Finished in December (1-4)
Work, work, work. I like my job, but there are times when I just don’t have time for anything. So I didnt finish any games in November. But now I can play a bit again, so I finished 4 games. Including one completely massive and completely awesome.
Majotori
7/10
Nice little trivia game, in which you have to answer questions correctly to fulfill characters’ wishes. And if you fail - they will also fail in amusing way. Cute concept, I finished all of the stories, I just wish after finishing the game I could replay some parts instead of playing the whole thing again.
Nexomon
6/10
It’s a Pokemon clone and it is proud of this fact. If you like Pokemon, you should like this. A few problems I had - the main story was just stupid. Especially the beginning - it reminded me of bad RPG session - you must go and defeat bad guy because REASONS. I also had a few problems with interface (checking which Poke… i mean Nexomons you are missing is not very user friendly) and the game is incredibly easy (I had the same problem with Digimons, so maybe it’s a general problem with this genre). But all in all - it was a nice time killer.
Hades
9/10
Hades… yea, it’s Hades. You heard about it. It’s awesome. The story, the characters the mechanics, the characters, the graphics, the characters…. Supergiants games are all very good and this one is just brilliant. I beat the whole main story, but I have a feeling I will go back to it from time to time - there are some random events I haven’t seen yet.
Call of the Sea
8/10
What a nice little adventure game. I will call it “easy Myst” - the riddles and feeling of the story are very “Mysty”, but it’s not very difficult. The plot is kinda Lovecraftian, but it’s not scary - more like eerie from time to time - which I admire- I don’t like jumpscares. It also has very pretty art style, the plot is revealing in nice pace - it’s just a very well made little adventure game.
Thanks for the review. I’ve added Call of the Sea to my wishlist.
Just yesterday I watched a streamer present their top games of 2020 and Call of the Sea was one of them. Never heard of the game before, but it looks really decent. Funny coincidence that I see a post about it right the day after :D
Hope work leaves you with enough time to play games in 2021! Even a job you like can suck when you have no time to unwind…
