So it’s been two months since my last post. Black Desert kinda took up a lot of my time. Just a bit.

Anyway lets get on with the show.

1.) TACOMA

A very lovely story. In this novel, you walk around and interact with objects and recover various pieces of information from desktops and from data left behind. Find out what happened to the Tacoma crew, and it’s AI, Odin.

I really enjoyed the whole story. It takes around 2 hours to complete, and you can get all the achievements in one run. The characters were interesting, and I am very, very happy on how it ended. You should seriously play it.

By the way, the intro song is “Find me” by Szjerdene. Your welcome.

“5/5”
“Rather magnificent”

2.) Sparkle 3:Genesis

This game is absolute garbage.
If your just playing for whatever and not achievements, go for it. It takes about 20 minutes to finish the game. 8 - 12 hours for all achievements. Achievement hunters - Beware.

1.) You can kill the leviathan from day 1 without upgrading. Upgrading your status does not make you faster, stronger, increase absorption range or speed. The only reason you would waste your time putting points in is for the four achievements. They literally do nothing.

2.) I have actively tried to kill myself. You cannot die in this game, at all. This makes all fights pointless.

3.) The tutorial is annoying. For some achievements, you need to make a completely red, blue or green sparkle. Problem is, you may need to repeat the tutorial 10 times to get 3 of the same colors. I often ended up with 2/2/2.

4.) You cannot make this game completely mute from in-game. You can set the volume to 0% and it still makes noise, you need to minimize the game and go to your volume settings to mute it.

5.) the music is mediocre, forgettable, and non-existent. I suggest muting it and using a playlist.

6.) When you go through a vortex to go to the next area, you need to fight with it because even when you use the wheel to move down a level, it may move up one so your in this annoying back and forth war every level.

7.) once you complete a quest, you cannot re-do it. This means for the absorption competition you need to completely restart the game to get the like a boss achievement. On the bar it should tell you the percentages so you can end the game early instead of completely resetting it and re-starting with a new character.

8.) the labyrinths are annoying. They are not fun, just annoying and stressful and when you need to repeat them constantly to get a chance at the absorption competition it’s just migraine inducing.

9.) The sparkles get WAY TOO BIG. Once they hit max level they literally take up half the screen. Good luck trying to get through a labyrinth or looking at your mini-map. It should be set so when you level you zoom out or something.

10.) While green is the easiest to move in the labyrinths, have fun trying to kill the leviathan with it. It’s too slow and doesn’t have the range to get the orbs on the tail-end of it. I gave up after 13 minutes. On a side note… blue is absolutely the way to go if you want to beat the leviathan in less than 2 minutes.

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that I’m looking for people to add to my WL on Steamgifts. If you actually play the games you win and not a card idler.

I play my games in the order I get them, so I still have a couple games to go before I start playing my wins, but I do plan on playing them. Is that enough, or do I have to wait until I have proof?

add me on Steam

You could always just go straight to our SG profiles through our BLAEO profiles.

I commend you for getting all the achievements for Sparkle 3. You are a hundred percent correct on its garbage attribute. I had enjoyed the 2nd one enough mostly as a chill ambient game, but Sparkle 3 was a mess for me as well. Maybe seeing you complete it will inspire me to go back and finish off the achievements…

If you would like to add me to your WL, I would not mind. I certainly appreciated the gifts you gave me before ^_^ On a last note, I have not played ALL of my Steamgifts, but I do slowly work through while I work through other games. It depends on how committed to the series or what my taste for gaming is like at the time.

Anyways, great success and look forward to see your future posts! ^_^

I added you. I found it weird that you were not on my WL. I went through my friends list and added people.

Good thing I decided to reply then. Thank you! ^_^
