Thank Goodness You're Here! - Loved it. Lots of laugh out loud moments. No spoilers, just play it if you like that kind of humour (slapstick, Carry On-esque innuendo, Reeves and Mortimer surrealism, VERY British).
When the game asked 'tha frum tarn?', it's the first time I realised I do infact speak a second language. Yorkshire superpower unlocked.
That came up, I laughed and my Irish partner said 'I don't understand'. Had to put it into English like a southerner (which I am), but it doesn't change much bar some edits to the subtitles.
I think you are both just making shit up.

This is a really fun game to just drive about a bit with that immersive radio station setup (adds to the game a lot but it's hard not to think how Vice City's radio is about a million times better and you'ren ot listening to that), do a few missions and soak in the atmosphere of Liberty City that I think still holds up to this day. Portland is a city I know like the back of my hand (Staunton and Shorevale less so tbf) and it's still really fun to blast around on a Cheetah or Banshee for a while. The missions are all pretty uninspired now though and not really fun to do back to back, I remember thinking they were super hard but turns out the bullshit final mission is the only hard one imo. That and it's pretty obvious the story was the thinnest of threads to get you around Liberty City.
Think I'd recommend playing this one for a bit, but once you hit Staunton maybe stop to play the superior sequels if you want PS2 era GTA. Not knocking the legacy of the game though, obviously, legend. 🫡
GTA 3 also now completed for me. Started this on late June and not particularly blasted through it. It's amazing still I feel (Like Alastor suggests) but I remember in era this feeling huge and taking so much longer to complete.
I think being able to easily look up the packages now makes it easier as you can stock pile the weapons quicker, and the missions giving you an auto restart if you fail are what causes it mainly.

Enter the Gungeon - Got my mojo back eventually, managed to rebuild the Bullet That Killed The Past, beat the Dragun (plus a bunch of hidden bosses) and killed the Pilot's past to boot. Credits rolled. Lots more still to do, but I'm counting it for the list.
KOTOR finally completed. Been playing this on and off since the release was stable on the Switch. Still absolutely love this game, get it would probably not be fun for someone as a first playthrough but it's been brilliant to return to, having completed it several times originally and not touched it since.
Now completed Banner Saga 3rd part. Really loved this series and slowly played it over a few years as I have grabbed all the parts. This could be in my all time top 10 games lists if I stopped to think about it.
One of those games where I feel a bit sad it's all over and empty that it's completed.

I think this might be the first roguelite deckbuilder-y type game I ever completely beat, so it must be doing something right. Being a game you can play one-handed on a phone, in portrait mode, without necessarily devoting 100% attention definitely helps too. It’s RNG-based, unsurprisingly, given the name, and that it’s based on slot machines, and as a result probably won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s still on my phone even now, as I’ve reset my progress, and I’m happily occasionally working through it again while I wait for Balatro to finally hit iOS in a few weeks.
There Is No Game: Jam Edition
Short free version of the premium game that, as its name suggests, was submitted to a game jam. It’s a short, silly, logic-based point and click that took me about half an hour to play through, at which point I immediately bought the real TING. Lovely stuff.
Ridge Racer Type 4
For all the PS1 games available on PS+ now, this is the only one I’ve felt compelled to go back to so far, in its original form, at least, largely because it’s one of the few stone-cold classics of the era that I don’t think will ever get a remaster. I’m so glad I did though, as it remains an absolutely brilliant game, easily the best Ridge Racer I’ve ever played, and to my mind a high-water mark for arcade racers as a whole. Thanks in some “small” part to the rewind feature on PS5 I’ve also finally seen all of the (sometimes surprisingly affecting) stories too, hence its inclusion here.

TING is great! I played through it a few years back. The Jam Edition is good, but the full version is just something else.
Ridge Racer Type 4 is amazing

I've dropped €4 on this. I have no idea what's going on. Send help. 
(Seriously though, no tutorial and it's full of jargon, they could have at least tried to explain what's going on)

Katamari Damacy - The first one on PS2 specifically. Yeah I had a blast with this, the final mission where you get 25 minutes to roll a ball starting from small items off the ground to eventually being big enough to roll up skyscrapers was super good and they lead you up to it pretty well over the course of the game by giving you smaller goals that just hint at the scope you are going to be shooting for.
Minor complaints, controls are sometimes awkward and your massive ball of random shit can get lodged in small gaps. Curious to know how the PSP game controlled with one analog.
Edit: not a complaint but while I think progression was good in this game and they had some good alternative objectives like 'collect all crabs' I am excited to see if the sequels really go out there with the concept
PSP Katamari ignores the stick and gives you control with the eight face buttons. It works fine but I remember my thumbs getting sore.
