1.) Grim Legends: The forsaken bride
It was ok the first time around. Not so much the second, or the third, or the fourth. If you play it without any mistakes, you should be able to finish it within two tries. If you make a mistake though, you need to restart the entire game. It was ok the first time, everything else was just horrible. The story was unnecessarily long, you would not BELIEVE the work I had to do to put out a freakin candle. For gods sake, I had to make a water squirty thing from SCRATCH, rather than just licking my fingers and sucking it up. The amount of effort you need to put in to do simple, SIMPLE things, drove me insane, and probably increased the whole story line by a solid 2 hours and thirty minutes. Honestly, I would not recommend this at all. I get it, it’s a HOG, but HOLY **. The THINGS I had to do just to do something so stupid. There in an entire chapter area of you attempting to get through a door when there is a BROKEN WALL/ WINDOW RIGHT THERE FOR GODS SAKE CLIMB THROUGH IT. Instead I had to go to this room, grab this, the next room, do that, do stupid elaborate things and just CLIMB THROUGH THE WINDOW. On the bright side, this is the first game I won on steamgifts (that I won a year ago. So, so, sorry. ;w;) which I finally managed to get to. It’s not worth anyone’s time unless you genuinely enjoy HOG’s.

2.)Passpartout: The Starving Artist
This was very, very nice. I really liked the whole idea of the game and how the developers set it out. There are four different endings you can get, (And do the minimalist route first, if you do it last, they are stupid and say you have drawn this before when you swear you haven’t.) Each leading to a different areas to paint. From a creepy alley, a studio, to a skyscraper and a castle, it’s just a nice and lovely relaxing games unless you do the minimalist route last.

3.)Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa’s Rampage
I did this solo and I hate myself for it. I hate myself even more because for some reason I had this, while also having the complete edition, so I have to do this crap all over again. I only recommend this if you are playing with other people, and I am very much against it if you try doing everything solo, as it’s no fun. You clean up body parts and blood and whatever that thing is in the corner.

I don’t like it in games either when they force you to go through some over the top pre-defined solutions, and forget to include the sane ones you would normally do in real life. Most often its just immersion breaking, if not annoying.

The Cleanup Deatail games seem to be divisive - some people love them, some hate them with passion. Maybe if you didn’t try to do the 100% completion, and just goofed around in it, then it would be more fun?

You’ve pretty much summed up my expectations about Viscera cleanup detail: I don’t think I’m ever interested enough to play it. It seems like a game aimed at a group of friends that like to try different co-op games and to have a bit of random fun for a few of game sessions. I can’t see any appealing aspect to play it solo..
