Honestly, that would have to be Oneshot, and it was amazing. All I can really say without spoiling it is that it's somewhat like Undertale in terms of enjoyment, at least for me.
Undertale and Oneshot spoilers
Although I would prefer that the emotional tension in Solstice was kept with more side stuff that you could mess up and have permanent consequences. What I liked about Undertale is how your actions truly felt like they mattered in the long run. Go from town to town killing everyone? The other's will know and hate you for it. If you instead give everone mercy, never killing a single soul, those actions won't matter until the end. And by then, you'd be glad to have done it. So, the way you play truly mattered, and affected the game's perception of you the player. In Oneshot, I initially thought that my actions truly mattered, but found out quickly that they didn't. The story remains the same no matter what actions you take. That took away from some of the impact the game had. I still cried during Solstice, though.

I recently finished Diablo 3 (finished the campaign, then went into adventure mode and played until I got sub 3 minutes GR 90 runs). And yesterday I finished the main storyline for Q.U.B.E. Anniversary Edition. Now working my way through the bonus sector 8.
I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last "story" ending was Diablo 4 and I haven't liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending... Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it... It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃
Before this I guess it was "It takes two" and it was great.
Pretty sure the last game I fully completed, not just did a successful run of, would have to be Beyond The Edge of Owlsgarde.
It's a point and click adventure game where you play as a deer who comes home for some sort of celebration, only to find his parents are missing. It's charming enough and I found the cast to be enjoyable, especially one special death scene where the English voice actor for the main character improvised and created a hilarious scene because of it.
It's short enough that a full non-commentary playthrough is around 2hrs20min long, but I definitely spent a lot longer on it since I had no idea what to do in certain scenarios. If you don't mind anthro animal characters and are looking for a decent modern point and click, I would recommend it. I personally enjoyed it despite sometimes having no clue what to do.
I tend not to finish most games because I am almost constantly leaping from one to another (or playing games that you can't really beat), but I think the last one I played to completion was probably Cyberpunk 2077 around the time of release: Despite the criticism, I enjoyed the game quite a bit and the ending I did on my first playthrough was pretty damn bleak and soul-crushing.
Been meaning to play it again after all the patching and now that there's an expansion, I might actually get around to it one of these days... So many games, so little time.
Still working on platniuming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It was pretty good, except for the missing last episode, and certain missions that just feel like they're in the game for no real reason because they don't do much to drive the plot forward
I love the weird sci-fi/supernatural atmosphere it has. The gameplay is fast and smooth, especially once your character has mobility and speed upgrades. It also doesn't have the problem I had with Elden Ring in that it feels like it took forever to travel from place to place in ER. MSGV has much faster movement
After Tears of the Kingdom I got a few cheap games. The ones I finished from among them were The Last Campfire, Arise: a Simple Story and Aspire: Ina's Tale. Each one was worth the $2-3 I spent for them. I could see myself replaying TLC or Aspire. Arise was ok to do once but it's too emotional for me to want to replay.
It's hard for me to finish a game. Couple of reasons there. Rather determined though with Gotham Knights right now.
Thinking back to what he last one was... I believe it was Hypnospace Outlaw. That game was a straight trip. Problem solving got a bit much near the end, but my son and I got through it. Really looking forward to the sequel.
Edit: Haha! It wasn't Hypnospace. That was the 2nd to last game to beat. It was Cocoon. Lovely little game with just the right difficulty in problem solving.
F.E.A.R. and I thought it was pretty fun.
Looks great for when it was made and the lighting was pretty impressive. The story was kind of dumb and super cliche. The scares mostly didn't work, but they got me with a few jump scares. The music and atmosphere were pretty eerie and effective. Decent shooter!
I'll eventually check out the sequels and now I really want to play that studio's spy games. I think they are called No One Lives Forever or something like that.
Power Wash Simulator haha. Twas a silly game.
I just finished Spiderman 2. I enjoyed it. It's technically ambitious with the city being so huge but detailed, second load screens for fast travel and just generally beautiful. It adds a lot more combat mechanics and balances some broken mechanics. The story was heartfelt and well done for the most part as well with a few non-combat sections that really let me relate to Peter and his relationships with Harry Osborn and MJ. Yurenthal as Peter Parker put in some emotional performances.
But the gameplay overall is extremely iterative. And the last third or so is extremely rushed with whole plot lines being crammed in and resolved in literal minutes.
If you liked the first game and just want more and "better", you will get that with this game. I was definitely satisfied.
Finish last, GYLT. That is was kinda good game. Working on Scars Above, will finish today or tomorrow. I think I like it. There is a stretch where “I’m like, am I doing the same thing over and over?!”
I want to get “Immortals of Aveum”, but I accidentally added the demo to my PS5, and now I do not see the option to buy the standard (and discounted) edition. PS store is the worst!!
Edit: don’t my ps plus expires at the end of the month, I may get the purchase rights back, but that may suck cause it would be after Black Friday 🤔
Endless Dungeon with a friend. It was entertaining but we finished a full run after not too much time and we're both pretty disappointed. The base gameplay was good, but it really felt like a demo, no real drive to play it again
I just finished demon souls and I thought it was pretty good overall. I felt like the difficulty was interesting. I hit an initial wall until I realized I had to jump from area to area. At that point I steamrolled the rest of the game in two days.
Not my favorite of the souls series, but it was interesting. I could see how they used demon souls as a way to test the waters with various ideas.
I still think my favorites are dark souls 3 and sekiro.
Currently playing bloodborne now. I like where it's going, but I'm still only on the third(?) boss so I'll have to wait and see. It's the last of the series that I need to play.
