RobbyRatpoison's February 2026 BLAEO Review


Hey it’s me again! In February I managed to beat 6 games and two DLCs, completed 3 short games, and reclaimed a 100% that I had lost due to newly added achievements. I will list them from most playtime for the month to least.

A Plague Tale: Innocence was a good game that I enjoyed more than I expected. I’m generally not a fan of stealth games or horror games but it was really well done. Nothing was too hard or too easy and the horror aspects were pretty mild.

I bought and beat the two DLCs for A Little To The Left, they were good but kinda just more of the same. That’s not a bad thing but I kind of expected them to be longer or do something new. I came back to the game to go for 100% which requires 30 consecutive Daily Tidy’s and 100 total. It sucks that even though I’ve played 26 days in a row I still won’t be able to get 100% for over 2 more months, no matter what I do.

Stray was a great game, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The world was beautiful and the characters were fascinating. Only downside was the dude only played each song once, I expected to be able to request that he play a song again after we got it. I don’t want to spoil stuff so I will just leave it there, but I will say that the game exceeded my expectations and they were not low expectations.

35MM was not good but at least it was not too long. I didn’t really care for anything the game had to offer.

I finally played Gato Roboto! It was a lovely little metroidvania game, short and sweet. I got 100% collectibles but not 100% achievements, that could be a nice challenge if I choose to go back to it. I like when games allow for pallet swapping but honestly they usually just hurt my eyes.

Dordogne and Abzu felt similar in the sense that they are beautiful games and I enjoyed going through them but they are not what I would call fun.

Supermarket Together added a couple new achievements so I had to play that one again to get back to 100%. I’m starting to think that this will be a recurring thing as they continue to add new features.

Kittenrock Cats - A Hidden Object Game, FIND KITTENS: The last of cats, and FIND KITTENS 6: After us are all games in the hidden cats genre and I got 100% in those ones. Kittenrock had some extras that made it stand out from the crowd in a good way, but also had text boxes that stayed on screen for too long. Eventually I found a setting to fix that but I was nearly finished by that point.

Ohhh Plague Tale and Stray are some of my favorite games from the past few years as well! It’s incredible that Plague Tale came from a studio that had no prior hits. They absolutely nailed it the first time around. I still think it’s one of the best looking games I’ve ever played. I have strong memories of reaching the tower for the first time during the torrential rain and the thunder lighting the background, yikes! Or the close-up shots of the Pope and it’s fancy fabrics …. such a treat
