MH is still hanging. Getting that DLC was certainly a blunder. :p BoO and Dreamscaper are almost done, just finishing last extra tasks. Vagante did surprise me with its difficulty. Playing it in co-op and it is brutal at places. Shopkeepers are scary. Next month (hopefully) pushes multiple games to the green.

It is not a very good game. Story/humor is kinda wonky (trying with old British style) and combat doesn't feel satisfying. Puzzles were alright. In co-op it passes, like a B grade movie.

Congratulations on your assassination!!! “Shopkeepers are scary” gave me Pokemon Mystery dungeon flashbacks. What game was your favorite out of this month? Guessing MH? What kind of games are you planning, or not planning, for Spooktober? Tempted to sneak something like INFRA into my game list. Looking forward to your next post!

They really hate you if you steal. Prepare to be marked for the rest of your life (run). :p Bit hard to say which one was my favorite. Bounty of One was surprisingly fun in co-op despite being quite simple. MH started to feel like chore at that point. Only few games keep gameplay that interesting after 50 hours.

Did not participate to Spooktober. Wouldn’t have had time for it, though I did take part in Inktober (art, not gaming related). Did you play scary games during this season? :)

Sorta not really? I’m a coward but I did play ENIGMA: a game with lots of bad ends and a healthy amount of gore!

Sounds like you had bloody good time!

Horror games aren’t really my cup of tea. Some of them are great and one can do wonderful things with gameplay (e.g. breaking rules of reality) but they tend to rely on cheap jump scares too much. On the other hand, I find slow, creeping horror stories to be too boring now that I think about it. Perhaps I am just hard to please with this one?
