July
I’m writing this review late. I am tired, overworked, undermotivated, and feeling the burden overtaking me, but I struggle on hoping for better days and feeling of progress (whether in games or in life).* As my stress grew, my focus on games grew thin and wide. After taking a look, I found out I had over 80 games installed takes a breath… (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ … At least this newfound knowledge inspired me to finish off some of the ones that have been sitting incomplete for some time. I lost some of the will to write much more than this, so here is this months progress.
Bullet Witch
28.7 hours, 14 of 14 achievements
After playing playthrough after playthrough (and eventually just idling for that the playtime achievement.) I finally secured the last of the Bullet Witch achievements.
Dishonored
56.6 hours, 80 of 80 achievements
Finally cleared the last of the achievements for Dishonored and moved onto Dishonored 2. Oh, how I loathed the Dunwall City Trial achievements….
Dragon Knight
4.8 hours, 42 of 42 achievements
Cleared up the achievements, from beaten to complete. Took a lot of playthroughs.
I, Zombie
2.2 hours, 13 of 13 achievements
Dishonored 2
28.7 hours, 39 of 50 achievements
Dishonored 2 builds off of Dishonored 1 in all the right ways. More world building, evolving environmental dangers to be more concurrent with the issues of the sequel, more non-lethality options (thank you!), level diversity, more ways to individualize your playthrough, and much more.
My first playthrough was a very hard, non-lethal, no powers, with Emily and it was surprisingly fun and challenging. As soon as I clean up the last of the achievements, I'll move onto Death of the Outsider.
Left 4 Dead 2
13.8 hours, 38 of 70 achievements
A valve classic that includes levels and characters from the first game ontop of the games base levels. Though it does include Versus modes and the such, Co-op survival is its main flavor. Unfortunately I have not had much luck with the multiplayer, and have been consistently been kicked in the first few minutes in all modes (besides campaign). Seems the community is rather exclusive and don't like new players joining their games… (internal screaming) and so I don't believe I'll get a solid chance to actually get all achievements… (internal screaming INTENSIFIES!!!)
Overcooked
6.3 hours, 11 of 12 achievements
A surprisingly fun couch multiplayer game, which often ends up in yelling, frantically trying to dish orders out, and creating a very Hells Kitchen environment. Unfortunately, I don't have enough willing couch potato friends, so I ended up having to finish most of the game on my own D:< 
Epilogue
As stated earlier, my will and ability to write has near diminished, so I don’t have much left to say. Keep on killing assassins, may the next month bring a greater bounty, higher spirits, and a bloodlust to take down the mightiest of backlogs.
If you need help with L4D2, i have a lot of achievements pending too.
I’d be glad to work with you to clear this game. Feel free to add me (in case I don’t get to it before you.)
Good job getting all the Dishonored achievements! I didn’t even try :D Sad to hear about your L4D2 experience. I feel like experienced gamers too often tend to be elitists unfortunately :(
Don’t push yourself, when you don’t feel like writing. I’m sure the motivation will come back. I hope things will look better for you soon :)
Thank you kindly. ^_^ I have heard from others having the same experience, in particular with Valve MP, that this happens to them as well. A real shame :/
I still wanted to write my monthly progress, but kept it short for the time. I appreciate the advice, and thank you kindly (again)! :D oof this phase is even causing severe redundancy D:
80 Games?!?! Wow, that’s a lot and you should be ashamed, he says as he casually hides the fact he has 400 games installed right now.
ooph, I couldn’t even imagine looking at my Steam client with that many installed. I offer my greatest respect and condolences. o7
It’s actually perfectly fine if you have a good organisation system. And I also have kids so there are quite a few of their games installed too, sometimes long after I’ve ‘finished’ them.
That’s a shame about L4D2, though I guess not all that surprising. I find that’s often the case in most FPS mp games, where people are kickable.
Hope life starts lookin’ up for you and are able to find some hidden gems to bring you joy, one step at a time. *:･ﾟ✧ヽ(●´ω｀●)ﾉ ✧･ﾟ:✧
I appreciate your kind words. I will get there, just gotta keep moving forward. Thank you kindly! ^_^
