A screenshot from 'Reanimal'. Children walk through a huge field of yellow flowers, towards the fog where a large barn and silo stand.

8.) Reanimal

Now THIS is the natural progression of the formula developed in 'Little Nightmares'. The stages are more dynamic, more creepy, more intriguing, and more surprising than ever.

I'm so confused by that story, but I quite enjoyed it all.

A screenshot from Balatro on Mobile.

7.) Balatro

I had picked this game up again to start fresh on mobile. I now have beaten every deck at least on the basic stake and gotten to gold stake in order to unlock them all. I consider that 'beaten'.

Once again it was a bunch of addictive fun!!

The title screen for 'Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo'.

A screenshot from 'Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo'. Bee-themed enemies who work at a police station mutter to themselves about defeating spreadsheets.

6.) Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo

This game was fantastic. It's like a top-down Zelda but actually changes enough to be its own awesome take on action adventures. Great puzzles and the yoyo mechanic rocks. 69% completion in 22~ hrs.

5.) Neva: Prologue

I played this exclusively on my flights out of Romania, in European airspace.

Good DLC. More of the game you enjoyed before. Appropriately priced for the length but worth playing for sure.

4.) Sagrada

I first played this on Switch before I ever owned the real game. Both were great. Then I picked it up on mobile and played through the solo campaign again. Fun all over. Nice looking puzzler. Good tabletop equivalent. Affordable too!

The title screen for 'Little Nightmares III'.

A screenshot from 'Little Nightmares III'. Our protagonists climb up a dusty mine shaft. The lighting and lack of contrast makes for a tough to discern image.

A screenshot from 'Little Nightmares III'. A creepy woman with a large head and sharp fingers lurks in her office. Our main characters hide in the corner.

A screenshot from 'Little Nightmares III'. Our protagonists look longingly at some old furniture.

3.) Little Nightmares III

Another nightmare, put to rest.

While I did enjoy this game overall, for its interesting scenarios and fun mystique...

...I will never forgive the lack of contrast and clarity which hindered my experience through and through.

1.) Mario Kart World

I now consider this 'beat' as I unlocked all core character costumes, found all P-Switches, Medallions, and Question Mark spaces, while getting golds through 150cc on all cups.

Any other straggling stuff is just meant for 100%ing it, for me anyway.

It's 2026 and games are getting played! Here in this thread I'll be tracking game completions. Last year was a bit slower for me, will I pick up the pace this year?

I wish you all a 2026 full of great games, healthy lives, and good news!

With that said, here are my games beaten;
