I kept hearing how I should play Jalopy because it’s a great game and recently a friend of mine posted a positive review for it on Steam…. It also qualified for the monthly theme so hey, why not finally give it a go! Unfortunately it’s the least fun I’ve had in a game in a looooong long time. :I It’s buggy (not to be confused with these since they’re actually kinda cool), the driving isn’t that fun, the parts of the game not related to driving aren’t that fun, the days are far too short (why does it get dark so quickly, it doesn’t make sense) and have I mentioned it’s buggy? 78% of the reviews on Steam are positive, though, so maybe I’m just missing something?

Not much progress was made - whatever free time I had I spent in Portia. Not too optimistic about February either, but hopefully March will look a lot better.

January theme - list of games

The monthly theme includes games that we most enjoyed playing in 2018. It doesn’t matter what the game’s release year is - what matters is that you played it in 2018 and enjoyed it so much that you would like to see other assassins experience it too. You can nominate up to 10 games.

The list also includes the winners of the BLAEO Game awards 2018.

The list of eligible games might be a bit out of date so feel free to post more suggestions as a reply to this post. For the game to qualify for this month’s theme it needs to have a winter feel to it - Christmas, snow, ice, winter landscapes, winter sports,…

You can use Enhanced BLAEO to check which of these games are in your Steam library.
