First week of October

Better late than never with the post.

Current balance of acquired - beaten games: 89 - 97 = -8

Completed SG wins

Pahelika: Revelations HD
Playtime: 6.8 hours
Achievements: 18 of 18 (100%)
Review:By far one of the worst and most frustrating hidden object games I have played and I have played a lot of them. Every action you want to do is just a massive hunt for the pixel the game actually wants to click you on. And the fact that you have to play it multiple times to get a 100% it makes it even worse. A lot of the positive reviews are also very obviously fake and it takes about 30 seconds of looking into it to figure that out.

Other completed games

Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy
Playtime: 1.8 hours

Review: A hidden object game that didn't really stand the test of time really well, both graphically and gameplay wise. Other than that I haven't encountered any issues. I could not get it to run on Linux no matter what so this one had to be played on my old Windows 7 machine...

I love the achievement
Fast Mind
For Completing a stage within 5 minutes

When many hogs have the 1 minute timer

Yeah there’s like 4 positives in a row and even they aren’t really positive. 0.2 timer, okay. Totally positive

Oh the stage part it is not what you actually think it is. The achievement is to complete a whole chapter in 5 minutes, not just a HOS or minigame. If there wouldnt be one or 2 quite short chapters that achievement would be completely unreasonable. There is also an achievement to finish a jigsaw in less than 1 minute which is literally impossible to do without abusing a bug. When I say this game is one of the worst HOGs I have ever played I mean it. Honestly I can’t even tell you a worse one from the top of my head.

Oh its not just the timer. If you go look at what games those accounts have all reviewed you will see a pattern (on top of all accounts being private and with no avatar and the date of the reviews themselves). Aka:
Cataegis : The White Wind
Gold Rush! Anniversary
Krinkle Krusher
Mercury: Cascade into Madness
Baseball Mogul 2015
Baseball Mogul Diamond
Football Mogul 15
Football Mogul 2014
Tactical Soccer The New Season
Broadsword : Age of Chivalry
and very likely more

all have fake reviews. Now if only Valve actually gave a shit and would do something about it.

Cece09

Oh wow okay that makes a lot more sense but damn 5 minutes

Sadly valve only cares about negative reviews. They don’t care if you post fake positives cuz why should they

You’re review alone of Pahelika: Revelations made me frusterated, I’m glad I haven’t bought the game :P Hope you enjoy your next set of games!

Do yourself a favor and never buy it :D Thank you! So far this week has been another terrible HOG, but also a alright one at least.
