December Sum-Up

Happy new year! I’m getting lazier in making this. Maybe I should just stop…

Half-Life 2

Saturday Morning RPG

An RPG based on saturday morning cartoons. It's okay but it has one broken achievement.

Half-Life 2

Through Abandoned: The Forest

A short point and click that reminds me of flash games. Not sure if it's made in it but it looks really similar.

Half-Life 2

The Count Lucanor

A horror RPG maker game with multiple endings. It's not scary but I like the puzzles.

Half-Life 2

The Hex

I don't know. I didn't seem to enjoy it. You play as 7 characters that comes from games in different genre but I found the game in the game part to be in low quality.

Half-Life 2

Pixel Boy: The Legend of Tain

Another RPG Maker game. It's too short and combat isn't fun with its bulky enemies, especially with one that can reduce your HP to half with a single spell.

Half-Life 2

Digimon Survive

Yep, my christmas and new year holiday is mostly spent for this game. I like the darker take that this game has. 100%ing it can be a pain though since you have to spend hours fast forwarding the same dialogues for the first 8-9 chapters (there are 12-13 chapters total).

Half-Life 2

White Pearl

Another RPG Maker game. I like how they have a lot of casts and try to shuffle them all. Games like this tend to just shove a bunch of characters at you that ends to be forgotten since I already stuck with the first four characters, but not this game.

Half-Life 2

Milo and the Magpies

A short point and click game. I like how the puzzles don't tell you what to do and you have to figure out the rules yourselves from the given hints.

That’s all for this month. I also replayed Osteoblasts to get the achievements and try the new Hall of Doors update. I got too many wins and gifts from December so I’ll try to dedicate January to finish them all, although I still want to play some RPG Maker games from time to time… and then there’s also new PoP cycle for me to participate. Let’s see how it goes.

See you later.

Congratulations on your assassinations and happy new year! Are there any games you are looking forward to playing the most on 2023? Do you think you might check out Fabrication, the second part of White Pearl?

Happy new year to you too! Well there is a game that i am hyped for the release in 2023 but as for games that i am looking forward to playing… i think it’s going to be anuchard. I am a sucker for zelda like games so i am always looking forward in playing those games the most, hahah. How about you?

As for fabrication, i actually already played it 2 years ago. I already forgot most of the story so now would be a perfect time to replay it, but seeing how many games i got last month, i think i wont be able to check it anytime soon…

I’m looking forward to playing Stars in the Trash, but it’s been delayed before so I don’t expect it to come out when it says it will. It’s a completely hand-drawn game with watercolor and I’ve been anticipating it since I discovered Valhalla Cat’s previous game The Purring Quest.

Aw, that sucks. The game looks great though! Hope it wont get delayed more :)

No don’t stop! I enjoy reading these posts :)

I also didn’t enjoy The Hex, which is a bummer because i loved Pony Island. The Hex was just alright.

Happy New Year and I hope you enjoy 2023!

aquatorrent

aw, thanks! i’m glad to see that someone enjoyed reading them. not sure if i’ll keep it up next month but let’s see. hopefully i’m in a better mood for it later.

you know what? i also enjoyed pony island. i was having a high expectation from the hex because of it. or maybe that’s why i was disappointed with the game… i should lower my expectation next time.

anyway, happy new year to you too! 2023 has been alright for me. i was quite bummed out since holidays in december and january falls on the weekends, but i’ll manage :’)
hope things are better on your side! :)
