So the end of the year means, here I am trying to consolidate shit into some kind of organisation, for whom exactly? Anyone really.
Woo, what an odd year for gaming it was for me. I've spent a lot of time playing stuff on my PS3, which has been a lot of fun.
I do have a very definite game of the year though.
So let's start with that then hey, just to get it out of the way.
Here we go, the post the absolutely no-one looks for, my yearly wrap up toys and toys of the year.
It's been a pretty low amount again, but more than last year, but then again the quality has been generally pretty high.
Here is the link to last year's one, which also has the link to all the previous years as well.
Let's go.
I spent way more than I was supposed to this year... which is both a good and a bad thing on balance! Makes for a fun blog post at least. Mine will be jam packed with lots of goodies, especially some unmissable games. Well, I guess we can't say they're unmissable, since poor old Tets missed a bunch of them.

Just for the record, here is the individual dudes:
Finally, it is time to finish this awesome little team with a group shot of monsters/robots and a combined batch of
Eeeeeeeevvvviiiiiiillllllll!
Back in my list of games for 2022, I listed Sonic Frontiers as my game of the year, and I stand by that. I really did enjoy it. It was not perfect, but the gameplay was fun, the story made sense and the characters acted like you would expect them too. Plus Knuckles wasn't portrayed as a dumbarse.
However in typical SEGA fashion, it was obvious that the game was rushed and things didn't quite seem finished. Ignoring the technical issues like pop-in and the weird juxtaposition of cartoon characters and real world looking er, world, it was very bad at explaining mechanics and gameplay bits n pieces.
However after a year, we have the "Final Horizon" update for it, which really makes things fit together well.
At all.
I have 4 main complaints where I think the game manages to mess up:
Beware spoilers (for the DLC)
Released today, of all days (August 22, 2023), I managed to bag one of these bad boys and made a nice, terrible video, to join all the other terrible videos on youtube.
Please watch my terrible video.
