What is there to say about Broken Age, It is a point and click adventure and these are not my most favorite type of games. I do play them from time to time because they quite often offer a very nice story.
The story of Broken age started very promising but near the end left me feeling “meh”
I was really interested in the story of Vella but Shay’s story left me without a deep impression..
The puzzles are not too hard ( although I do keep a guide handy ) with a world design that isn’t too cluttered, it isn’t that hard to find the items you need.

This reminded me a lot of Final Fantasy 12, so I renamed it as Final Fantasy 12 lite*
The characters are cute and the art work is nicely done.
However the dialogue can get quite irritating after 15 hours in. They say a whole lot but without any real substance.
Had to do quite a bit of grinding too and caused me some irritation. Although that wasn’t totally the games’ fault. I didn’t know two important things until the very end. You can skip animations with the L2 on the controller and one Battle System that for some reason I missed totally. After I figured that said system out the game was over in 15 minutes.

I wanted to complete this game with my controller but after 10 minutes in the game I knew already that I needed to switch back to keyboard and mouse. Lots of combos and moves, even on the K/M, it left me with some ackward finger positions.
I enjoyed this game quite a bit, you have a bat car and can fly much much easier. Missions are varied and left me with many things to do, none of which took too much time. They all ended when the adrenaline was still on a high. A negative thing about the game is that travelling with the bat car to a mission location always gives you a highlighted track from current location to the mission point. Leading me to even after 30 hours having no real sense of how the city is laid out. Unlike other games such as GTA.

So three games done for the theme this month, If I can will try to complete Just Cause 2 as well.

Nah I played all three previous Batman games with K/M too.

Should I play ‘Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1’ before ‘Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation’?

Haha, I have no idea to be honest.
The story completely closed itself in Birth 1 and the storyline is pretty thin anyhow. I don’t think you will get lost if you start Rebirth2
