New year, new games. I accidentally managed to do a triple-finish, so I really had to think about this.

I finally finished Baten Kaitos' New Game Minus! All Achievements gotten! The game finally got hard, actually. I expected the hardest part to be the fight against three antagonists at the same time. One of them gets two attacks per turn and the game forces the weakest character into your party, so it's technically a 4 on 2 fight. Oh, and you have to do it twice in a row. I thought once that was over with, the rest would be easy, but no, the final boss actually smeared the floor with me pretty hard. I actually had to adapt my decks for the first time. I ended up putting two characters on offense only and loaded up my fastest character with light element armor and the best healing items to revive the attackers who would inevitably die to anything. That strategy even worked first try!

I'll probably replace the Switch-slot with Mario and Rabbids Spark of Hope. I was going to tackle Baten Kaitos Origins next, but maybe I should take a break after everything...

I completed all Challenge Maps in Arkham Origins, too. I still insist that the game is not as bad as people say, but I cannot overlook the amount of glitches. I'm looking forward to my first playthrough of Arkham Knight eventually, but first...

The PC slot has been replaced with Nier:Automata a few days ago. I already beat the game a few years ago, but that was when I was still unemployed, so I wasn't playing a legit copy. Now I'm going after the achievements on Steam because the game is definitely worth buying.

I've also beaten Shantae on the GameBoy. I'm glad I saved all the overworld collectibles until the end, when you can just fly everywhere. That made it much less of a headache. The ending got a bit confusing though. No spoilers, but you're dropped into a tense and dangerous situation, only to find it's not at all dangerous and after five minutes of having zero clue as to what to do had to look up a walkthrough. I'm not replacing this one, three games was a mistake, but the Shantae journey will continue eventually.
