You no mess with Lo Wang

• Shadow Warrior
  

  36 hours playtime

  86 of 92 achievements

Shadow Warrior was one of the games in my backlog I was most looking forward to play. I liked the previous game from these developers: Hard Reset And I played the classic Shadow Warrior just a few month ago. There are a lot of references to the classic but also to Hard Reset and if you once was a player of Serious Sam you will find some allusions too.

You want to wash Wang? Or you want to watch Wang wash Wang?

One can definitely see this is a child from Hard Reset. The game mechanic is the same: go fight from one arena like area to another, blow things up near enemies, use the environment to your advantage, move in the rhythmen of your enemies attacks, find keys and levers to proceed, find secrets, upgrade your stuff. Since we are Wang add a sword and some magic superpowers to our hero. I liked the game so much, I did a second playthrough just after the first with different difficult settings.

Overall this game feels like made from some guys, who just love to make a good shooter.

• Joe Dever's Lone Wolf HD Remastered
  

  44 hours playtime

  70 of 79 achievements

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf HD Remastered I did play another game-book this year The Forest of Doom which was just *so so*. So I did not expect much from this. But it is surprisingly fun.

The writing and story is not worth a Nobel Price but for a game it is good and the translation is excellent. The turn based battles are not that easy as long you did not discovered yet how things are working best. I liked how you have to manage your skills and resources during a battle, to loot things and improve or upgrade my equipment.

I did a 2nd playthrough with other character building and decisions to see how the stories changes. As usual some parts may read different but for the important parts of the story you cannot change anything. Maybe one day I will do a 3rd playthrough for all achievements.

Another game worth to be mentioned:

• Nova-111
  

  11 hours playtime

  9 of 11 achievements

Nova-111 this game has a lot of fresh ideas and did not feel like something I already played 10 times before. The difficult level is just right between relaxing and challenging.
After the first playthrough I was motivated enough to hunt some personal highscores. Still I was not motivated to beat every objective in the game. That is finding all scientist and secrets, which includes to bump into every wall whether there is a secret or not.
