It's been Jackbox every year for the past 8+ years. A side-effect of hosting the New Years Eve party for a bunch of gamers.
Gears 3
System Shock, the remake by Nightdive.
I'm old enough that I bought and played the original SS back in the day, and it was transformative.

Brotato, working on unlocking all the characters
I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.
Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep... It was a good time.
Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?
Animal Crossing New Horizons. Celebrating New Year on the island are part of our new year tradition.
This also makes it the first game played during 2025.
Finished a run in Windblown.
ARAM in League, a shit game to end a shit year.
Partner and I played Mario Kart 8, was quite fun!
My son and I played COD Mobile. Domination at Shipment before my dad arrived. We just got these two assault rifles gold, and we started the grind to diamond. Itβs a fun game, without having to pay to win to enjoy.
Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn't bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too... unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.
Then I started CrossCode and it's been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren't very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their "HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE."
Bloodborne
Technically β Loop on my phone. But the last real game I was playing was Jade Cocoon.
Stalker 2, yesterday π
Genshin Impact just released a new version that for most of the world became playable on Jan 1, but where I live it started several hours before the end of Dec 31.
So that.
Red dead 2
I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.
The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.
