Good Main event. I'm glad it was a clean finish. The ladder match was easily the best match of the night.

I'm shocked they had Rhea win that match. Happy about it, but thought for certain Jade was going to retain until Summer Slam if not longer.

Disappointing IC Title Match. Those two should have been able to put on a much better match than that. This should have been a triple threat or Fatal 4 way match.

That ladder match was awesome. Everyone looked good and had great spots. Excellent match and rest of the card will be hard to follow that.

Night 1 of WM was a solid okay. Gunter vs Rollins was my favorite match of the night. I'd argue the opening and closing matches were the two weakest matches of the night.

Rollins vs Gunther was easily the best match of the night so far. I wish it had been a clean victory, but glad to Bron Breaker back.

I really thought they were gonna setup a Jey vs LA Knight fight with that first match.

5th game beaten of 2026 was Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. This was my first Trails game and I absolutely loved it. The characters, humor, story, combat system were all amazing. I'm super annoyed I have to wait until September for the Second Chapter.

4th game beaten of 2026 was Dragon Quest XI. This was my second DQ game i've ever played and beaten. It was a fun game good story and really enjoyed it. The Inventory Item system sucks compared to having played DQ7R where all the items were accessible to all players.

3rd game I beat in 2026 w as Dragon Quest7 Reimagined. This is the first DQ game i've ever played for a significant amount of time and I really enjoyed this game and it makes me want to give a real try. Story was good, although there were alot of plotlines left hanging.

2nd Game I beat in 2026 was Persona 3 Reload. I'm glad I played the game however, compared to Persona 5 it was lacking in story to catch my interest and interesting Social Links. The story was back loaded and very hard to care about early on.

First game completed in 2026 was Powerwash Simulator 2. Good followup to the original, alot of fun levels. I wish the Disc Washer for floors was better as its finicky and generally takes more time to use than regular washers do to clean. Foam is great early game.

I beat 15 games in 2025 which I've made it a goal past few years to finish more games I buy/own. Top 5 Games that came out in 2025 for me.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Outer Worlds 2
Hades 2
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Dispatch

Honorable Mention to Avowed, Donkey Kong and Pokemon.

15th game of 2025 was Chained Echoes. This is a game I'd been meaning to play for last couple years and finally started it up and been hooked on it for last several days. Good Gameplay, great world building and story. I do wish the game was voice acted.

14th Game of 2025 was Dispatched. Amazing story, great voice acting and just wanted more of this game. Looking forward to playing it again in a few month's going down different path's to see how scene's and story may change.

13th Game of 2025 was Outer Worlds 2. I loved this game, great cast of characters fun story. My only complaint was on my end by not talking to certain NPC's early enough I locked myself out then ending I wanted. Can't wait for DLC to replay in a completely different way and faction.

I truly hope we get some actual changes, invention in future games as this felt very safe with the only additions being some new Mega forms which alot of them were super disppointing(looking at your feraligatr).

In addition to have no Voice acting is insane to me. The complete lack of voice acting took me out of the game and its even more apparent after looking how far franchise could go if it was say in the studio who did Digimon Story Time Stranger which has better cut scenes and voice acting.

12th game of 2025 was Pokemon: Legends Z-A. Overall I had fun playing the game as I love the Pokemon series. I'm very split on this game overall though. While I love this version of the capture mechanic, the "Boss" Battles and battling in general feels very clunky.

11th game of 2025 was Hades 2. Just hit credits and this game was amazing and one of the best sequels ever made. I loved this game. Weapons mostly felt great, i liked alot of the new powers and the Hex and Arcana system were excellent.

10th game of 2025 was Borderlands 4. This was an okay game that I think will get better and I'm still going to try and go through more of its side quests. Honestly the Main story was kind of meh to me, but some of the side quests have been awesome. Should waited for a sale though.

WTF Jerry Jones decided he need to one up the Dallas Mavericks in stupidest fucking trades in Dallas Sports History.

9th game of 2025 was No Sleep for Kaname Date. I enjoyed going through this game as a fan of the AI games. It's a nice complientary game to those. It also really makes me hope we get a full third AI game in the future.

8th game of 2025 Donkey Kong Bananza. Simply put this game was phenomenal and now is one of it not my favorite platformer of all time. I loved the game and struggled to put the game down. Highly recommend it for anyone with a Switch 2.

I don't think I saw a single game I'm interested in at SGF. Looks like imma have alot of time to catchup on my backlog. Hopefully Xbox, Future Games Show and PC Game show will have some great announcements.

Minor negatives I had was had some character model glitches in end game cut scenes that made them unwatchable due to blurring. I'm also torn on the reliance of Dodge/Parry in the game. While it kept combat engaging it also led me to try and 1 shot bosses so I didn't have to dodge

7th Game of 2025. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this was a phenomenal game. Excellent Turn based gameplay, great story and characters. A world I immediately want more games to be made in. Easily my favorite game of the year so far.

6th game of 2025: Wasteland 3, this is a game I think I beat back when it first released, but had been wanting to play again. The Humor, the questionable choices you can make and take are great. The two DLC's I give them credit for trying new things, but did not really enjoy them.

5th game of 2025: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. This spinoff was awesome. Fun as hell story, great voice acting. I prefer the turn based combat of the recent Like a Dragon games. Ship combat was fun, but you could buy best weapons almost immediately.
