We are going into Round 2. Are you brave enough to get challenged yet again? Go on and try your luck. As our current theme is based on Screenshots and Travelling, we would like to encourage you to pick 1 game that are related to traveling or is taking place at an exotic place.
The main goal of this is of course to motivate you to reduce your backlog and help you pick some games to do just that. And you can help others do the same!
If you've used the Steam group forums at all, you may have also seen a suggestion about profile badges, including participation badges for themes. We thought for this additional and hopefully regular) event, we will give out two permanent badges that basically level up the more you participate, one for finishing challenges (up to 2 per month) and one for issuing challenges/picking for others. Since badges are still quite a ways off, we'll keep an internal spreadsheet for now, so if we ever implement that, your "progress" won't be lost ;)
This round will last until September 18th, the next one should start a few days before that (hopefully on the 15th).
Post your application for this month’s challenge as a reply here. Please before doing so, read the corresponding section below. Also, if you decide to pick games for others, read the corresponding section before you do so. If you encounter any problem with the games that were picked for you (either technical or if you think they don’t follow the guidelines) and can’t solve it with your picker, please leave a message as a reply of the first comment.
If you decide to challenge an assassin that hasn’t applied yet, post your challenge as a reply to the second comment for tracking purposes. Please follow the pickers’ guideline below and use the same formatting (code ready to be copy/pasted and completed at the bottom of this post). Remember it’s your responsibility to notify your target, and if they accept your challenge, they’re free to challenge you back even if you already applied.
Applicants’ guidelines
- Please make sure your games are sorted by completion before applying.
- If you have in mind a specific person you want to pick games for you, specify it in your application and notify them. They have 24h to reply to your request, after that delay your request will most likely be filled by somebody else.
- If you so desire and you have at least 5 unplayed SG wins, the 5 games can be picked out of your SG wins (instead of only 2/5). Just note it in your application comment.
- Note in your post if you're ok playing multiplayer only games.
- Same for Early Access (I know some people want to wait for release).
- When you finish one (or more) of the games picked for you, please post an update by replying to your picker's comment.
- If the game has achievements, you can link to either the Steam or Astats page corresponding to your progress.
- If the game doesn't have achievements, please post a screenshot showing your completion.
- Finally, if you have completed all the games that were assigned to you but want another go at it, feel free to post another application.
Pickers’ guidelines
- You can pick for/challenge up to 2 fellow assassins, please refrain to pick more so everybody who wants get a chance at it.
- You can pick for anybody who has applied and hasn't been given a list yet, unless they specified otherwise (see next point). It is recommended to signal with a "reserved" comment that you're currently picking for that person. This way it'll avoid the situation where you spend time picking games just to come back to somebody's comment 2 minutes prior.
- If the person has specified somebody particular to pick game for them and the comment is less than a day old, please skip to the next comment. If it's been more than a day and the person still doesn't have a list, feel free to pick for them.
- Please use the following criteria when picking a list for somebody.
- Length-wise: at least 2 short games (under 10h to beat) and 2 medium (under 15-20h). You can use HLTB to check the time, or more conveniently the Enhanced Steam browser extension (it shows the HLTB time directly on the game's steam page). That rule can be overridden by the bottom (i.e. pick 5 short games) but not the other way around, as not everybody has the same time to dedicate to gaming.
- Pick two SG wins unless the person specified SG wins only, in which case pick only in the applicant's SG wins list.
- Quality-wise: at least 3 of the 5 games should have a positive (or above) rating. You can use this site to quickly sort games in a user's library by ratings (thanks to JaffaCaffa for the suggestion).
- Please, respect the applicant's choice regarding multiplayer-only and Early access games, as well as other requests (exclusion of certain genre etc.).
- Please use the code below to post your comment, it's already formatted, you just have to copy/paste & complete the data.
For Pickers. Just copy paste and complete the data :)

FAQ
Do I have to participate in this event?
No, this is an event to help you reduce your backlog. If you already have a plan and don't want anyone to pick games for you, you're free to ignore it.
What happens if I don’t participate in the event?
Absolutely nothing.
What happens if I play all the games picked for me this month?
Still nothing. (You might get a shiny profile badge at some later date. And you can come back for another batch.)
What if I don’t have time to play 5 games?
Don’t worry, one is enough, we’re just asking the pickers to select 5 to give the player a little choice.
One of the game picked for me won’t run on my computer for X or Y reason, what do I do?
If this happens, please notify the picker by replying his comment and ask them to pick a replacement. If the original picker don’t give you an answer within 24h, don’t panic, just leave a comment and we’ll pick one for you. Meanwhile, you could try one of the other picked games if you haven't played them all yet.
I played all 5 games that were picked for me and I want more!
If you have completed all 5 games and reported your completion to the original comment, you can make a new request for another list.
When picking for other people, can I only pick “never played” games?
Not necessarily, you can also pick games that seem to have been abandoned but haven’t been categorized as “won’t play”. No beaten or completed games, or games being currently played obviously.
Why are there so many rules for picking the games? I can’t be bothered!
We’re trying to make this enjoyable for everyone so if you decide to pick games for others, please read and follow the rules. I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for the pickers too, but if it’s bothering you too much, remember you don’t need to pick games for others to join the challenge.
I’m new here, can I join the challenge?
Yes of course (and welcome to BLAEO). Please just be sure to have your games sorted by progress before signing up for the challenge, to make it easier for your picker.
You want to challenge someone, who hasn’t applied yet? Just reply here.
But remember to notify the user of your comment.

Ahh shoot didn’t realise this was a mid-month challenge. I’m still working through the picks from the last challenge. Oh well… when I’m done with those I’ll apply again.
Ayy well I was waiting for this.
I was wondering if ninglor(ious) could pick for me cause I’m kinda curious about what sort of stuff they would pick…
I’d rather not have a multiplayer only game but other than that I’m fine >_<
Uh
Challenge Me!
I shall do that! Just have to do it later in the day, I’m about to take of to town warms up the queen mobil ;)
Thank you for choosing me to challenge you :D

update to say I’m finally finished all my games with only a day to spare
That’s great! Hope you enjoyed them :)
I’m happy you challenged me with them-some of them would have taken ages to get around to otherwise. >_< made my last post for ABC
Yeah, I know that feeling. Have that with a lot of challenge me! games so far. Which is also an awesome reason to do the challenge me!s I think :D
I’m signing up. But I have a date!
Tsupertsundere wanted in the Challenge Me! corner, please pick up little Nin!
As last month: I don’t care about steam ratings, but about your opinion, but I guess you already knew that one :D
Avoid multiplayer and early access. That’s it, I think!
Looking forward to this! bounce around 
Get ready, nin!! Time to challenge!
- Solstice - HLTB Time: 4.5 hours – Visual Novel // SG Win
- Puzzle Agent 2 - HLTB Time: 4 hours – Puzzle game // SG Win
- Contrast - HLTB Time: 4 hours – Puzzle/Platformer
- narcissu 1st and 2nd - HLTB Time: 7 hours – Visual Novel
- Always Sometimes Monsters - HLTB Time: 11 hours – RPG
Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Thank you :]
First down!
Puzzle Agent 2 - completed no idea, why this looks so different then normal O.o
Always Sometimes Monsters - completed
Contrast - completed Last cheevo is broken sob
Solstice - completely beaten!!!!!!
Update bump points above
OMG! I finally completed Solstice! Only one game left!
Yay, new round! I was wondering if Last.M would pick for me as it’s been a few times that he wanted revenge but we had bad timing. Challenge Me!!
I am! laughs evilly
Any preferences?
I’d appreciate a batch of shorter (under 8h each would be great) games for this time if you please. Feel free to pick stuff I never finished too if you find worthy stuff in there (if you see they’ve been abandoned for a few months at least). Other than that, the usual no EA/multiplayer only things.
And thanks for picking for me ;)
Ok, I’ll pick games that I’ve played and enjoyed.
- Star Sky - ブルームーン - HLTB Time: 1 Hour. A bit more if you wanna 100% it, which I recommend, since it’s really easy. It’s a walking sim in 2D where the story changes each time you choose a different path.
- The Whispered World Special Edition - HLTB Time: 11 Hours. I know it says 11 hours, but that’s not true. As you can see, I 100% it in 8h. If you don’t wanna complete the game, it will take a lot less, since there are some grindy achievements like the one that requires you to transform Spot 500 times and it takes ~1 hour alone. Besides, it’s an amazing PnC game, with a great story and interesting characters.
- Copoka - HLTB Time: 1 Hour. This game is quite fast to finish. I played the drm-free version, but I guess it’s equal to the version on steam. Beware, you’ll be taking more screenshots than playing. xD
- Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - HLTB Time: 17 Hours. It took me 12h to finish this game, but every minute of it was worth it. I simply cannot not recommend this game. I know you don’t want long games, but if want you can play just the first episode. It takes around 4h. If by the end of the first episode you don’t feel like playing the rest of the game, you can just leave it at that. I doubt that will happen tho xD
- Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight - HLTB Time: 4 Hours - I played this metroidvania on my brother’s ps4 and I loved it. A completionist playthrough might take at least 5-6 extra hours.
I tried to mix some different genres. My first draft was full of PnC games, so I had to cut some. Most short games are either PnC or VN, I’d guess. xD
If you want something more time consuming, I’d suggest Hollow Knight, I played just about an hour on ps4 and absolutely adored it. According to HLTB, it’s a 25-30h game.
Have fun with your games, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. :)
Thank you again for picking, sounds like a great list! I’ll do my best and report it when I get some progress done!
Just finished Star Sky and was really a cute and relaxing game :)
Glad you liked and congrats on another 100%! :)
Copoka done too!! It was way more deep than I expected (I just thought it was pidgeon simulator, but it had actually an interesting backstory and way of telling it). Loved it!
I’d like to participate! I have a special request. Please someone challenge me and choose:
- 2 Steamgift wins (short) + 3 visual novels (any quality. You can see their lengths on my profile’s lists, please don’t pay attention to HLTB’s lengths.)
- If you want, you can choose games that are on my ABC plan
What, do I see this right? Nobody offered?? I’ll do it then! throws on the hero costum
So here we go!
- Mind Snares: Alice’s Journey - HLTB Time: 3 1/2h - SG Win
- Stacking - HLTB Time: 8 1/2h -SG Win Hope that’s short enough? ;)
- Bionic Heart - HLTB Time: 4h
- Roommates - HLTB Time: 15 1/2h
- A Detective’s Novel - HLTB Time: 2 1/2h
I only picked VNs I have played (in fact apart from Stacking I have played all of them :D), hope you’ll like them :)
Btw, I’ve seen you have a few Sakura games. How do you like them? In case you have played some already :D
If something doesn’t work out, poke me and I’ll change it :)
Thank you, they will do! Bionic Heart & Roomates are from Winterwolves, the vns from this dev are between the first ones I played!
I haven’t begun any Sakura game yet, and they do not appeal to me at all since they’re probably just fanservice ;(
Nice! Have much fun then! :)
I stumbled over a third Winterwolves game… but then I thought I already picked two so I should probably leave it be :D
I really like the WW games happy
Yeah. I tried playing one but… it didn’t work to well for me - and really I don’t mind boobs and all that, but… dunno o.o
Finished them all! 5/5
- A Detective’s Novel - screenshot 1 - 2 (really generic ones because there would have been spoilers otherwise), post
- Mind Snares: Alice’s Journey - achievements, post
- Stacking - achievements, post
- Bionic Heart - achievements, post
- Roommates - achievements, post
I’d like to participate, and ninglor03 is my date c;
Nin, here’s something I’d like you to keep in mind:
- No VNs
- I have no steamgift wins left unplayed <:c
- I’d like 5 shorter (12 hours and under) games this time around, please. Last challenge me! month ended up taking me a while, and I don’t want the challenge to take up ALL of my game time, y’know?
Otherwise, have at it!
Alright, I shall take that in account! All of it! :D
And since I’ll try to only pick games that I know/want to play…. it’s getting even more narrowed down :D
The game is one, my dear tsupertsundere! :*
- Adam Wolfe - HLTB Time: Completionist 5 1/2 h
- Dear Esther: Landmark Edition - HLTB Time: Solo: 2h (it took me 3h to get all chevoos)
- Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock - HLTB Time: Completionist 2h
- Pixel Puzzles 2: Anime - HLTB Time: Completionist 17h Sry for that one hide
- The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - HLTB Time: Completionist 7 1/2h
I hope you’ll like and enjoy them!
Thank you, nin! I accept this challenge c: I’ll save the puzzles for last, and maybe I’ll play something on top of that. It’ll give me ample excuse to watch a shit ton of Scandal, though
Ha, puzzling and Scandal should work just fine! :]
Nicely puzzled! :)
Completed Morningstar! Review + Achievements
Well you rock, even if the game doesn’t! :]
I’m afraid I might be giving up on the last one. Not as in abandoning it, but as in completing it before time is up O.O ;)
That’s totally fine! You’ve completed at least one, which is all the challenge is really about.
I think I’m going to skip the challenges for a bit, and why I’m glad this month’s challenge is so open-ended. For the past two months, about, I’ve really only been playing challenge games and it’s starting to make my shoulders feel all tight. I want to go fast and loose for a while before I hunker down for some other picks.
Yeah, I know how you feel. Tbh I’m a bit lousy this month with the monthly theme, because I feel I have to do things I want for myself for a change again. I also “forced” myself to start sims again. Which has become a real challenge to do, since I feel guilty even touching it. Considering how much time I tend to spend there if I enjoy my time and that is lost time on backlog. Madness, I tell you. So now I forced myself to do something else :D
It’s hard to find that balance between this being a fun hobby and this being a chore. Like, you get to pick, but it shouldn’t be something you have to ‘force’. If you want someone to blame, I give you full permission to play as much sims as you want and ignore the hell out of your backlog until you want to come back to it ;D
Ha, thank you for that, but it’s ok ;)
I sooooooooo want to play the next addon for sims 4 though. And it’s only being published in Nov! O.O
Finished the Walking Dead game: New Frontier! Review + Achievements AND Dear Esther! Review + Achievements
Finished Adam Wolfe! Right under the wire! Review + Achievements
Congrats on beating all off them! Have a great free playing month! :*
I’d like to participate :D
- Most of my ‘unfinished’ games are fairly abandoned so feel free to pick any of those
- No multiplayer only - I have dodgy wifi some days and would like to still be able to play them :,)
- Please don’t pick games in my ABC Challenge as I have to go through them in a certain order :)
Challenge Me please!
Welp technically I already challenged you with a whole ABC gameplan BUT as a seperate challenge
- DmC Devil May Cry (based on the fact that you have a bunch of games marks as “wont run on my computer” I’m not too sure… HLTBTIME 9hrs?
its my D entry for my plan so it would be fun to have someone else’s opinion on it around when I finish it m - Anna’s Quest
- Momodora III
and I guess I need two SG wins as well
all are short so they shouldn’t need a HLTB time..GL
All games I was interested in playing soon, I accept your challenge >:D
Momodora III complete :)
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198094051583/stats/appid/302790/achievements
nice nice >_<
that was fast
It’s only a 1 hour game according to HLTB xP
Not only did I beat but COMPLETED Japanese school life :) I’m so proud of me, usually I’m too lazy for that xP
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198094051583/stats/appid/555640/achievements
Took a bit, but Anna’s Quest is done! Thanks for challenging it, it was as amazing as I expected!
AYYYYY
happy you liked it
Challenge me please!
Unfinished and never played are both fine to choose from. Please don’t pick something marked as “has dependency” though~
No multiplayer only or early access please! Any genre is fine.(please a max of one shooter if you pick that. I don’t like shooters very much.) Thank you!
Ok. I’ll pick some games I’ve played and liked.
- Depth Hunter 2: Deep Dive - HLTB Time: 2 Hours - Poor man’s Abzu. It’s not as good as abzu, but still a quite decent game. It has a few grindy achievements that I do not recommend you to get, but overall the achievements are very easy.
- Ittle Dew - HLTB Time: 3 Hours - I played this on PS4. A bit like Evoland. If you like lighthearted yet gratifying adventure, this game is also for you.
*Jotun: Valhalla Edition - HLTB Time: 5 Hours - This game is amazing too. I quite enjoyed the combat, especially the boss fights. It’s also beautiful to look at. - VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action - HLTB Time: 10 Hours. The best VN I’ve played in the last few years. I’m not a big VN fan, but I really enjoyed this one.
- Evoland 2 - HLTB Time: 17½ Hours. This game is amazing. The characters are interesting, the story is good and it’s full of references to other games and gaming culture in general. I simply cannot not recommend this.
Have fun with your games, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. :)
Awesome!! Thank you. These all seem like really good games! I’ll try and beat a few~ <3
I have a favour~
Could you replace Jotun with another pick for me? I grabbed it while it was free for a “sure, why not” reason, but after playing it’s really not my kind of game! I decided to remove it from my library. Sorry! I hope it would be alright to replace it! Thank you <3
This comment was deleted over 7 years ago.
I’d like to participate too!
Sg wins only please, I already a bunch of them for you to choose from. No multiplayer/early acess too. Thanks! :)
Here comes my revenge… Muhahahaha
Disclaimer: Since you’ve already played all your SG wins that I played and loved, I haven’t played most of them but they did look good and interesting.
- Valhalla Hills - HLTB Time: 14h
- Maize - HLTB Time: 3h
- Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora - HLTB Time: 5h
- About Love, Hate and the other ones - HLTB Time: 5-6h
- Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number - HLTB Time: 9h
I hope you find some of them enjoyable. Good luck !
Thanks for picking awesome games! I already have Valhalla Hills and Maize installed, so I’ll start from there. :)
Aaaaaaand done!
Maize was really funny, enjoyable and short - everything I want in a game nowadays. xD
Hotline Miami was rage inducing, but quite gratifying when you complete a level.
About love, hate and the other ones was surprisenly good
Hot Tin Roof has a terrible camera, but after you get used to it, the experience is pleasant.
My only frustration was Valhalla Hills. I thought it was similar to Northgard, but unfortunately it’s not even close. I had high hopes for it, but it was just a boring grindfest. I had to force myself to keep playing just to get at least 50% of the achievements.
Overall, this was a great selection of games and I had a blast playing them. Thanks for the list PleasantBlackSheep!
I’m glad you enjoyed most of them! I’m sorry about Valhalla Hills, I actually thought it would be good as it looked like settlers :/
No reason to say sorry, Sheep. I also thought it was a lot better. It tries to be a mix of city-builder/management, but it fails at both. It’s too shallow to be a management game and it lacks the freedom of choice to be a city builder - you always have to build the same buildings in the same order. The fact that you cannot control your workers or even set their priorities is another design flaw. They more often than not die because of that. :/
Btw, 4/5 good games is an amazing ratio. ;)
That’s really sad because it looked good D:
And yes it’s a good ratio for games I never played before either ;)
I would love to join, my preferences would be some of my SG wins, but I’m down for everything.
Did you not categorize your SG wins or all of them are unplayed? I ask so I don’t pick things you played but not marked as such :)
All of them are unplayed (so far)!
Ok then, here are my recommendations:
- Risen - HLTB Time: 27-47h
- Transistor - HLTB Time: 6-15h
- Death by Game Show - HLTB Time: ?? should be short, around 2-3h according to steam reviews
- The Night of the Rabbit - HLTB Time: 10-15h
- SteamWorld Heist - HLTB Time: 12-20h
Have fun! :D hopefully;)
This comment was deleted over 7 years ago.
I’d like to join. Since last time i beated Kaleith i’d like him to challenge me again.
Please no sequels where I haven’t yet beaten the previous title and no multiplayer games. Thank you.
Way to rub it in, thanks 
My picks for the month are:
- WORLD END ECONOMiCA episode.03 - HLTB Time: 8-10 hours - I picked episode.02 last month, might as well complete the series
- Mind Snares: Alice’s Journey - HLTB Time: 3-3.5 hours - I was gonna pick Nightmares from the Deep 3 but you haven’t played 2 yet I should have just picked 2 maybe
- Monochroma - HLTB Time: 4-5.5 hours - it seems pretty similar to INSIDE so I’d like to get an opinion on that, it seems interesting
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition - HLTB Time: 35-66 hours - the big one for the month, let me know if it’s too much :v
- Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders - HLTB Time 6.5-10.5 hours - let me know how it is, I might activate my own copy
Hehe
Challenge accepted! Thank you Kaleith.
Don’t “hehe” me, my feelings were hurt
Current status:
- WORLD END ECONOMiCA episode.03 - Completed! I liked the whole story of this series, highly recommend. I admit that at the end some parts were a bit heavy to read but most of the time is pretty smooth.
- Mind Snares: Alice’s Journey - Completed! The story of this one is some sort of Alice in wonderland thing, the puzzles were very easy.
- Monochroma - Completed! I didn’t play Inside, i can’t compare it to it, sorry. The story is not told and you must interpret it, it’s not a bad game i liked it. However mind that the controls are clunky and some situations require a precise jump/land, this can lead to very frustrating moments.
- Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders - Completed! Good game, you know my opinion xD If someday you play it, i’d like to know your thoughts as well.
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition - Failed.
I’m joining again, while I’m not happy I had to leave the last challenge at 4/5.
As Draco asked for me to pick for them again I’d like to let them do that for me too.
Here i go:
- Journal - HLTB Time: 2 hours.
- The Bunker - HLTB Time: 2 Hours.
- Karma - HLTB Time: None. Astats has it as 3.5 hours long.
- Bai Qu - HLTB Time: None. Astats has it as 13 hours long. SG Win.
- Game of Thrones - HLTB Time: None. AStats has it as 12 hours long. SG win. I guess this one could also work for the “exotic” place or good scenery.
This time I’ll get 5/5 inb4 I get some other mysterious illness thank you <3
No joke, you had been on a really bad luck streak. Be careful.
Status: 5/5 - Complete!
- Journal - Completed - It seemed like a better version of Kimmy, another “pseudo point and click” with a story told from the perspective of a young girl. It was a bit clunky at times but I enjoyed it overall
- The Bunker - Completed - Surprisingly good acting at times for an FMV game, the setting was also quite interesting. The weak point was in the quick-time events which have not been enjoyable at all, especially a pesky one near the end
- Karma. Incarnation 1 - Beaten - This. Was. WEIRD. At its core it’s a bit like a point and click, but with zero dialogue and a cast full of weird creatures that express themselves using thought bubbles and grunts. A certain game mechanic which I won’t spoil made the playthrough longer than I expected, I’m not 100% sure I would recommend it but it was a trip (it definitely was for the devs :p)
- Bai Qu - Beaten - The translation is a bit rough in the later chapters and the pace was maybe slightly off at times, but both the characters and the overall story were definitely good. I liked it overall and I’m going to go back to it to read the alternate routes soon.
- Game of Thrones - Completed - I hated it for being a Telltale game but I loved it from plot and characters. I’m not familiar with the series so that’s maybe the source of all the “good” I liked, I will check it out once I’m in the mood for a tv series.
Since I have already finished 2 games in my ABC plan and started another one yesterday I am gonna break my rules a bit and I am up for a challenge. Sub 10 hours please.
My picks are:
- Lilly Looking Through - HLTB Time: 2 hours // SG win
- The Grandfather - HLTB Time: 35 min - 1 hour // SG win
- Pony Island - HLTB Time: 2 - 5 hours
-
The Yawhg - Solstice - HLTB Time: 4 hours
- Skyborn - HLTB Time: 8 - 11 hours
I chose 4 kinda short and 1 longer, if that’s alright with you! If you have any problem, I can replace stuff.
YES! I have an excuse to play Pony Island :D And after a quick look at the other titles they will be just fine too ^^ Thank you very much for picking for me :)
Completed :D
My progress:
| # | Game | Achievements | Playtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lilly Looking Through Won on SteamGifts | — | about 3 hours |
| 2 | The Grandfather Won on SteamGifts | — | about 1 hour |
| 3 | Pony Island | 100% (20 of 20) | about 5 hours |
| 4 | Solstice | 100% (18 of 18) | about 19 hours |
| 5 | Skyborn | 58% (14 of 24) | about 11 hours |

The Grandfather: My thoughts on it, Screenshot
Pony Island: My thoughts on it, Achievements
Solstice: My thoughts on it, Achievements
Skyborn: Achievements
Hey could you pick something else instead of The Yawhg please? The game is unplayable for me :( Which is a shame since I really wanted to play a chose your own adventure game :(
How about Solstice instead? It’s a visual novel, HLTB says that the main story is 4 hours. Vndb says that it should take no more than 10 hours to get all the endings, but I cannot be 100% sure on this since I haven’t play it myself yet (but I’ve played Cinders from the same devs and it was good, that’s why I’m suggesting it).
Also in vns, if you don’t already know it, to skip already seen text you can press CTRL
I love the art style of it already! I have updated my table, thank you for picking again ^^
I actually had no idea as I haven’t played all that many VNs, thank you for letting me know!
I would like to participate! No horror tags, please:)
After your last post I think it may be a bit difficult to choose games for you but I’ll try my best anyway. Hope you’ll be so busy enjoying these games that you don’t even feel the need to collect achievements! :D
First of all, the games:
- Costume Quest - HLTB Time: 5½ Hours
- Mini Metro - HLTB Time: 5 Hours
- One Finger Death Punch - HLTB Time: 7 Hours
- Shelter - HLTB Time: 1 Hour
Super Mega Baseball: Extra InningsLilly Looking Through (HLTB Time: 2 Hours)
Now, some thoughts about them:
▪ One Finger Death Punch imho is the only immovable title of the list. Hopefully its playstyle will get you a bit addicted too :)
▪ Mini Metro is a step below because it’s more of a puzzle game than an “action” one. If you like puzzles you may get addicted to this one too. Otherwise you may find it boring after a while :\ I wanted to give you some mindless fun but I couldn’t find Goat Simulator among your Unplayed so, if you want something funnier, you can try with Octodad: Dadliest Catch (HLTB Time: 2 Hours) (this didn’t win because some parts can be “annoying” to pass, given the nature of the game).
▪ Costume Quest is a cute adventure game; starts a bit slows, close to boring but fortunately it picks up its pace ratehr soon :) Game’s quite easy so, if you are looking for something more challenging, you may try Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse (HLTB Time: 8 Hours) instead. This is really a good game, but harder, especially as you get close to the end. HLTB looks a bit low but I played with some hard restriction to unlock achievements (which you’re not required to) so I can’t tell if it’s actually accurate.
▪ Shelter is the only game of the list I haven’t played. I’ve played the second and it was not the best game out there but there are feelings everywhere =P Giving the first to you because it doens’t have achivements! ;) If you want a better game (while keeping the feels), you may try Papo & Yo (HLTB Time: 3½ Hours) which I liked but there’s a “monster” so I don’t know if it is in conflict with your “no horror” rule.
▪ Super Mega Basebal is a sport game: I find sport games nice to pass time.. you can usually play a match (in this case, or a race or whatever) and then another if you want or move over to something else. Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about baseball, I didn’t either but I managed to win the championship on my first try :) Game’s actually quite complex if you know what you’re doing (at least, I remember lot of stats and such) ..I simply ignored all of them! XD Starting level is low (15/99) and was even a bit too easy toward the end.. you can rise/lower it to fit your need. If you hate baseball you can try Pumped BMX + (HLTB Time: 6½ Hours) which i think is good but is also harder (in fact, I haven’t finished it yet).
As you can see, most of them are short games; if you want to play a longer one, I suggest you to play Tomb Raider III (HLTB Time: 17 Hours) which is the best TR imho. If you can cope with old graphic, that is! (I’ve heard that command may be weird too). Otherwise, you can dive in the world of Tropico 4 (HLTB Time: 39 Hours) which I did find quite well made :)
If you prefer some of the backup games over the list, feel free to switch at will :)
Or ask if you have problem with them, I’ll give you something else :)
Good luck, hope you’ll enjoy them ^_^
Hi malabagaa! Thank you for picking for me <3.
I find it neat that a lot of those games you’ve tried out, and enjoyed. I’m going to have fun discovering them:3.To be honest, I’ve always wanted to play Costume Quest, for the longest time. I just never actually did it xD.
Would it be okay to switch out Super Mega Baseball? I actually finished the game on the playstation, and I forgot to mark it as complete on here. It was a great game, though - with very crazy looking characters xD. I had a pitching team and my pitchers were awesome! I’ve also played some Pumped BMX earlier this week, which is an odd coincidence xD.
Maybe you can change it with anything unplayed from my ‘won on steamgifts’ list? I think there were supposed to be 2 SG wins per challenge, and right now there’s only one (one finger death punch).
Thank you! And thank you for the picks:)
Whoops! I was to focused on picking the right games that I forgot about sg wins >_<
Ok then, another achievement-free game for you :)
If you want a short one, go with Lilly Looking Through (HLTB Time: 2 Hours). Didn’t play this yet but looks nice, sorry :\
Or, if you want a longer one, play Back to the Future: The Game (HLTB Time: 12½ Hours). This is composed of 5 episodes, the HLTB Time is the sum of all of them. Already played this game and was good, definitely to play if you are a BttF fan :)
You’re welcome ^_^ Actually, it’s the first time I pick games for someone, hope they turn out to be right ^^;
Hehe, and now its time has come ^_^ Just bear with the slow start and you’ll enjoy it the more you progress (and unlock characters).
Oh! just remembered that the whole game it’s Halloween-themed, which should go against your “no-horror” rules, but it’s all kind of cute (there are kids) so there’s just the wannabe-frightening setting, not real horror, don’t worry :)
I always have fun customizing characters to make them resemble me and my friends.. spent some in Super Mega Baseball time changing my team’s appearance and trying to figure out which of my friends every member looked like! It was more fun to play this way :D
Good luck with Pumped BMX+, I still need to beat some of the last levels on easy yet. =P Really like it though :)
If you feel you’ve had enough of a game just drop it and move on, no worries, just enjoy your playtime :)
You can switch Baseball on the list to either of those games, and I’ll do my best. Both look nice so decide for me:3. Lilly looks cute, and BttF I saw the two first movies last year. Great Scott!
Ok, it’s Lilly then :)
It’s shorter and you can use the remaining time to watch the third BttF movie ;)
CHALLENGE COMPLETED
#1 Completed - Lilly Looking Through
Screenshot
Unfortunately, I couldn’t take a screenshot of the credits - any click I did during the credit made me leave them :/.
The game was meh. It’s a point and click that focuses on puzzles (mostly color puzzles). It is artsy and nice to look at. There isn’t really any story, though, that part was unfortunate. But all in all it was an okay experience:)
#2 Completed - Costume Quest
Screenshot
That game was great xD
Super, super cute. But with nice RPG elements that kept it interesting.
Costume Quest was such a great surprise!
#3 Completed - Shelter
Screenshot
It was an okay game. Short, so it did not drag on. Kind of cute, but I lost my babies :,(
#4 Completed - One Finger Death Punch
Screenshot
xD… who knew a 2-button game could be so fun.
I had tons of fun with this game, doing all kind of crazy combos >;3
#5 Completed - Mini Metro
Achievements
MINI METRO! Oh my gosh. I usually dislike puzzle games, but this game was great!
Definitely my favorite out of the challenge, and a neat little gem that I discovered.
It’s so casual but fun and engaging at the same time. I will recommend it to people for sure.
And with that - challenge over:)
Tadaaa:) Challenge complete!
YAY! Huge success! Congratz! :D
Looks like you also had some fun, I’m glad they worked out ^_^
The two you didn’t “like” are the only one I haven’t played yet =P
I thought Lilly was interesting.. oh, well, I guess it’ll just have to wait a bit more then..
Shelter 2 is open-world so a playthrough lasts more, in case you’re interested.
Did you lose all of them? :’( I managed to save 1-2 but I was sad anyway :’(
Sorry again for those two ^^;
BUT! On the other hand, 3/5 were good, that’s more than half! :D
I’m glad you enjoyed playing them :)
I was only a bit concerned about MiniMetro because I know some people don’t like puzzles.
I guess when a game is good you can enjoy it even if it’s a genre you don’t usually play :)
I lost all of them:).
Thank you for the nice picks, I had fun with the challenge c:
I’d like to join again please!
Me, me, me! I’ll do you! Yeah, no, that doesn’t sound wrong :D
As usual I try to focus more on games I have played/will play - and liked, at least if I played them :D
Hope that works for you :)
The game is on!
- Hack ‘n’ Slash - HLTB Time: Completionist 5 1/2h - SG win
- GoNNER - HLTB Time: Completionist 14h - SG win
- Cinders - HLTB Time: Completionist 8 1/2h
- Life is Strange - HLTB Time: Completionist 15 1/2h
- Murdered: Soul Suspect - HLTB Time: Completionist 11 1/2h
Hope that works out for you. If not, poke me and I’ll change it! :)
Have lots of fun, keep me posted and happy killing ;) :)
hahaha I’d actually been looking at a few of those last month as ones I should get to sooner than later. :) I also completely forgot I owned Murdered: Soul Suspect (whoops). Look forward to beating at least one of them (hopefully more!), will update you as I go along. Thanks a bunch. :D
I liked the last three a lot! Though Cinders was only on the first go really good, but Life is strange and Murdered: Soul Suspect where a real treat, imho :)
But funny coincidence :D
Prepare for loads of text, feel free to skim/ignore…sorry for bombarding you haha. :D
Hack ‘n’ Slash - Completed! I lost interest of this game over time but am glad I finally had the incentive to play it. I have mixed thoughts. The beginning eased you in gently, was quite easy. The middle bit was by far my favourite, some really nice puzzle elements and difficulty, completely my cup of tea. ….and then the end happened where it threw you in the deep end and expected you to know/understand programming without remotely explaining anything. I needed to read a guide for it and then still didn’t understand what was going on, was only able to solve parts of it myself (I still tried!). Definitely an odd one with pacing and while I personally wouldn’t recommend it am overall happy I played it. I’ve actually been thinking about the middle puzzles after completing and how I’ve missed playing games like that.
GoNNER - Unfinished This game is a toughie. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far but every time you die you’re thrown back to the start. I adore platformers but am far from good at them. The odds of me beating this game anytime soon is low as it’s really tough, but gonna keep picking it up when I’m in the mood. I wanna keep it being fun and not stress out about being stuck on the second boss for hours on end. :P Super super fun though if you’re into this sort of thing!
Cinders - Completed! I actually read both editions of Cinderella (Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm) before playing…wasn’t a fan. Though the latter was my favourite of the two. I did enjoy Cinders most of all, though still mixed feelings. I didn’t love it as much as I’d hoped, some of the options were meh and a few typos/grammar mistakes. Still one of the better visual novels I’ve played and it had it’s high points. Overall an interesting take on the story. I’ve been putting it off for sooo long, thanks again for picking this and the rest of the games. :) I may still pick up Life is Strange this week (even if I don’t complete it), will have to see!
Yay, I love updates!
Ok, the first two are not my cup of tea, but glad to hear you enjoyed them :)
As for Cinders: These kind of games work with… touching you? And that works for everyone differently. I noticed that recently a lot with games tsupertsundere and I bot played and we have different opinions about certain things. That happens, that’s normal, that makes all of us unique human and that’s awesome! :)
In that sense, it’s ok to not love the game but I’m happy you still liked it :]
Will you tell me what you think of LiS, even if you finish it after this challenge me time is up?
Yeah I completely agree, why I’m usually open to try them myself even if I hear mixed reactions. :)
Sure I will! I actually had this on my WL for a while before removing it, after seeing the first 15 mins of gameplay but the school setting turned me off. I’ve since heard everyone rave about it! The reason I bought it in the first place was it’s one of my best friend’s favourite games. The fact that you said you loved and picked it was like welp there’s no time like the present to give it a chance! Especially since I’m a huge fan of character driven, choices matter games. I really really hope I like it. :D
That’s exactly why I don’t mind toooooo much about steam reactions. Only if I look at something that caught my eye on sg, to quick check ;)
Also that’s why I like these Challenge me! things. I’d rather have ppl pick something they liked for some reason, than go by steam recommendations ;)
Ah, yeah, I understand how that can get too you. Hope you’re open and let the game get you though ;)
If not, that’s also cool :D
I would like to have another go! Like previously, no horror games, please!
reserved! I’ll choose for you.
My picks are:
- Duke Nukem Forever - HLTB Time: 9 - 20 hours (SG win)
-
Hitman GO: Definitive Edition - Saints Row 2 - HLTB Time: 20 hours (SG win)
- Lumino City - HLTB Time: 4 - 6 hours
- Morphopolis - HLTB Time: 1 - 2 hours
- Anomaly: Warzone Earth - HLTB Time: 6 - 20 hours
if there’s anything you’d like to replace, just ask!
Please replace Hitman GO: Definitive Edition because I had it in the previous challenge and I still haven’t finished that game. Other picks are fine!
Is Saints Row 2 - HLTB Time: 20 hours (54 hours completionist) ok?
Sure, it’s okay!
Sorry for the late update! I haven’t played the challenge games much this month.
- Duke Nukem Forever - in progress
- Saints Row 2 - abandoned (The port is just… ugh. I can stand GTA IV, but this? I’d definitely play more if the port wasn’t so crappy)
- Lumino City - barely started, but will definitely play more
- Morphopolis - completed
- Anomaly: Warzone Earth - unplayed, I’ll play it later
I’m going to stop with the challenges for now until I catch up. Thank you for the picks, though!
Hi, can Lenor please challenge me?
thanks in advance
see ya
Awww, someone wanted me to pick for them <3 Thank you :)
| Copoka | HLTB Time: 2-3 hours |
| Metro 2033 Redux | HLTB Time: 9 hours |
| The Walking Dead Season 2 | HLTB Time: 10 hours |
| Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf HD Remastered | HLTB Time: 15 hours |
| Heroes of Might & Magic V: Hammers of Fate | HLTB Time: No data found |
It was hard to ignore unfinished games like Talos Principle, Deus Ex etc etc etc etc but there you go :P I’ll force you to finish those another month :D
Ultimate challenge: Dragon’s Dogma!! If you finish it I’ll give you cookies and you can completely ditch the above list!
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I have no unfinished games.
Thank you.
PS.: There’s no way I’m playing Dragon’s Dogma.
Thanks anyway though.
But but but but…. cookies!!!!!
I don’t care about cookies. Nothing’s gonna make me play Dragon’s Dogma.
See ya
Take care of yourself
ty
Be a team player!!!
I’ll never be on your team. I hate you.
Please don’t talk to me ever again.
Goodbye.
Take care.
Good night.
See ya.
I’ll make you play Dragon’s Dogma one day. Just you wait and see!
I hate that game and I hate you.
I’ve played… uh… maybe 1 of those? Oh no, wait, I’ve played NONE OF THOSE so far!
I think I’m doing great! It’s more than I expected!
I’ll keep you updated!
Thanks!!!!!
You’re awesome.
You’ll finish The Walking Dead S2 soon at least :) And I’ll force you to play Copoka and after you’re done with your Prey, Dragon’s Dogma!
I’d like to take give this another go! I’d prefer to avoid Early Access or MP-only, but anything else is fair game.
I have a feeling I shouldn’t be the one choosing again ;-D
(edit: just to make sure, this isn’t a reservation, someone please pick, I did last month for him)
Probably not, but thanks anyway!
My picks:
- DmC: Devil May Cry - HLTB Time: Main Story 9h (SG win)
- Dead In Bermuda - HLTB Time: Main Story 12h (SG win)
- Solstice - HLTB Time: Main Story 5.5h
- FEZ - HLTB Time: Main Story 4.5h
- METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES – HLTB Time: Main Story 1.5h
Good luck ^_^
Some of those HLTB times look … optimistic, but thanks for the picks! I’ll get started ASAP!
Only speedrunners seem to submit times to HLTB indeed, haha ;-)
Three down. Thanks again for picking!
I love this challenge, and with summer drawing to a close, I should have more time for gaming, so I’d like to take part again as well! :)
Hi Kappy - five steamgifts wins, because I can.
- Cat Quest - HLTB Time: 9.5h
- Gravity Ghost - HLTB Time: 3h
- Hitman: Blood Money - HLTB Time: 12h
- Outlast - HLTB Time: 5h
- The Banner Saga - HLTB Time: 11h
Five different styles. Cat Quest is an unethical pick as you won it from me, which makes it amusing.
The travelling/exotic location theme was respected with Gravity Ghost (travelling from planet to planet), and The Banner Saga (Vikings travelling).
If any pick is not okay for a reason, you may beg and I will change it.
Ooh, nice picks, and challenge accepted (although I doubt I’ll touch Blood Money since I haven’t played the earlier Hitman games, yet, and I like to play series games in order).
I shall make you proud, Lady! :)
I picked only from SG wins because you have so many good ones:
- Hatoful Boyfriend - HLTB Time: Main Story 1.5h
- Blue Estate The Game - HLTB Time: Main Story 3h
- The Banner Saga - HLTB Time: Main Story 11h
- Abyss Odyssey - HLTB Time: Main Story 4h
- DISTRAINT - HLTB Time: Main Story 2h
Hope you like them. Just ask if you want anything replaced :)
Thanks for choosing ^_^
Last I heard KRZ is still missing the last episode and while I’m sure it’s good I’d prefer to play it when complete.
Not too keen on a typing game atm, if you could replace Epistory too, thanks ヾ(^ω^*)
Oops, that explains why its HLTB data looked incomplete ^^;
The Banner Saga is a bit longer than the others, but hopefully Shelter 2 is short enough to balance it out.
I like me some strategy so Banner Saga is great even if a bit longer ^^
Not fully sure about Shelter for being ‘part 2’ as I haven’t the first one yet, but I don’t want to bother you again (ノ*°▽°*)
(Btw. finished picking for you too, have a look ^^ )
The Shelter games have completely separate stories, but I don’t mind replacing it if you want :)
I like your picks for me, and fortunately it looks like they’ll all run on my old potato. My main gaming PC decided to brick itself today -.-
Hm, guess I’ll try a last spin on the wheel of fortune then :)
And sorry for your PC, hope repairs will be swift.
If any game won’t run, just tell and I’ll switch, have a few replacements ready ^^
The last challenge went well, so I’d like to sign up again. Nothing multiplayer-only please. Anything else from Never Played or Unfinished is fine, as long as it’s not tagged with Playing :)
Hm, seems no one shows up, then it’s up to me to choose I guess :3
Finish:
| Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers | 3h |
| Steamroll | 5-10h ? |
| Endless Space | 13h |
| Ittle Dew | 3h |
| Else Heart.Break() | 15h |
Not sure about Steamroll’s time, no data other than astats 100% value for that. Can switch if needed. Hopefully some fun amongst them ^_^
- Ittle Dew - Achievements Didn’t expect it to have so many puzzles ;_;
- Endless Space - Achievements It was decent
- Steamroll - Achievements Unique premise and some cool puzzles, but frustrating at times.
- Else Heart.Break() - Screenshot It’s quite complex and the hacking offers lots of cool possibilities. Unfortunately, this is offset by frequent bugs and some of the blandest dialogue I’ve seen in a videogame.
- Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers - Achievements Good fun and has some neat mechanics
Nice progress! Hope Ittle Dew was still a bit fun too ^^
Does Endless Space have a campaign/story mode?
Ittle Dew has some good moments, but the non-puzzle content is pretty barebones.
There’s no campaign in Endless Space, just skirmish battles against the AI or in multiplayer. The battles can last a few hours, but I’m not sure what people were using for their HLTB times.
non-puzzle content is pretty barebones
oh, hoped for being better considering its high rating
what people were using for their HLTB times.
One skirmish game I guess then. Glad to hear it was alright ^^
Challenge completed~
Thank you for the picks, I had fun with most of them ^^
Hey! I’d like another challenge!
Sg wins only please. No multiplayer/early acess/unfinished episodic games. Thanks! :)
Extra points, if you include at least 1 games from my ABC challenge. xD
Alright gonna choose to not let you wait too long :3
– Finish:
So, I was thinking of picking Blackguards from ABC, but 40+h seemed slightly high (ノ*°▽°*)
(unless you’d want to ;-) )
A bit difficult there otherwise, many either mp, tooo long, or.. let’s say lower quality games I’d be a bit uncomfortable to force upon you ^^’
But found 2 nice ones, where can I redeem my bonus points :D
| Offspring Fling! | 3h |
| Zenohell | 1h? |
| GOD EATER RESURRECTION | 35h |
| 神明的一天世界(God’s One Day World) | 4h |
| Duke Nukem Forever | 10h |
Was also thinking about including:
- Homefront®: The Revolution but haven’t found the prequel in your game list to be finished first.
- As a wild-card not-so-great™ game QuestEvent (from the ABC list), only 1 hour but probably not a good one xD
- and Life is Strange: Before the Storm, which isn’t released yet, would take a week of wait and no data about completion time
Can of-course switch any in if you want ^^
Thanks for the list. I don’t mind long nor bad games. I have a bunch of them, so I like to be forced to try them. xD
I played Homefront on xbox a long time ago. I didn’t feel the need to re-buy it on steam. Thanks for not including LiS:BtS. I prefer to wait until all episodes are released to play all episodes at once. I’ll try to include QuestEvent too.
Thanks again for the list. Gonna try to start it later today! :)
Oh LiS:BtS will be episodic again? Then it will take (too) many months xD Kind of thought it would be in one piece this time.
don’t mind long
With GOD EATER 1 that is covered :3
played Homefront
ah ok, the shooter slot now got taken by DNF, people are really divided on that one (then again HF2 isn’t top-rated either), would be interested to hear what you think (if you get to it) ^^
And good luck with QuestEvent too, at least it’s very short ;-)
So, have fun (・∀・)ノ
Just to give some feeedback about this. It took me almost 30 days, but I’ve finally beaten the last game of this challene: GOD EATER RESURRECTION. Jesus, at some point I really thought that the game was endless. I had to rush towards the end because I couldn’t take it anymore.
I wanted to beat the sequel too, but I just can’t. Two of them in a row is madness. Maybe next year xD
Well, better late than never, right? Besides, with this game finished, it means that I got a 5/5 ratio on this! :D
Challenge Me Lenor! :)
Aww, thank you so much for asking me to pick for you, I’d be honoured and humbled! :)
Wow you have some amazing games waiting to be discovered in your library :D The times listed for Dungeons 2 and Mark of the Ninja are highly variable not just based on skill or playstyle but also whether you want 100% completion or not. We can talk more in detail about them on Steam if you like.
| Dungeons 2 | 15-20+ hours |
| Mark of the Ninja | 9-20 hours |
| Fran Bow | 9-10 hours |
| Submerged | 5-6 hours |
| Tormentum - Dark Sorrow | 4-5 hours |
The following two games are from your SG wins. One of my principles is picking games I have played myself and have formed an opinion on. You have already played the wins that fit that criteria so I really can’t pick anything to add to the list above. INFRA is a win that definitely caught my attention but its 3rd episode is not released yet. So I’m firing blindly here :D I hope they end up being good so you won’t despise me for picking them :P Skyborn is not something I’d play ever :P
| Fight The Dragon | Not listed |
| Skyborn | 8-11 hours |
I’m really bothered that the lines separating game titles with game duration for both tables are not perfectly aligned :/
ninglor03 said she would pick my games :D
And so it shall be! :]
As always: I pick games, I played/would play or will play. Or I think are awesomely interesting even with out me wanting to play them :D
Hope that works out for you!
And as mentioned before: You don’t have to complete this challenge! Play as much as you like and find time too :)
- Dark Arcana: The Carnival - HLTB Time: Completionist 4h - SG win - Played, approved :]
- Sword of Asumi - HLTB Time: Completionist 2 1/2h - SG win - Unplayed, owned :D Considering the time to complete, I should reconsider though
- Life is Strange - HLTB Time: 15 1/2h - Very much approved!
- Puzzle Agent - HLTB Time: Completionist 4h - surprised me positively
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - HLTB Time: Completionist 27h - nope, not my game, but I approve of Van Helsing. And I thought you could need some Action :]
I really liked the folder “never play again” :D
OMG, you have Otherland! Can’t start it, since it’s a mmo and I know what will happen to me… :]
I must say that is great list of games, both Dark Arcana and Sword of Asumi were close to getting to abc list :D
Although i only have Episode 1 from Life is Strange, if i remember correctly it was free long ago and that is when i got it, sadly BLAEO sync sees it as a whole game maybe i should report that as a bug :D So maybe something else that is complete? :]
Heard good things about Puzzle Agent so looking forward to it :D And Van Helsing looks good, been a while since i played RPG hack&slash. But would like to know why you though i need some Action? :P
Well those are the games i want to forget and without keeping info about it i might forget and get back to it xD I know it sounds weird :D
Now i had to check what is Otherland, no idea where/how i got it. Doesn’t look promising and have some great reviews about it xD
Sad to hear about LiS, since it’s awesome. If you can, get a hold of the complete game! <3
But instead, I offer you something we have been talking about :D
- Always Sometimes Monsters - HLTB Time: Copletionist 12 1/2h - thump of approval! :]
I dunno. You play CS, so I wanted to give you some shooting. You don’t have Mass Effect though, so I thought instead I offer you some action. That’s about it :]
Ha, reasonable enough I guess :D
Well I read the book and it’s AWESOME! I had soooo high hopes about the game… only to learn it was a MMO and it instantly died. So yeah. I’m still excited to see it in your lib :]
Don’t know why i knew you would chose that one :P Installed 4 little games so far, Helsing is 8GB though so will DL it later :D
And FPS games are action games, so more then enough action :P But ME is cool, played 1&2 it off steam though long ago… I know, too many games playing before getting them on steam ^_^
Well i guess if i ever get to deleting games it wouldn’t stand a chance :P
And thanks for the games once again :)
Well it was already in my closer choice and then I had to abandon it for some other game :]
ME is THE BEST! <3
Wouldn’t blame you. Everything I heard about it… well, let’s just say, the need to play it is not that present ;) :]
Your welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy them! And take your time ;)
Just progress so far :) Still plenty of time for your picks ^_^
