January is the first month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and one of seven months with the length of 31 days. The first day of the month is known as New Year's Day. It is, on average, the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of winter) and the warmest month of the year within most of the Southern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer). In the Southern hemisphere, January is the seasonal equivalent of July in the Northern hemisphere and vice versa.

    Games I played in January:

    Yakuza: Like A Dragon - PS5
    SpoilerI had a fantastic time with this game throughout 2024, and finished it at the beginning of January. It's the first Yakuza game I have completed, and it's made me want to go back and play the earlier games. I obviously I gotta try out Infinite Wealth

    Metaphor: ReFantazio - PS5
    SpoilerI played a few hours of this and it didn't really grab me. I completed the prologue, but haven't been back to it since. I knew nothing about it beyond the fact that it was essentially fantasy Persona and that some people regard it as one of the best rpgs of recent years. But I couldn't gel with the medieval setting and I swear if I hear thou or thy one more time, I am going to rip my ears off. Maybe it's because I live in the UK, but knights and castles aren't fantastical enough for me, because I can walk into any museum and see them. I want my fantasy to actually be fantastical. Anyway, I will come back to it eventually, but not anytime soon

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - PS4
    SpoilerI'm not entirely sure what inspired me to play this, but I had fun revisiting my first ever Final Fantasy. It's hilariously easy now that I'm not a kid, but I still love the characters and setting. There are so many memorable set pieces in this game, and I look forward to them all. I've taken a break for now but I will pick it back up again

    There Is No Game - Android
    SpoilerAn entertaining narrator-driven game that I enjoyed my time playing. It was pretty humorous and although simple, it kept my attention for the evening it took to finish it. I don't often play mobile games, but I am glad I found this one

    The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe - PS5
    SpoilerAfter playing 'There Is No Game' I wanted another narrator-driven experience and as luck would have it, The Stanley Parable was recently added to PSPlus. I have played the original before and had a fun time with it. This version isn't massively different, but the new additions made me chuckle. Who knew there was so much fun to be had with a bucket. I played it for the majority of a day and got as many endings as I could. A fun experience that definitely scratched an itch

    Astro's Playroom - PS5
    SpoilerWith all the hype surrounding Astro Bot, I decided that I should finally get around to playing Astro's Playroom. I had dabbled in it when I first got my PS5, but never put any real time into it. I had a lot of fun with this and played through till I got the Platinum, which didn't take long. It's a fun nostalgia trip that has a lot of charm. I'll definitely play Astro Bot at some point when it drops in price.

    Tales of Arise - PS5
    [spoiler]After becoming frustrated by Metaphor ReFantazio I decided to try another jrpg series. I have dabbled in the 'Tales of' series in the past, with 'Graces F' and 'Abyss' but have never really stuck with them despite really enjoying 'Graces F'. Well this entry grabbed me right away and I have played about 8 hours or so. The combat is fun, and the art style appeals to my sensibilities. So far the two leads seem well acted, and I'm eagerly looking forward to playing more

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla - PS5
    SpoilerI have Assassin's Creed Shadows on pre-order, and I was feeling bad about not having finished the previous titles, so I decided to give Valhalla another chance. I previously put 20+ hours into the game, but was frustrated by the stamina system and pointless bird mechanic. I am playing from the beginning on super baby difficulty, which makes the combat feel a lot more like the PS3 titles. That is A-okay with me, as I hated the combat the first time I played the game. I've only just reached the title screen (typically about 5 hours into an Assassin's Creed game), but I am in no real rush, as Shadows isn't out for a while.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - PS5
    SpoilerI got jealous of all the PC fans posting their screenshots and experiences of the game online and decided to replay this fantastic game. It was easily my favourite game of last year, and truthfully it has become my favourite game of all time. I am about 12 hours or so into it and having just as much fun as the first time round. Having an open world adventure where I never even have to look at the map or quest markers is such a breath of fresh air. I love wandering the environment, and being organically led to quests by the level design and visual cues. Rebirth to me is two games in one. You have the main story-focused nostalgia trip, and you also have an entirely optional open-world adventure game added on for free. I love both these elements and will realistically play this game through to completion again

      Editing … I finished Enderal at the start of the month, but most of my playtime was over like three months in 2024. Then I played The Beginner's Guide, Entropy: Zero, replayed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, then Entropy: Zero 2, and now I'm replaying Sleeping Dogs. I dropped Rage 2 shortly after starting it. It's just another generic grind. Shadow of Mordor wasn't as fun as I remembered, perhaps in part because Shadow of War so overshadowed it, or perhaps because I wasted more time on tracking down collectibles.

      Editing … A bit of a reverse situation on AC Valhalla, I ended up cranking the difficulty all the way up in order to bring the combat more in line with my expectations (including tuning incoming and outgoing damage as much in the enemy's favor as possible), and I still found it insufferably easy. Just loathed that game. Can't stand the repetitive grind of that kind of open world anymore.
