Is "finished" self-defined? I rarely reach the end victory credits of even games I love. Played Morrowind heaps of hours across many characters and years, but I only know the final boss and ending from watching speedruns.

And if it is permitted, I'd toxx for Sekiro by the end of Autumn. My hands will be softened by months of cozying up in Animal Crossing and Sekiro has already been collecting dust since the first weeks after launch. I am stuck at the very last boss, thoroughly cleared everything else in the game, I was making progress, could reliably get through the first phase handily after a while but one night I got closer than ever but totally panicked and flubbed it on the newest phase and then suddenly regressed and struggled with the first phase all over again. I have it sitting there, in it's original un-updated form just waiting for me to bring honor to my family.

If that's pushing it, then toxx me for Bayonetta by EoY. Bought it a long time ago, not even on sale I don't think, and somehow never even installed it.

That's a good point and where I live it's basically either Summer or 30 degree Summer. September 1 seems like the True Autumn to me, that's when you first see a pumpkin.

I beat Sekiro, very unsatisfyingly. Turns out waiting a year between plays didn't somehow season me into an expert upon my return. First several fights I just died because didn't remember the basic controls, like attack or parry lol. I wound up defeating Isshin in the dumbest way, chugged all my potions, used all my little gizmos juice and mostly just ran the hell around trying to dodge stuff because I couldn't remember any of the special tricks to deal with the special "red symbol" attacks. There were a couple you could do a mario-jump on his head and I think I accidentally reversed one by mashing buttons frantically, but it felt like just a battle of attrition.

Last time I played I played much, much better than this... but I also kept losing so go figure. Never got the hand of the lightning attack reflect, even at launch, and I think I only beat him this time because I got very lucky and he only did the unavoidable lightning thing twice and I managed to survive them both.

It had also been so long that even though I got the best ending, I don't remember my motivations or anything so the tiny cutscene was a little ??? for me.

hope it's not too late, but please play Outer Wilds, the only perfect videogame.

Not trying to kinkshame P4G but just ask yourself, would you watch a 2 hour slice of life anime set in highschool about several very uninteresting characters, and would you still do that if they forced you to actually watch it the whole time while also requiring you to fiddle with a controller for the privilege? If yes, then maybe you'd enjoy doing that for dozens of more hours plus grinding menu based combat.

There's actually a lot of good games in that list, but P4G is a specific drug and you already know if youve got that blood type

I've tried three times now since being reminded to play Bayonetta and I just think it's not for me. Last two times I tried they made me itchy to play other games, like Nier or more Yakuza. It's not a bad game, and the combat is about the same button mashing I did in Kiwami, but I don't like being tested on combat I keep forgetting the special tricks to and I've also lost the plot. I'm like a time witch fighting angel jerks and I buy upgrades from Blade and sometimes I wander around and discover a level?

I'll give it some more shots b/c sometimes it takes a while to get into a groove or find the gem but I think I might just better appreciate the style and flair of this game when I'm not holding the troller
