Let’s PoP!

I’m participating in Pay or Play for the first time and so far I managed to beat one of the games (which doubles as a PAGWOSG entry).

Broken Age

11.1 hours, 36 of 45 achievements

I’m not really fond of point & click games but this one grabbed me almost right away. The art style was quite unique and the plot was interesting with a mix of predictable and unpredictable twists (Malek being one of the baddies was so unsurprising I doubt it counts as a twist XD). The ending was a bit disappointing imo, almost as disappointing as your average HOG’s ending.

Also I played some games for the BLAEO Monthly Theme because why not?

Super Turbo Demon Busters!

9.9 hours, 18 of 24 achievements

This was an ok-ish game that felt a tad too basic at times and you have to rely on dumb luck at times to win on the last half. It’s pretty noticeable this was a port of a mobile game and some of its mechanics like map navigation don’t translate too well on PC. Most achievements are easy to obtain but some of them require way too much grinding (and I don’t like the game enough to try to 100% it)

I liked these games quite a bit, even if the face art screams “modified default art” and some faces look too similar to each other (Sabina and Tarjae’s faces for example). Rather than a proper RPG this was an adventure game where you have to pick up items and combine them if required to progress into the story. Story-wise it was fine but the characters have enough charisma to keep you interested on the game (Sabina is my favourite by far). My only gripe with the games was the low resolution. I wouldn’t mind it in your typical RPG but it makes it unnecessarily hard to find some key items here.

Until the next update!
