So out of 28, I did 20. The missed genres are kind of a mixed bag on why I didn’t get anything. Mystery dungeon only has two options and both are bleh. I want PS4 emulation before bothering with Omega Z, and Yuuna barely felt worth playing. Sports only really has the Xtreme DOA games, all of which are just as much dating sims as much as sports games and are grindy as all hell. Card battler and auto were added pretty late and don’t have a lot of options, and I split FPS and photography really late as I decided they really should be counted as different game types. Grid was supposed to be Trillion, but two of my three computers ran the game like shit. Rhythm is missing but I am going through Muse Dash so its in an odd spot for completion.
I’m going into next year with this same list as a goal. I have most of it already decided so I can hit the ground running. As for porn, expect a lot of small in progress stuff. After Dohna Dohna I’m not going to want to play anything longer then 5-10 hours for a while.
I did want to get an Ai game, but nothing showed up worth playing. The one I was looking forward to vanished after their demo, nothing else showed up that put in effort into the AI images or the game itself. Lots of basically galleries, or no gallery function, empty card games, games that die in a month, and so on. I want to see someone use the tech to make something good but so far nothing I’ve seen has been worth a damn.

I basically stopped playing Vns this year… Kind of sad but next to none of the releases interested me. Hope next year is better, but little announced really makes me think it’s going to change.
My Mysterious Rule was the break out success of the year, though personally Crawling Lab was probably the most unsuspected good game I played. Discovering eTRUe is general was nice, there’s few fanservice game makers who haven’t pivoted away from ecchi or into porn. Wings of Seduction was probably my favorite h game for gameplay of the year.
I’m blanking on anything else… Have a good new year, hope things get better for everyone.
