Going from newest to oldest, had a blast getting these! All 100% btw.

Finished this on stream tonight. Such a fun game, been the 1st time in a long time that I enjoyed a racing game like this.

Got stuck at the very end because I didn't realise I could click on the icon I THOUGHT was for the character variant scenes and find an entire extra menu of them. I WAS MISSING EXACTLY ***1*** FOR OVER TWO HOURS. I am dumb.

And so I complete another step in my Assassin’s Creed journey. This was an amazing experience that was worth the time. This felt like an amazing return to form for the series. Baghdad was an amazing landscape for the setting, I especially loved how they had little historical facts scattered around as a collectible. The gear was interesting as you could adapt them to however you chose to use stealth. Finally, the story was captivating as you watch the story of Basim and how he got to where he was in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Definitely recommend, and can’t wait to see what they do next after AC Shadows.

And here we are with another amazing Lovecraft inspired game. While mostly just a short collect-o-thon walking simulation with a few puzzles, it was an amazing cinematic first person experience. The story and character are interesting, the some trophies are fun and cheeky references, and it is compelling as you watch the story of Norah as she learns what happened to her husband and his expedition party. Short and easy platinum that is definitely worth the play.

I decided to to this one bc it was the easiest, I raged a lot while playing this and probably won’t be going to play the other unless I get their physical copies ;)

An unexpected title from Capcom that seemed to be forgotten only to be revived years later debuting as a masterfully crafted game in its core gameplay and character driven story that will tug at your heartstrings. I wasn't aware of Pragmata prior to its announcement trailer last year after being stuck in development hell for over five years and was immediately hooked by Diana and how she would interact with the protagonist along with the gameplay which seemed intriguing. I am heavily drawn towards emotionally driven games through the main character looking after a child as if they were their own and this game fully delivered and more than exceeding all expectations through combat, exploration, visuals, and characters.

The main drive of the story lies with Hugh & Diana as they navigate through the Cradle station on the moon uncovering what happened to everybody and what they can do to get back to Earth. The game's story largely takes a backseat as the story is mostly driven through the interactions between our main characters and how their relationship evolves through continuous conversation and interaction developing a close bond. It is truly heartwarming being at the helm of this game as you are able to experience their relationship grow into a father-daughter dynamic that pushes the themes of the game further with clashing themes of isolation from the environment to genuine connection and wonderment through Diana. She is the heart and soul of the game and as you play you are further compelled to reach your goals and advance as far as you can risking everything as if she was actually your own which invokes the human condition encompassing universal emotion and experience especially through the eyes of Diana who sees everything for the first time.

The gameplay loop is perfectly crafted in how you are able to unlock and upgrade weapons and abilities for both Hugh & Diana and stands out as not being clunky with so many elements placed together through movement and gunplay, but work in tandem to create a unique high tension methodical shooter with hacking being your main tool to victory. It's been a long time since I've played a game that had every collectible have a different purpose that didn't lose its value over time and instill itself as vital throughout the whole game. Simply talking to Diana is always worth the time as you are able to gain more insight into how she perceives the situation at hand and a joy to teach her the various things humans do and what sort of plans she has for >!when she eventually goes to Earth!<. As a sci-fi third-person-shooter, you are able to build out your loadout however you want with a ton of customization options through weapons, mods, and various features to change gameplay from enhancing hacking or focusing on defense allowing options for all types of gameplay styles. The game is gorgeous with each area breathing new life with the highly realistic graphics that also hold their own identity with the facilities and moon backdrops being visually stunning no matter how many times you see it. The enemy variety is also quite plentiful and mixed through upgraded versions and scenarios with how much the game throws at you at times it never felt truly overwhelming given how many options you have available.

For achievements, the game was fairly simple in its requirements through typical completion such as collecting all the upgrades, exploring everything, and completing the various trials in the game such as the training simulations. Extra modes include the Unknown Signal which involve more training simulations that only require basic completion rather than requirements within them with the rest being mostly story-based or simple tasks throughout the game. The game requires one extra playthrough on Lunatic mode where enemies have more health and deal more damage, but do not change in their numbers which helps to manage scenarios.

Overall, I had an amazing time playing through Pragmata. While the story is on the simpler side, this doesn't factor into my enjoyment of games as the heart and soul of Hugh & Diana's relationship pushing the narrative forward alongside a mechanically perfect and satisfying gameplay loop combine together into one of the most fun experiences I've had playing a game. It's simply fun all the way through with the combat never growing old and only growing more complex as you play, and the interactions between Hugh & Diana help bring their bond to life as it shines through in the most human way possible. I cannot recommend this game enough for those who are looking for a mechanically perfect game alongside a story that will deeply immerse you through the heartwarming and emotional bond between two characters. The definition of a "dad simulator" that will stay with you for a long time reminding us what it means to be human in every sense of the word, as we can learn how to better connect with those around us and live life to the fullest. A true GOTY 2026 contender.

Every event in the 2048 Campaign at Elite Pass… this one hits different. This includes all regular races, Arena, Combat, Eliminator, Zone, Tournament, and Prototype Ship Challenges; This Trophy continues to be the purest blend of speed, style and stress.

Nice to add this one to the collection!
