BLAEO — Backlog Assassins Extraordinaire

Mostly completed or played - August 2026

- Kill the shadow, probably my 2nd favorite indie this year, a rich and interconnected story, plenty of well written NPC, hidden masterpiece for sure !
- I had received Star wars squadrons from a friend years ago. Too late my fault as it was a mostly multiplayer game, but i still could finish the solo campaign.

August/September theme - All Things GREAT and small

- Finished Hand of fate Hordes ! I thought the studio was very dead after Hand of fate 2, but they managed to come back and release a spin-off. I’ve mixed feelings about this one. Amazing ambiance and sound effects, the power ascending is exhilarating. But it’s also extremely hard, damn grindy to get the permanent upgrades, and it needs serious balancing.

- Tailor Simultator - proof last outfit available actually Nice idea, i had a lot of fun exploring the machines and clothing patterns. But the further you progress, the more grindy it gets. I hired 2 assistants who sewed on their own to help me, didn't quite understand how to make the most of them, but in any case, it worked. Though the 1 million $ and 7.000 popularity points still look crazy far away. Some of the fabrics are really pretty, i really like the ones used for the dresses. But i wish we could use a thread different from the fabric. Also while the cutting system is actually pretty good, it's sad that you can't design and sew your own patterns. A faster, more user-friendly interface would also be extremely welcome. Maybe in the future as it's still on early-access ?
- Golden Lap - proof ending text Good arcade game, much more accessible for those who don't know well F1 or don't want to devote oneself to a simulation with lots of complicated parameters. It's fun to manage the tires based on the weather, and learn when to speed up or slow down. After some years it becomes very grindy. 10 races per year on 10 years, that's quite a lot ! But it's still a nice experience to see the team progress and get so many victories. As a note, it's a weird game because there are so many dead and accidents, fortunately not so many in real F1 !
