My top 10 favourite games I played this year. I haven’t beaten as many games as in previous years, but I still played and caught up on a bunch of pretty awesome ones. So, I’m pretty happy with my 2025.

It's just a small thing, but I think it's dope that you can wear masks as adult Link now. Kid me, who loved using the masks, would be very happy right now. 😄

Happy OoT Remake day.

I haven't read a manga in a very long time, and since the OoT Remake is around the corner, I might as well read the OoT manga.

Had a little discussion about retro consoles, and now I'm curious: Which of these 4 consoles had the best library in your opinion? (Not counting backwards compatibility).

Finished Alone in the Dark 3. AitD games always had some obtuse puzzles that got me stuck, but I was basically glued to a guide while playing this game. The western setting was kinda cool, and it's neat that it felt a bit more spooky again. Story went totally bonkers tho. 😅

Finished Darkstalkers 3. It shines with some smooth and beautiful animations, responsive controls, and an amazing soundtrack. The new characters are pretty cool too. The cartoony violence is great, and I like that it doesn't take itself too serious.

Finished Alone In The Dark 2. Everything about this game is just weird and silly, and I love it. I liked the ghost pirate story, and I'm a big fan of the OST as well, although it's a bit too jolly sometimes. It just felt more focused on action than horror and atmosphere overall.

Finished Bulb Boy. Very short and bizarre little horror puzzle adventure with a few neat puzzles and a macabre yet kinda cute art style. It definitely has a quirky appeal to it, and a lot of gross humor, which will probably turn off some people.

My face when my alarm goes off tomorrow morning.

Finished My Big Sister. A pretty neat top-down adventure game with an interesting story about two sisters who try to break a curse. I like the art style and the quirky dynamic between the sisters. It’s kinda silly at times, but surprisingly touching and serious as well.

Finished Alone in the Dark (1992). It has some of the clunkiest controls I've ever experienced, but it kinda redeemed itself by letting me save/load anywhere I wanted. It definitely has charm to it tho, and I have to give it credit for paving the way for so many horror games.

I'll be going way back in time to the year 1992 today and play the grandfather of horror games, Alone in the Dark. Probably going to be rough when it comes to the controls, but I still hope i can beat it. 😅

Finished MediEvil 2. I just love the MediEvil games. I love the humor, the whole gothic style and the orchestral music. It all fits together so well. The controls are pretty finicky though, and I didn't like the boxing boss fight. The idea is nice but it was just frustrating.

Finished Doom 3. I honestly dig the slower, more intense sci-fi horror atmosphere Doom 3 has. There is still a ton of action and shooting, but you definitely don't feel like an unstoppable force like in Doom 1 and Doom 2. The visuals are great too, especially Hell looks awesome!
