It’s been a long time since my last progress report. Why? Because I’m too lazy to type and my boss was on vacation, no days off. I played lots of games in the past three weeks and I even managed to finish some. So, let’s see…

• Hexcells
  

  40 minutes playtime

  4 of 6 achievements

I started playing Hexcells for the monthly theme and I’m loving it. I used to play Minesweeper a lot when I didn’t have internet. I almost beat it in one sitting but my work finished early and my boss kicked me out. Gotta love those quiet days at work.

• Chef Solitaire: USA
  

  18 hours playtime

  20 of 20 achievements

This is a recent sg win that I managed to beat today. At work, obviously, where people normally play Solitaire. It was ok, but there were way too many levels. Looking at the global achievements only 10% of the players finished it.

• Leviathan: The Last Day of the Decade
  

  9 hours playtime

  5 of 17 achievements

Another sg win that I started a few days ago looking for a casual read. It’s a detective visual novel by Russian devs I believe. The translation is rather poor, people were complaining that at some point they didn’t bother to translate at all, but I didn’t get there yet, so we’ll see. Lots of spelling mistakes as well.
Despite that I’m liking it so far, it’s very different from the anime VNs I played. The dialogues are funny, it looks good and the world seems inspired from the Harry Potter movies.

• Renowned Explorers: International Society
  

  56 hours playtime

  111 of 148 achievements

Somebody made my day by gifting me this game because it was on my wishlist. Thanks, Pesmerga :)
It’s a mix of genres. You start with a team of three explorers, each with unique stats and skills, and go on expeditions around the world trying to gain enough renown to become the most famous explorer.
Every location has random events. You earn different types of tokens (status, research, collect) from events which you can use in cities after each expedition to hire helpers, buy equipment or do more research to help you in your next expeditions. This game has high replayability. I’m so hooked.

• Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden
  

  8 hours playtime

  14 of 20 achievements

• 9 Clues 2: The Ward
  

  11 hours playtime

  39 of 39 achievements

Two HOGs down for last month’s Bad Trip theme.

• LIMBO
  

  6 hours playtime

  5 of 13 achievements

I finally managed to beat LIMBO all thanks to the monthly theme. This is the game that made me realize how much I hate platformers. It’s not the game, it’s me.

• Stardew Valley
  

  2 hours playtime

  0 of 40 achievements

My most wanted game. I bought it and installed it as soon as the sale started. And my expectations were too high, I got bored of it very quick.

• The Walking Dead: Season Two
  

  7 hours playtime

  40 of 40 achievements

I finished it in two sittings, it was just as good as the first one. I like Jane

• Morphopolis
  

  3 hours playtime

  13 of 13 achievements

Pick this up while it’s on sale if you don’t have it already. It’s a short and relaxing hidden object game.

I think I might have forgotten something, but it’s already a long post. :(
