The Wild at Heart

21 hours playtime, 29 of 29 achievements

One of my favourite game I've played this year. I had loved the demo last summer and the final game was everything I hoped and some more. Gameplay-wise it's using a mechanic similar to Pikmin (the protagonists are followed by a group of little creatures of different types that you have to use to solve different puzzles as you explore), but better in my opinion. The graphic style is absolutely adorable and very detailled, the story is nice. I had an overall great time and I strongly recommend it if the gameplay appeals to you. For those who have it, it's on the gamepass.

Subnautica: Below Zero

35 hours playtime, 13 of 13 achievements

I had been waiting for a long time for this game to come out of EA, and I was really excited about it with how much I loved the original Subnautica. This game is both similar and quite different as it adds new game mecanics, a new story, a whole new environement and a new protagonist, which I really loved even more than the original one. Oh and of course, new nightmarish fauna, or it wouldn't be Subnautica. I had taken a few weeks break on it to play other things but went back to it a few days ago and dived right back in the addiction. Strongly recommend it to those who enjoyed the first game.

Wasteland 3: The Battle of Steeltown

10 hours playtime, 4 of 12 achievements

Not counting it as a beaten this month as I only finished the DLC and still need to finish the main campaign but I wanted to say a word about it. I loved going back to Wasteland 3, and recently they had a big patch that added crafting into the base game as well as some very convenient quality of life features. The DLC in itself mostly worked fine for me (I had a few bugs on my first game session but then all went smooth) but some people are reporting lots of bugs. Story wise, it was a nice contained storyline on a separate location. I played with a level 15-17 group which scaled pretty well, I don't know about people who already have completed the game going back for it though. Maybe wait for the second DLC to come out this summer and see what it's worth.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion

3 hours playtime, 34 of 34 achievements

So I started the month committing tax evasion :sweat:. It was an overall really fun game, reminiscent of the old 2D Zelda games in the design and gameplay. The writing was really funny, it's full of references and memes and the design is adorable. The only downside is that the game is really short. Worth your time but be aware it's so short.

Littlewood

50 hours playtime, 52 of 60 achievements

This was a cool town management/farming/crafting/adventuring game. It was really addictive (I promise, just one more day and I stop playing) and I put a lot of time into it. I've put 50 hours into it, so i'm very happy with it, but I have two small criticism. First, if you want all the achievements, some of them are extremely grindy, to the point that I don't think I'll go for completion. The second problem I had is that the "ending" is very underwhelming to say the least. That being said, that's not the important point in a game of this genre, and that part is done really well. I would recommend the game if the genre appeals to you.

Insurmountable

4 hours playtime, 12 of 26 achievements

I was very intrigued by this roguelike about mountain climbing. It's a pretty uncommon theme and the idea seemed fun to me. You move your alpinist on an hexagonal map with different elevations and attempt to successfully climb (and descend) 3 summits. For that you'll need to manage different vital stats and use the equipment you can find along the way. I really liked the game even though when I played it, it suffered from a lack of variety in the events. It's been patched since then and more events have been added so I'll for sure play it some more. Recommended if you like roguelikes and the theme appeals to you.

Don't Forget Me

5 hours playtime, 6 of 12 achievements

I really liked the ambiance and the whole setup of the game, even if it wasn't exactly what I expected. I was a bit disappointed by the abrupt way the game ends but the devs already announced they're looking into changing that so for sure I'll revisit it later and see the paths I did not explore. Interesting first game of a small studio nonetheless, maybe wait for a sale as it's pretty short. Still will look forward to their future games, they have good potential.

INMOST

4 hours playtime, 14 of 29 achievements

I really REALLY liked Inmost. I liked the demo they released in a past festival, but the full game was even better. It had an interestingly told story that I won't spoil here, which I was not really expecting (I thought it was more "just" a puzzle plateformer), a beautiful pixelart design and a great soundtrack. Definitely a recommendation for this one if you like puzzle plateformer gameplay in a beautiful package.

Rusty Lake Hotel

3 hours playtime, 23 of 23 achievements

Well this one was a very short, and free, end of the month addition and completion. I always had been a bit curious about this series of games while keeping myself away from being spoiled somehow so that was intriguing. It's a weird but interesting short puzzle/escape room kind of game and I overall liked it. Of course it's short so don't expect too much but give it a try. I'll have to look into the rest of the series.

Supraland

30 hours playtime, 58 of 98 achievements

Supraland was a surprising one for me. It was really good and a lot of fun. I had picked it as part of the tag challenge for Sandbox but little did I know that it wasn't really one in term of gameplay, but rather the sandbox is the universe in which the game is going on. You play as some little toy in a world built by a kid in a big sandbox. It's sort of a 3D plateformer metroidvania I guess? But what it is mostly, is really good. If any of you played the DLC, is it worth getting?

Neurodeck

4 hours playtime, 14 of 26 achievements

Neurodeck was a game I really wanted to like, but felt short in a lot of aspects. It's a mental health/phobia themed roguelike deckbuilder, but it kind of ressort to some clichés for the mental health part that could end up sending the wrong message. Visually it's quite well done but it sadly ended up being a less good Slay the Spire were the theme wasn't properly done, imho.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

Game Boy, 27 of 37 achievements

It was a bit more complex than the first Kirby's Dream Land (and longer too) while being still a lot of fun. Getting to the true ending took me a bit of time but it was all worth it.

Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1)

6 hours playtime, 47 of 54 achievements

This game on the other hand was just a massive disappointment, and even tho I got the key for free I still felt scammed. The game is merely a prologue to the whole supposed story, yet priced like a whole game. The story only start in the closing sequence of the game, which will supposedly have 2 more fully prices episodes after that. So 60-70€ for a point and click WELL THEN. Without me. Oh and don't let my playtime fool you, I forgot the game on the start menu for at least 1-2h and I did a lot of clicking everywhere (because EVERYTHING is uselessly clickable 3 times). The game can be done in less then 2h playing normally. My advice is a solid don't buy and don't waste your time playing.

Dorfromantik

5 hours playtime, 9 of 47 achievements

My great surprise of the month. A super chill tile-placing city countryside builder with a great artstyle and a relaxing yet addictive gameplay. Think about Carcassonne but solo, and way prettier. Strong recommendation. Plus it's super cheap.

Creaks

6 hours playtime, 28 of 28 achievements

Creaks is a beautiful puzzle game by Amanita Design. It differs from their previous games gameplaywise, which were all point and clicks, but the artstyle and the storytelling is still equally great. I really loved the game and it was a perfect counterbalance to all the roguelikes I played this month. I definitely would recommend it if you like puzzle solving games.

Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

Game Boy, 21 of 26 achievements

After being the villain in Super Mario Land 2, Wario became the protagonist in this sequel. The game takes a lot from the previous iteration in the series: the power ups giving different abilities, the map, the secret levels... but then renewed the interest in adding the collectible treasures. It also has multiple endings, even though they only depend on how many of the treasures and coins you managed to collect along the way. Once you unlock one you can still play on the same safe file to collect more things and replay the final level to see if you get a better ending. I really liked replaying it, it was fitting to what I remembered.

Ghost Files 2: Memory of a Crime

4 hours playtime, 23 of 23 achievements

One of the multiple HoGs I played this month. Nice, visually pleasant but not too memorable story wise, I'd still put it in the mid-high tier of Artifex Mundi games. It does its job, which is all I expect from those games.

The Myth Seekers 2: The Sunken City

5 hours playtime, 28 of 28 achievements

Another Artifex game, and another fine one. This one is more on the fantasy/supernatural side compared to the previous one, so it really depends on what you prefer, I don't mind as I like both and I'm never really in those for the story.

Monster Sanctuary

77 hours playtime, 34 of 34 achievements

This game is like the love child of a metroidvania and Pokemon, but better. It has a lot to explore, a lot of monsters to pick from to build your team (and all of them are actually useful given the working synergy) and it gets more and more fun as you get access to more monsters. This took me most of my gaming time this month (and the previous one), and I REGRET NOTHING. I could have finished a lot faster but I went for all of the cheevos just to have an excuse to play more. The only complaint I have really is an sudden peak of difficulty a bit before the final boss (that then goes back to normal actually, I struggled less with said final boss than that spike I'm talking about). That being said, it was such a satisfying game and I wish there was more of it.

Uncharted Tides: Port Royal

4 hours playtime, 19 of 22 achievements

Another okayish Artifex, a bit underwhelming compared to the others I played this month. On the plus side, it had an interesting system with two main protagonists you keep switching between, but on the other hand it had some BS missable cheevos (where you need to do several things perfectly on first try, so if you miss them you'd have to replay the whole thing to get them).

Wario Land 2

Game Boy, 16 of 20 achievements

I was surprised by this one on how full of content it was. It differs from its predecessor as it removes both the power ups and the lives all together. You can't die and when you get hurt you lose coins instead. The game is more focused on puzzle solving and finding every level's secret treasure room, collecting each of said treasures as well as some map pieces at the end of the level, both through a minigame. The game is linear at first but once you reach the first ending, you can revisit any level as well as unlock a bunch of other levels (actually it doubles the amount of levels that you played reaching the first ending). Those levels allow you to reach multiple other endings in different storyline branches. Finally, if you collect all treasures and map pieces you unlock a final massive secret level that you can explore and try to beat your best time on. The whole thing took me a bit under 17h and I was even more impressed as this was still a Game Boy game and when you compare it to the first Super Mario Land, the difference in complexity, design and content is really massive. In any case, a great play.

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard

2 hours playtime, 6 of 6 achievements

A cute stylized first person P&C, sequel to the first Frog Detective game. If you liked the first, you'll like this one too. Nice for a short adventure, not too complex, obviously, but super cute.

Journey

2 hours playtime, 2 of 14 achievements

I'm very torn by this game. On one hand, it's an absolutely beautiful walking sim. On the other hand, the saving system (and lack there is of) is abysmal. To the point that I feel I missed out on some content because of the frustration of not being able to save. Yes the game is pretty short and a lot of people might play it in one sitting, but I didn't and had to repeat some progress I lost. There is no "Save and Quit" option and the autosave only happens at very scarce points. In a game where I'd rather take my time and see all there is to see, I thought it was a really stupid design choice. Anyway, I plan on going back to it and re-explore it in the future, because I probably missed a lot considering I only got 2 achievements finishing the game. I'll just try to pick a day where I can have a long continuous gaming session.

Family Mysteries: Poisonous Promises

4 hours playtime, 24 of 24 achievements

Another Artifex HoG, I actually quite enjoyed this one (still forgettable story but a nice chill game for a sunday afternoon).

Gems of War

Probably over 1000 hours playtime, 77 of 90 achievements

My first decision of the year was to finally retire (at least for now) from Gems of War. I've spent too many hours (and nearly 2 years+ ?) in this game and I started feeling a burnout. I don't wanna recommend this game and get people addicted to it, neglecting their backlog, but it's a pretty good free puzzle game. The only down side I'd say is that it's a bit too addictive.

Murder by Numbers

27 hours playtime, 4 of 4 achievements

I loved this game. I'd describe it as if Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney and Mario Picross had a love child. It's a weird combination but it worked for me and it worked well. I hope there was more of those.

FRAMED Collection

2 hours playtime, 18 of 18 achievements

It's not bad but I found it a tad boring. It took me only 2 hours to complete both games yet I couldn't wait to be done. Sad because I liked the concept a lot and it wasn't even badly done. I just didn't care much for it.

Marco & The Galaxy Dragon

6 hours playtime, 15 of 15 achievements

Best visual novel I've played in a long while. It's colorful, it's cute, it has a cool story and it has a crazy rythm. The only negative point I can find it is that's it's "only" 6h long, so pretty short for a VN.

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension

6 hours playtime, 34 of 34 achievements

Since there is no game, there is no review. JUST GO PLAY IT. Also don't spoil yourself, go in blind. If you're a cheevo hunter, it's easy to go back at the end and get what you missed, don't ruin the game for yourself.

Little Misfortune

4 hours playtime, 30 of 35 achievements

It was a good game, but I liked Fran Bow better. Still nice to play and really not too long. Recommended for "dark but cute" P&C lovers.

There Is No Game: Jam Edition 2015

18 minutes playtime, 7 of 7 achievements

If you're not sure the previously mentionned game is for you, this is the free concept game version of the other. Obviously a lot easier and shorter but will give you an idea on the humor. Thanks Kale for finding this one.

Ocean's Heart

20 hours playtime, 18 of 22 achievements

My big surprise of the month, it was a great adventure exploration game heavily inspired by the old 2D Zelda games, but with modern twists like crafting. Overall it's not 100% perfect (Incountered a few bugs but the devs provided a quick workaround and will fix it in the next patch) but it was a great experience for nostalgics of those kind of games. It's also really beautiful and the pixel art style is amazing. I recommend it if you like the genre, it's really a great one.

Super Mario Land

Game Boy, 22 of 37 achievements

Crazily shorter than I remembered. The whole game is actually under 30min from start to finish while in my little kid memory it was super super long. Ok, I'm better at video games than I was then, but I strongly suspect that the fact that there was no sort of save system at all was probably helping giving that impression. I clearly played those first levels so many times that 30 years later I still knew where all the secret stuff were.

Kirby's Dream Land

Game Boy, 8 of 17 achievements

Another way shorter than I remembered. The normal mode was a bit too easy but the hard mode that you unlock afterwards is a brutal spike in difficulty. Cute though.

Super Mario Land 2

Game Boy, 13 of 28 achievements

Better than the first one, definitely more interesting. The closest thing that there was as an "open world" mario game back them. Loved replaying it.

Mario's Picross

Game Boy, 26 of 89 achievements

Definitely what I remembered. A lot of content for picross lovers and still good to play. Took me quite a long time to play all of the levels but it was a nice chilling game in my time off. Will keep playing the rest of the series, definitely.

Despite the progress not looking too spectacular, I'm still ok with it. The second group progress only looks "bad" because I've made some changes to it, split it in two and some games were moved to a separate list in which everything got played. It's just hard to reflect it in the visual stats result, but I'm okay with it. I still plan to try and do better with it in 2021.

More or less the previous year's plans but I'm considering adding some sort of bingo card inspired by this event.

Other than that, one of my massive decision for 2021 was to take a break and stop playing Gems of War for the time being. Not only I was feeling a burnout to play it daily (you know how those free to play with daily tasks go) but also I put a crazy amount of time into it (not reflected in the steam hours count because I mostly played it on the tablet, but I probably passed a thousand hours on it) that took away from the other backlog fight. We'll see how it goes.

Haven

15 hours playtime, 25 of 30 achievements

Haven's theme was not much my cup of tea as I don't care much about romance. That being said, the gameplay was fun enough for me to play the whole thing. The exploration part consist in gliding around the planet where those space Romeo & Juliet lovers have crashlanded and try to collect things to repair their ship while trying to solve what is going on with the planet itself. It's not gonna be everyone's thing but it's a nice chill game with an amazing soundtrack.

El Hijo - A Wild West Tale

13 hours playtime, 17 of 22 achievements

El Hijo was a surprising little stealth indie game wrapped in a gorgeous animated style spaghetti western package. It's non violent, gorgeous but sadly it's not without its defaults when it comes to some approximations in the controls, which can be annoying for a stealth game. That being said, I enjoyed the whole experience despite its flaws and would recommend it at a discounted price.

The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos

41 hours playtime, 39 of 65 achievements

My biggest chunk of gaming this month if I ignore all the hours put in Animal Crossing. It was a really solid turned based tactics RPG and I loved every bit of it. It had a sweet and sour taste for me as it's based on a super old french audio humour adventure (circa 2000s) which I use to love back then. Well turns out that kind of humour hasn't aged well and the original french dubbing is painful to endure. That being said, the english dubbing is much superior and since I played the game that way, I really had a great time. Recommended for tactics fans who don't take themselves too seriously.
