2021 Gaming Challenge
Welcome to the 2021 Video Game Challenge!
It's the Reading Challenge (which you should also look into – taking breaks is important, and what better way to take a break than to read a book?) but with video games, basically. Post in here and let us know how many games you'd like to try and finish this year, and off you go!
A few guidelines to take note of:
- Everything counts. Visual novels, walking simulators, mobile, all those other controversial genres that many on the internet will sneer at: these are all video games, if you wish for them to count towards your list. If you don't, then don't include them. Your list, your rules!
- A game is finished when one of the following occurs:
1. You see the end credits.
2. Where this is not viable, you finish the main mode – for example, with rhythm games, this would be playing through every song, racing games it'd be doing every unlockable cup, etc. If you're ever unsure, ask away!
3. One of the above happens, and you're satisfied. Want to complete postgame content, trophies/achievements, or get 100% completion? Go for it! This is not required to count the game as finished, but nor is it discouraged.
4. Extra note: you do not need to see the "true" ending for games with branching pathways and multiple endings, just finishing it once and seeing the credits is enough.
- For games that have no end like Final Fantasy XIV and Genshin Impact, to name the two that are most relevant at the time: given the time investment involved in these games, significant patches (i.e. ones that provide new story content) released in 2021 count as one new game.
- Any story-based DLC/expansions released in 2021 can count as a game towards your list, as long as you finish the content they bring with them. If it was released before, it counts as postgame content if you choose to do it.
- Replays are fine, but the same game cannot be counted twice, unless you are playing different versions of that game - e.g. an original version and then a remake.
It is encouraged that you keep us all regularly updated with your progress! Post back here when you finish a game and give us a review of your experience with it! Maybe you could try keeping a Game Journal on the forum if you'd like to keep things separate too?
