Main Quest #179 - 5 November 2023

Need for Speed Payback

5/10

about 18 hours playtime

21 of 57 achievements (37%)

Haven’t played a NFS in ages and had the itch, so got this one on the Halloween Steam Sale for 3€. Not much to talk about it, just arcade racing, a “story”, if you can call it that, and a soundtrack that got tiring after 4 hours.

Main Quest #178 - 29 October 2023

Gotham Knights

6/10

about 25 hours playtime

26 of 61 achievements (43%)

Stopped playing it when there were only 5 hours left to finish it. I was extra-busy September because of work and too tired in the beginning of October, so I could finally get back at it now and finish it.
It was an okay game, I liked Gotham City although I only played with Nightwing, not sure about the other characters’ gameplay. Had some performance problems, some of the cutscenes felt laggy and blurry.

Main Quest #177 - 26 August 2023

The Ascent

8/10

about 20 hours playtime

35 of 66 achievements (53%)

Great cyberpunk game. Top-Down Shooters is not a genre I usually play, but this was a blast to do so. Loved the world, atmosphere, soundtrack(!) and overall ambience of the game. It was really lovely to walk and shoot through this one.

Main Quest #176 - 16 August 2023

Hogwarts Legacy

9/10

about 80 hours playtime

31 of 45 achievements (69%)

This was pretty fun and oficially the longest game I’ve played, whatever that says about my gaming habits. Initially I was going for 100% but after 50 or so hours I dropped that idea and focused only on the quests (main, side and relationship). I still ended up 92% of challenges and level 38, which was quite a lot for the time.
The ending was a bit predictable and I tend to dislike the big ones with the passage of time, but it’s Hogwarts and a lot of fun nonetheless. I enjoyed the characters and the relationship quests as well, they bring the world together and I hope we see more of them in the sequel, in which hopefully they’ll decrease the amount of collectables and focus a bit more on the story and whatnot.

I ended up dropping Death Stranding (on Epic), I wasn’t finding it fun enough to keep playing.

Main Quest #175 - 07 January 2023

Beyond: Two Souls

6/10

about 12 hours playtime

25 of 45 achievements (56%)

Ended up not finishing any other game in December, but I also started Death Stranding on Epic. Finished this one up today, new GPU coming in the next week, lots of gaming programmed for the next few weeks!

I prefered Heavy Rain to this one. Initially I was a bit bored playing through Beyond: Two Souls, but ended up getting a bit invested on the characters of Jodie and Aiden, although the story was nothing spectacular. The performances and soundtrack helped a little.

Main Quest #174 - 02 December 2022

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

10/10

about 43 hours playtime

75 of 78 achievements (96%)

I had watched a walkthrough for this one when it release on PS4, since it’s my favourite character and I had no consoles back then, but knowing it released on PC and it ran on my own, I had to get my hands on it and do everything I could. And it was great! Definitely worth getting and playing, it’s very fun just swinging through the city.

Slow year for PC gaming for me, this one. I’ve been reading more and playing more on the Switch, since the backlog was growind there as well, decided to get my hands on it. I’ll still try to play one or two more this month, but let’s see how it goes. I already installed Beyond Two Souls and I’ll start playing it today.

Main Quest #173 - 22 September 2022

A Plague Tale: Innocence

9/10

about 10 hours playtime

21 of 35 achievements (60%)

Great game! Couldn’t put the game down and loved every mechanic and how different the characters were. I’ll definitely play the sequel when I get my hands on it! :D

Main Quest #172 - 18 September 2022

She Sees Red

6/10

about 68 minutes playtime

7 of 15 achievements (47%)

After a long break, the itch to play games on PC has returned, so hopefully here’s the first of a bunch and let’s see if I can still play a few games before the year ends! I have been playing on the Switch through the year, but not much on PC.
I played through two endings on this FMV, couldn’t bother to play more. But it was an entertaiting FMV nonetheless

Side Quest #17 - 05 April 2022

Tom Clancy's: The Division 2

7/10

about 30 hours playtime

21 of 60 achievements (35%)

Three years after finishing the first one, I finished the second one!
I did all the main and side missions I unlocked, and also reached level 30. Ended up unlocking the Black Tusk Invasion. Enjoyed a bit less than the first one because of the setting, but it was still enjoyable to play through while I was stuck in the gameplay loop (since I like a bit the genre).

Main Quest #171 - 06 March 2022

The Sexy Brutale

8/10

about 5 hours playtime

14 of 18 achievements (77%)

Definitely lives up to the “hype”, heard great things about it and it really was a great game. I’d recommend the game even to those who are not familiar to the genre.
