Winter 2023

Wintermoor Tactics Club

17 hours
Tactical RPG Steam Beaten

A neat tactical RPG with a steamlined gameplay. The characters are very funny and the story serves the gameplay very well. I didn't find the game particularly difficult but the end was a tight victory.

The Complex

2 hours
FMV Steam Beaten

Not as nice as Night Shift, it still manages to tell a nice story. I've only played it once so I can't tell if the choices matter than much but it still was time well spent.

Adventure of a Lifetime

6 hours
Visual Novel Steam Completed

I really don't know why I enjoy VNs that much. I guess it's the slow pace and the anime style. Anyway, this one is a good one. It's very emotional but mostly caters for teens and young adults.

Five Dates

4 hours
FMV Steam Beaten

Another FMV for this month (though I played this one first). Taking place during the COVID-19 lockdown, it was a nice experiment. Since I'm married, I haven't dated in forever but it was still nice to pretend.

Endless Fables 4: Shadow Within

4 hours
Hidden Object Steam Completed

Last entry in the series, I felt it was better than the previous ones. It's a very straightforware HOG and the story will keep you entertained for a while. Easy to complete.

Gear.Club Unlimited

30 hours
Racing Steam Completed

Not a particularly good racing game, it still kept me going until I had got first place on every race. I follows the mobile game model and the performance is questionble but I don't regret spending 30 hours on it.

Apotheon

5 hours
Action Steam Dropped

I really hate dropping a game because even if a section is bad, it may get better. With Apotheon, I just couldn't. Combat is very imprecise and while the ancient Greece art is very nice, it just isn't enough.

Yeah, Apotheon really sucked; I don’t blame you for giving up on that one. Honestly, that game was one of the main reasons I stopped buying games at all.

I was attracted by the visuals but the combat is terrible and since fighting is 90% of the gameplay, it quickly stopped being fun.

Good to hear about you! Congrats on the progress and good luck for your next quarter ;)

Lengray

Thanks. While I post less often now, I still regularly lurk about. It’s entertaining (and sometimes inspiring) to read about other people’s progress.

How do you like Ring Fit Adventure? I have it, started it and then.. well forgot about it again… wondering if I should try again :)

Lengray

I absolutely love it! For the first time, I’ve found a way of working out that I manage to stick to. I usually play it for about an hour twice a week and over the past few months (I didn’t play it regularly before that) it has made a nice difference. I feel more energetic, I sleep better and, as a side effect, I eat more healthily to keep the benefits. What more could I want?
