Hi everybody, how are you? Hope everything is fine.

There is some time since I want to write something here, but I had a busy life. Now, I’m still busy, but I’ve managed my schedule to make room to play a little.

During my playtime I’ve aimed to play unfinished games that I had pending from years ago, so I took them again, and this time I finished them. Also put some new games in the middle to spicy my gaming experience.

Recently, I’ve finished four games, incredible. Let’s review them it in few words:

Half-Life 2

AWAKE - Definitive Edition

0.6 hours
13 of 13 achievements

Short story about escaping the loop of your own death, you have several solutions, and the graphic style gives a classic horror movie atmosphere, although this would be more like a thriller.

Now it's free, it's a short game, it took me 38 minutes to complete it 100%, but it's worth playing. Recommended

Half-Life 2

Clam Man

2.4 hours
15 of 15 achievements

Graphic adventure with strong reminiscences to the graphic adventures of the MS - DOS era. Both the humour and the sounds used are reminiscent of that era.

Clam Man has been fired from the company, but he is not sure why and things happen that make him start to suspect his ex-boss, so he decides to investigate until he finds the truth. Point & click graphic adventure, it's short, it lasted me about 2 hours, but it's full of humour, they even have a couple of SPECTACULAR songs. Maybe with a certain age (if you're from before 1990) you'll enjoy it more because you'll understand more references, but it's good to pass the time.

Half-Life 2

Treasure of Nadia

35.7 hours
no achievements

Adult visual novel mixed with Indiana Jones-style themes (artifacts, archaeology, adventure, dangers), except instead of Indiana, you have a few good-looking women to assist you (and other "issues"). Be warned, it's deceiving, you'll get into the game for the women, but the story, and the puzzles, are really engaging.

Half-Life 2

The Final Station

27.2 hours
23 of 23 achievements

After several attempts and leaving it halfway through, despite liking it, this time I managed to finish it. Action and survival game, known by everyone in BLAEO, in which you rescue survivors and drive a train in the middle of the Apocalypse. To do this you will have to face monsters, of different types, and go through different scenarios until you are "safe".

I also did the DLC, it's similar to the original story, but in each scenario you search for gas, food and water to keep going. You will also encounter survivors, but you can only take one with you. I found it repetitive to get all the achievements, as it's finishing the DLC with all the survivors, or none, and the scenarios are the same.

The original is better than the DLC, but both are enjoyable. Recommended.

Currently I am playing other games, you can see them on my playing list, but I am near of finish two more: Danganronpa 2 & Dusk Diver.

Also I’ve reduced my boughts, got new games because my friends, family, girlfriend… gifted them for birthday, anniversary and all that stuff…Also I am unlocking some pending keys, but little by little. In the past I bought a lot of bundles, but I am usually interested on few games of them. I will see what to do with the rest (I have a list for trading here if you have curiosity, for example, but I’m updating it little by little, both tradable and whished games).

If you read to here, thanks for read me. You are a great person!

Hope everything is fine. Will be back with some finished games more, I hope. My backlog is big, but it does not mind I can not reduce it a little.

Have a nice day/night and a nice gaming.

Idk a little over 1000 games is not to much :P

Good job on the games. Will you be looking out for the sequel to clam man?

Aiori

Yes, I thought it was released but I saw that not yet. For the first I did not have high expectations, then it was a pleasant one.
