Hello fellow assassins;

This time I continued with the ABC challenge, which I think I’m almost halfway through.

Letter K: Kathy Rain

I finished this game, even when I didn’t want to finish it. The first half of this point and click
adventure is very good. Sweet nostalgic old graphics, interesting detective-like story, likable
premise… But the ending was some paranormal-psychological bullshit that I think didn’t fit the game.
I expended the last half an hour of the game wishing for the pain to finish. I can feel the love that was
put into this game and I can appreciate the effort, but as we have seen many other times, bad or
incoherent endings hurt a story badly. As a fan of Point and Click, I wouldn’t recommend this game,
the latter half destroyed the game for me.

FINAL SCORE: 4/10 – MEDIOCRE

Letter S: Sniper Ghost Warrior 2

Let’s start saying that this game doesn’t have the best reviews. I found it a quite generic FPS game,
but a reasonable entertaining one. The sniping tactics that you use most of the game make it a bit
different. Beware that lower difficulties have a little red circle pointing the impact place for the
bullets, and this makes the sniping trivial. Other than that, and the game’s age, it was an
unremarkable but entertaining game to pass a few hours. Would recommend only if you already
have it or can get it on sale.

FINAL SCORE: 6/10 – ABOVE AVERAGE

Letter O: Ori and the Blind Forest
This game is good, very good. Not only it is BEAUTIFUL, but the controls are almost perfect,
something critical in platformers, and the skill array varied and interesting. The game is challenging
and some parts can be a bit difficult, but it never felt unfair. Saving mechanic was very unique, as you
can save anywhere, but need energy for it, which can be a scarce resource in some of the more
complicated areas, so you need to choose whether to save or try pushing a bit longer before saving,
risking it all.
Probably the best game of this genre I’ve played in a lot of years. Very recommended.

FINAL SCORE: 9/10 AMAZING

Letter J: Jet Set Radio
It seems like this was a very good game, but it’s a not very good port. I tried it a bit, and didn’t like
the controls, like at all. Note that if you play with a controller this might very well be a very fun game.
But I don’t use controllers, only mouse+keyboard and maybe driving wheel fot ETS2 in the future. I won’t give
it any score, as I didn’t play enough to know it.

Instead of this I chose to play one of my installed games at random, and it was the turn for:

Letter J (Again): Submerged

I kind of liked this game. Is quite simple, your character has to climb different tall buildings in search
of long forgotten supplies in a post-apocalyptic world where everything is… well… submerged in
water. Soundtrack is superb, and it’s a chilling game to spend a couple of hours with. Is also very
short. The main problem with it is the repetitivness, and the end. I won’t spoil it, but it doesn’t make any sense within
everything previously shown about this world.

FINAL SCORE: 5/10 – DECENT

Letter F: Freedom Planet

This game reminded me a lot about old sonic games. It was overly well built and fun to play. Difficulty in normal or higher settin is hard, especially the bosses, but it’s a rewarding game to finish.

*FINAL SCORE: 6/10 - ABOVE AVERAGE

And that’s all, I leave you with the farm alphabet!
