  • A better month than expected, the heat wave is going to hit in the next few days but we now have shutters to keep us from roasting like fried chickens

Mostly completed or played - July 2026

- Finally finished Company of heroes 3 ! It was weird. Fun in short sessions, but hard to get motivated to finish it. Italy campaign is like a Total War without scenario. There is though a good North Africa side-campaign.
- Short but really good board game K2, once you understand the rules it feels like climbing.

June/July theme - Beach Read

- Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia is a short walk with a few animals and plants. Every time you click, a short summary pops up, just like in the magazine “La Hulotte.” The little mouse is cute. I had to play twice to unlock all the achievements, and it was much faster and easier with a controller.
- Storm Boy is a little story about a boy and his best friend a pelican. Short but very touching. On point game for this month theme.
- Beyond Blue, i was happy to see fish just like at the aquarium. Grinding through scanning fish isn't exactly thrilling, but great soundtrack though !

Congrats on beating so many games! Dogpile looks absolutely fantastic, I’ve been keeping my eye on it :)

moka

Thank you very much ! I got Dogpile from summer sale, but actually you can also get it from “Fanatical Best of Cozy Bundle”, it’s fun but there is one specific very grindy achievement. The french magazine Canard PC gave it a very good rating.

fernandopa

I have some Steam credit to purchase games, but with such an extense backlog, I can’t justify buying anything for the time being. Absolutely needs discipline to keep the numbers coming down. I usually don’t chase cheevos so luckily the grindy achievement becomes irrelevant for me hehe

moka

Congratz for your purchase discipline (that i don’t have lol)

Congratulations on the stabs at the backlog, and the beautiful month report. Love the variety of the games on display! SW Squadrons brought back some memories. Had some great fun with it when it came out. Too bad that you could no longer enjoy the multiplayer. Made me a bit sad to hear that it’s empty now.

moka

My fault really facepalm it was probably a lot of fun in multiplayer sigh
Thank you, well it’s already nice from EA to keep the servers up so that we can still play the solo campaign !

robilar5500

A lot of good stuff in there. Cool to see you finally finish up that CoH3 campaign. Gotta feel good to have cleared that one.

moka

Thank you very much ! ^^
Yes i had a hard time finishing it because while the gameplay itself is both really fun and really intense, the main campaign in the background is not a real campaign but just a background for skirmishes. Unlike Unity of Command 2 campaign that offers a real progression and the satisfaction of having truly established a supply line and broken through the AI’s lines !

BEYOND BLUE LETS GO?!?! It’s the only game I played out of these, and have fond memories of it~

moka

Was it you who adviced me to play it ? I remember someone here told me to play it ! XD

Zelrune

I would not be surprised, I’m totally biased and liked the game a bunch hahaha.

moka

Well :p i found the gameplay a bit boring but the environment and the fishes are beautiful and i liked a lot the soundtrack ! Really cool ost, i bookmarked Suzie Noma ! You like the sea games or it’s that specific game ?
