Update (11): Peregrin
25 September 2019
I'm finally done with another game! It's a short one, but a game still.
I liked this a lot. The art in between chapters is gorgeous, and the story (for me) is very satisfying. I especially liked how, in the end of the game, the same story was re-told in another manner, giving more depth and explanation to the events before the game itself. I would like some more information about Abi & Isaac, or what happened after the game ended, but even without that, I liked the story a lot.
It's basically a puzzle game which is story rich. The puzzles are not hard at all, but may take a few tries. You're moving around objects by controlling creatures/animals around you, and they move rather slowly, so it can get a bit frustrating when you realise you've made a mistake and now have to re-do the last 10 minutes. But, that aside, I enjoyed Peregrin a lot! I wish it was longer, but I also understand that some of the enjoyment these types of games give is due to their shortness.
I wanted to 100% the game, but for the achievements I've missed, I need to replay more than half of the game, and right now I'm not in the mood for it. So, not today.
P.S. If anyone is interested, I have a Peregrin GA on SG Community Train 5.0 on cart 871. :) But be fast, the train will end in just 3 days!
Progress Bar: New Games 2019
Progress Bar: Steam Library
Your progress bar is looking good! :P
I should bump this game up my list to play soon, seeing as it is short.. hmm
I think the bar would look even better if I stopped buying games (even if it’s 1-2 a month!) and played more :P
And I hope you like it when you do. The puzzles aren’t very challenging, so it might get boring for some. But I enjoyed it as I was focused on the story more. (And it’s nice to have a non-challenging game from time to time!)
Haha don’t worry! I started putting together my post for this month and my backlog additions…are scary… >.> I still need to add another 2 I traded for this morning..
I hope so! I think I need to play a few shorter games for a bit after some of the longer ones I’ve been playing :)
Oh yeah, I forgot that you trade! Well compared to a lot of people here, my backlog is non-existent lol. But still, I don’t want my Steam library to be as my physical library at home (with books). I buy more than I read, so it’s always growing. And with Steam, apparently I buy more than I play, so yeah… Here were are. :D
I’m looking forward to your post!!! It’s always so exciting to see what other people upto! :D
Edit: Limbo & Crazy Plant Shop are other short-ish games. I haven’t finished Limbo, but it shouldn’t be very long. Maybe 5 hours at most? Not even that, probably. CPS is at most 2 hours, and a bit longer if you want to 100% the game.
Hahaha yeah - I was hesitant to trade at the beginning, but once you do it a few times, its pretty easy. Good to get rid of all the spare bundle keys I have and try to get other games I’m at least slightly interested in. I’ve started trying to record them down here: https://www.backlog-assassins.net/lists/xbpe62l
Nothing too exciting in this months post, except for the growing backlog.
I managed to trade for Crazy Plant Shop this month actually! After realising we can’t buy it in Australia on steam for some reason… -_-‘ Another I should prioritise then!
Thanks for the review. It’s relatively high up on my list to play…which means maybe within 12 months… :p
I hope you like it!
