Report 29: Arts Wars

    LEGO® Star Wars™: The Complete Saga

    LEGO® Star Wars™: The Complete Saga

    8/10
    23 hours playtime
      no achievements

    It’s your classic Traveller’s Tales’ Lego game. I only played the second part before, so it was nice to finally play episodes 1-3. Episodes 4-6 still turned out to be designed better.
    I’ve pushed through 90% completion mark and I was getting pretty tired of it, so I stopped. The rewards for getting the 100 completion are meh anyway.
    It’s a pretty solid game, but it can be overwhelming to play it all the way to the end and to try to complete it as I did, since it’s somewhat long.

    This was MUCH shorter than Opposing Force and way more boring. There were nothing original about it, besides the fact that you can’t use “armor refuel” stations, since you’re wearing just a regular armor. Overall it wasn’t bad, but extremely “meh”.

    Hello Charlotte: Childhood's End

    Hello Charlotte: Childhood's End

    8/10
    4 hours playtime

    The final part of Hello Charlotte story manages to keep things fresh, interesting and unsettling, maybe even more successfully than its predecessors. It is as unpredictable as it gets, and it always finds new ways to entertain.
    I don’t think it’s even possible to describe the plot in a coherent way without spoiling it, but even if it could be done, you’ll need to play the first games anyway.
    Although I liked it a bit less than Requiem Aeternam Deo, I still really enjoyed the plot. The artstyle is great as usual.
    Either way, that was one hell of a ride that ended on a perfectly morbid note. I’m feeling sad that I have to let go of these series, but I still have a Heaven’s Gate DLC to go through.

    Vandals

    6,5/10
    3 hours playtime

    It’s a Hitman GO clone about a street artist avoiding police. It even has the same broken achievements “feature”.
    You can draw pretty much anything you want on the walls, and that’s cool, I guess. It also features bonus collectibles that provide you info about street art culture.
    Wasn’t anything amazing, but still a pretty good puzzle game.

Ooh Hello Charlotte looks interesting, never heard of it before.

It is! If you want to play it, here’s a tip so you won’t be confused:
Episode 1 is listed as a free demo for “Hello Charlotte” on Steam.
Episode 2 (Requiem Aeternam Deo) is a “Hello Charlotte” on Steam itself.
Episode 3 is “Hello Charlotte Childhood’s End”.
You can also find “Hello Charlotte Delirium” on the net for free, but it’s perfectly skippable. It takes place between ep.1 and 2, but it’s better to play it after 2, as dev said.
