Still like it very much. Hopefully will be finishing it in February, baring any major wins. For more comprehensive review please check our my December Update.

but not as much as I’d like since I won a bunch of games in my Playing Appreciated group that needed playing. Click on banners for reviews. So here goes all the games I played for PA:

Sword of Asumi

Was an OK Visual Novel. A bit on the short end. Complete playtime to get all achievements was under 4 hours.

Husk

Not really fun to play.

OK. I give up. After several tries to get out of the police station, I even watched several walkthrough videos on youtube, but for some reason it did not work like in the videos, I finally get out of there, just to end up in some caves. I can't get out of the caves, since the exit is blocked by a monster, that you can not sneak past (believe me I tried and it will kill you every time). So you have to kill that thing, problem though I don't have any ammo and I checked every spot where ammo should be, but none is to be found.

So after running around for half an hour in a dark cave I give up :(

Game is not really fun to play. Too frustrating in my opinion. Controlls also lack, they are too clunky. If you are not standing in exactly the right angle in front of an object you won't be able to interact. Can make gameplay quite frustrating.

Like these types of games so I was happy with this win. Nice old-style match-3 game with a twist. Liked the new improved bonus tiles. And also retrieving the building blocks for the wonders by collecting certain tiles is a nice touch. And then building the wonders stone by stone.
