alright here it goes
Celeste
celeste was pretty easy to 100%. the gameplay and difficulty balancing is really good, but i didnt really like the collectathon parts of the game. so glad you dont need golden strawberries for 100%.
Everhood
one of my first major grinds for one good reason,
the goddamn incinerator. really proud of this grind. everhood was really good and some fights were really fun to grind, my favorite being Reconciliation and Frog's Wrath. i kinda wish there wasnt a way to cheese most fights by doing them on the 2nd easiest diff to completely decimate their health, and the Universe fight cheese on its last section. the 150 000 jumprolls ach was really pointless though but whatever.
amazing game to grind if you completely disregard the incinerator's existence. never EVER wish the pain and suffering of the incinerator grind upon someone.
im still salty about how much they fumbled the sequel.
Deep Rock Galactic
one of my favorite games ever. most of the grinding here isnt even hard, mostly just playing the game. the fact you need 500+ hours in the game to get the gold promos for every character ach is definitely a sign this isnt meant for completionists, but hey im a big fan of the game so of course i got it lol. the annoying achievements here were Car Pool, which is a multiplayer ach and everyone knows multiplayer achs are awful, and 100 solo missions...
in a co-op game.
anyways this game is awesome go play it, rock and stone.
Thumper
yeah i already talked about this banger of a game before. im still calling it "metalheart if it was a videogame" and nobody will stop me. im a huge fan of the sound design and visual direction, i want more cool aggressive abstract things like this. the S rank grinding in this game is mostly (and thankfully) short trial and error sections in levels. ive checked out the modding scene and uhh yeah that is an entirely different beast lmao. they do not fuck around with their mods at all lol.
also Thrasher, the spiritual sequel of this game with the same guy working on the visual direction, is gonna be released on pc soon and im pretty stoked for its release.
A Hat In Time - Death Wish
year and a half long grind aughhh. i dont have the nyakuza dlc yet so ill 100% the game after i get it.
this was a trip alright. some DWs were good and some were agonizing. the bosses here are easily the best out of the bunch though, even if they can be insanely infuriating. the music from this dlc is really good and im glad they put
some thought in the difficulty balancing. this one requires a lot of commitment to clear. its both good and bad and you do need to look up guides for some of them.
snatcher ez modo reference is still utterly insane to me lmao.
Half-Life 2
this is when they combined episodes 1 and 2 into the main game like a year ago.
this game didnt even feel like a grind because it was insanely funny. the playthrough consisted of the main game, ep 1 and ep 2,
but the main game was modded. the modded main game playthrough is one of the funniest playthroughs ive done because 1. it was insanely chaotic 2. a friend whos a huge half-life fan watched me play the entire game including eps 3. the collection/modpack was assembled by that friend and i had no idea what to expect during my playthrough, which made the playthrough a whole lot funnier.
you mostly need guides for achievements here so dont expect anything too crazy. some were gimmicky and fun, some were annoying and yeah there isnt much to it. good and fun game, do a modded playthrough with a friend and youve got yourself a memorable experience.
Picayune Dreams
im really glad this game doesnt overstay its welcome as a survivors-like, both for casuals and completionists. the music is good, the game is good, the visuals are good and yeah theres nothing much to it. i do kinda wish that there were a bit more achs for looping and infected picayune.
Awaria
dude vanripper needs to make more bullet hells cause holy shit this game was insanely good. literally everything in this game is good: music, sound design, character design (Striga's design goes hard af), gameplay, difficulty balancing, art and visuals etc. just go play it its free and its a banger.
thats most of the stuff from steam. ongoing grinds rn are: jsab hardcore S ranks, hotline miami games 100%, furi 100%, nuclear throne 100%, stray savior 100%, void rains 100% and a fnaf fangame maxmode.
onto 2 roblox clears now.
Far From Land S.O.S
insanely good fnaf fangame. the number one thing i care about in fnaf fangames is the gameplay and this game has really good gameplay (with no camera mechanics :DDD). grinding was pretty fun too and the difficulty balancing was really good. heavy recommend if you like fnaf fangames even if you dont plan on going for S.O.S
Strange Place - Lunatic King
one of my favorite games on roblox.
god i wish it had better creators and a better history :(
this is one of the best boss rush games you can find on roblox. the nier inspirations are obvious and im a huge fan of 3d bullet hells. this game gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas for projects that hopefully will exist in the future. the music choices, visuals, gameplay and difficulty balancing is really good. heavy recommend if you wanna find a good boss rush game. i really do wish i could see this game in a positive light though
honorary mentions:
- Doors - Super Hard Mode: never subject a poor soul to attempt this rng mess lmao. i was able to clear this on the very last day before it got pulled after 2 weeks of grinding lol
- sitting through the entirety of Homestuck for a year: im not kidding this shit took me a whole year to read. i put this here as a joke but felt like it kinda fits lol
thats all of mine for now. ill post other things i complete in this thread from now on
