Did not beat any pumpkins but got couple games off the list. No true horror games on it. Humble had couple good bundles lately so I guess my backlog is still increasing. Work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Finished
Just called it quits with this one. Still had some extra missions left but the started to get very grindy. Good game and solid MH entry. Like Rise more than this one with more streamlined action, better UI, and some QoL improvements.
This one was a disappointment. Pretty much everything felt off. Did not like 2.5D graphics, UI is clunky with poorly written characters and story. Gameplay related to shards was an alright idea but too grindy. Market has much better metroidvanias available so skip this one.
A bit simple Vampire Survivors clone with limited content. It is wild west themed with co-op option, which made the game much more fun. I doubt would have enjoyed it as much as I did if I had played it solo.
Okayish/good game of its genre. Some of the enemy animations felt weird that made parrying/dodging harder than it should have been. Story revolves around depression and human relationships. Nothing off in this but also nothing that special.
Rick and Morty without animation. Game started with some good gameplay hooks by having the game react to player actions. It was downhill from there. Gameplay is really simple and not that interesting. Story and voice acting should have the biggest draw but it sounds like four year olds doing improv. The quality is quite shitty. The game literally has a character giving a monologue about how much he loves shit. At least it doesn't take long to beat.
