January: Heating Up

Hey there, this is my first backlog report here. I decided to post at the end of every month, starting from now after first month on BLAEO. I may or may not say some sort of info for games I played, be it rating or useful tips about achievements and how to dodge some kind of broken mechanic and bugs. This month it started out pretty neat, but then schoolwork shredded my plans very fast and I had lot of less time than I thought, so I hope I'll be able to move down my backlog much more next month. Without further ado, let's begin.

Spotlight: Stories: The Path of Destinies

It was long time since I've liked game this much. Lot of people said that this game is repetetive, which is true. There are few maps that play over and over, but if you can get over it and get interested in the story, you'll have great time. Combat feels responsive and looks cool. There are 25 stories (one takes about 30 to 60 minutes, based on your total progress and skill). Every story shows you different look at every character and things that can go wrong or surprise you. Not for everyone.
BEWARE: If you want to play this game, make some sort of save file backup after some shorter period of time. I was grinding levels for only grinding achievement in the game and when I was nearly done, out of nowhere my computer restarted and when I booted up the game, all my progress was gone. THE RESTART WAS CONFIRMED BY ONE OTHER STEAM USER THAT HAD SAME EXPERIENCE. Nobody else look like they had this problem, so it might be RARE.
I'll replay it in the future when I won't be salty from this :P

Even tho I didn't like it as much as SR III, it was still pretty neat. The port is kinda clunky at times but it's possible to play even without any fixes imo. Only fault I found in this game was needed respect points from activities to progress in story. It felt like a chore and forced on gameplay just to make it feel longer. I'll beat it again with friend in coop.

• World to the West

SG win. It's story based on same universe as Teslagrad which I really liked. Game felt challenging at times but it was fun and felt rewarding everytime I moved forth. Getting all cards needed bit of thinking but was still fun enough to keep me away from looking up the solution. Definitely enjoyed.
