I'm still working out my 2025 plan of going through the console generations month to month. However, I recently started thinking about game genre's, ones I like and one's I'm curious about. So I'm starting to work them into the schedule, featuring a specific genre per generation. Here's what I got so far, subject to change of course. 

I finished Mass Effect Andromeda and switched consoles to PS4. After playing a few games there, I settled on Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. I am now going to battle bugs for the rest of the month. 

I've played 55 hours now in Mass Effect: Andromeda. The missions seem endless but I think I'm coming towards the end of them. I think I aught to tackle the main story again soon, but I'm having fun hearing all the side stories and interacting with the characters, sometimes to the point of romance. 

I'm playing games from 2019-2021 this month (after I finish with ME: Andromeda), and so this is my 2020 list of favorities and ones I'd like to play if I get the time. The list is in order of release. It's as if these were the games I bought day-one - some, yes, but most no.

I've come up with a 2025 plan for my gaming. The goal is to put the entire history of video games into 12 parts so I can travel in time over the course of the year (I do this for music and literature as well). Here's what I came up with. 

I'm 25 hours into Mass Effect Andromeda. I've stopped the main quest to do side quests because it seems I'm about to take on The Archon, which might be the final boss run. I'm building settlements and bonding with teammates. I especially like flying around in space, viewing all the astronomical objects. Roaming around in the Nomad planetside is fun too. My only issue is nav points being confusing on certain planets and missions. It seems better to just ignore them sometimes. I'm enjoying all the side stories, character development and random dialog and text you come across. It's a good time. 

It's November and another shift to a new range of years I want to focus on in gaming. This month is 2019-2021. Nothing special about that, just 3 years in the history of gaming. I guess you could say the transition to our current consoles: Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in 2020 (Switch out since 2017). 

Playing Mass Effect Andromeda, long play. I am rather hooked on it again. This time I intend to go all the way with it. I'm ignoring most of the side missions I got sidetracked on the last few times. I'd like to see the main story play out for once. I'm enjoying it.

Those epic RPGs shot me down. I couldn't take it any more. Neither could I take my rediculous listomania. I was totally overwelmed and so dove into some lighter, shorter fair and found some cool games. Check, check, check it out (to the sound of the Beastie Boys song with those words). 

Can't stop, won't stop. This is my playlist for upcoming November. Recipe: open Metacritic. Limit it to the years 2019-2021. Go from highest to lowest ranked, choosing games I want to play or replay.
