I think my leaving several months between posts may have become a bit of an unintentional trend for me.

I’d say, much of my game time has been taken up playing Slay the Spire, and Minion Masters over the past couple of months or so. But I did find the time to play some shorter games in between.


Spring Falls
This game is simply beautiful. You have to make the flowers bloom by directing the water to them. It’s a very simple concept, but some of the later puzzles can be moderately challenging. Playing this game made me happy. =)

Minion Masters
It’s a free to play deckbuilding/ card-battler game, and the nice thing about it is that nothing is hidden behind a paywall. Yes, there are in app purchases, but everything is attainable just through playing the game. The community (and Twitch community is very welcoming to new players.) I’ve had a good bit of fun with it and I do plan to play it more on and off, but it’s not something I want to play non-stop like some people do lol. I stopped playing for now because I’m currently in a RISK tournament (non Steam) and I really only have time for one multiplayer community based game in my life at a time. XD

It’s alright. I tried it out, but to be honest, as someone who’s played a version of Risk for years (conquer club, which is better than the Hasbro version with a larger playerbase), I didn’t find it particularly engaging and some of the achievements seem near unobtainable. I might play some more when I am bored though. XD.

Packed Train
Puzzle game where you have to pack different shaped blocks into a space while matching 3 or more to make them disappear. It’s very simple, but fun.

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions
Just like the first game, I absolutely adored this one. Getting the final achievements requires you to play the game again on hard mode, so I plan to do that later. It’s made up of stunningly beautiful stained glass jigsaw puzzles. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing puzzle game. =)

Slay the Spire
I’ve played a lot more hours since I last posted about first playing this. I have beaten the game with all four characters and so am now focusing on beating the extra level “final act” with all 4 to get those achievements. Two down, and two to go. This is probably my favourite game at the moment.

Faerie Solitaire Harvest
I won the first game on SG, loved it, so bought this one myself. I have beaten the game since my last post, and now playing through again (NG+1) for the purpose of getting the achievements. You have to play through the game three times in total up to NG+2 in order to get all of them.

Tibetan Quest: Beyond the World’s End
(Won on SG.)
Not one of the better Artifex Mundi games. The puzzles are fine if you play the game without expecting too much by way of a storyline, and the artwork is beautiful. The story leaves much to be desired as it was pretty lazy writing. It didn’t make a whole lot of sense, to be honest. And it was devoid of anything Tibetan. They could have done some research into Tibetan history and mythology, but instead they just guessed their way through it throwing stuff in that seemed Asian. Haha! It does have mixed reviews for a reason. =)

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink
(Won on SG.)
In contrast to the above, this is probably one of Artifex’s better titles. I loved playing it. The story was well written for a HOG and the puzzles were fun. In case you are wondering, Glass and Ink are the surnames of the two main characters, and it’s set in a Steampunk universe.

Slay the Spire sure is a dangerous game. A friend of mine got introduced to it one week and one day ago, and he’s already sunk 30h into it….

It is indeed lol. So much fun though. :D
