Another update

And another batch of games beaten. Small summary below:

AER Memories of Old

5.9 hours, 20 of 20 achievements

Flight exploration with absolutely stunning graphics and a decent story. I was afraid that the controls would be frustrating, as is sometimes the case with flight games. However the controls are brilliant, this game was really put together extremely well. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a relaxing flight game.


A Case of Distrust

1.1 hours, 8 of 10 achievements

Gorgeous noir detective visual novel. Set in the 1920s, you're a female detective trying to solve a murder case 😱 It's short, but in the good kind of way. Will probably come back to it to finish up the remaining achievements.


The Darkside Detective

Oh man, I had so much fun with this P&C! You play as a detective solving various (supernatural) cases. Ever wanted to have a chat with H.P. Lovecraft? Well then, why let his death hold you back? 😋 The pixelated graphics look amazing. The humor is spot on. Definitely recommended to P&C fans out there. Don't expect too much depth though.


Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest

1.3 hours, 19 of 38 achievements

Another visual novel. Great visuals. Great story. It does have multiple endings, warranting multiple playthroughs; though they aren't very long. Depending on your choices you will have to manage your traits such as rage, willower and health. These will serve as conditions for certain outcomes.

Oh look, another visual novel 😂 Another pretty short game, I clocked in a little under 3 hours. The game's told in a playful/childish way, however the story unfolds into something that's anything but childish. The game has much more depth than the screenshots will give away, and I liked the hand-drawn animations. Wouldn't pay €10 for it though, the game offers far too little to justify the price tag in my opinion.


NEOVERSE

JRPG/card game/roguelike hybrid. You build decks, use the right card combination and specialization trees. For me this was a refreshing sight, can't remember when I last played a game like this - if ever? You can easily sink many hours into it, especially if like me you're pretty bad at these type of games or you simply enjoy all the different builds you can create. It took me 9 hours to beat the game, I blame RNG lol, but there's an achievement for beating it under 30 minutes so speed runs should be very possible.


Skully

6.5 hours, 11 of 29 achievements

Pretty fun puzzle-platformer/pinball hybrid. I liked the humor, it has decent voice-acting and for anyone who's into it: brutal, undying achievements and lots of collectibles. I've seen people finish the game in 4 hours, but despite me doing my best I clocked in at 6.5 so take the times with a pinch of salt because it all depends on your skill level for these type of games. For me though, the game got pretty frustrating after halfway due to repetitive puzzles and the sometimes shoddy controls leading to your death. Luckily there are a lot of checkpoints, so you're never set back too far away.

wanted to check how much time i got on skully and its 16.1. At least with the undying achievements you can cheat it by going to title screen before dying and it will count. a few of those collectibles did trick me like the one with the water sis. Stupid ledge couldnt be jumped back on so as soon as I went past and realised i had no chance to get back up. During the wind lvls was when that cheat really came in, fling me off the edge? ha no problem

Whoosh

Oh damn! You 100%’d it??? I bow to you 🙇‍♂️

That’s a great tip. Not going to bother however, because the amount of times I died falling off the map as Skully would drive me in-sane!

I hated the ones where you needed to move multiple blocks with one part of you on it. I hated those parts and just gave up trying to brute force it all. I really did enjoy the game but seriously without that little menu cheat I would’ve freaked out

Congrats on all of your assassinations! I Loved AER! Always nice to have a relaxing game to play, especially in between games and you need a cool-down.
