VIDEO GAMES
2023 saw me take a slight step back in gaming. Similar to Streets of Rage 4 the previous year, Mayhem Brawler is another beat-em up game which I played multiple times as I went for specific character trophies. Some games on this list are part of a combined packaged release but the reason I count them separately is because they were originally released separately. This list will include the year the games originally released and the console played on. Bold = first time finished of either the game, console version or specific DLC.
