The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC was a short but enjoyable extension to the original game. It’s certainly not essential, and since these 5 (mostly independent) episodes are rather brief, it doesn’t give the same opportunity to bond with the newly-introduced characters, but fans of the original should like this as it offers more of the same atmosphere and gritty decision-making.


Games from the current Challenge Me! :





The Magic Circle is an unconventional and occasionally trippy game. It has an interesting concept and I had some fun with its unique core mechanic, but overall, it was a neutral experience for me. While the voice acting was well done, I thought the story itself fell flat, and while I certainly don’t regret playing it, it’s not one that I’d personally recommend or choose to revisit.





Teslagrad oozes with charm, and I loved its artwork, atmosphere and storytelling. It’s a puzzle-platformer with fairly straightforward puzzles, but the somewhat floaty controls made a few of the platforming sections and bosses feel almost frustratingly difficult, and much harder than I believe the game originally intended. Overall it’s a great game, but if you’re the type who finds getting killed repeatedly until you can get the timing just right to be tedious rather than rewarding, then this probably isn’t for you.





I had fun jumping around as a super spy in Gunpoint. It’s short and the puzzles aren’t particularly tricky, but the mechanics are interesting enough and give you multiple ways to tackle some levels, and I loved the writer’s sense of humor. You’ll only get a few hours out of this one, but it’s enjoyable time well-spent.

Thanks, and don’t worry about the quantity. You finished one of the challenge picks, and that’s all that matters. I hope you did well on the test, too. :)

I remember getting 400 days free when I bought the game on console. Weird how they charge seperate on PC, but it’s still not a bad DLC. They also use the remaining characters in the second game for a small part if you keep the save file.

Nice job with your progress!

Thanks! I have to confess that on my first playthrough, all but one of my characters left with Tavia, and that didn’t sit right with me… so I played it again to get them all, because I knew the save file would carry over. :3

‘Gunpoint’ looks interesting…and ‘The Magic Circle’ really does look unconventional :D

Good luck with the rest of your Challenge Me games!

Kap

Thanks! I might be able to squeeze in one more challenge game before the deadline.

Gunpoint’s short and simple, but was a fun little game. Steam shows my playtime at nearly 8 hours, but half of that time was spent chatting while the game was running. Due to its length, it would be tough to recommend at full price, but it’s worth grabbing if they bundle it again. :)
