Unfurl

23 October 2020 / Just felt I should post an update

Not much done though, same batch, still intent to finish that old theme + spring cleaning (in autumn…great).

Half-Life 2
Won on SteamGifts

Ruzh Delta Z

Dreadful

A dreadful little game.

Half-Life 2
Any other game from my library

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

Exceeds Expectations
46.1 hours
39 of 39 achievements

I thought it was great - somewhat reminded me of HoMM with all the game dynamics. Not as good as main Witcher games of course, but still a very enjoyable experience.

Still remaining in the batch: Half-Life 2 (in progress), Morphblade (in progress), Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (in progress).
I started a Bad ABC Challenge (https://www.backlog-assassins.net/lists/kl52kml), it's going horribly, as expected with the following couple of games being done:
Half-Life 2

!Dead Pixels Adventure!

Troll
1.8 hours
5000 of 5000 achievements

Ok so I actually played this garbage and it’s a shitty platformer with 10 levels and horrible soundtrack. Yay to me for playing it. It also has 5000 achievements with letters and numbers that you get for just running the game. Now I can write something super cool like “boobs” or “gamergrill” on my profile using achievements. Yay again. A true troll.

Half-Life 2

A Detective's Novel

Acceptable
4.7 hours
no achievements

I’m pretty torn on this one. What I liked was the characters (Knox and Mr. Smith were hilarious), and the story itself (the good ending is still bad, yay, my favorite type of story!) - it was an interesting murder case, also not too long and boring which is the case with most VNs.
However, the art is rather bad, so I didn’t even look most of the time, just read, therefore I missed quite an important visual detail regarding the culprit and although solved the case, the second person wasn’t who I thought it was and the game just played itself out lol. Another super annoying thing is the grammar - there are lots of typos, weird phrasing, and man, they don’t know a difference between “where” and “were”.
Overall I still give it a positive rating as the story and characters are way more important, however the developers could have cared more about their own game (although seeing other games from this developer, it is highly unlikely they cared at all).

Boooriiiiing

Still trying (slowly) to get all achievements in Trailer Park Boys: Greasy Money. Playing Among Us with friends from time to time. Started playing Skyrim SE, willing to do all the quests in game in this playthrough. Bought Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!, because I saw from the reviews that it improved a lot compared to the second game. And I'm still yet to finish The Last of Us 2 on PS4. And then I played and dropped all of these:
Half-Life 2
