The Sexy brutale

12.8 hours, 18 of 18 achievements

The sexy brutale: I've been expecting to play this game for a while, thanks to PoP motivation here. As no one knows I'm not a fan of puzzle games (this game being tagged as a puzzle one), the beginning was very hard for me to understand, so this is how it goes (no spoilers here): You are a guy with a nice mask with superpowers and a stopwatch that helps you going back in time whenever you want, so all you have to do is whatever you need to keep going forward in the story. So it would be like a pocket Life is Strange edition.

As I said it was hard to understand at the beginning but you got a map where you can register everything you do, so you can go back in time and take less in the next try.

The game gives you pressure since you need to do certain tasks before time runs out and sometimes not know what to do can be frustrating, but in the end, there are only a few options to do or not to do, is either A or B.

I give this game a 6.5/10 for personal tastes on the genre (would have given more).
Thanks to PoP and MouseWithBeer.


Insane 2

11.1 hours, 22 of 47 achievements

Insane 2: Quite entertaining race game but very bad points.

There are like 170 races you are available to play, ALL of them are against IA with the same names, I would like
to fight "different" IA (different names) every time I chose a race. To be honest I wouldn't mind if there were like 100 races only, 170 is too much for a repetitive game.

There are different modes of races (up to 10 I think) and if I could eliminate one of them it would be one where you have to follow the light of
an helicopter and score 100-150 seconds inside it; this is because the IA becomes the hunter here and starts trying to take you out of the light most of the time, so even the IA won't score, making those mode two or three times longer than expected, really annoying.

Appart from that I want to play multiplayer, so I've been adding people in the threads of the game to play with them one of this days.
Thanks to PoP and MouseWithBeer.


How to survive 2

15.0 hours, 10 of 49 achievements

how to survive 2: I have no idea about the first one. The basics of this games are: Kill, Craft, Level up, Upgrade.
The upgrade system is a little bit broken, you have some stats you can upgrade with XP (that you earn mostly finishing missions); you can actually farm/grind the first mission of the game where you just have to kill five zombies to get a considered amount of XP, do that several times and you will be able to boost your stats. One of the stats is the % of damage you do with your attacks, so you can upgrade it from (0% no upgrade) to 100% and 200% and 300%…. probably meaning
you can oneshot your enemies, but not all friends are zombies.

There are several type of infected, the classic zombie ( which speed is random for every one, Usain Bolt could be in this game), Boomer (he explodes and most of the time kills you if you are near) and other infected that I won't spoil. Since you have a way to level up, they also do, the higher level you are, the higher level they will be.

Game has local mode(singleplayer) and multiplayer (co-op) where you can make your game public (but if has to be a fresh one since most of your stuff dissapears there, saving only your profile). I started in singleplayer by default and so far I have encountered several missions that I was unable to do due to my lack of equipment or other stuff. (You can use fire weapons in this game and I still have melee weapons)

Nice progress with these 3 games! Never played any them (Also never heard of Insane 2 actually), so I don’t have much opinion to share for each.

Also do you think you liked/have enough interest (whatever the reasons maybe) with these games to 100% them or do you think are done/content with your progress?

Gonna bump this; made a review of sexy brutale here https://steamcommunity.com/id/vigorz/recommended/552590/.
About Insane 2, I managed to contact people and we played for a bit, getting a few online achievements https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1739614100
No plans on touching how to survive 2 shortly.

Sure! I missed a collectible on my way to the end of sexy brutale, but after the end they let you explore everything so it was “easy” to find, that’s one.

About insane 2, I will complete it 100% (at least singleplayer) but I have an exam incoming and I have been focusing in the races that I like leaving the worst for the end, the game has multiplayer achievements and I will organize something with people who have the game so we all can get those.

About how to survive… it’s about grind here and there, I recently got a weapon that increased my stats around +60% (just imagine that) so it will be easier now, but if in my way there I find someone who wants to play the whole story in co-op mode I’ll duo with him.

Both games have multiplayer stuff and that requires time, but yes, I will 100% them. On the other hand, yes, I’m happy with all I’ve done so far, but there is a lot of time (till the end of the month approx) till I can fully complete the games.
