Unfortunately there were only about three ideas in the entire game and they just kept making you do them over and over and over again. This felt like it was a brilliant tech demo and that was about it.
I thought the concept alright, though it did had some neat ideas. Sounds like even though you were somewhere between "that was a thing" and "outright loathing it" you thought more highly of it than me, who liked it a little. Let the hate flow through you, mate! It might not have been as bad as Journey, but surely it deserves some of your fury!

Had I paid for it, I assure you the righteous fury would be flowing. However, since this was a PlayStation Now title even a discounted payment wasn't required. It's tough to get that kind of fire burning when My wallet didn't take a hit.
I've finally made it to ten games this year, with Spyro 2 and Final Fantasy IX.

Game #45 is done.
Prince of Persia 2008. It was OK. Probably a 7/10. I didn't really like anything about it as much as the Sands Trilogy, but it's good for one playthrough. One of those games that's been in the back of my mind since it came out every year, thinking hmm I should get around to playing that. Well now it's done & I never have to think about it again. 
It says "To be continued" at the end. Something tells me they're pulling my leg on this one.
As someone who is pretty mediocre when it comes to finishing games, I've managed to finish less than usual. Seven, baby!

I think I'm about the same. I just stopped keeping track.
I was never good at finishing games mainly because I think if I finish it I would never play it again. But I never played those games again anyway.
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
- SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
- Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)
I think I'd rather spend more time playing certain games rather than completing as many as possible.
And so ends another year. One of my worst years ever. I played so much and finished so little. I have never had so many half played games ever. I need to focus and finish them or just quit them and refocus.
Congrats Edge on another win!!!! I will try more next year! Holy shit Archie was right there, what a finish.
Yeah it was a close one. Gears 5 multiplayer and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne do me no favours.
Congrats, Edge!
I made it to 13 lol. But as long as I get to 12, I don't feel too bad.
Yeah my goal is one finished game a month. Uncharted's multiplayer kept that from happening.
I think there was a conspiracy to keep Gagan from winning this year since he was unable to log in .
And congrats edge. You have set a fine example for all of us.

I'm not sure he played much this year, either.
That's twelve for me. My weakest year since the early 2000s. Seems like I'm not the only one with a reduced list for 2019.

Reduced? I finished 12 games this year and am absolutely stoked about it!
2019 the year we all just went meh maybe I'll try something else.

At this rate you'll have the longest list for 2020. I'm ambivalent about my shorter list. Sometimes there are more interesting things for me to do.

Final tally for good ol Gags
1. Devil May Cry 5 - 2019 Game of the Year btw
2. Super Mario Bros 3 - Still my favorite 2D Mario
3. Bayonetta - It's better than 2, significantly so
4. Nex Machina - I'm shit at it, but getting better
5. Devil May Cry 1 - Game still has better combat than most games out today
6. Resident Evil 2 (PS1) - Dope game, the game is signficantly not as good after the police station.
7. Dark Souls 3 DLC shit - Sister Friday, Gael, the Black Dragon all lit. Everything else mediocre
8. Ninja Gaiden NES - hard as shit, but satisfying.
9. Fire Emblem Three Houses - The golden shits are irrelevant to the story, imagine being one of the Butt Eagles and big shillin Edelgard, Edgelord Dimitri Stark is the only answer
10. God of War 4 - Good combat system, not as good as Greek God of Wars 2 n 3, has mediocre gameplay outside of its combat that either needs to be retooled or gutted. PLS STOP WITH THE WALKING SEGMENTS AND UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES!
11. Super Mario Maker 2 - The main story levels are fun enough, my friend Brian's levels are tough, the internet's levels are a crap shoot, but it's unlimited Mario levels, I fux wit it
12. Metal Slug X - I'm shit at it
13. Gradius NES - It's probably better if you can play the arcade version, it's fine tho for a NES title
14. Transformer's Devastation - It's good and sort of speaks to how legit the game director Saito might be (revengeance guy), both his games have been 1 year rush jobs. I'd love to see what he could do with time n a more reasonable budget.
15. The Turing Test - It's a middling chamber puzzle game
16. Blaster Master Zero - meh
17. The banner Saga 3 - double meh
18. Punchout NES - FUCK YOU MIKE TYSON IM THE BADDEST IN THE WORLD!!
I enjoyed it for what it was. I mean, it was only about two hours long. If you didn't like then stay away from What Remains of Edith Finch.
