September
With my last year started I am finding much less time to do anything and honestly feeling a little burned out between academics and work. So, as things have been late, my reviews and posts will be lacking any quality. Hopefully my games speak louder than words :3

The Heiress

4.0 hours, no achievements


Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!

29.7 hours, 50 of 50 achievements

This game gets a little mind numbing as you are mostly managing workers on constructing weapons. If it weren't for the humorous references, and having a show go on in the background, it would have tired me out much faster. I will be hesitant to buy any more of the holy potatoes! series, but will still consider. If you want to complete it, you will not only need to buy the DLC (it doesn't add a whole lot), but also make A LOT of weapons.


Mirror

14.5 hours, 114 of 114 achievements

With the DLC fully released I was able to change from beaten to complete.


Poker Pretty Girls Battle: Texas Hold'em

13.5 hours, no achievements

I can't say I really understand the appeal of this game. The girls are grossly over proportioned, and the texas hold'em factor leaves much to be desired. For every level you face four girls. You only get their and random character portraits to whom you face. Every level higher you have to face them that many more times (level four you have to beat each table four times.) Choose Poker Night over this, at least it will be more aesthetically pleasing.


Sound of Drop - fall into poison -

5.7 hours, 21 of 21 achievements

Probably my first real horror VN (Russian Horror story doesn't count). The opening drags on a little as does the end, but the middle really does well on the horror aspects considering. I only wish they had more unique CGs for the bad endings. Still good overall.


Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition

12.8 hours, no achievements

I had played a later game in the series, and had a bit of higher expectations. Generally it's good, the dodge system set itself from the other arena shooters and most of the modes were enjoyable. However Deathmatch as well as many of the maps were quite unpleasant…


Unreal II: The Awakening

9.2 hours, no achievements

The sequel to Unreal leaves much to be desired. Enjoyable, but much to be desired. It lost much of the appeal of the first game, which includes removing the unique dodge system. The graphics suffered from being caught in between graphical evolution, and the story is not interesting in the slightest. It's biggest flaw is the enemies, more creature enemies and the "Skaarj" were good to fight, but anything with a standard military weapon was not. (auto aim and high damage makes you exploit game flaws in order to continue)


Unreal Gold

17.3 hours, no achievements

Much like Quake and Doom, Unreal brings you to a world mixed with Sci-Fi and Fantasy. It's more unique quality is the dodging system, tapping a direction twice lets you jump. Great for dodging attacks and getting yourself killed! :D I'd still say you are better of going for the other two greater games in the genre, but this was still good as well. An expansion was made that included voice acting from your main character, though it didn't add much, and the experience in the expansion was not great. Probably the best part was the feeling of upgrading your starter weapon (dispersion pistol, regenerates ammo, shoots slow) which not only makes a wackier designs each time, but more powerful and useful at the end.


The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

23.1 hours, 34 of 52 achievements

Another enjoyable entry in the Witcher series, playing it prior on GOG and getting it for free on Steam. It is however the most clunky in the series, it is sort of the awkward teenage years for the series. It advances and modernizes graphics and combat compared to the first, but not quite perfect like the third. The story is still great, though I never really felt the choices were difficult to make.



With all that’s said and done, September is finally over and we can progress into more important things. Things like getting SPOOKY, lets welcome the only month that matters to me Spooky Introductions
