What have I finished in the last two years? Uh, not all that much, I mostly play games that are pretty much endless like Mario Maker 2 and such...
But I do think it would be nice to update it. I'm sure I will forget some (expect another post?), but here's what I know I've beaten in the last few years.
Today:
Super Mario Bros. 1 (NES) - I was going to write this here but made a new thread instead.
Earlier this year:
Diablo IV (Xbox Series X) - One of my most played games of the year, I finished the main story in Diablo IV and mostly quite enjoyed it. I haven't been back for a little while but definitely will return to this game to do more with it, it's very good.
A Dinosaur's Tale (Sega Genesis) - I played through this platformer at some point I believe it was earlier this year, and finished it. It's decently fun stuff, nothing amazing but entertaining.
Picross e3, Picross e4, and Picross e5 (3DS eshop) - I've finished these three Picross games. There isn't much left on the 3DS; other than the rest of e6, which I have started, all that's left is some of e8, since I put off finishing it. Other than that there is also the Hello Kitty one to play, I only started that one. And there's the Pokemon one, though since I didn't buy the DLC I don't know if I actually can legitimately play through the whole thing, I doubt it; it was a mobile-styled game which you had to put money in to to play, basically. Super annoying stuff. I know there are Switch Picross games, but they do not appeal anywhere remotely near as much due to the controls. Reactive touch is dramatically better for this kind of game.
Link-A-Pix Color (3DS eshop) - I finished the last puzzle in this pretty fun 3DS esphop game yesterday. It's too bad it's over. This also has Switch followups, but due to controls it'd be less fun there.
Wordherd (3DS eshop) - This is another 3DS puzzler, this time a word game. I played this game enough over a year or two period (mostly last year and earlier) to complete it twice, first on Normal and then a second time on Hard. I would NOT recommend you do that though, because this games' dictionary is so badly lacking! I can't even count how many times I lost not because I made any mistake, but because the only words that could keep my game going aren't in the over-small dictionary. What a pain. The concept's good though, it's a bit Boggle-like. Good stuff.
G.G Series ASSAULT BUSTER (DSiWare on 3DS eshop) - This is one of a series of small games in the G.G Series, that were launched late in the DSiWare shop's life. This is a decently fun action-ish game, though the very low budget definitely shows, it's pretty repetitive. Each stage is a single screen, and you control a scifi anime girl character with a jetpack who can zip around the screen, or walk on the ground, to shoot the various robots and such coming at you. It's simple but works. I played through this sometime earlier this year, after buying it close to the 3DS eshop shutdown.
Super Mario Wonder - As I said in my review, I bought this game on release day in November and finished it later that month. It's pretty good.
There are probably a few more.
