Finnish library Helmet has created a gaming challenge for 2025. There are 24 criteria to fill and here’s my tracking for which games I’ve played for it.
Original: Helmet Game Challenge 2025 | | helmet.fi
I’ve decided to only allow game once on a list so finishing the list requires 24 distinct games. This includes the franchise rule so a game represents its full franchise (with exception for clear spinoff games like Mario Party and Super Mario Bros. 3 are distinct but Ocarina of Time and Tears of the Kingdom are the same).
Once I’ve played a game for the category, I’ll link to my thoughts on the game and I’ll update those as I play through the game.
