Update 22: Forth week of September

September is over and this month my backlog did suffer a lot. In this last week I won 6 new games and bought a bunch of American Truck Simulator DLCs.

At least I was able to finish some of the long games :)

I liked the game. It is a walking simulator, where you are tasked with finding out what happened on the station Tacoma through accessing the AI recordings of the crew. I really liked the story and all the characters. Can be completed in about 3h in one runthrough.

I liked the game. Though some levels are really hard to finish.

Pros:

  • nice story
  • a lot of different missions
  • characters are well developed
  • graphis were great for their time, city really detailed, you can differentiate between the different city districts

cons:

  • graphics have not aged well, so better use the HD mod for it
  • level design is sometimes really hard, too few automated save points in hard levels
  • AI is sometimes really stupid, like your allies running directly into tommy gun fire, instead of taking cover
  • your bullets do not hit, while the enemies bullets hit every time
BioShock Infinite: Clash in the Clouds

Played this one for the BLAEO monthly. Basically you have 4 different worlds with each 15 levels and you can get blue ribbons for completing challenges in each level. The challenges consist usually of just usuing one weapon/vigor to kill all or a certain type of enemy or finishing in a certain amount of time.

Some of those challenges are super hard to achieve, though it was fun. One thing I did not like is that if you loose one level you will automatically loose the blue ribbon for that level, even though you can start the level over again. And in order to get it you have to start over at level 1.

I love the game. It is really relaxing to drive a truck all over America. I like it so much that I actually bought all non-cosmetic DLCs.

I put it as beaten after 20+h but I will definitly keep playing it to complete it.
