I got to 35 hack 'n' slash games in March. The early ones go quick and some later ones just stopped me dead at some point with confusing mission objectives, difficult mechanics or some other dumb thing I couldn't stand. I have been trying to stick to each game as long as I can, pushing beyond my limits. I'll try even harder next month. There's nothing like actually finishing a game. I think I finished exactly 6 of these - all mentioned below.

The month is basically over, and so I'm wrapping up my hack 'n' slash games and getting ready to start my platform game theme for April. Here's the last stuff I played this week. 

I’ve been on a stop motion animation and Wallace and Gromit kick lately, thanks to watching the new movie on Netflix a month or so ago and playing new games and DLC based on the franchise.  So I declared last week to be Wallace and Gromit Week at GamerDad!  We looked at their movies, shorts, and games, so please click on the links and read them, too!  So grab your cheese and crackers and let’s begin!

I've been away far too long. Where'd everybody go? Now that I'm in a better headspace, I'm hoping to be back to blogging regularly. Maybe we can lure some of the others back. Anyway...

Played this week. 

I can't resist. My April is going to be themed around Console Generation 4, which is Genesis, SNES and Game Boy (just to name the most popular systems). I want to explore platformers, but ones that have more than just straight 2D jumping/running challenges. I like exploration and a lot of action and so the "action-platformer" genre seems right for me. But, I'm also choosing platform games that I've always been interested in trying. Here's the list I have so far. 

In this post, I play some of the hack 'n' slash games after the Genesis/SNES era. 

I found a few more NES era games in the hack 'n' slash genre and I'll retell what I've played so far in the Genesis/SNES era. 

This is your lucky day!  I’ve got more game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

There are a lot, so I may save some to mention later. The earliest of the games either didn't grab me, which means I only played them for 15 minutes or so, or they did, in which case I beat them in about an hour. I found some more of them than I mentioned before by cruising through collections too. I'm being pretty arbitrary strict in my choices: it has to say "hack 'n' slash" in the game's description or as part of the genre on wikipedia. So here's what I played (most of it) this week.
