Despite this is the second coming of Hitler as a zombie (or a demon, I’m not so sure anymore) this could be the best zombie shooter I’ve ever played. It was smooth as well, Rebellion know how to optimize their games. Interestingly it was easier than the trilogy. I remember being struggled a lot in the trilogy while this one was almost a cakewalk. Almost. You still need to be always on the run.

I have finished the story and deleted the game but some time later if I fancy a zombie shooter I might come back for the horde mode. However I hate that some guns were paywalled under season pass.

While the game is still good for today’s standards, I do not recommend playing campaign if you don’t want to lose your sanity. Thankfully I have found a way to return it to its former self with a mod and it made the campaign easier. It was still hard even on easy though. You can still enjoy skirmish (or multiplayer if you know what you do), it’s kinda like StarCraft.

By the way, there is a good news about Command & Conquer. EA opened the source code of the games a couple days ago (you can check from here).

Someone found this comment in the code. It seems they didn’t like Windows even back then. :)

This one is actually an expansion but they released it as a separate title. Campaign is still insane though. At least there are some form of variety with some alt-factions, so there are 9 playable factions instead of 3. For skirmish this one is better because that.

Sigh! What will become of my backlog? I still play 20 year old games. -_-
It’s peaceful though.

I think this was the most casual game from IFI, with little to none grinding. I was under-leveled for the final boss by 6 levels though, which was painful enough to wished the past me had ground more but I managed somehow (had to solo the boss at one point).

Anyway, playing a game inside a game was fun and it has a somewhat interesting plot as well. though quite typical for IFI games. Guilty as charged I like the silliness of Neptunia universe. And Tsunako is one of my favourite artists, really nice character design and all.

Had to start over because I remembered pretty much nothing from my first play. It has a really simple but a nice gameplay loop. Sometimes RNG sucks so bad but it was also rare to become really overpowered as well. To beat the final boss, you’ll need that rarity or you’ll need to be cautious with what you play. Either way, there was no way for me to get that “beat the final boss 6 times” achievement.

Once I beat him once, I’ve seen every runs.

I like these reboots. Though I feel like Doom Eternal is even more fast pace than the originals. I liked that the game is forcing you to use every last bullet and you have to act pretty strategically, good for quick thinking. They could’ve made the campaign a little longer for introducing new enemy types but it was still fine. At least the games still carry the “survival for demons” soul.

Viva la ⛧ Doom Slayer ⛧.

I loved the Gwent in Witcher 3 but I couldn’t liked the standalone Gwent, almost hate it. And Thronebreaker is basically a story with standalone Gwent. Because of this it took a long time to finally finish it.

When I decided to finish it, I noticed that the game was on the hardest setting. I don’t remember choosing it and I went down for the easiest setting. After doing that I also noticed that the game allows skipping the card battles, probably because of the difficulty setting. I used that option a lot. Thanks to it, I was able to finish the game finally. As a person who loves the Witcher universe, this game was a blessing, as a story. Well, if you skip every card battle, the game is a visual novel with voice acting. It’s great. Just not the card battles.

I forgot how addictive these games were. Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect Trilogy are the epitome of BioWare.

I didn’t need to buy the legendary edition since I have all the games but 90% discount and carrying the save over to the next game without a hassle was a good reason to get it. Worth it.

Also, “default Shepard gang”. :)

By the way, crappy EA launcher lost its connection for whatever reason and I didn't get my last 3 achievements. Thankfully I'm not an achievement hunter.

I’ve played this for the third time but this time it was for achievements mostly. This is one of the unique games out there. Highly recommended.

Second game in the series and a prequel to first game. Agarest Zero adds quality of life improvements over the first game while not changing many aspects. There were only two generations and it was hardly plural. Though somehow these generations were quite longer comparing to first game.

Despite all the improvements, this game was okay, not great. They really should fix that mindless grinding. When I reached the end-game fights, I realized I had to grind for 10 more levels to get manageable boss fights, which was really boring.

And the fact I learned they sell cheats as DLCs and it’s the only way to get true ending. Didn’t notice or really cared for the first game but this is low.

Finished the story and it was quite enjoyable. Also played some towers too. However I couldn’t find anyone to play online but it was expected I guess. Happens all the time with fighting games.

I think this could be the best Neptunia game, though I still like the simplicity of the first game more. However Uzume is the best character in the whole series, as a Blanc fan I even like her more than Blanc.
Anyway, I noticed that my tolerance for grindy JRPGs grow little as I age. Even though I still like the stories, I have no patience for grinding anymore.

Now this is a cozy little kingdom game. I liked it back in days and I still like it. I forgot that some missions are harsher than Siberian cold, but it’s fine.

I felt that kinda missed playing the good old Borderlands but apparently I didn’t miss it that much. Finished the story and uninstalled.

This is a worthy remaster, I guess. No idea what parts of it got remastered but the game is still fire and worth playing. One of the most satisfactory stealth games I’ve ever played.

This was much more fun than pure Assembly Human Resource Machine. It was both easier and harder. Some of the OCD missions were almost evil and had to look for a guide for most of the speed optimizations. But it was fun to check others’ solutions and some of them were quite brilliant. Programming is fun when humans used. :P

This is the most mediocre title from Compile Heart. First, I tried to play the original but it was too painful to start. So I went with the “remastered” one. They quite improved the original but it’s still a mediocre game. The story is not interesting. The gameplay is usual Idea Factory title, meaning long visual novel session, grind grind grind, long visual novel session and so on. They even put some platforming and this is not a platforming game. It was terrible and I almost dropped it. I didn’t because it was close to ending, at least one of them. Eh, enough for me. I don’t think I have ever played a this boring JRPG.

Third game with the red haired Adol Christin. Whole game was easier than Ys Origin, kinda shorter too. Even boss fights were easier. This one had more platforming though and they were fun yet can be painful time to time. Generally it was pretty fun and apparently Falcom fans love this title too much since Falcom will release a remastered version and sell it for $30.

This was a direct gift on SG (from a Christmas thread) and I finally honored it. I like ships (and trains) so this game was pretty fun for me to engage. I had no idea that it was a sandbox game though, and eventually an MMO-RPG with ships (if you can find server that still playing it). It gets repetitive once you see everything but it was a great 49 hours for me.

It was shorter than I expected and the story was great and awful at the same time. I like alternate history titles like Wolfenstein but this was not so alternate history anymore. Gotta add that it was too graphic, and I’m saying this as a Dead Island fan.

Finally I’m done with this one and can move to Tropico 6 some time later. I love Tropico games but this was the worst Tropico game. There are nice ideas like eras. One thing I didn’t like about it, you cannot keep the old buildings the way they are. Once upgraded, they are no more. However they would look great in a modern city.

I definitely hated that you continue campaign on the same map from before with everything on it and start of a new mission is always bad for your economy. Tropico cities didn’t mean to last forever, they degrade in time and become uncontrollable once you hit a certain size. I liked the idea behind it but the implementation was not good enough.

Music was top-notch again. Also this was the first Tropico game with a native Linux version. It is impressive that they managed to fit everything in 3 GB and optimization was great on everything. One of the smoothest gameplays I’ve seen.

I hope Tropico 6 is closer to 4 than 5.

I count myself as “played enough” for this title since it’s meant to be multiplayer and the so called campaign missions are just multiplayer matches but with bots. They were fine until some point but on that match I decided to put this game away, there was no way to win it because the bots on my team were too dumb. Great boomer-shooter if you can find someone to play with, just not with bots.

Not a fan of dungeon crawlers but this was actually fine, with a Sakura story. Kinda surprised that they managed make it with RenPy. I’m glad there was an auto-battle system since I got bored pretty quick.

As a Battlefield fan, I’ve waited to play this long enough. I was not interested in its multiplayer so I didn’t get it on its prime days but was keep hearing that story was fun. I would expect more but yes, it was fun. Though as a story it was not so better than B-rated cop films, but playing it was pretty fun.

As a person who likes Shaun the Sheep, this game was expectedly cute as well. Puzzles were kind of easy though but I liked them.

BAAA!!!

It’s sad to see that while Ubisoft improve the gameplay in time, the games get boring. This is the worst Far Cry I have played, yet (gotta play 6 some time). It doesn’t give you the feel of accomplishment and that’s a very important thing in games. Flying vehicles are overpowered for a game like this and it was the downfall for Far Cry 4. It’s okay once in a while but where is the difficulty if you can fly every time? At least the flying simulation was kind of good and enjoyable. The enemy don’t try to get back the outposts, they are not competent. The whole buddy thing made the game more easier. I liked the buddy system in Far Cry 2, it was a one-time rescue if things go wrong. In Far Cry 5, the feeling is like I’m playing a some co-op game. That’s not why I’m here.

The story started somewhat okay and logical but that’s all. I would expect more from it. Not that drugged by a cult thing. I already don’t like the psychedelic “seances” of Far Cry since 3, and it was no good here too. Oh, the game is very buggy and apparently the last update they released was at 2019. You might not be able complete some missions. I know I didn’t.

Ubisoft finally started counting playtime apparently but Uplay is so bad at this. You would thought it's a simple task, it seems not for Ubi. I played around 25 hours yet Uplay says I played like 11 hours. Such a facepalm.

Jumping sideways is a cool feature and I like how Shantae attacks with her hair. And the attack upgrade is a hair conditioner. :)

This is one of those games that you want to finish as soon as possible when it gets longer, and you want to play more of it after it ended. It’s a weird feeling but cannot do anything about it. I really liked when I played Shadowrun Returns for the first time and I really liked Dragonfall as well. It has its moments that you will want to take a break, because things will get a lot tougher time to time.

I also like when sci-fi and fantasy cross paths and CRPG setting is awesome. Though sometimes I hated RNG and had to replay some missions because of it. At least you can save the game anytime when its your turn.

The lore is amazing and deep, you’ll notice how things get connected when you dive in it. Great story and it’s pretty gray, almost no black & white here. Pretty niche game for what its worth.

Bonus chapter of Higurashi and happens after the main story ends. It has 3 stories and honestly the fanservice one was pretty weird. Teenager brain though. -_-

Anyway, Saikoroshi-hen worth alone to get this, which is the main story of this chapter. There is Hou+ left for me though I don’t know when will I get it.

This is definitely the best trilogy of Tomb Raider, the best Lara as well. It’s kinda sad that new Tomb Raider games don’t have this simplicity. This is one of those less is more games to be fair. Even though puzzles still can be complex.

Comparing to other two, this one works much better on Linux. It was a very smooth experience.
