But that doesn&#8217;t make the choice any easier. Sorry, Chloe\u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zoo Rampage<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=6796\">Barf.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ArcaniA<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211;\u00a0By the end, I&#8217;d\u00a0gotten so accustomed to <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=6788\">the game&#8217;s jankiness<\/a>\u00a0that I think I was genuinely enjoying it. But <em>man<\/em>, is it ever broken. Almost Bethesda-like, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spooky Cats<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=6825\">It&#8217;s a thing, alright.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mighty Gunvolt Burst<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=6827\">A very good Mega Man successor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chrono Trigger<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; I usually have trouble with Lavos on\u00a0a NG\u00a0playthrough of Chrono Trigger, but I won pretty handily this time around, despite feeling like I was ill-prepared for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Kirby Clash Deluxe<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; I&#8217;ve rolled the credits, but there&#8217;s still so much more to accomplish. Is it worth the time and effort, though? I&#8217;m not really smart enough to say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna: Extended Edition<\/strong> (PS3) &#8211; A free PS+\u00a0spook-em-up that sounded great on paper, but was more than a little lacking in practice. And yet it still lingers in my mind&#8230; how apropos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ape Escape 2<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Finally completed the slog of a replay to earn the final trophy. I don&#8217;t know why\u00a0I did this to myself, to be perfectly honest. Ape Escape is NO FUN.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>ARMS<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I didn&#8217;t think I would enjoy this game half as much as I do, but it pulled a Splatoon on me. Also I&#8217;ve always\u00a0had a thing about\u00a0boxing, so that <em>probably<\/em> helped.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ever Oasis<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; What do you get when you splice together Zelda and Animal Crossing? A cute, colourful adventure-slash-town-building sim\u00a0that never wants to stop holding your hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resident Evil HD<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Watched Game Grumps play through it, and then bought it myself, because as with Mega Man X, I will buy it as many times as Capcom is willing to sell it to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; The Master Trials DLC came out on the very last day of the month. And so the cycle begins anew&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magikarp Jump!<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211;\u00a0I was almost done, but then they went and added more content!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minecraft<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; It was a battle, but I finally convinced my credit card to give in. Worth it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thumper<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Just when I think I&#8217;ve hit the peak of this game&#8217;s difficulty, it punches me right in the teeth, but I keep coming back because it&#8217;s so very cool and satisfying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TPB: Greasy Money<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211; A little ashamed to admit that I threw some money at it to &#8220;win&#8221; an event. Okay, a lot ashamed.
