La Volpe

August Report!

Played a lot of games, and finished most of them!

Resonance of the Ocean

0.8 hours, 5 of 5 achievements

Good game with lovely art style. Story is sort of vague at first and puzzles are just combining items and figuring out the order of them to play a sound. It's free and short, worth playing!


Ballads at Midnight

8.4 hours, 14 of 14 achievements

A great visual novel! Characters, story, art, world-building, all are done wonderfully! And it's free! Maybe because it was made in a game jam. If you like visual novels, give this a try.


The Walking Dead

17.2 hours, 48 of 48 achievements

I got the 400 Days DLC so installed it again to play it! DLC is not bad, stories are nice, although it would be better if it was longer to know the characters better.


A Building Full of Cats

1.7 hours, 21 of 21 achievements

It's about a building full of cats :P I haven't played hidden object games in a long time. It's actually nice! Art is very lovely, and finding cats in obscure locations is fun. I just wish it had more than one hint, a few cats are hard to find. It's relaxing and it has cats, that should be enough reasons to get the game ^_^


Prey

5.5 hours, no achievements

The original, 2006 Prey. I'm certainly Sold Out on this game :P CD Keys were generated on another distribution system, and they eventually ran out. Game is good, it had some original ideas and it's fun to play even today. It's a bit short but it doesn't get repetitive. Obviously it's a lot different than Prey 2017, but if you like old school FPS games, it's a good experience!


Endling

4.8 hours, 23 of 28 achievements

Fox game! And an amazing game! It's very well-made, and you can say it's made with lots of love behind it. Unfortunately it released with Stray at the same day, so it didn't get the recognition it deserved. It's short and might not be worth it for the asking price, but get it if you got the chance!


Tomb Raider: Legend

7.7 hours, no achievements

The first Tomb Raider remake made by Crystal Dynamics. It has a good balance between action and adventure, and both puzzles and action sequences are fun to play. It doesn't have anything new and groundbreaking to offer, but it still does a good job with what it has. Sadly the PC port is terrible, it crashes a lot, has screen tearing, texture flickering, and next gen improvements breaks the game sometimes. If you can put up with that, it's a nice experience.


Streets Of Kamurocho

0.5 hours, no achievements

Part of Sega' 60th anniversary. It's a mix of Yakuza and Streets of Rage. It's short and only has one level, but I don't expect much from a promotional video game.


Everhood

31.9 hours, 59 of 78 achievements

Rhythm games! I like them. It's a great game with fantastic soundtrack!


Skullgirls 2nd Encore

2.1 hours, 0 of 45 achievements

Since I didn't play fighting games for quite some time, it was hard to get into the game. But tutorial is very helpful! I'll play it again later.


The Walking Dead: Season Two

1.9 hours, 7 of 40 achievements

I actually finished the game at the time of writing this, so next month? :P


Backlog Slaying Continues!

I might not have much time around the end of the month, but I'll try to enjoy my time as best as I can! Hope you have a good month! 🧡

Hey, that’s some nice progress, congratulations. Thank you for the review of Ballads at Midnight. I wasn’t as convinced as you by the game and I was hoping to read some other review on BLAEO to see what others think of the game. Resonance of the Ocean looks neat, might give it a try :)

La Volpe

Thank you :D Both games are nice ^_^ I think Ballads at Midnight dev is making another VN for Annual Spooktober Visual Novel Game Jam, worth checking it out in a month or so

Vito

Cool, thanks for the info. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it! Or read your next reviews :D

Zelrune

Congratulations on your assassinations! Resonance of the Ocean and Ballads at Midnight look really good! I’ll keep an eye on them!!
