Picked this up in a trade a month or so ago, then pushed myself to play it when it appeared in the Humble Choice December pack.

Not sure what drew me to it actually, maybe the story/setting/reviews. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a point and click game. The story was interesting and kept me interested for the duration of the game. I went back to get a few extra achievements after finishing it too (rare for me). Overall a pretty short game. Good in a bundle, okay with a deep discount, I don't think it's worth the full price (purely based on playtime and my own tastes). A high 72% of achievements and into the beaten pile.

I played Just Cause 2 a while back and enjoyed the mindless exploration and gradual progress as I played in short bursts. I felt like doing that again and was pretty busy at work, so grabbed JC3 and played it over the last month or so.

Pretty much more of the same if you've played JC2. Better graphics, a wingsuit (not in 2, if I remember correctly but I'm not interested enough to stop writing and check!). I initially only got the base game despite the fact that the XXXL version is often on sale. That's because I rarely play DLC as I'm usually satisfied with just the main game and, at first glance, a lot of the DLC seemed to be additional weapons that I wasn't interested in. I don't think the XXXL version was actually available in my region, which was another problem. So, I started with just the base game then picked up the "Air, Land and Sea" DLC separately. I'm still working on the DLC, so my achievements my increase a little but I doubt I'll get to 100%. I've jumped from 48% to 59% using the DLC, so I guess I could get another 5-10%. I like the fact I can just dip into it and complete one or two bases at a time though. *Update* I finished the main stories in the DLC and jumped to 66%, I think that's enough for now.

Another recent acquisition. I think I tried this on Gamepass and wasn't particularly impressed, but don't think I really gave it enough of a chance. That, good reviews, and the fact that it was bundled fairly recently made me interested again and I'm glad I went back to it.

Lots of fun. Some very difficult parts (for me at least) and I spent a decent 26 hours working through it and searching for collectibles. The most difficult parts for me were the chain dash sections. There were a few rooms with enemies that were tough, but that was mainly because I arrived with no health packs. The bosses were tough but doable and it was satisfying to gradually learn patterns and edge closer to beating each boss. Not many more achievements I think I can get, so it'll be going into the beaten pile at 56%.

Overwhelmingly positive reviews and very cheap, I think it was the equivalent of less than $1. It's not really a game. I guess a very, very short visual novel. There are options, but even with a few playthroughs I only spent 11 minutes on the game and got all the achievements. The subject is ok, graphics are a bit difficult to make out at times. I wouldn't really recommend it. I think the subject matter could have been incorporated into something a bit longer. But, on the positive side it's a rare 'completed' game in the backlog!

Very fun game. I didn't know a lot about this but the trailer looked fun. I wasn't disappointed. Simple parts, but the game changes quite a lot and is pretty high paced. It's difficult to describe, but kind of plays like an action movie. There are different parts where you work through a train, on top of a train, in a car, on a motorbike, and in a plane. Pixel graphics and the gameplay was kind of retro too, pretty simple. I died a lot but beat the game on both easy and normal before picking up a few extra achievements. Well over my average at 75% and into the beaten pile.

Had this on my wishlist on and off for a while. It's only available through the Steam store, so was looking to pick it up in the Winter sale and then I was gifted it, so no more procrastinating! Fun game. A little...hmmm...edgy kind of humour. Think along the lines of South Park. There were a surprising number of different paths through the day at Kindergarten to get the collectibles. I found some myself then used a guide to help me. Lots and lots of restarts of complete runs and 'rooms' within a single run. I thought I'd played for longer than 6 hours, but I guess each run was pretty short. Anyway, fun cheap game so would recommend it if the kind of humour is what you like. A rare completed game.

I tried a demo of this during a Steam event earlier in the year. Very simple concept but great fun to play. Also, although it is very difficult in parts it didn't feel like I would never be able to get past a particular room. You basically avoid spinning discs that kill you in each room and as you progress there's a greater variety of discs with different effects. There are some power-ups to help you as you go. Lots of trial and error and a little luck for some of the rooms. I beat all the regular rooms and saw the game credits, then discovered there is a 'hard' set of rooms. Struggling with those a little so will mark this as 'Beaten' for now and see how I go. An easy game to dip into every now and then.
