After one month I decided to crawl back to the surface to write some update to my backlog.
The door opens with a silent creak while I take a deep breath of fresh air. My eyes blink in the unfamiliar light of the sun:
Still playing X3 - Still no live.

X3: Terran Conflict
267 hours playtime
18 of 33 achievements
Well, I cannot play the same game nonstop for 250h, so in between I finished these games:
|
Standard HOG published by Artifex Mundi. Nothing new if you already played a few of them. |
|
This game was designed for multiplayer, but there are no other players online. I played through the single player. It is o.k. but it is not a game I can play for 10 hours. You are able to get some multiplayer achievements with local multiplayer. |
|
A little adventure, that plays like a HOG but without HOG and only a few minigames. Easy 100% and quick playthrough. I liked it. |
|
This game is often compared to Zelda, which I never played. It is a nice game, worth the time playing, but it is not good enough I would recommand it to my friends. While the boss fights are really, really good, the rest is a little bit too shallow for my taste.
I did not go for 100% because that only means backtracking every area. |
|
Pretty funny "change story with your decisions"-game, designed a way, you want to have a few playthroughs, just to see how the story develops with different decisions. Ridiculous characters, a lot of humor, does not take itself too serious. If you you have it in your library, I recommand to play it.
I did not go for 100% achievements because this means a few more playthroughs where I allready have seen everything and only a few seconds will be differnt. |
|
This is one of the best HOG I have ever played. If you like HOG, get it. And it is not from Artifex Mundi, so you do not will get the same mini games you already solved three times before.
You may easy miss 100% achievements with one playthrough since at some point you cannot go back to some areas and find some missing collectibles there. |
|
I liked the story mode and for me it was a lot of fun, even a little bit addictive. Though gets boring very quick as soon as you have a perfect playthrough. For a game with this price tag, 5 hours of fun are o.k. |
|
It is not a bad HOG, but after playing Portal of Evil this one feels below average. Easy 100% and quick playthrough. |
That’s all. Thanks for reading. Now I am going back to play X3.
I don’t remember Morningstar being a HoG. :s
And it is not from Artifex Mundi, so you do not will get the same mini games you already solved three times before.
Haha, yes. It can’t be that hard to come up with something new. Really seems like their games are same thing different skin now.
Yes, you remember right, it is not a HOG. But it plays like one, just that it has no hidden object scene. Sorry, could not describe better.
Added Dyscourse in my wishlist, thanks! I really like how it looks.
