October’s Stats
aka. Still struggling with the backlog fight
Wow, time flies, how is November here already? I hope October’s been good to you all and that you had a lot of time to play (and eat candies). I haven’t been doing much better than last month between real life being really busy and my ongoing addiction to Gems of War, but depending on how you look at it, I’ve finished twice as many games as last month… (it’s something right? RIGHT?)
On the plus side, I’ve finally started using my Xbox pass again as The Outer Worlds came out and it was worth the money just for this game alone. I’m having a lot of fun with it so far, I’ve read that a lot of people are disappointed with it but I’m a happy sheep. Will probably report on it next month. Now that I’m done with this report, I’m gonna try to get some gaming done on this day off. What about you, how was your October gaming, anything interesting worth recommending?

WARSAW was one of those turned based tactics games I was having high hopes on being the successor to Darkest Dungeon. It was not, but it was also a pretty good game on its own. It started a bit rocky at launch (very unbalanced) but the devs patched it quickly (and are now following a roadmap of updates to add more things to the game, which I'm not gonna lie give a bit of EA feeling, even if it's not). That being said it's now pretty well balanced while still being hard enough to be interesting to play. Basically it's roguelite turned based tactics that let you replay the insurrection of Warsaw during the second world war. It's also pretty historically accurate, which is sadly what brought the only thing I regretted about the game: there is no endless mode. No matter how good you do during the game, the game will end at 63 days like the insurrection did in real life, and you cannot "win" it. Still, I played 2 full runs of it this month and I would recommend the game for tactics lovers.

Finally, after months of playing this in co-op with my GF (we started in June), we finished both the game (that was actually done in july) and ALL the DLCs. As for the first time I played this back when it first got out, the best part of this is actually playing it with a friend, as otherwise it can get pretty grindy. My favourite part was still the Tiny Tina Dragonkeep DLC, which is probably one of my favourite DLC ever, all games considered. At least it scratched my FPS-looter itch for a while and I can wait that BL3 gets all its DLCs out AND an extremely cheap deal. Any of you've been playing BL3, and if yes, how is it?
