Monthly Update #6: October


Every month is a backlog addition month..

Slowly trading away all my spare keys for games I would like to play... eventually :P

I haven't played many games this month - worked a few extra late/weekend shifts, and with social events and a preference to sleep, gaming has gone to the backburner. I have decided that I'll keep an eye out during Black Friday sales for an Oculus Rift S after deciding that base stations won't really work for my VR dreams at the moment haha.

Earlier this month I have played around with using Steam's Remote Play on my IPad and with using a controller (for someone who has never owned a console and avoided using a controller, this has been a challenge!). Reason for this is due to having Ulnar Nerve Entrapment from using my keyboard constantly... -__-' But hey, my ability to use a controller has increased dramatically this month with Spyro. :P

On my IPad via Remote Play, Slay the Spire is definitely a stand out. The automatic controls they give you are perfect and the game plays well. I tried Stardew Valley, and it really is not intuitive on a tablet, which is a shame. I used up some of my Google Play credit and got it for my phone, and the controls are so much better! Have to see if I can alter them to be similar... Hidden Object games seem like they may play OK as well. Trying to figure out which ones are worth trying to play. So, if you use Remote Play and have any suggestions.. they will be much appreciated! :)

How is Memorrha so far? It’s on my wishlist!
and you were right… so many new games :D

It’s pretty relaxing - the puzzles I found hard at the beginning, until I discovered what the symbols stand for :P (such as one symbol stands for AND another OR).
And yes, I wasn’t lying at all when I said I added a heap of games to my backlog this month… with my 4 hours played over the last 2 weeks lol >.>

aonrao

I would consider 5 games added as a “heap of games” as well, but this is something else. Well, hopefully you’ll get time and energy to play them all (some day :p)

One day….! >.>
I always find it easier to play small puzzle’ish games I can get away with playing at work haha

aonrao

I definitely understand :P

I haven’t had a chance to try the remote play yet but have been meaning too. It such a great addition. HOG are perfect to play on a tablet probably point & click too. Which HOG did you try?

Jaded

I had started Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond - I’ll have to play through a full game and see how it goes. I’m not sure how it will go with different types of puzzles!
But yeah, definitely recommend Slay the Spire on Tablet for Remote Play. The best I’ve come across so far for tablet!

Vee

Thanks, I’ll give it a try:)
