Player | Game | Version Played | Status | Grade (A-U) | Personal Rating | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kitt | A Bird Story | PC | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Tiny little non-verbal story, definitely has a charm, definitely a bit flat. |
Kitt | A New Beginning | PC | Complete | C- | Pass | Painful writing, painful gameplay |
Addm | A Short Hike | PC | Complete | B | Great | sweet little romp. Perfect to fill out an afternoon. Didn't overstay its welcome, offered more to those that want it |
Kitt | A Short Hike | Switch | Complete | B- | Hazy | Fine, relaxing little game, suffers from internetty writing |
Kitt | A Story About My Uncle | PC | Complete | B | Great | Nice, short, archadey spider-man swinger |
Kitt | Aaero | PC | Complete | B- | Great | Good rhythm game, shame the shooting is so unreliable and misleading |
Kitt | ABZU | PC | Complete | A | Great | |
Kitt | Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth | DS | Complete | B | Great | Pretty good, I miss the court though |
Addm | Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising | PC | Abandoned | B- | Great | |
Kitt | Age of Empires II | PC | Shelved | |||
Kitt | Always Sometimes Monsters | PC | Complete | B | Hazy | A dark little experience. Mundane, but feels like there's real life evil at play |
Kitt | Amnesia: The Dark Descent | PC | Complete | B | Pass | Solid horror game I guess, but that's not my genre |
Addm | Animal Crossing: New Horizons | Switch | Complete | B | Great | |
Kitt | Animal Crossing: New Horizons | Switch | Abandoned | C | Pass | Pandering to fake-infinite customisation was always going to be a success, but this isn't Animal Crossing. |
Addm | Animal Crossing: New Leaf | 3DS | Complete | B | Great | |
Kitt | Animal Crossing: New Leaf | 3DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Would consider this the last Animal Crossing game that's not completely distracted by trying to be the Sims or something. |
Kitt | Antichamber | PC | Abandoned | B | Love & Hate | |
Kitt | Aperture Desk Job | PC | Complete | C- | Hazy | Literally just controller testing software but it's got an Aperture short story crammed in |
Kitt | Aperture Hand Lab | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Tech demo, but a pretty good one that always entertains. Could have done more. |
Kitt | Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney | 3DS remaster | Complete | A- | Great | Silly, serious, funny, scary, cute, high tension, low tension, grandiose, and tiny, all without ever breaking tone. Brilliant. |
Kitt | Aragami | PC | Abandoned | B+ | Hazy | Pretty solid stealth, mechanically a bit too simple. Needs developing. As I understand, the sequel removes shadow jumping? |
Addm | Axiom Verge | Switch | Shelved | Got bored | ||
Addm | BABA IS YOU | Switch | Abandoned | C+ | Hazy | I think I'm just stupid |
Kitt | Banjo-Kazooie | N64 | Complete | B | Great | Really fun variety for what should be a boring concept. Not seen a collectathon done better since. |
Kitt | Bastion | PC | Complete | A | Great | Loads of scope, and got a really solid sense of style. |
Addm | BattleBlock Theatre | PC | Abandoned | C | Pass | |
Addm | Bioshock | PS4 | Abandoned | C | Pass | I was expecting something a lot more special |
Addm | Black & White 2 | PC | Complete | C+ | Love & Hate | |
Kitt | Black Mesa | PC | Complete | A+ | Great | Lacks that iconic Half-Life feel, but boy is this a better game. New music really tonedeaf and attention-grabbing, mod the original OST back in. |
Kitt | Blasphemous | Switch | Shelved | |||
Addm | Borderlands 2 | PC | Abandoned | D+ | Pass | |
Kitt | Bowser's Fury | Switch | 100% | B+ | Great | I love this thing, want more open world Mario like this, fantastic atmosphere too, Bowser thing gets tedious towards end |
Kitt | BoxBoy! | 3DS | Abandoned | C | Pass | |
Kitt | Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Deceptively simple, but this game's up there with Tetris regarding how 'for everyone' it is |
Addm | Castle Crashers | PC | Abandoned | C- | Pass | |
Kitt | Castlevania: Rondo of Blood | PC | Complete | B- | Hazy | REALLY hard, and totally unforgiving. |
Kitt | Castlevania: Symphony of the Night | PS1 | Complete | B | Hazy | Really good Metroid world, with really really really unnecessary stats, which the game is mistakenly built around. |
Addm | Cave Story | Switch | Complete | C | Good | |
Kitt | Cave Story | PC, Cave Story+ | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Not bad |
Addm | Celeste | Switch | Complete | A | Great | An annoying fanfiction with amazing gameplay. Optional areas/postgame can feel way too trial and error and I feel lose sight of what makes the game good. But they're optional. |
Kitt | Chaos on Deponia | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | |
Addm | Chibi-Robo! | Gamecube | 100% | A | Fantastic | |
Kitt | Chibi-Robo! | Gamecube + Text skip patch | Abandoned | B- | Hazy | This breaks my heart. One of the most charming games in the world, but I just don't have the same patience for QoL clunk like I used to. Deserving of a remake or remaster. |
Kitt | Choice of Robots | PC | Complete | B | Hazy | Pure text adventure, these tend to be a good way to read while picking choices for an hour or so |
Kitt | Chrono Trigger | DS remaster | Complete | B+ | Hazy | Look, this game is huge, and super imaginative, and really good combat system - but there's definite clunk and definite repetition |
Kitt | Cities: Skylines | PC | Complete | A+ | Great | City building has never been this freeform, can see how this is the dream game for some |
Kitt | Codename: S.T.E.A.M | 3DS | Abandoned | C- | Pass | Whatever |
Kitt | Control | PC | Abandoned | D | Pass | This game is gorgeous but that is all it is. Occasionally that's enough. |
Addm | Counter-Strike: Global Offensive | PC | Complete | C | Pass | |
Kitt | Crypt of the NecroDancer | PC | Shelved | |||
Addm | Cuphead | Switch | Shelved | A | Great | I'm just not good enough at it |
Addm | Cyber Shadow | Switch | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Addm | Dark Souls | Switch | Complete | A | Great | |
Kitt | Dark Souls | PC Remastered | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | You really end up developing a relationship with the world and its levels. Big fan. Looking forward to more. Difficulty is more about patience than actual skill, but that doesn't mean those bosses are any less satisfying to finally master. |
Addm | Dark Souls 3 | PS4 | Complete | A- | Great | |
Kitt | Dark Souls 3 | PC | Complete | B+ | Hazy | Really suffers from a lack of that Dark Souls interconnectivity. Feels very computer-gamey in a way the original wasn't. Fun enough. |
Addm | Darkest Dungeon | PC | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | |
Kitt | Darkest Dungeon | PC | Shelved | |||
Addm | Dead Cells | Switch | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | |
Kitt | Deponia | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | Wonderfully awkward, and not in that internetty way. The spiritual successor to the Lucasarts games. I love these games. |
Kitt | Deponia Doomsday | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | I will never not love studios putting out a sequel specifically to spite the idiot fans. |
Kitt | Destroy All Humans! | PC remaster | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | Fun mess-around, with absolutely zero substance. Snatches of genius humour. |
Kitt | Deus Ex | PC | Complete | A- | Fantastic | Aren't many games like this, especially ones that incorporate clunk. Dated as hell, but genuinely believe this makes it a bit better. |
Kitt | Deus Ex: Human Revolution | Wii U Director's Cut, PC Director's Cut | Complete | B- | Great | Probably one of the better triple-A gameplay examples out there, especially for stealth/cover shooting - which is saying something. Writing is abysmal, story isn't awful though. |
Kitt | Deus Ex: Invisible War | PC | Abandoned | D | Pass | |
Kitt | Deus Ex: Mankind Divided | PC | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Human Revolution is by no means a brilliant game, but Mankind Divided really improves on the bits that didn't matter, and takes away from the bits that did. Writing is now incoherent. |
Kitt | Deus Ex: The Fall | PC | Complete | D | Pass | Human Revolution is by no means a brilliant game, but it's baffling that The Fall was published. As a side note, the book this is based on actually isn't bad at all! |
Kitt | Disco Elysium | PC The Final Cut | Complete | S | Fantastic | Best game writing I've seen, contender for best writing I've seen. Genuinely beautiful. |
Addm | Disgaea 5 Complete | Switch | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Kitt | Dishonored | PC | Complete | B | Great | I like killing in this game, have no interest in its stealth whatosever - which I say as a stealth fan |
Kitt | DK: Jungle Climber | GBA | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Feels excellent to play, still needs to push further |
Kitt | DK: King of Swing | DS | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Very cool control concept, needs to push further |
Kitt | Donkey Kong 64 | N64 | Shelved | C | Pass | Lot of work for not a lot of game |
Kitt | Donkey Kong Country | SNES | Complete | A | Fantastic | Has heart like no other game I've ever played. Fantastic music. |
Kitt | Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest | SNES | Complete | A | Fantastic | Some atmosphere traded for difficulty. Still very solid. Unbelievable music. |
Kitt | Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! | SNES | Complete | B- | Hazy | Comparatively uninspired |
Addm | Donkey Kong Country Returns | Wii | Complete | A | Great | |
Kitt | Donkey Kong Country Returns | Wii, 3DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Unbelievably polished, collectables tedious |
Kitt | Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze | Switch | Complete | B+ | Great | Even more polished, loads of variety, needs to move on from segmented design. |
Kitt | Donut County | PC | Complete | B- | Hazy | Feels great, but needs fleshing out |
Addm | DOOM | Switch | Complete | A- | Great | |
Kitt | DOOM | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Nothing like Doom, but what it is is a lot better. Really thought fast-paced arena shooters were dead. |
Addm | DOOM ETERNAL | PS4 | Shelved | Great | ||
Kitt | Dr Mario X | N64 | Complete | C | Great | Still unsure what this game is |
Kitt | Dr Mario: Miracle Cure | 3DS | Complete | C | Pass | Too much unnecessary stuff. Hard to even figure out how to play normal Dr Mario. |
Kitt | Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald | PC | Complete | A | Great | Quick, a bit witty, pretty good. |
Addm | Dr. Mario | PC | Abandoned | D | Pass | |
Kitt | Dropsy | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Really interesting point and click adventure. Entirely non-verbal. A bit heartbreaking. |
Addm | Duck Game | PC | Complete | C+ | ultimate party shooter. Still just a party shooter | |
Kitt | Duck Game | PC, Switch | Complete | A- | Great | Quick to teach, even quicker to play. Always ends up being a favourite party game of the night. |
Kitt | Earthbound | SNES | Complete | B+ | Great | Unparalleled style. There can never be a game like this again. A bit unfair. |
Addm | Elden Ring | PS4 | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | Insane highs, infuriating lows |
Kitt | Enter the Gungeon | Switch | Abandoned | C+ | Pass | Once again, got that cheap roguelike thing going on |
Kitt | F.E.A.R | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Some of my favourite gunplay ever. The nail gun might be my favourite gun in any game. |
Kitt | Fallout 2 | PC | Complete | B+ | Hazy | There is a lot to like here, but the glitches make it damn difficult to do so |
Addm | Fallout 3 | PC | Complete | C- | Love & Hate | |
Kitt | Fallout 3 | PC | Complete | B- | Hazy | |
Addm | Fallout 4 | PC | Complete | C | Love & Hate | |
Addm | Fallout: New Vegas | PC | Complete | C+ | Good | |
Kitt | Fallout: New Vegas | PC | Complete | Gonna play again, true rating comin soon | ||
Addm | Fez | PC | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | |
Kitt | Final Fantasy VII | Switch | Complete | B+ | Hazy | Perfect for growing up with. I didn't. |
Kitt | Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade | PC | Abandoned | D | Pass | Astonishingly boring. Generic corridor game. Combat's actually pretty developed, but you'll spend about 1/6th of the game actually doing it. The last thing FFVII needed was being turned into anime. |
Addm | Final Fantasy VII: Remake: Intergrade | PS4 | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | Cool combat, lazy overworld |
Kitt | Finding Paradise | PC | Complete | C+ | Great | It's good, but it's not a tightly made story like To the Moon was, and is giving into self-referencial humour. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia | 3DS | Complete | B- | Great | Different in a way that it took me about 20 hours to realise the game had 'begun' already |
Addm | Fire Emblem: Awakening | 3DS | Complete | B- | Great | Too much anime |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Awakening | 3DS | Complete | A- | Great | Definitive Fire Emblem. Will come back to play DLC soon. (Didn't). Anime stuff on thin ice. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Fates - Conquest | 3DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Gets really, really tough. Writing hugely improved from Awakening. Anime stuff unacceptable. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War | SNES unofficial translation | Shelved | C+ | Great | Can be extremely frustrating. Nails the 'we're going to war' feel. Gave up just before the big thing happens. Worth a revisit. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem | DS unofficial translation | Complete | B- | Great | Solid strategy game |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance | Gamecube | Complete | B+ | Fantastic | Best writing in series, genuinely very good strategy game, even despite approaching fan-fic territory. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn | Wii | Complete | B- | Great | Writing/plot disappears up its own arse a bit, some very cool levels. Takes ages. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon | DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Solid strategy game |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade | GBA unofficial translation | Complete | B- | Great | Weakest Fire Emblem but 100% has its own charm |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade | GBA | Complete | B | Great | Slow start, good middle, agonising end |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones | GBA | Complete | B+ | Great | Just solid all the way through, has a story you can actually follow. Probably the cleanest Fire Emblem in terms of gameplay, but not the deepest. |
Kitt | Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 | SNES unofficial translation | Abandoned | D | Hazy | Broken |
Addm | Firewatch | Switch | Complete | B- | Great | didn't enjoy the last 10% |
Kitt | Firewatch | PC | Complete | C | Pass | Not as interesting as it thinks it is, in any regard. |
Kitt | For Honor | PC | Complete | B | Pass | There's definitely a way this could be one of my favourite fighting games ever, but it won't be this version of this game. |
Kitt | Frostpunk | PC | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | It definitely isn't, but feels like the hardest game I've ever played. Haunting city builder/RTS. Grandiose in all the right ways, makes you feel really small. |
Addm | God of War | PS4 | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | Didnt get to the top of the big mountain. Apparently picks up massively after that |
Kitt | Goodbye Deponia | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | |
Addm | Grand Theft Auto V | PS4 | Complete | A- | Great | |
Kitt | Grow Home | PC | Complete | B | Hazy | Platformer with a bit of an idea holding it together. Gets old fast. |
Addm | Hades | Switch | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | Only rogue-like I've truly enjoyed |
Kitt | Hades | PC | Complete | S | Fantastic | So tightly put together. Not a single extraneous element. |
Kitt | Half Life: Alyx | PC | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | Contender for the most shear fun and tightest gameplay I've ever seen. The first seamless full-length VR game. Hope it inspires the same ingenuity in other studios. |
Addm | Half-Life | PC | Complete | A- | Great | |
Kitt | Half-Life | PC | Complete | A- | Fantastic | Sense of progression and style is still unrivaled. Xen is a quality drop for sure. |
Addm | Half-Life 2 | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | |
Addm | Half-Life 2: Deathmatch | PC | Complete | B- | Good | |
Kitt | Half-Life 2: Deathmatch | PC | Complete | B | Great | For such a small selection of content, the variety is amazing |
Addm | Half-Life 2: Episode One | PC | Complete | B+ | Good | |
Addm | Half-Life 2: Episode Two | PC | Abandoned | B- | Good | Shit last mission |
Addm | Half-Life 2: Lost Coast | PC | Complete | B+ | Good | |
Kitt | Half-Life: Blue Shift | PC | Complete | C | Pass | Half-Life without the style nor elegance |
Addm | Half-Life: Opposing Force | PC | Complete | A- | Great | |
Kitt | Half-Life: Opposing Force | PC | Complete | C | Pass | Half-Life without the style nor elegance |
Kitt | Halo 2 | PC Master Chief Collection | Complete | B- | Great | Solid shooty bang bang game. Crank that difficulty up. Some bullshit. |
Kitt | Halo: Combat Evolved | PC Master Chief Collection | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Higher difficulty makes all the difference. Remastered graphics are goddawful, good job they let you choose. |
Kitt | Her Story | PC | Complete | A | Great | Can only be played once, but it's a really good once. |
Kitt | Hey! Pikmin | 3DS | Abandoned | U | Pass | Nintendo at their absolute rock bottom worst. Contender for their worst game ever made, yes really. |
Kitt | Hitman | PC, PC Hitman 3 | Complete | B+ | Love & Hate | Unnecessary online requirement, which will break your game when they take down the servers - and that's WHEN, not IF. Otherwise, bordering on S tier game. Some of the best levels I've seen, room for what feels like infinite creativity. Desperately needs more voice actors, and better ones at that. |
Addm | Hollow Knight | Switch | 100% | S | Fantastic | |
Kitt | Hollow Knight | PC | Complete | A | Great | Very versatile metroid game, brimming with good ideas. Really impressive. Not convinced currency system quite works. Loads of secret bosses, but by the time you get to the back half of them you'll be too overpowered for them to be meaningful. Not a bad candidate for someone's first metroid game. |
Addm | Horizon: Zero Dawn | PS4 | Abandoned | D+ | Pass | Just another dull open world game. cool robotic dinosaur machanic, and they never used it. Just play literally any other open world game |
Addm | Hotline Miami | PS4 | Shelved | A- | Great | |
Addm | Hyper Light Drifter | PS4 | Shelved | |||
Addm | Hyrule Warriors | Switch | Abandoned | D | Pass | |
Kitt | Hyrule Warriors | Switch Definitive Edition | Complete | C- | Hazy | Fine, stinks of fanfiction. |
Addm | Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy | PS4 | Shelved | |||
Addm | Journey | PS3 | 100% | S | Fantastic | |
Kitt | Katamari Demacy REROLL | Switch | Complete | B+ | Great | Properly good gameplay. Couple of trolling levels. |
Kitt | Kid Icarus | NES | Complete | B- | Hazy | Gets properly hard, feels great to get good at. |
Kitt | Kid Icarus: Uprising | 3DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Great combat system, can be unfair at times. Huge variety. Story feels massive. |
Kitt | Kirby and the Forgotten Land | Switch | Abandoned | C | Pass | Kirby has never had so little to do |
Addm | Kirby's Epic Yarn | Wii | Complete | B- | Great | |
Kitt | Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland | GBA | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Just a Kirby game. Pretty animations. |
Addm | Kirby's Return to Dream Land | Wii | Abandoned | D | Pass | |
Addm | Left 4 Dead 2 | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | |
Kitt | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga | PC | Abandoned | D | Pass | Fundamentally nothing, nice art direction. Would bump it to a C if I could disable objective markers, because then I'd at least be exploring - I know the options say you can, but it doesn't work. |
Kitt | Life is Strange | PC | Complete | B- | Great | If you can ignore physically wincing at almost every line of dialogue, there's a really strong story and adventure game here. |
Addm | LIMBO | PC | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Kitt | Limbo | PC | Complete | B+ | Pass | |
Kitt | Little Inferno | Wii U | 100% | B | Great | Contender for the cosiest game I've ever played. Strong heart. |
Addm | LittleBigPlanet | PS3 | Complete | B | Great | Lovely little platformer |
Addm | Luigi's Mansion | Gamecube | Abandoned | B- | Great | |
Kitt | Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon | 3DS | Complete | U | Pass | Can't play for 20 seconds without textboxes interrupting to tell you exactly what to do in this puzzle game what |
Kitt | Luigi’s Mansion | Gamecube | Complete | B | Great | Pretty damn fun controls |
Addm | Mabinogi | PC | Complete | B- | Great | Really cool skill system, great world, a forgotten and dev abandoned MMO. Story is ass but comes with the genre. |
Kitt | Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story | DS, 3DS remake | Complete | B+ | Great | Best Mario RPG so far. Bowser Jr side story worthless |
Addm | Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. | 3DS | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Kitt | Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. | 3DS | Abandoned | U | Pass | Amazing visuals, otherwise mind-numbing. This is a 40 hour long tutorial. |
Addm | Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time | DS | Complete | C+ | Great | Just dont really enjoy this series that much |
Kitt | Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time | DS | Complete | C+ | Great | Begging for remake, but will never get it. Great writing. |
Kitt | Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga | GBA, 3DS remake | Complete | B+ | Hazy | Good remake of a solid RPG. New side story worthless. |
Kitt | Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle | Switch | Abandoned | C | Pass | Children's first strategy game, but you could still do better than this for that. |
Kitt | Mario Kart 7 | 3DS | Complete | B | Pass | Stripped back Mariokart. |
Addm | Mario Kart 8 | Wii U | Complete | A- | Great | Great at what it is |
Kitt | Mario Kart 8 | Wii U | 100% | A | Pass | |
Kitt | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | Switch | 100% | A | Pass | Look, Mario Kart is good, it really is, but there are loads more party games out there, and everyone has played MK to death already. |
Kitt | Mario Kart DS | DS | 100% | B+ | Hazy | |
Addm | Mario Kart Wii | Wii | 100% | B- | Great | |
Kitt | Mario Kart Wii | Wii | 100% | B+ | Hazy | Real chance I've not played a game more than this |
Addm | Mario Kart: Double Dash!! | Gamecube | 100% | B | Great | |
Addm | Mario Party 4 | Gamecube | Complete | C+ | Good | Great at what it is |
Kitt | Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis | DS | Complete | C | Hazy | Competent but basic |
Kitt | Mario vs. Donkey Kong | GBA | Complete | D | Hazy | Half an idea, half-executed |
Kitt | Mass Effect | PC | Complete | B | Fantastic | |
Kitt | Mass Effect 2 | PC | Complete | B | Great | |
Kitt | Mass Effect 3 | PC | Complete | B- | Great | |
Kitt | Mega Man | 3DS, PC | Complete | C- | Hazy | I don't really have much to say on the Mega Man games, other than they're hard, unfair, and that's what they're for. |
Kitt | Mega Man 2 | 3DS, PC | Complete | B | Pass | |
Kitt | Mega Man 3 | 3DS | Complete | B | Pass | |
Kitt | Mega Man 4 | 3DS | Complete | B | Pass | |
Kitt | Mega Man 5 | 3DS | Complete | B | Pass | |
Kitt | Mega Man 6 | 3DS | Complete | B | Pass | |
Kitt | Mega Man 7 | Switch | Complete | B | Great | Logical next step for Mega Man, don't understand why they abandoned this style after this. Ending is bullshit hard. |
Kitt | Mega Man 8 | Switch | Abandoned | D | Pass | Some of the worst levels I've seen in a big budget 2D platformer, paired with the worst voice acting I've ever heard. |
Kitt | Mega Man 9 | Switch | Complete | C | Pass | |
Kitt | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Fast-paced combat action, unbelievably slick. Story is nuts. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid | PC | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | Somehow both extremely linear and one of the most open stealth games ever, with remarkable stylistic sense. Not for everyone, but it's very good at what it is. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty | PC Substance | Complete | B+ | Love & Hate | One of the most interesting sequels ever made, in the form of a pretty dull game, but that might be the point? Metal Gear really pushes the limits of what this grade system can do. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater | PS2 Subsistence | Complete | S | Fantastic | The soul of computer games. Menus are a bit jank, but mechanically, artistically, one of the tightest, most cohesive games I've played. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots | PS3 | Complete | D | Hazy | The equivalent of calling out your Twitch chat for being very very stupid. That said, not as smart as it thinks it is. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Like the ultimate MGS level. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain | PC | Complete | A- | Great | Really versatile open world stealth, amazing how it was pulled off. Online is pointless. Missions start repeating after credits. |
Kitt | Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker | PS3 | Shelved | D | Pass | What happens when you take the controls out of Metal Gear Solid |
Kitt | Metro Exodus | PC Enhanced edition | Abandoned | D | Pass | Why would you make fully open-world levels, and then require you follow some NPCs around? |
Addm | Metroid Dread | Switch | Complete | C- | Pass | not a metroidvania |
Kitt | Metroid Fusion | GBA | Complete | C- | Hazy | Fantastic atmosphere while completely missing the point of Metroid |
Addm | Metroid Prime | Gamecube | Shelved | C | Hazy | got bored |
Kitt | Metroid Prime | Gamecube | Complete | A+ | Great | Great movement. I prefer the Z targeting of the Gamecube version, but I'm sure the motion aiming is great for some. World interconnectivity really good. |
Kitt | Metroid Prime 2 | Gamecube | Complete | D | Pass | Entirely misses point of Metroid |
Kitt | Metroid Prime 3 | Wii | Complete | C- | Pass | Ok in parts, but still misses point of Metroid |
Kitt | Metroid Prime Hunters | DS | Abandoned | U | Pass | Playable demo at best |
Kitt | Metroid Zero Mission | GBA | Complete | C | Hazy | Redesigns a game that's too tedious into a game that's too easy. Epilogue great |
Kitt | Metroid: Other M | Wii | Abandoned | U | Pass | Baffling that this made it through QA. Interrupting textboxes every room, and your weapons are context activated only. |
Kitt | Metroid: Samus Returns | 3DS | Complete | C- | Hazy | Some nice bosses but still misses point of Metroid |
Addm | Minecraft | PC | Complete | S | Fantastic | |
Kitt | Minecraft | PC Java 1.18 2022 | Complete | S | Fantastic | Still brilliant, especially with friends - MIGHT be getting a bit crowded |
Kitt | Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine | PC | Abandoned | C | Pass | Fun for a bit, but the depth isn't there, and the party aspect gets old quick. Plenty of better co-op games out there. |
Kitt | Mother | NES 25th Anniversary Edition romhack | Complete | C+ | Love & Hate | |
Kitt | Mother 3 | GBA unofficial translation | Complete | B+ | Fantastic | There can never, and will never, be a game like this again. Makes me yearn for much younger times. |
Addm | Mountain | PC | Complete | D | Pass | |
Kitt | New Super Luigi U | Switch Deluxe | 100% | A | Great | Best 2D Mario since World |
Addm | New Super Mario Bros. | DS | Complete | A | Great | Solid platformer, load of fun, luigi poker |
Kitt | New Super Mario Bros. | DS | Complete | B- | Hazy | Excellent baby's first platformer, needs a difficulty spike. Is fairly boring otherwise. Multiplayer is great. |
Kitt | New Super Mario Bros. 2 | 3DS | Complete | B- | Hazy | Premise and execution conflict. Great for 5 minutes at a time. |
Addm | New Super Mario Bros. U | Wii | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Another one? Same worlds, same shit |
Kitt | New Super Mario Bros. U | Switch Deluxe | 100% | A | Great | Definitive McDonalds Mario. Some actual challenges. |
Kitt | New Super Mario Bros. Wii | Wii | Complete | B | Hazy | McDonalds of computer games. |
Addm | Nidhogg | PC | Complete | C+ | Great | |
Addm | Okami HD | Switch | Complete | A- | Fantastic | |
Addm | Orbital Gear | PC | Complete | B- | Great | Could do with more variety, but it's a dead game so no surprise there wasn't more added really |
Addm | Ori and the Blind Forest | Switch | 100% | B+ | Great | |
Kitt | Ori and the Blind Forest | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | |
Addm | Ori and the Will of the Wisps | Switch | Abandoned | C+ | Good | |
Addm | ORION: Prelude | PC | Complete | C- | Good | Shootin' dinos with your mates, class |
Kitt | ORION: Prelude | PC | Complete | C | Great | There's a sense of journey here that deserves to be in a game that's not this |
Kitt | Orwell | PC | Complete | B- | Hazy | Liked where this was going, could maybe have handled a couple more layers of complexity. |
Addm | Osmos | PC | Abandoned | C- | Pass | |
Addm | Out There Somewhere | PC | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Kitt | Outbuddies | PC | Complete | B | Great | A pretty strong Metroid-like, a bit glitchy, never got the hang of the buddy system |
Kitt | Overcooked 2 | Switch | Complete | A | Great | Brilliant co-op game. Fun to be bad at, even more fun to master. |
Kitt | Owlboy | PC | Complete | C | Hazy | It is a constant source of sadness for me that this game is as bland as it is. |
Kitt | Oxenfree | PC | Complete | B- | Hazy | Embarrassing writing and VO, but somehow still very compelling. |
Kitt | Paper Mario | N64 | Complete | C | Hazy | Writing has heart |

Kitt | Papers Please | PC | Complete | S | Hazy | |

Addm | Pikmin | Gamecube | Complete | A- | Great | |
Kitt | Pikmin | Gamecube | 100% | A+ | Fantastic | Somehow really nails being a relaxing, stressful, slow, time-attack game. Remarkable in most ways. |
Kitt | Pikmin 2 | Gamecube | Complete | B- | Hazy | Not sure about the dungeon approach |
Addm | Pikmin 3 | Wii U | Shelved | C | Hazy | Tutorial too long, frustrating how they're always separating the 3 captains |
Kitt | Pikmin 3 | Switch | 100% | A | Great | Builds expertly on the first game, controls could use some tightening up |
Kitt | Pillars of Eternity | PC | Complete | B+ | Great | Rich world, shallow depth |
Kitt | Pilotwings Resort | 3DS | 100% | B- | Great | Just a relaxing flying game |

Addm | Plants vs. Zombies | PC | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Kitt | Please, Don't Touch Anything | PC | Complete | A- | Hazy | Slightly deeper take on Whack My Boss style games. Fun quick mess around, but the setting has limited appeal for me personally. |
Addm | Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 | DS | Abandoned | C- | Hazy | |
Addm | Pokémon Black and White | DS | Complete | C- | Pass | fuckin ugly pokemon. Really the start of them shoving even more generic story down your throat. |

Addm | Pokémon X and Y | 3DS | Complete | C | Pass | I played this one competitively |
Addm | Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness | Gamecube | Abandoned | C- | Pass | the exact same story as coloseum but worse. Literally uses all the same areas with little changed, time has meant to have passed but even models of returning side characters are the same. Felt very lazy. Lost the atmosphere the first had. Purification system improved but that's about it. Disappointed. |
Kitt | Pony Island | PC | Complete | C | Pass | |
Addm | Pool Nation | PC | Complete | C | Good | Just a classy pool game. Has some nice difficulty options to it |

Addm | Psyonauts 2 | PS4 | Complete | B | Great | |

Kitt | Pyre | PC | Complete | B | Hazy | Wasn't expecting SG to make a basketball game, but I'm glad they did, and I'm glad it works kind of really well. Amazingly integrated story. |
Kitt | Qora | PC | Complete | C | Hazy | Pretty, but you walk right and that is indeed it. |
Kitt | Quake | PC | Abandoned | B | Hazy | VS with a big group is still the best. Campaign gets very maze-like fast, and fighting CPUs doesn't quite cut it. |

Addm | Shovel Knight | Switch | Complete | B | Great | |
Kitt | Shovel Knight | PC | Abandoned | B+ | Hazy | Really well done retro-style platformer, gets really tough, loads of level variety. That said, I don't understand why I can't get with this but I just can't. |

Kitt | Steamworld Dig 2 | Switch | Shelved | |||
Addm | Stray | PC | Complete | B | Great | Had to get used to what I can't jump on. Was frustrating knowing a cat could get somewhere I couldnt. Felt like the game went on slightly too long for what it was. |
Kitt | Stray | PC | Abandoned | C+ | Pass | I don't like these sort of games anyway, but the sheer commitment to making a cat game without fluid movement is bizarre |
Kitt | Super Bomberman R | Switch | Complete | B+ | Great | Bizarre. Literally only one game mode, on one map, as couch vs, is any good. But it's REALLY good. |
Kitt | Super Castlevania IV | SNES | Complete | B | Hazy | |

Addm | Super Mario 64 | Nintendo 64 | Complete | |||
Kitt | Super Mario 64 | N64 | 100% | A- | Great | Grew up with this. Still the deepest movement Mario's had. |
Kitt | Super Mario 64 DS | DS | 100% | B- | Great | Truly adore this version of the game. Adds some cool levels. Adds some crap. I NEED a rom with analogue controls restored. |
Kitt | Super Mario Bros. | NES, SNES All-Stars | Complete | A | Great | Solid platformer. Particularly big fan of the All-Stars aesthetic for all four games. |
Kitt | Super Mario Bros. 2 | NES, SNES All-Stars | Complete | B | Great | Fun enough. Clearly not a Mario game. |
Kitt | Super Mario Bros. 3 | NES, SNES All-Stars | Complete | B+ | Great | I play this game once a year |
Kitt | Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels | NES, SNES All-Stars | Complete | A | Great | Solid platformer. Poison mushroom doesn't really add anything, but the levels are still excellent. |
Addm | Super Mario Galaxy | Wii | Complete | |||
Kitt | Super Mario Galaxy | Wii, Switch All-Stars | 100% | B+ | Great | Masterfully put together. QoL improvements needed. One of the only games I can describe as feeling whimsical. |
Addm | Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Wii | Complete | |||
Kitt | Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Wii | Complete | B+ | Great | Mostly improves on Galaxy. Green star level loads make 100%ing unjustifiable. |

Addm | Super Meat Boy | PC | Complete | |||
Kitt | Super Meat Boy | PC | 100% | A | Fantastic | Still not convinced those Steam achievements are out of reach |
Kitt | Super Metroid | SNES | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | Masterful. A testament to its sheer capability as a metroid game that it's still very competitive with all the modern indie games it inspired. |
Addm | Super Paper Mario | Wii | Complete | |||
Kitt | Super Paper Mario | Wii | Complete | C+ | Great | I really like the writing in this, which I can only come close to describing as pre-internet fanfic, but genuinely sincere. |

Addm | Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Wii | Complete | C+ | Love & Hate | |
Kitt | Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Wii | Complete | B- | Love & Hate | Cutscenes are only strength of Subspace Emissary. Gameplay lacking. Awesome roster. Genuinely love the gradiose theming. |

Kitt | Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS | 3DS | 100% | A- | Great | Same as for Wii U, but less optimised for being a fighting game. Fun enough, but totally replaced by Ultimate. |
Addm | Super Smash Bros. for Wii U | Wii U | Complete | B+ | Great | |
Kitt | Super Smash Bros. for Wii U | Wii U | 100% | A- | Great | Definitely the most mechanically basic Smash, but for that reason is very accessible. That said, completely replaced by Ultimate. |

Addm | Team Fortress 2 | PC | Complete | B- | Great | |
Kitt | Team Fortress 2 | PC | Complete | A | Great | Weird case. TF2 was perfectly balanced, now it has items, but the items might ALL be broken so it's still balanced? Anyway, as I understand it, online is plagued with bots |

Kitt | The Escapists 2 | PC, Switch | Abandoned | D | Pass | As suspected, the game IS designed around checking random spawns in desks over and over |
Kitt | The Fall | PC | Complete | C | Hazy | |

Addm | The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds | 3DS | Complete | |||

Addm | The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D | 3DS | Abandoned | |||
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D | 3DS | Abandoned | C- | Pass | Takes the most mechanically interesting Zelda game and makes it exactly like the most boring ones. Very little of the game left. |
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask | N64 Nerrel's texture pack | 100% | S | Fantastic | Unbelievably crafted. One of the definitive computer games, shows off just how much you can do with the medium, with so little. |
Addm | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time | Gamecube | Abandoned | |||
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D | 3DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Unbelievably competent remake, incredibly close to the perfect version of itself. One of the best entry points to get into computer games beyond casual games. |
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages | GBC | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Time travel both tedious and underused |
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons | GBC | Complete | C+ | Hazy | Some of the best single-screen puzzles in the series |

Addm | The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword | Wii | Complete | |||
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword | Wii | Complete | C- | Love & Hate | Some of the best levels in any Zelda, utterly ruined by zero QoL consideration |

Addm | The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | Gamecube | 100% | B | Great | |

Addm | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess | Wii | Complete | |||
Kitt | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess | Wii U HD remaster | Complete | D | Pass | Requires thorough dissection |
Kitt | The Outer Wilds | PC | Complete | S | Fantastic | Never have I wanted to explore a game more. Sense of scale is unparalleled. No distractions, no fiddling with stats, no progression trees. Just you getting better at the movement and understanding how this time-based, physics-based, beautiful, haunting solar system works. No game like it. |
Addm | The Outer Wilds | PS4 | Complete | B+ | Love & Hate | Awful starting area. The game does a beautiful job letting you piece together details. Game is overly punishing making you constantly revisit planets and go through an arduous path just because you didnt walk fast enough the first time. Creates a contradiction between the game wanting you to actively explore and go over the details, and the game making you hurry the fuck up so you don't have to do the same thing again. This caused a lot of frustration and hampered the experience. |
Kitt | The Simpsons: Hit & Run | PS2 | 100% | B | Great | Timeless fun. Some later challenges rely on AI screwups. Unremarkable driving game, but so clearly overflowing with love for the show. |

Addm | The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | PS4 | Complete | B+ | Great | Didn't use the combat mechanics enough |
Kitt | The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | PC | Complete | A+ | Fantastic | Most consistent writing I've seen in a big budget open world RPG game. DLCs are even better. |
Kitt | This War of Mine | PC | Abandoned | B | Hazy | |
Kitt | Thomas Was Alone | PC | Complete | A- | Hazy | Simplistic puzzle platformer that relies heavily on its story. It's got that British 30+ podcaster style which isn't my thing, but this one of the more entertaining puzzle platformers out there. |
Addm | To the Moon | PC | Complete | B- | Great | |
Kitt | To the Moon | PC | Complete | B | Fantastic | |

Addm | Ultimate Chicken Horse | Switch | Complete | C+ | Great | |
Kitt | Uncanny Valley | PC | Complete | C | Pass | |
Kitt | Unravel 2 | Switch | Complete | B | Hazy | Great little co-op puzzle game. The 'story' and cutscenes a little awkward to sit through. |
Addm | Untitled Goose Game | Switch | Abandoned | C | Hazy | |
Addm | Vampire Survivor | PC | Abandoned | C+ | Great | Gameplay loop gets tired fast. After a few broken builds it feels boring. 30m is too long for each level. |

Kitt | Wario Land 4 | GBA | Complete | B | Hazy | There's definitely something here but I need to see it be done properly. |
Kitt | Wario Land II | GBC | Complete | C | Pass | |
Kitt | Wario Land: Shake It! | Wii | Complete | B | Great | Getting there, still feel something's missing. Really close though. Also, Wario might be my favourite generic player character ever. |
Kitt | Wario Ware: Smooth Moves | Wii | Complete | B- | Pass | This is fine, but the Wii mote does ultimately just slow down what is meant to be a fast game. |
Kitt | Wario World | Gamecube | Abandoned | D | Pass | Feels like a bootleg. A small-scale Wario brawler sounds very compelling, but that's not what this is. |
Kitt | Wario: Master of Disguise | DS | Complete | C | Hazy | Nintendo's third best Metroid game. Very fiddly in a bad way. Truly ugly. |
Kitt | WarioWare Gold | 3DS | Complete | B+ | Great | Good but pretty basic initially. Could be slicker. |
Kitt | WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! | GBA | Complete | A | Great | Unparalleled tone. Mostly psychological gameplay, but you don't have time to realise that. One of Nintendo's triumphs. |
Kitt | WarioWare: Touched! | DS | Complete | A | Great | The best use of the DS in its entire lifetime. |
Kitt | Weird West | PC | Abandoned | C | Hazy | Gameplay samey, really isn't much to experiment with, writing is very flat |

Kitt | Wolfenstein: The Old Blood | PC | Complete | C | Hazy | |
Kitt | Worms Armageddon | PC | Abandoned | A- | Great | Some of the most fun turn-based vs I've played. I'm sure the skill ceiling is mental. Still officially supported, but interface has definitely aged. I simply will never be good at Worms, but I think if I was, it'd be ruined for me. |
Addm | Worms World Party Remastered | PC | Complete | B+ | Fantastic | |
Kitt | XCOM: Enemy Unknown | PC | Abandoned | B | Great | |
Kitt | Xenoblade Chronicles | Switch Definitive Edition | Complete | C- | Hazy | Anyone who likes this game is just nostalgic for when the Wii had no big-budget games apart from this one. |
Kitt | Yooka Laylee | PC | Complete | D | Pass | One of the blandest experiences I've ever finished. For a first attempt, amazing. But it's competing with every other game that Banjo Kazooie inspired. |
Kitt | Yoshi’s Island DS | DS | Complete | C | Hazy | Takes one of the tightest made platformers of all time and reduces it to pure tedium. |
Kitt | Yoshi’s Story | N64 | Complete | C- | Pass | |
