December 2018


Merry Christmas!


I don’t think I will finish anything this year anymore, so here’s my post for December! I’ll visit my family the whole christmas days and some days later I’ll visit my best friend so we’ll spend New Year’s Eve together! :3
I hope you all had a great year (it’s over so fast again ;w;) and we’ll meet again in 2019! hyped



    1bit Heart

    Full Full Full Full Blank

    It took me like forever to complete this although I don't know why. This may be my fav game from Miwashiba. The characters are cute, music is great and creates a cool atmosphere and the art style is awesome. It plays somewhat like Ace Attorney with the style of The World Ends With You (there also is a character imitating Sho Minamimoto and I couldn't love this guy more than I already do :3). My only complaint is that there is too much to read when making friends. There are plenty characters you have to make presents to and read their story in order to make them your friends and it's required for achieving the good end. Some stories were cool and fun to read while most of them were boring. But else the game was really enjoyable and cute. I wonder what Miwashiba next game will be! (hopefully there will be one >w<)

    The Count Lucanor

    Full Full Full Half Blank

    Can somebody please punch me in the face the next time I buy a horror game with monsters?

    Here the monsters were at least not that tough. I mean I died a lot in the beginning, running into everything that could kill me easily and forgot to heal myself. And when I finally learned how to survive them it took me a reaaaaally long time to get past them because I waited so long behind a safe spot until the monster was far, far away. But yesh. I managed it at least.

    And I'm glad I did! The Count Lucanor tells the story of Hans in Luck but with more horror. It's really well done and I enjoyed it pretty much. It's really creepy and creative with a lot of choices for achievements and multiple endings and some optional content. Should have played it at Halloween...

    The Sexy Brutale

    Full Full Full Full Full

    What an awesome game! I love it when games follow a new idea and I never had played something like this one. At first I was so confused what the heck I'm supposed to do and I thought it's a time based stealth game. It's not. I'm so glad I played it!

    In The Sexy Brutale you play the same day over and over again, controlling time, while you have to save a life in each new level while receiving new abilities and learning more and more about the story, the characters and the Sexy Brutale. I like how you start with nothing and nearly nobody tells you what's going on but everything is revealed in a really natural way like simply conversations until the end where everything is spit out completely.

    The music is amazing. I caught myself lying in bed and was unable to sleep because I was still humming it's ost. The only thing negative were little bugs like the game sometimes starts to stutter if I opened a door or the screen remains black for a few seconds. Those were annoying because every minute sometimes is important (or stressful).

    Also I'm so not an achievement hunter but I had to complete this one. Guess I couldn't let it go.What irony. This may be my favorite game I played this year. And I want more games like this one! °^°

    The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit

    Full Full Full Full Blank

    What a lovely game. And I even enjoyed this more than the Life is Strange games... Chris is a young boy living alone with his dad after his mom died (why does one parent die in every of their games?) and has a wild imagination, pretending to be the super hero Captain Spirit. His father got a drinking problem but cares for his son, still doing horrible mistakes no father should do. What makes for a great conflict.

    I'd so love if there was more about that. There were no choices to make and the story ends with an kind of open end but points out to LiS2. I'd rather play more with Chris than LiS2 tho and I'm hoping we'll meet him in further episodes of LiS2. Because I truly want to know how he is and how the story continues with his father... LiS2 sets around a year after Captain Spirit tho (I guess?) so I don't know how he'd be included... And we may never know if he got a pine tree :(

    The Mooseman

    Full Full Full Blank Blank

    Challenge me!

    The Mooseman didn't feel like a game at all. It's more like “walk really slowly to the right” until it's finished. There's also an auto walk so most of the time I sat there, watched the character walk to the right and enjoyed the beautiful art style. I love myths, I really do, hence I still enjoyed reading all notes about the legends and mystical creatures. So it definitely isn't a game for everyone and if one enjoys myths like me imo Year Walk did a better job. If it wasn't for the gameplay The Mooseman really would be an really awesome game!

How’s Darksiders 3 storywise so far? Does it continue with the events of the series, or is it just something completely random in the darksiders universe?
How do you recommend it for fans of the series?

It’s definately connected to War and Death but I can’t tell you much about that. I heard that there are some twists and revelations about the end of DS2 but I haven’t got there yet. It’s really really hard to recommend it because if I don’t know why you liked the DS series. Gameplay has changed completely and there’s no climbing or collectables, no large areas or “real dungeons”; only straight forward to the next boss. But it’s as dark as the other two games and has the same characters. I’m enjoying it pretty much now but I had a hard time to get used to it’s new style.

I just realized I asked you the same thing the last time you posted.

Gameplay between 1 and 2 differed greatly, and the only thing I don’t like playing is point-and-click so other than that I’m happy as long as it’s solid gameplay.

What I really like was the story for 1, and while 2’s was good it didn’t really give me the more story I wanted, just a touch up on the lore. If Fury ends up meeting up with War or Death to aid War, I’d be really happy.

Any idea where the timeline is for this game?
For example the intro of 1 and the rest of the game had a huge gap between them (a couple of centuries iirc), and 2’s story was somewhere in the middle in which Death is trying to prove War’s innocence

Iirc it should play around the same time as DS2 or shortly after the intro of DS1. The game starts with War being chained befor the Charred Council. You can also see Strife for the first time! But she is not on her way to support Death or help War but to kill the Seven Deadly Sins. But I don’t know yet if there will be more.

Sigh, I’m guessing we won’t get a conclusion to the series anytime soon. I guess I’ll just wait for the next Darksiders game to see if that concludes it.

There is auto walk for The Mooseman? o.o I wish I knew that when I played it. Agreed on it not really feeling like a game. Sadly I didn’t care about the myths either so it definitely wasn’t a game for me.

If you don’t mind me asking, how is Staxel from 1-10?

Happy holidays! :)

Imo it’s a pity that the gameplay was that boring. The Moosemen had so much potential with it’s great artstyle :/

I’d give it a 7 with a lot of room for improvement. It really is addictive but I hope for faster bug fixes and improvements.
Thanks! I hope you’ll have great holidays as well! :)

Yea the artstyle is what got me to try the game, such a shame :(

Thank you for the info! I had my eye on it for a while, might leave it be till it gets out of early access then.
Thank you :)

Can somebody please punch me in the face the next time I buy a horror game with monsters?

I do the same thing to myself for some reason… I hated Count Lucanor. I don’t like horror games as well, but it was actually the save system that made me dislike that game so much. Paying a coin just to save adds nothing but pressure to a genre I dislike. Definitely not my cup of tea. :/

Happy holidays!

It’s taking me a while to take down 1bit Heart myself. Not really sure why either, I love it, the art style is great, the music is better and it is just all so stylish. Glad you found the time to beat it, I’ll be looking forward to their next title right with yeah. ^_^
