The Longest Journey - completed

As expected, the story is good and I liked the characters, some being quite funny. I probably listened to most of the available conversations and now I want more ! (lucky me, there’s a sequel ^^).
Although I liked the story, this confirmed that I really don’t like this kind of game, as it feels sometimes that it tries voluntarily to waste your time :). You have to walk around a lot, VERY slowly, the worst being “Flipper” where you need to travel across 3 or 4 empty screens just to see him… multiple times.
I used a guide for 2/3rd of the game, and even with that, I’ve been stuck multiple times because I didn’t had a specific conversation or didn’t do something exactly like the game expect.
So, I don’t have a lot to say about it : not my kind of game, but good story and characters. Too bad it didn’t age very well (hard to run properly, and graphics are a bit ugly now).
Achievements : No achievements.

Serial Cleaner - completed

I finished this game last month, but I still had achievements to complete !
Achievements : There was 10 achievements to complete. Nothing really hard, some a little too grindy (play all challenge modes…). Replaying the game, it felt a little bit easier, and I could enjoy the music again (the one for the level “God of thunder” is so awesome), so great :).
According to BLAEO, it seems that I spent as much time doing this than my first playthrough. Time went so fast !
So, great game.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - unfinished

I enjoyed Borderlands 2 a lot, so now I decided to play the pre-sequel !
I’ll discuss it more when I’m done, but so far it looks like just more Borderlands ! This is as enjoyable and I like that they added a few mechanics (ice weapons, the oxygen, more verticality…), to make things a little different.
And you can play as claptrap : best game ever, 10/10 ! :)
Achievements : I usually don’t check the achievements before I finish a game, so I’m not focusing on it.
