Last game you beat

[GameWizard001]

First game of the year, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. It got really hard at the end, I have no idea how I beat it as a kid.

I bought the hd version of that game this year and I was dreading that final battle because before I always failed it no matter how well prepared I was, I was just not strong enough. This time around I leveled up as much as my patience allowed it and that fight was surprisingly challenging but not so much that I didn't have fun. And I beat it.

I think as kids we play games that are really challenging and sometimes impossible for us to beat but then we go back later as an adult when our skills to play video games has drastically improved (one hopes) and wonder why we struggled so much with something to begin with. I had that moment with the end fight for Legend of the Dragoon on the PS1. That fight takes at least 30 minutes because it is like 3-4 stages before you beat the Boss.

To carry on the KH conversation, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Repliku, Axel, and Larxene. at the end of the game. These guys were hard to beat when I was a kid (to the point that I never beat Axel). I lost the cart growing up and bought it again recently. I played though the whole game and they only took me a handful of times to beat. These are meant to be "that one boss" of the game right? That being said, I'm stuck on Marluxia. This is only half the game too, so I feel really pumped to move on to Reverse/Rebirth.

For me Marluxia was the hardest boss, it took me at least a dozen tries to beat him at the end and only I think by sheer luck and perseverance did I win. His one attack that can knock out all your cards was a pain, I spent too much time trying to dodge and collect my cards that he kept landing a blow on me.

Getting Riku's side of the game was far easier. After I beat them both I just watched the cutscene library to see the story just because as fun as this game is, it isn't one for those who are not patient like me.
