New year, new credits rolling on a game.
This time the game is Roots of Pacha! I finally completed my second playthrough although I'm still trying to romance Vallah but seems like it's a known bug
Into my "Finished in 2025" it goes https://questlog.app/u/ivozzo/playlists/finished-in-2025--xyhteirh
As always, this game has been played exclusively on the Steam Deck.
Now, onto the next adventure!
After a pleasant playthrough, Neva goes straight into my "Finished in 2025" list https://questlog.app/u/ivozzo/playlists/finished-in-2025--xyhteirh
I'll post more screenshots on Pixelfed, properly CW'ed to avoid spoilers, because the game was a great journey with a simple but deep story.
And at the end of that journey, you'll just be left with the credits rolling, your eyes watering up and nothing more to say except "Oh."
I highly recommend playing this game.
Finally rolling credits on Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, going straight into my "Finished in 2025" list https://questlog.app/u/ivozzo/playlists/finished-in-2025--xyhteirh
Somewhat longer than the games I'm used to, as a long FF 7 fan I quite enjoyed this new take on the series.
I'll wait a bit before venturing into Rebirth though, as this chapter has been a drag sometimes and I don't want to burnout l.
I've played it mostly on the Deck.

Another game in my "Finished in 2025" playlist (https://questlog.app/u/ivozzo/playlists/finished-in-2025--xyhteirh): Stars in the trash.
Great indie adventure/platformer with a somewhat deep background story, all hand drawn.
The game is quite easy, accessible and short; in case you have kids or you'd like to play light-heartedly to relieve some stress, I suggest to look into it,
This morning I managed to finish Blanc on my Deck, just before work.
What a great and amazing journey it has been!! And to top it all, top notch hand drawn visuals plus a deeply emotional OST.
Give it a spin folks, you won't regret it.

Finally completed my last journey to the everdoor in Spiritfarer.
I definitely underestimated this game when I first picked it up; I thought it was just a pleasant and light game to play on the Deck.
It was pleasant to play alright, but definitely not light at all. In fact, it hooked me right in the feels real hard and I didn't play anything else until the end.

I said goodbye to Arthur Morgan last night, officially closing my first playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2.
What an amazing odyssey through the American history. It's undoubtably a great game, able to reach your feelings and making you completely involved in the story. In fact, after the 4th chapter I completely lost track of all the side quests and focused on the main story, because I wanted more of it every time!
I think I got the "good" ending, because I played my Arhur Morgan on his way to redemption.
What a great last ride

Finally riding through the Plains of Silence, it's my turn to say goodbye to Mad Max.
What a great and adrenalinic open world!
Now, onto new adventures!

BOOM
With that, Saren and Sovereign are down for the count!
And this means that I completed my playthrough of Mass Effect I (Legendary Edition).
I'll never forgive Ashley for shooting Wrex, but it is what it is and my squad has been able to defeat the reapers...for now.
I think I'll catch a break from ME before starting the second episode, playing something something different.
Although remastered, ME didn't age well in my opinion and the animations and the mechanics are...ew. Fortunately, it's one of those games where the story is a masterpiece and the technical part isn't too frustrating, so it can be played (and replayed) well.

And just a few hours before the new patch drop that will add a whole new planet and invalidate the previous save games, I managed to complete Lightyear Frontier!
Farming is chill, but what about mixing a bit of Satisfactory, Mecha exploration and other nerdy stuff? Hell, this game is dope.

Emily has been saved and now sits atop the empress throne.
Will I be remembered as a brutal assassin? Very likely.
Will I be remembered as a loyal servant? Very likely, again.
I'm closing Dishonored after a very frustrating beginning, plus a somewhat chaotic and brutal playthrough.

This game has been played exclusively on the Steam Deck and ran amazingly.
Now, onto the next adventure!

What a great and adrenalinic game is Road Redemption!
I'm closing the main campaign but I'll keep playing it from time to time, it's a great between-meetings sink.

Now, onto the next adventure!
Finally rolled the credits on Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition
I'm in a complicated relationship with this game and I was about to drop it again (for the...15th time?) but this time I powered through it and finally closed this chapter.
It was fun and frustrating and if I'd have to pick a top 50 of the games I'd want to play again, this definitely won't be in the chart.
But hey, it is done and I don't see myself playing the second chapter any time soon, so I guess I'll be moving to complete FF VII Remake Intergrade (the DLC) and then off to Mass Effect 2 :)

#Gaming #Videogames #DivinityOriginalSin #DivinityOriginalSinEnhancedEdition #Questlog #LinuxGaming
Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition Edition is a much lauded Role-Playing-Game that blends deep customization and humor with dynamic turn based combat. Either in online co-op, split-screen co-op on your TV, or even alone, take advantage of a classless RPG system to create your heroes and conquer the evils of Rivellon! Embark upon a journey with up to three companions as you bend the very fabric of time, where what seems like the case of a simple murder unravels into hours of quests facing fiendish foes, magical polymorphs, and dastardly bosses. As a Source Hunter, master the elements and use the environment to your advantage in dynamic combats mixing weather and magic to explode, poison, electrify, freeze and burn your enemies!
Finally completed the INTERMission DLC from Final Fantasy VII Remake.
What a...letdown.
Somewhat interesting when looked from the outside, once started it was quite boring and by the looks of it, just a way from Square to grab some more money, as it's bundled with another edition of FF VII Remake (Intergrade).
Off to complete Fable and then, then...I dunno.

I completed the main story from Fable Anniversary in my new pure evil playthrough and now all Albion is fearing my name and my legend.
Jack of spades? Pfft. What a noob.
I completed this playthrough entirely on the Steam Deck and I can say that the mechanics definitely didn't age well, but the story is still there, right where nostalgia will punch you, where it hurts.

Fully re-mastered with HD visuals and audio, Fable Anniversary is a stunning rendition of the original game that will delight faithful fans and new players alike! The all new Heroic difficulty setting will test the mettle of even the most hardcore Fable fan. With no Resurrection Phials and even more lethal enemies to contend with, will you be able to survive? Forge a hero based on your actions: age and evolve a hero or villain through the actions you choose and the path you follow-be it for good, evil, or in-between. Build your living legend: Through deeds and actions, build a name for yourself across the land. Recruit allies and followers. Gain glory or notoriety. Who will you be? With an entirely new lighting system, slick new interface, all new textures, models and gameplay, Fable Anniversary is the full HD, definitive Fable experience.
The collectors threat has been defused and now the whole universe can sleep peacefully, but at what cost? Commander Shephard is left sitting on the bed in his own quarters remembering the last sweet hours with his beloved Tali'Zorah. But he has no time to mourn, no time to cry, he has to be the defender of the universe, the reapers menace is still dangling upon everybody's head.
I completed the main story from Mass Effect 2 (Legendary) with a full paragon playthrough, but seems like the story evolved in a way that likely will see a different Shephard in the next chapter: alone, seeking revenge for Tali, bitter and angry.
I didn't expect ME2 to hit so hard on the feelings, definitely one of those good games that like a good book, makes you connect deeply with the characters. Bravo.
I completed this playthrough entirely on the Steam Deck.

What a great phrase to end Tomb Raider!
I'm not a huge fan of the previous games but I must say that this episode mixed exploration moments and action scenes quite well.
As always, I completed this playthrough entirely on the Steam Deck.

Tomb Raider explores the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft and her ascent from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Armed only with raw instincts and the ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Lara must fight to unravel the dark history of a forgotten island to escape its relentless hold.
Hiroki's journey to Yomi and back has finally ended. He struggled till the end between love and duty, but to regain his balance he had finally to say goodbye to his lost love, Aiko, and step back into his vow to protect the people, honoring Sanjuro's memory.
Trek to Yomi finally went into my Finished in 2025 Questlog playlist, right when it started being too repetitive.
Aside from that, it's a great cinematic masterpiece honoring classic samurai films and for this exact reason I played it exclusively on my PC in UltraWide. What a treat!
Onto the next adventure!
As a vow to his dying Master, the young swordsman Hiroki is sworn to protect his town and the people he loves against all threats. Faced with tragedy and bound to duty, the lone samurai must voyage beyond life and death to confront himself and decide his path forward.
If I had to describe Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart I'd probably say it's a fun little battle of chaos. Which is a good thing for a game like this, funny, somewhat hard but not too much and definitely not repetitive.
It's a lot of fun, for kids and ever not-so-much-kids. Go check it out, now!
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart joins my Finished in 2025 Questlog playlist.

Yesterday I closed my first run of Detroit Become Human. A truly great game carrying a deep message, I honestly don't know why I let it sit in my backlog for that long.
Thank the gods a user from our Discord server convinced me to play it!

Onto the next adventure!
Detroit: Become Human puts the destiny of both mankind and androids in your hands, taking you to a near future where machines have become more intelligent than humans. Every choice you make affects the outcome of the game, with one of the most intricately branching narratives ever created.
In a galaxy far far away, Key Vess was finally able to save his metallic friend and escape the empire's clutch. The Trailblazer's engines hums contently while charging the hyperdrive, moments before pulling the lever and jumping into another adventure.
I finally finished Star Wars Outlaws yesterday and I wrote an itty-bitty review, that you can find here

This morning I closed my first playthrough of Dragon Age the Veilguard.

"Your torment has lasted long enough". With these words, Kena helped the last spirit finally passing through to the other realm.
I dunno why I never bothered playing it before, but after finishing Kena: Bridge of Spirits I can say that I missed so much.
(Yes, I know why I never bothered playing it before, Mountain Backlog, that's why.)
Another completely forgettable review can be found on Questlog
