Finished Game Report
It’s probably time to update my backlog a bit. Since my last post I’ve beaten three games, I’m not so good at finding the time but I always manage to play at least something. I wanted to finish my Challenge me list from month or two ago, but then there was sniper elite in the last HB monthly which reminded me of my first ever free game (Sniper Elite V2) which I started and never finished. Since I felt like sniping I decided to finish this before continuing my list.

I was so positively surprised with this one I’m really glad it was picked for me.

• Offworld Trading Company
  

  24 hours playtime

  37 of 235 achievements

Will probably still play it from time to time, try to beat it on a higher difficulty. It’s the kind of game that I forget to look on the time to see, how much time has passed. So many achievements.. -.- It bothers me. But I think that a lot more could be done with the game. Once you get through the tutorial and the main styles of playing it sort of feels empty, there’s no end game goal or story, or I missed it.

• Sniper Elite V2
  

  13 hours playtime

Have to start Sniper Elite 4 some time soon, since I have it. Maybe my favourite WWII themed shooter.

Was actually pleasantly surprised with this one, I expected an ok shooter, but instead I got exactly the right amount of wild west story and a new spin on the gameplay.

Finally managed to get at least one ending in this. Probably took me so long because of all the side quests and so on. Plus I played through three quarters of the story at the start of this year and returned to it this month. Went with the NCR ending but maybe after some time I’ll go back to try for another ending (at least for the independent Vegas ending) - which one is your favourite? I think the game aged well and even though I wish to play something else now, the game has started to feel very homey. If you havent’t played any Fallout game this one is probably a great release to become a Fallout fan. But since the franchise is so popular I’m probably just repeating everything everybody already knows.

I really couldn’t get myself to update the backlog. Even though it’s not a long list, I’ve tried to do as much gaming as I could.

Since my last update I’ve played some games. It’s not much considering that I havent written an update for some months now.

Some are part of Challenge Me but not all of them. I’ve tried some of other games too, but I wasn’t in the mood to finish them, so I’ve decided to come back to include them in my post later.

Finished Games Update

So, I haven’t written a post since January, just had to much stuff going on and didn’t have that much time for gaming. Had to move, start a new job, buy a new car and some more stuff, so time just flew by. I managed to play for a bit and through this 3 months I played:

• Hotline Miami
  

  11 hours playtime

  11 of 35 achievements

• Epistory - Typing Chronicles
  

  18 hours playtime

  45 of 55 achievements

• Cities: Skylines

Finished Games Report
Since my last post I’ve finished a couple of nice one. They were all part of challenges and this seems to have become my favourite way of picking games I want to play.

• Midnight Mysteries 4: Haunted Houdini
  

  5 hours playtime

  7 of 16 achievements

• Octodad: Dadliest Catch
  

  7 hours playtime

  8 of 32 achievements

• Portal
  

  4 hours playtime

  5 of 15 achievements

• Grim Fandango Remastered
  

  16 hours playtime

  47 of 47 achievements

I also played a bit of Cities: Skylines (if you count 20 hrs as a bit) which I bought as a present for myself before the holidays.
I liked all of these games, some more, some less. I liked Midnight Mysteries the least but it’s hard to compete among the other games which are all known for being excellent. I actually played through Portal before I knew about Steam so it seemed appropriate to play it again before trying the sequel. I didn’t play Grim Fandango back in the nineties and I’m sorry for that because it must have been an awesome experience. Nevertheless I liked Octodad the most, I expected the controls to be even more clunky, I actually thought they were perfect for this game and that they add a bit of flavour to the gameplay. Anyway thank you for recommending all of these.

Past two weeks I was playing these two games.

• Analogue: A Hate Story
  

  8 hours playtime

  14 of 14 achievements

• The Wolf Among Us
  

  10 hours playtime

  35 of 35 achievements

I enjoyed them both. They were actually part of my challenge but I really didn’t have enough gaming time in Oct/Nov so I finished them now. The Wolf Among Us is probably my favourite Telltale game now. Analogue: A Hate Story kept interested enough to try for all different endings. So I recommend them both.

Old sins from last month are finally getting epilogue. After one month of intense studying I’m finally getting some play time. Right now I’m stuck with a crappy 8 yrs old laptop but on tuesday I’m getting back to my apartment and on my computer. I managed to finish this before I left and started The Wolf Among Us.

• 2064: Read Only Memories
  

  16 hours playtime

  29 of 64 achievements

I still have some things to do in ROM and it only seems fair to go for another playthrough and experience the game with a completely different approach. But I’ll leave it at beaten for now and return to it when I feel like it. Otherwise it’s a really charming and nice game that showed much more than I was expecting.

Since the wolf doesn’t work on this old thingy I’ll play something else tomorrow and continue when I get back.

Finished first of my Challenge Me games. It was also unfinished one for me so it fits this month’s theme aswell. I tried it before but gave up on the 8th mission because I was using keyboard controls (my mic didn’t work at the time). I got frustrated and rage quit. But now I tried voice controls from the start and even though I still had 10+ tries on levels 8 and up I managed to finish the main missions and the bonus mission. That’s why I marked it as completed. It was ok, the artwork is really beautiful and it had an interesting concept. Only now I have a bit of a sore throat. Screenshots as proof of completion. If you have it, I recommend you try it, it’s really short and you can quickly figure out if it’s a game for you.
