One of the nerdest games I've ever played. The world looks like pretty much Tron-esque and I like Tron. It's a strategy game but it's also kinda like a witnessing a creation of a God game. This is a digital world created by a man and we're aiding him to rescue his world from virus corruption.

You might have a hard time learning the basics of the game since it's quite different and unique but the tutorial walks you pretty good. If you like Tron and generally 80's computing aesthetics, this game will be a nice journey for you. I enjoyed it a lot. It has a nice nerd humour too.

Multiplayer version of Darwinia that focused on battles but sadly no one plays it. There is an AI skirmish mode and obviously it’s kinda dull. Though the multiplayer with humans would be super fun.

I played at least one map from each game mode. It’s very chaotic, chaotically fun. Limited without humans though.

Nice little VN that gives you some nice touristic information about Japan. It was already cute but I found the ecchi scenes unnecessary.

Never learned Assembly and apparently this game is a visual version of it. :)
There are a lot of brain teasing puzzles and I have to admit that had to look for optimal solutions for some puzzles since they were quite hard.

I left this game at the final boss fight and now I remember why I left it, it’s a bullet hell. It seems I’m better at bullet hells now but I still don’t like them. The game is normally a platformer by the way. But it’s a some form of Cat Mario, so get ready to pull your hairs if you ever decide to play it. :P

Also left this at the final puzzle. It was hard back then and it still is. Real brain teaser, or should I say a brain taser. :)

Only two worlds left but I cannot go further anymore. I tried my best and it was not enough. It was fun while it lasts though.

You might find this interesting but somehow this was more fun to me than the reboots. Maybe it’s the nostalgia but this is how I remember Tomb Raider. Terrible controls though. Kinda unplayable with a controller and had to remap default buttons because they suck.

Finally finished this though I like almost every form of Final Fantasy so I like playing them without trying to finishing them, at least the old ones. This battle system is my favourite, classic turn-based and no additional mumbo-jumbo. Quite grindy but even grinding is fun in FF. The last 6 boss fights without a save point was too much. Thanks to not enough grinding, I had to learn a maze-like dungeon (Flashbacks to Ys I&II).

Without a guide, I would go crazy though. Good game, can run on a potato.

This is a one long tower defense game. Started this in 2015 and finally beat it. Horror - TD, what a mock-up.

Quite grindy but even grinding is fun in FF.

I still can’t fathom what madman decided to put the Jack of All Trades achievement in.

It’s at 2.4% too, quite high if you ask me. I didn’t even finish the game with 4x 99 level jobs.

And then there are people who go 4 onion knight runs, that’s beyond madness.

Congratulations on your assassinations!! ᓚᘏᗢ
Woah, some of these looked pretty hard. FF in particular looks pretty cute, although I’ve never been one for the series.
What are you thinking of playing in May?

Mitsukuni

Thank you :3
Well, Super Meat Boy was really hard. Actually I was doing kinda fine until the difficulty has spiked.
Eryi’s Action is all about building a short-term memory, basically you learn by dying. Quite fun though. :)
Old FF games are pretty cute and fun, I think pixel remasters would be a nice entry. You can always go for more recent ones too since every one of them has different stories. My personal favourite is FF X.

For May, I haven’t really decided but I was started to play King’s Bounty: The Legend so will continue to that. I really want to finish Higurashi 8th chapter this month. Maybe I can throw Megadimension too.
