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).
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
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.
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.
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
I may come bad to it yet again…as I tend to do.
This time I played A LOT to grab some rare achievements. Will come back later for sure :)
