateful game. Although the heroine is a little stupider than I personally would’ve liked, it was still an incredibly compelling experience once the story got going.

 

- Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout (PS4, 49/49 trophies)

If Atelier Sophie introduced me to the world of Atelier, it was Atelier Ryza that made me fall in love with the series. Heartfelt, cheerful, small-scale, I had a smile on my face playing this lovely game.

 

- Spirit Hunter: NG (PS4, 26/26 trophies)

A great sequel to last year’s Death Mark, and a fantastic horror visual novel. Oozing with dread atmosphere and some delightfully creepy spirits to pursue, it’s just a shame that the developers appeared to have run out of funds about halfway through as the last two cases are bizarrely short when compared to the fantastic first three.

 

- Tales of Berseria (PS4, 34/51 trophies)

Such an incredibly good JRPG! Tales of Berseria tells a nuanced story where neither the protagonists nor the antagonists are truly good yet neither party is cartoonishly evil either. Also, it has my favourite Tales cast to date.

 

- WILL: A Wonderful World (PS4, 52/52 trophies)

Easily the grimmest game I’ve played this year thanks to its harsh subject matter: you play as a goddess of fate who receives pleas from humans and rearranges their fates by shuffling sentences in their stories around to change the outcome. It turns out that people don’t beseech a goddess of fate for intervention in trivial matters, however, so expect some truly heart-wrenching and difficult stories. If it wasn’t for the fact that the entire point is to change these situations, I might’ve called it quits prematurely because of how dark it gets.

 

Whew. My experiment with playing nothing but Japanese/Japanese-adjacent games made me realise that I simply don’t have any more desire to play Western games. I’ll embrace the fact that weebery is my comfort zone and turn this Year of the Weeb into Years of the Weeb. Many thanks to my lovely bestest friend and significant other @Larx for guiding me and helping me stay true to my resolutions!

@Serethyn - Your list is hitting me in my weak spot right now. After a few VN's that just didn't connect with me, Chaos;Child reminded me how good the genre can be and I've been seeking out quite a few since. What would be your highest rec on the list (already played the Ace Attorneys, Utawarerumono, and AI is in the backlog)? I am fine with otome if the story and characters are top notch.

 

As for my 2019, I finished fewer than 20 titles for the first time since 2010. I didn't play any less, just focused more on longer, higher priority games. My highlights are:

 

1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2

2. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

3. Assassin's Creed Odyssey

4. Chaos;Child

5. Tales of Berseria

6. Papers, Please

 

I earned 13 plats in 2019, and should earn the Muv Luv plat before the clock strikes midnight tomorrow for #14.

@Serethyn - Really appreciate you giving blurbs on all the games since some of the ones you finished are stuff in my backlog and some I wasn't too sure if they'd be something I'd like and your blurbs gave a better impression of the game.

Fatal Twelve, Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly, London Detective Mysteria, and Worldend Syndrome would be my highest recommendations on the list. Looking at your trophy list, I wonder, have you also considered Collar x Malice, The House in Fata Morgana, or Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony?

[Deluziion90]

  3700 -> 4,514 (+814)

  1625 -> 2,042 (+417)

  964 -> 1,348(+384)

   172 -> 225(+53)

 

Total trophies -> 1668+

 

Best Game - 

This game stole my heart(pun intended). Even though I'm not the biggest jrpg fan this game stole my life for almost 2 weeks of non stop playing. I can't wait for the Royal edition in 2020 because that's already pre-ordered for me  

 

Honorable Mentions

Days gone (great game but the DLC is one of the few I just skipped which killed my 100% flow)

Resident Evil 2 Remake - Probably everyone here knows about this game by name. I just loved the horror vibe. I remember playing it at night with my lights off and some things just scared the living hell out of me.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - I've got to admit this game cost me a controller and made me rage like never before. But after a week of just ignoring it and picking it back up something just clicked and everything went smooth towards my platinum. A platinum I'm very proud of to have.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled: I love Crash it's one of  the few games I used to play with my dad and all these remakes just brings me back to those days  

Death Stranding: Music, story, unique gameplay, Norman Reedus, Kojima, graphics. I can go on this game is a masterpiece in my eyes

 

Worst Game - 

The game has nice graphics but the story just made no sense to me and I really hated it. I've always tried to like kingdom hearts but it just isn't for me. I really fought through it to keep my 100% otherwise I would have probably quit way faster..

 

Dishonorable Mention - 

All ratalaika games. Though I keep buying these trash games just for the sake of some easy games and time waste when I've got nothing to do. (Atleast I'm honest )

Assassin's Creed Liberation Remasterd. Huge fan of the series but this game was just painful. Happy I rushed through it for the platinum.

Everybody's Gone To The Rapture: Walking simulators.. I just saw an easy platinum but god this game was boring..

Never thought this would ever happen, like ever, but it did, thankfully and gratefully. This is the best year so far. 

 

 Bronze Trophies: 731 -> 1,002 (+271)

 Silver Trophies: 268 -> 380 (+112)

 Gold Trophies: 57 -> 115 (+58)

 Platinum Trophies: 18 -> 30 (+12)

 

 (Total Trophies): 1,074 -> 1,527 (+453)

 

Best game: Life is Strange

This is also became my 1,500th trophy milestone. So glad I got to play this. Amazing gameplay and story, beautiful soundtracks and environment, characters, etc. This game got me invested and I'm proud of that, and because of that, I'll be going extra lengths with the franchise. The choices were tedious and affected the story moving forward. I had fun exploring the places in Arcadia Bay and I can't wait to do the same in the sequel. 

 

Worst game: Magrunner: Dark Pulse

I felt repentant about every minute and hour spent on this. Some missions were glitchy, such as playing all the acts on Hard. Stupid camera control, as well as the sensitivity. I couldn't wait to beat it and never touch it. This taught me a lesson to do some more research, deep research before acquiring. 

_______
 

So that was it. This year's just hours away from closing, not to mention the decade, too. One thing I for sure failed to do was get a PS4. Another year where Santa or some "Christmas Spirit" or "Christmas Miracle" didn't come through with my one wish. Wanted to pursue gaming, but I guess that's how it is... now I don't know what's next for me. Missing out on so many good games makes me wonder if they'll even be around in years to come when I get to endure alone. I lost a PSN friend because I don't have a PS4 and got mad at me because I told him I was getting one, but that all turned out to be a farce.

 

So lucky to have discovered this site and this is nothing more than a place where I seek solace. Met so many good people on here and I thank you all for being who you are. 

 

I doubt I'll perform any better in 2020, because I'll be occupied with so many life activities. Hopefully one day I will come back full time with new consoles and pick up where I left off (if that'll even be possible, lol).

 3,666 -> 4,294 (+628)

 1,238 -> 1,455 (+217)

 293 -> 350 (+57)

Total: 15,342 -> 17,899 (+2,557)

Trophy Level: 55 -> 63

 

Best game: Steins;Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram

This game might have released without any trophies whatsoever, but that didn't matter to me. To be able to finally play it after years of thinking it wouldn't be localized, I was not disappointed at all. There was only one subpar story, all the rest were very engaging and it was a joy to revisit that world.

 

Worst game: Metal Gear Rising

I had a very strong year this year overall in terms of game quality, so there were very few games that I would even list as bad, but Metal Gear Rising... Wasn't a fan at all. The 1v1 fights are alright, but once you start introducing more than that the camera becomes a nuisance, and some of the fights are just horribly designed (the lobby fight in R-04 and the Armstrong fight in the Sam DLC being standouts for absolute garbage design.) The menus weren't very intuitive, the stealth was terrible, and overall it was just a rather bad game. At first I was going to put Gran Turismo 5 here instead, but that game overall gave me slightly more enjoyment I'd say.

I'm not really keeping tracks, but here are some of my stats using PSNP:

Went from level 13 to 18

+29 Platinums

 

My best game of 2019: Days Gone. Super fun game, nice gameplay, planitum and 100% DLC. Huge shout to Bend Studio.

Honorable mention: Sekiro, Control and Death Stranding

 

Worst game of 2019: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Used a guide for the 100% because of sheer boredom. Awful game.
