Weekly Update #2

I beat only two games this week, none of them legit in BLAEO standards. One is profile features limited, the other non-steam. This is mostly due to me playing Hollow Knight whenever I had time, and that game does take a lot of time. Between getting stuck in the map and dying over and over, I progressed little and wasted a lot of time. It’s fun though!

Beaten/Completed

I’m not very fond of this game. It did have a very reasonable price, but even with that, I felt like it was just not worth it. To be fair, it does have fairly good graphics, but it’s such a short game that it just left a sour taste in my mouth. (I probably should’ve checked the average time people played this before purchasing–my bad.)

It’s not a bad game, but there’s simply not much to do in it. A couple of clicks, a couple of maybe-time-consuming achievements–other than that, there’s only one thing: Work Hard Simulator (or maybe Hard Work Simulator?). It’s basically a clicking contest–you’re trying to get as much clicks as possible before you fail. It even has 5 achievements! I only managed to go upto 3k clicks and couldn’t be bothered to try for 5.

Anyway. It could be checked out, but don’t expect too much out of it. The story itself wasn’t that great either. Not bad, but just mediocre imo.

Playing this game is cheating, since it’s not available on (apparently) anywhere anymore. I’ve tried to find it, but it’s not on Steam store (and from what I’ve seen, hasn’t been on the store since 2016), so I’ve resorted to pirating, unfortunately. I’ve been playing this since last week with my boyfriend, and it has been fun! I wish it was longer though. Three chapters was definitely not enough for us.

You have to defeat enemies by spelling words with the letters available to you. As the game progresses, your character (Lex the Worm) also gets higher health, more defence, and more hit power–with some potions and relics to support him throughout his journey. It’s basically a spelling game, but was a lot of fun. Since it’s a kids game, it’s not very hard, but we still managed to die a couple of times. =P

If anyone knows any game similar to this, please tell me in the comments! Would love to play more of such game. =)

Made Progress

I absolutely loved this game! I previously played it through family sharing, but couldn’t get past the first 2 hours of it, so I just uninstalled and never went back to it. During the summer sale, a friend gifted it to me as a birthday gift, as he loves the game so much and wanted me to play it. And I’m so thankful for that! If it wasn’t for him, I would’ve never went back to Hollow Knight and missed out on so much.

It’s not an easy game for sure, but it’s also not too hard. It’s possible to progress in the game in several different ways, as there’s no single path set for your character. The map does prevent you from accessing some places/things before you’re advanced in the game enough, and this does get frustrating at the start, but it’s not bothering me anymore.

I had 3.5 hours on it last week, ans this week I’ve bumped that number by adding 10 hours! I think I’ll continue playing this for a while. =) Do recommend!
I also have a lot couple screenshots up on Steam for this one.

I didn’t progress much in this game, mainly because of playing Hollow Knight all the time. Cool puzzle game where you have to move blocks to make other blocks touch each other. Not too easy, not too hard–just how I like it. I’ve been playing the first two levels alone, but around the middle of level three, I’ve started playing it with my boyfriend mainly because we’re out of games to play.

This is another game I’ve had my eyes on since a couple months, and I finally bought it during the Steam Summer Sale! However, this also doesn’t show up on BLAEO due to it being profile features limited. I didn’t even know this was a thing before joining BLAEO, and it quickly became one of the most annoying things on Steam ever.

Anyways, I’ve seen the game described as a puzzle/walking simulator, and the 0.5 hours I’ve played can confirm this. Apparently this is a very short game–but only if you know what to do in it. I’ve progressed a little, but only by looking at a walkthrough. I didn’t want to do that, but the game itself seemed very hard to figure out, to me at least. I’m still trying to do things by myself, which is why this isn’t on “beaten” this week–I haven’t managed to do much!

But I’ll probably be done with this by next week (hopefully!).
