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. 

I finished the main story of Ni No Kuni II. I kept going for a good long while after that too, wracking up about 60 hours of gameplay but ultimately stopped when a sale for Dragon Quest XI happened. I'm back into that now, probably for the rest of the month. Darn these games are long. 

It's all Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom - Prince's Edition on my Xbox Series S right now. I am hooked like a Sega Bass Fishing Bass. 

I never thought I'd be looking back at the Xbox One and needing it, but I finally found some games I can only play there. I can get one for $100 too, which is a nice price for a console. 

With such game lists as I have, I was surprised to not stick to anything until I hit a RPG on list three.
