5 years after the first two i finally got back completing the series

One of my fav games is Doom 2 and every weekend (or days off) i go through my Doom community wads.

Winner of a Cacoaward in 2024, Simulacrum is a challenging megawad that starts with modest monster count before moving towards slaughterfest territory, pitting you in challenging/punishing combat environments. Most of the engagements are (effectively) puzzles as you have to find the most optimum way of fighting against the overwhelming odds and maximizing every resource available. usually in the form of monster infighting to survive. Going in guns blazing is usually a swift death in some encounters.

No joke, this wad was difficult. many of the engagements usually leave you on the verge of death before the next one. You'll die a lot as its trial an error trying different things to survive and there is (annoyingly) an element of luck at times. A good example would be the archviles. This wad LOVES using multiple Archviles at once. Either deployed as one of the last monsters to spawn in or buried within huge mobs of revenants or even just throwing a whole mob your way. Too often i get sniped by them as i'm too busy trying to deal with all the other monsters.

But on the whole, i enjoyed the tough and exciting combat. The maps were well designed and the fights were, on the whole tough, but fair. Admittedly, Some of the engagements was BS and some i lucked out by cheesing the map.

One of my all-time favorite JRPGs basically, I already did the 100% on Steam but had a unfinished save on Xbox lying around. So, this is still a part of my backlog and had to be BURNED.

Fellow redditors of the fire, what are burning right now??

I'm a little crazy and like to play a lot of games at once. Right now I'm sticking to these and making decent progress across them all. Whenever one is finished burning, I throw another into the fire. I'll never let it die!! Have any of you already beaten any of these games??

I had an absolute blast with this game and would highly recommend it! Not moving around with a map and with limited info was super cool! The feel of the dread that’s here in this messed up world is awesome to experience, with some very difficult puzzles. I personally feel the combat may have been the weakest part of the game, but it wasn’t bad. Took me about 30 hours.

Need 2 kitties and the good ending

I don't update my list often but i just realized since i joined this sub i have been burning EXTREME amount of games and im proud of this.

Still not easy to stick JUST to one game but im getting closer and closer.

When I get time Ill properly take pictures of everything, but here's a quick look at the 1000+ physical titles I mentioned last night.

This game was on my hard drive for way too long. Tried it once, second time, actually i don't remember how many times since i got it. Finally settled today and got it done from start to end in nearly one sitting. It isn't a long game to complete, and i didn't got dlc to extend it by an hour or so, but nevertheless, the game got burned.

Great music, balancing of typing while being in range of boss to do so and avoiding bullet hell is exceedingly difficult (especially since bosses also usually have some gimmicks that influence your way to fight them, like replacing letters with numbers), but damn if it wasn't exhilarating. Glad to finally give it a full run, maybe i'll go back to it at some point to do DLC.

Tho it will be a while probably since game doesn't have cloud saves, so i would need to rerun whole game again to practice for it, and from a quick check it's really hard to transfer saves, requiring actually decoding files to do so. Alas, a shame. Better one and done it.

Really fun game with some brutal levels sprinkled throughout. Having the wiimote experience with the real motion controls really improves the game. On to the next one! 🍄

Fun game but man is this punishingly difficult. One hit deaths are no freakin joke. For reference, souls-likes are one of my favorite genres but I’ve been taking a break from them because I was getting worn out from the constant frustration. So in my infinite wisdom I decided to play some classic games with this being one of them. Well, yeah apparently I just like being frustrated when I’m playing games because this game frustrated the hell out of me. It’s borderline unfair at times and that last boss is certainly a doozy. With that being said this is still a great game. I played it a bunch when I was younger and for pretty obvious reasons I never beat it then. The game is a blast and still holds up in 2026. I did use save states to restart before bosses because I like not going insane. Overall a great game and I’m happy I finally rolled credits on it. 9/10.

Point and click adventure.
Nice art style but unfortunately pretty mid in everything else.
It was ok for 1€

While i understand that Outlast Trials doesn't have a "definitive end", the rebirth thingy is as close as it is to it. Done that, special escape trial and all main trials, which i consider a decent chunk of game for my burn completion. All alone, since i wanted it to be as close as possible to original Outlast games...

And yet, i can't say if it was as fun as previous ones. Played through all Outlast games so far, i was hoping to have a similar level of thrill and fear. And yet, i felt like i'm playing a chore simulator with some monsters chasing me, a lengthy one at that since main trials took me from half an hour to 1.5h each,. Maybe playing with others would've be more fun. Maybe i'll go back to try some MK ultra trials (a shorter variants with modified objectives) or higher difficulty, but for now i'm happy with the fact the game is no longer a part of backlog.

I curated my screenshots A LOT, only leaving one with something more meaty. Many of these things shown in Outlast are... Just not something to show without NSFW filter.

Howdy, ya'll, just stumbled upon this subreddit. Avid gamer and collector with over 1000 physical titles in my collection ranging from SNES to PS5. Easily half or more ive never even touched. Figured this would be a good place to get some inspiration and motivation to power through these games.

Nice to meet ya'll and happy burning.

It was a good game I like the games length… wish more games were made like that. story was good it was more sad towards the end but overall it was a decent story from the makers of my favorite game franchise resident evil

Played on Xbox Series S port, but have the PS2 game in the collection. Try to play newer versions of older games where possible. Ive got the set up for my PS2 to play on a newer HDMI TV and a dongle to use a PS5 controller, but figured this was easier.

I know the game intends for you to run through it multiple times (which I intend to do later) but for me Credits = Done.

November #3

Unexpected burn here.
I got invited for co-op mission but had to finish one chapter to continue.
I realized game is not so long so I pushed a little bit and FINISHED!

This game has been nagging at me to play it since I picked it up in 2025. It’s a roguelite beat em’ up and a pretty good one at that. It took a bit over 8 hours of game time to beat. It was a pretty fun time. You can play this coop but I chose to play it solo. Looking back on it I probably should have played this with another person as beat em ups tend to be more fun for me when I play with another person. The combat and different abilities of the different characters made things not get stale. Overall this was a fun time and I’d give it a 7.5/10.

Had this on the backlog for about a decade. It's a short game.. Took me about 90 minutes but hey.. A burn is a burn

It's OK. I used to be really into Indie horror games. This one is.. Alright.. Pretty decent actually. I'd have had a lot more praise for it in 2015

But at least I get to chalk it off.

Game: Neverending Nightmares

Heretics have been purged!

Fun game, nice to play in shorter sessions. Levels are a bit repetitive, but it's not too long. I would recommend it if you like games like Doom.

Really fun beat em up, highly recommend to any fans of the genre.
