Finished:
Carto - nice little puzzler-lite
DARK - I cannot say it’s a great game, but there’s a snazzy song in it (Become the Night / Dark Inside) and the protagonist’s voice actor also voiced Geralt.
Deep Dungeons of Doom - simplifed dungeon crawling
Dracula: Origin - Dracula binge weekend happened XD
Dracula: Love Kills - Dracula binge weekend happened XD
Dracula 4 & 5 – Dracula binge weekend happened XD (If you plan to pick these two up, play them together, they’re really one game cut in half. A certain segment at the end is strangely satisfying.
Hero of the Kingdom: Lost Tales 1 - similar to previous entries
Iconoclasts - I don’t regret playing it, but it did not really resonate with me
Newt One - simple, straightforward, not great, but it has charm
The First Templar - older RPG, found it a pleasant medieval surprise
System Crash - cyberpunk card game, with a nice Gibsonian tone - not too difficult

Wow, that’s a lot of progress!
I played and enjoyed Dracula: Origin several years ago. And of course I love the Hero of the Kingdom series. A couple of those other games are in my backlog.
How was The First Templar? Did you happen to play it in co-op? Oh– and did you have to create a Kalypso account to play it?

Sorry for the horribly late reply, I have not been checking in here much :( I like Hero of the Kingdom too ^_^.
On The First Templar, I only played it solo (from the design, I think co-op would be fun) and it did still ask for an account at start up (I think I already had one, though I do not remember when/for what game I had created it). The game is far from perfect (a little awkward, a little wait-wait-what), but I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. A bit of a stars-aligning moment, I guess, I was in a medieval mood and feeling nostalgic and up for something straighforward and it just hit the right tone, with all the little flaws combining to amuse rather than truly irritate. The combat works and there’s just a little bit of everything in there to make most approaches viable - the collectible texts are a nice touch. If you go in not expecting too much from it (as I did), chances are you’ll be happy to have tried it by the end.

Thanks for the reply!
