![]() Janky as hell, but still dumb fun regardless. Bright Memory (XSX ): Beat this on Steam previously, but copped this just to guarantee myself an XB copy of Bright Memory Infinite when it launches.The Metal Slug games seemed to get progressively worse as the series wore on, and this one was just kind of slipshod IMO. ACA NEOGEO Metal Slug 5 (XSX): Wasn't a huge fan of this.Might just be the worst fighting game I've ever played in my life, a terrible Dead or Alive with Mortal Kombat style "canned animation" dial a combos. Girl Fight (XSX): While loading up on 360 games, bought this for cheap in a moment of weakness.The characters are pretty fun, but it ends before it really has a chance to get going. Snowed In (Steam): Pretty mediocre yuri visual novel.For some reason, I always kick things off with Final Fight! Final Fight (XSX): Going through another run over the Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle in 2021, this time on Xbox.Call of the Sea (XSX): Intriguing premise for a first person adventure, lots of promising buildup, but ends on a wet fart and doesnt really amount to much.Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown (XSX): It was so good to play proper Virtua Fighter again! I thought Dead or Alive had me covered in terms of the same "speedy/fluid 3d fighter" feel, but nothing compares to the original.Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard (Steam): Charmingly inoffensive adventure game, just like the first one.If anybody can recommend more titles like this (which aren't Sky Force games), recs are welcome! Anger Force Reloaded (Steam): A really great shmup in the vein of Sky Force Anniversary (the kind where you can grind to unlock upgrades, getting more powerful over time). I need more match three so badly, Puzzle Quest 3 when? Bejeweled 3 (XSX): Another achievement rerun.Peggle 2 (XSX ): Ran through this old favorite again for achievements (beat this on PS4 before).Looks phenomenal and runs well a little short for the price though, I'd have been disappointed if I bought it retail instead of through XGP. Gears 5 Hivebusters (XSX ): First real "AAA" game I played on the Series X.Had a blast, ended up buying UFC4 as a result. UFC 3 (XSX): I avoided this game upon release because of the predatory Ultimate Team stuff, but as it turns out all that shit is tucked into a side mode you can easily ignore.The Xbox ended up getting a ton of run - this January list is awash with green. January is in the books! I tend to start off each year with a bunch of shorter games to get some momentum going, but this year I ended up doing it over the course of an entire month, lol.
