freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Halo Campaign Evolved (2026), PlayStation 5 - August It was alright. I felt that the QoL updates and other gameplay modernization detracted from the experience from me. Mostly picked this up because there was no way Halo could be on PlayStation when I was 11. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990), MSX2 (played on Switch 2) - August A lot can be said about this one that is also said of the first but with massive jumps in depth and complexity. Great boss design and I appreciated the consolidation of the key cards. A must-play for fans of the later games. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Metal Gear (1987), MSX2 (played on Switch 2) - August It's a wonder how I hadn't sat down and played through this yet. While understandably primitive, it's awe-inspiring to see just how many tropes/concepts commonly attributed to the Solid series actually started here. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered (2024), Xbox Series S - July If you like OG RE4, you'll have a great time here. Great use of color for a 360/PS3 era game. Weapon variety/upgrades are quirky and fun but wish you could keep the old ones after you get the new one. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Little Nightmares II, PlayStation 5 - July Another fun Sunday afternoon. Wish it was co-op but heard mixed things about the co-op in LN3 so we'll see. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Dino Crisis (1999), PlayStation - July Glad I played this one, a lot of great ideas. Story was kinda eh but I enjoyed the characters. My favorite part was when the dinos would enter the room as a surprise like in Animal Crossing 😄 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Silent Hill 2 Remake (2024), PlayStation 5 - July This got more right than I thought it would. After awhile combat becomes much more of a minor hindrance than an actual threat. I miss the quirky tonal shifts from the original game but Bloober did understand the overall assignment. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Romeo Is A Dead Man (2026), PC - July The most Suda51 game. Early game is probably the strongest it gets. Enjoyed the combat too but not as much as No More Heroes. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Star Fox (2026), Switch 2 - June Too much to say- a remake of one of my favorite games of all time. Maybe a bit too easy now that the performance is a stable 60 fps. Was cautious about the new script but there's enough new stuff and homages that it complements the original quite nicely. 10/10. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yoshi & The Mysterious Book (2026), Switch 2 - June Pleasantly surprised with the mellow mood and physics puzzles in this one! Fond memories playing this in bed and there's still so much more to explore after the main game. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The Exit 8 (2025), Switch 2 - June A fun little twist on spot the difference. Short but memorable and genuinely creeped me out at times. 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Got too happy at the end there but it was a great first run! #starfox 010
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Sonic R (1998), PC - June I ran a 10K road race on Sunday so I had to. While very lacking in content, it's always fun to get a quick 100% in an hour or so. Controls are flawless on a USB SEGA Genesis 6-button controller. 220
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Sonic Racing Crossworlds- Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (2026), Nintendo Switch 2 - June Fun game and does enough to separate itself from Mario Kart World but doesn't reach the highs of Sonic Racing Transformed. Don't particularly care for the non-SEGA crossovers atm but Eva is right around the corner 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back - N-Sane Trilogy (1997/2018), Nintendo Switch - May Haven't done a replay of this in a while and wanted to play on a handheld. It all still holds up and I really appreciated the puzzle solving for the bonus stages in this go-around. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 27/05/20268 years sober today and apparently I can do this now: 030
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Bubsy 4D (2026), Nintendo Switch 2 - May Fun time. Can tell a lot of care went into this- both in respect to the franchise lore (yes, Bubsy lore) and the mechanics. I'm surprised that my main complaint is that Bubsy isn't as annoying in this one. Liked seeing Lani Minella in the credits though! 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Star Wars Episode I Racer (1999), Nintendo 64 - May May the 4th be with you. Great game if a bit easy once you start upgrading your podracer. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Batman Vengeance (2001), GameCube - April Definitely didn't live up to the nostalgia but a fun time-capsule of early sixth-gen. Some annoying jank but just enough to power through. 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Spider-Man 3 (2007), Xbox 360 - April I must've missed the part in the movie where Spider-Man beats the snot out of the hundreds of gothic lolitas. Only 1 out of 100 players have the achievement for finishing this game and I can see why. 120
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (2007), Xbox 360 - April Fun look back at what I believe is the first licensed Musou spinoff from Koei. This is a Warriors game at its most mindless but the hours still flew by. Interesting to see what made it from the anime and what didn't. 111
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 09/04/2026The Simpsons Game (2007), Xbox 360 - April Kinda jank but it has its moments. Some of the mid-2000s deep cuts hit really well while others have been done to death. More of the former than the latter. Worth a playthrough but will probably stick to Hit and Run for my Simpsons game fix. 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Needy Girl Overdose / Needy Streamer Overload (2022), Switch - April Cool little VN / life sim. I skipped the premiere of the anime adaptation at the con since I wanted to see how the story was originally intended. Still working through some of the other outcomes. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Airblade (2001), PlayStation 2 - March I only played the demo when I was a kid but this is so short that it seems I didn't miss much. A lot of cool concepts bogged down by early 2000s jank, for better and worse. Love the OST and learning the objectives to optimize repeat runs is fun. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Crow Country (2024), Switch - March Another fun afternoon. Puzzles are a bit easy but engaging enough to be fun. Keeps the game at a good pace. Story ended up being more interesting than I thought it would be. Excited for SFB's next game! 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Silent Hill Shattered Memories (2009), Wii - March Climax's second Silent Hill game and quite an interesting one. The story is fun to follow with others watching and it's really cool how the smaller choices affect the game. Struggled with the motion controls but it did enhance the game overall. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Resident Evil Requiem (2026), Switch 2 - March What more can I say. Absolute blast from start to finish. Played with the ink ribbons as God intended. Grace's parts took the best of RE7 and made it even more tense. Replaying is a lot of fun too but needs DLC soon. 210
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Silent Hill Homecoming (2008), Xbox 360 - March Mediocre but inoffensive. Combat is a slog. Feel like I forgot the whole thing once I uninstalled. It's cool that you can get the UFO ending on your first run though. 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Mario Tennis Fever (2026), Switch 2 - March Love me some Mario Tennis. Plenty to keep myself busy, still need to determine the fever racket meta. Adventure mode ended up being meh, complete slog for most of it and ends just as soon as it gets interesting. Happy it's included though. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Chocobo Racing (1999), PlayStation - March Great little cart racer. The unique take on the item pickup/upgrade formula made it feel like a Final Fantasy game. It also requires the player to engage with the mechanics if they want to succeed. 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The Bouncer (2001), PlayStation 2 - February The Bouncer. I've always been drawn to the aesthetic of this game and it is exactly the mess that I completely overlooked when I played it at a friend's house when I was 11. Still a fun waste of an afternoon. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Parasite Eve II (2000), PlayStation - February Brought to you by Coca-Cola. Ok game but a huge letdown compared to the previous one in all aspects. I can get into a groove with classic survival horror controls but couldn't dodge some enemies no matter what I did. Still glad I played it though. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown (2012), Xbox 360 - February Trophy hunting after the Switch 2 beta. Not much more to say- it's Virtua Fighter and it's one of the few fighting games I'm able to click with. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Parasite Eve (1998), PlayStation - February Absolute masterpiece. Brilliant narrative, combat system and art direction. Aya is my new favorite Boston rep in gaming. Impeccable music from Yoko Shimomura. Did not like the instant death trap at the end but I was so OP that I redid it quickly anyway. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Silent Hill Origins (2007), PlayStation Portable - January For the first Western-developed Silent Hill, this game gets a lot of undeserved hate. Narrative is particularly weak but the exploration aspects stay intact. Perfect for getting a SH gameplay fix when on the go. 100
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Silent Hill 3 (2003), PlayStation 2 - January Another solid entry in the series. Heather is my favorite protagonist so far. Though fairly linear, the sense of exploration is still there. I've since purchased the HD Collection to get the Platinum trophy. 110
freebread @freebread.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Took my sweet time but I played with the ink ribbons as God intended. 001
