Gameplay Summary

This month has been fairly sparse on gameplay, with limited hours and limited games. In retrospect, it makes sense given how busy I was with work, family life, and generalized lack of intrinsic motivation to actually play games, but I managed to pull off a couple goals by the end of the month.

Completed: Super Hexagon

After over 10 years of owning the game and several hours of gameplay dispersed through that time (many of which were on the DRM free version I got from Humble Bundle before I got Steam), I finally beat the last level. There were a couple agonizing points where I got within a couple seconds of beating the game, but in the end I completed it less than an hour before the Play a Game You Won on Steam Gifts event ended. This is a title I will likely visit later to try to improve my scores, but I will likely take a break.

Beaten: Ballpoint Universe: Infinite

This one was agonizing to beat. I tried working on it a couple months ago until I hit a roadblock where the game just crashed whenever I played a certain level. I found a workaround which involved switching back and forth between the main build and a beta build, which was tedious but manageable. I did like the game when it worked, but I do not recommend it if you do not already own it. I will likely revisit this later to get the remaining achievements.

In Progress: World of Warships

This month’s update is fairly similar to last month. I have continued making progress toward unlocking the next Japanese Aircraft Carrier, but progress is slow. I would rate myself an average (maybe even somewhat below average) player given my playtime, but that does not stop me since this is a common pastime with my friend. Hopefully I will have more of an update next month, so wish me luck on my sailing (and flying).

In Progress: Beat Saber

This one has an even smaller update than World of Warships. I think I played one time for only about 15 minutes, so I can’t give much of any progress. Here’s to hoping I’ll get more cardio in next month so I can give you all an update. I guess I also bought the latest DLC songs from Imagine Dragons yesterday, so there’s that. I’ll test them out and provide an update after March ends.

Congratulations on all of your assassinations! I hope you get into Beat Saber, I don’t have a VR system, yet, but it’s definitely one of the games I’m planning on picking up!

It is definitely worth it. I have 14 hours so far, I have just been lazy this last month. There’s a common argument about whether to use mods to get songs or buy the DLCs. I don’t mind spending the money since I like a lot of the songs and artists that they add, and I can skip the ones I don’t care for. Others like the “free” nature of picking custom songs they like, but it depends on your views on Yo-Ho Island.

Ahh I should totally get my headset out and play some Beat Saber again.
Such a great game!
