Report 94: April - May 2026

I had a short leave that turned out medical, so I spent most of the april in the comfort of my flat, hence so many games played.

Clean Break - Short psychological game about breaking stuff. Had some fun achievements. 6/10
Growing My Grandpa - Pretty cool horror game with weird concepts and some cool-ass visuals. A bit heavy on the text side though. 7,5/10
Infectonator 3: Apocalypse - I loved Infectonator games way back then, and it’s still fun. I should aslo finish that Survivors one. 7,5/10
Wordle 3 - Although this is the cheapest-looking word game franchise, it’s still a word game and I enjoy those. What I didn’t enjoy is the fact that the Flowers section near the end is pretty much impossible to beat without hints and it took about 75% of the playtime. 5/10
Wordle 4 - And that’s the installment I’ll play last, that’s for sure. This one is just lazy and extremely short. The only reason I got 3 hours on it is because I left it on for cards farming. 2/10
Black Souls II - I still can’t believe it’s on Steam, feels like a fever dream. It’s obivously unplayable if you don’t install the content patch though. Anyway, it’s a huge step up from the previous one. If you’re okay with very questionable h-parts. 9/10
Water Womb World - Eh. I liked GMG way more. 5,5/10
Tharsis - This is a pretty fun dice-based survival game where you have to repair your ship and manage your crew on their way to Mars. You’ll get used to carefully plan everything after a few runs, but it’s short enough so it doesn’t get too boring. 7,5/10
BALL x PIT - Very fun and engaging at firtst, but gets more tedious when you go for the achievements completion. It’s stll really good, don’t get me wrong. 7,5/10
Crush the Castle - Never played those in the past, but it was pretty fun (although a bit rage-inducing sometimes). 7/10
Ricihi City - I had problems connecting to the servers for more than a year now, and in May the game finally stopped connecting at all. It’s a shame, since I really love mahjong. Riichi City was going full-coomer mode with gacha characters and their outfit (unlike Mahjong Soul), which may be a problem for someone, but it had quite a few cool collaborations. I got to 6th dan on 3p Mahjong and I didn’t even bother to get the 1st dan on 4p since it felt so painfully slow after 3p (and I was playing mostly with newbies that took their sweet time discarding the tiles.) My only hope is that the war will someday be over, we’ll hopefully stop with the internet blocking bullshit, and I’ll be playing that game again. 9,5/10
Panzer Dragoon Remake - Really fun, what I can say. Whoever thought making an achievement for playing 100 hours was a good idea is a crazy person though. 7,5/10
Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders - Never read it. It’s a simplified point’n’click that throws occasional puzzles here and there to make you scratch your head a bit. Overall I had a good time, but some of the deduction segments are kinda annoying since you have no idea what the game wants you to pick exactly. And also an achievement for observing everything is ridiculuous and ruins the game flow. I had to go through the game with a guide, since getting it the natural way is almost impossible. 7/10
Cryptmaster - An extremely fun dungeon crawler with typing mechanic that controls pretty much everything in the game. The grinding can a be a bit tedious, and I encountered a few bugs here and there, but nonetheless I loved it. 8/10
Cooking Witch - Weird little game with hilariously fucked-up sounding premise. Had to grind for a while for that last achievement. Nothing much to say about it. 6/10
