No major progress this month. Had limited free weekends and felt too tired to play during weekdays. Buggers keep breeding right away when I leave the room.

February report

I have made some pretty good progress in February, especially since I also gotten a lot of puzzle packs for different Pixel Puzzles packs done (every pack that I own) and beaten some other games too.

I am also looking for someone to play Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast for the multiplayer achievements, so if someone is interested getting them as well please let me know!

Completed SG wins

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard
Playtime: 1.5 hours
Achievements: 6 of 6 (100%)
Review: Just like the first game of the series this is also a charming, short and very silly detective game. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-4).

Other completed games

Papa's Pizzeria Deluxe
Playtime: 18.3 hours
Achievements: 90 of 90 (100%)
Review: This game is pure nostalgia form my childhood even though there is multiple crimes against pizza in it. While it’s a good game with a ridiculous amount of ingredients, customers, recipes, clothing, and decorations to unlock, it does have a few annoying issues. You can find my full review on Steam here.
The Elephant Collection
Playtime: 9.8 hours
Achievements: 42 of 42 (100%)
Review: A collection of old, nostalgic Elephant (and more) Flash games. If you’ve played these games in the past and would like to try them again, I’d definitely recommend picking them up to relive your younger years. If you haven’t, it’s more of a ā€œmaybeā€, I would only get it if you want to experience the wonderful joy of Flash games from 20 years ago. Just don’t have super high expectations. You can find my full review on Steam here.
A Tiny Sticker Tale
Playtime: 3.2 hours
Achievements: 17 of 17 (100%)
Review: A short, cute game where you complete quests using the power of stickers. I found the UI a bit awkward, but other than that, it’s a cozy adventure. The Linux version of the game works without any issues.
Sophia the Traveler
Playtime: 1.2 hours
Achievements: 7 of 7 (100%)
Review: It kind of sucks not to recommend it, as there was obviously a lot of effort put into the art of the maps, which looks great. However, about half of the levels are just terrible, and it’s also a bit buggy (sounds sometimes play when they’re supposed to be muted and clicking on a hidden object occasionally doesn’t register). You can find my full review on Steam here.
Chessarama
Playtime: 17.1 hours
Achievements: 48 of 48 (100%)
Review: A game with four different chess piece inspired campaigns, each featuring 22–34 levels, plus four additional chess inspired game modes and the option to simply play normal chess as well. My main (and really only) complaint is that the campaigns desperately need an undo button. You can find my full review on Steam here.

I mean, its a deck dueler, but i havent played Slay the Spire, so I cant compare it to the touchstone deck dueler. I enjoyed it alot tho. Theres a couple achievements behind DLC, which is irksome, but whenever that goes on sale I'll prolly completionist this


Song of Farca

Some neat mechanics, but its basically just a fancy VN on top of a point and click adventure


Broken Age

Click to expand

Disappointing game. As a former Maniac McGee/Day of the Tentacle player, I had hopes for this. The art style is quaint, at first, but gets boring quick. The puzzles are not engaging. The story could have been pretty good, but its very railroad and the ending basically resolves offscreen.

Not the greatest month for games, unfortunately, but i spent most of it moving house, so i do have an excuse

Besides finishing Plucky Squire and Boltgun, i did find some time to finally put Tower Fortress to bed (i mean, technically it could come back, but not in any future i can currently foresee).
Nuclear Throne had an update at some point recently, so i've been trying to grab some of the new achievements, and yeah.. that game is just... well, i'm not having a good time, let's just say that...

Otherwise, just started Pyre, which is great so far, and acquired a fistful more to the backlog, as usual.
Keep it up everyone, i'm enjoying reading all your posts

2026 February

TLDR: finished American Theft 80s, played Expedition 33 and Deep Rock Galactic.

Deep Rock Galactic]

(store page)
has it’s long-awaited Season 6 update, so the game returned to the selection for a good while.

I "continued on" with Expedition 33

store page
a lot (89 hours) , but got to a point in the endgame when it just took so much energy, effort and planning to find an angle towards progress (other than to go back grinding) that I set the game aside for a while. Both the game and I needed some time to breathe.
The game is stunning. I could play it completely blind, only seen a few pictures, and not even trailers, and it’s an amazing expeditionrience with its story, design, music and overall world and tone. Though the ā€œcriticismā€ about it being super parry / dodge focused is 100% valid. If you don’t like it, there’s an accessibility option to skip it.
So, it just feels good to having developed the ability to balance playing a game, and taking a break from it. I’m sure it helps with my long-term appreciation.
Also, I was so afraid that I’ll get motion sickness from the fast camera changes in the game. None of that happened!

American Theft 80s

store page
Is a somewhat clunky thieving simulator, that’s just so full of charm and things to do. Anything linked to stamina sucks, the driving is a method of transportation (including the stolen goods) so don’t expect a GTA-like complex experience. The game’s focus is on handcrafted locations, NPC schedules, and playing around them, stealing stuff, selling it, and progressing through a story. A story, that honestly kind of sucks, but eases you into the game and the mechanics nicely, without overwhelming you with options and tools.
I really enjoyed my time with it (including a sandbox mode which has the goal of ~break into a lot of houses, be clever).
The 73% review rate is in the ā€œgood, but with obvious poblemsā€ , but it’s 90% off currently, and I absolutely recommend getting it if: you’re interested in playing a car burglar while yeeting out TVs from the 2nd floor, then following it as there’s no fall damage, and random shenanigans like that. The mechanics are relatively abusable :) But if stealth is not your poison, just skip it, it’s faaaaaaaaaaaaar from a must-have title.

Activated an old key (that turned out to be working) for Poker Night at the Inventory (2010 Original Version), and Augment Anthem for beta testing.
Bought the Fanatical charity bundle, but haven’t activated anything from it (yet), nor from HB monthlies (yet).

I haven't played a good HOG in a while, and this game came in a total surprise. There's actually good voice acting here! All of the voice actors did amazing job, none too forced and amateur and they all sound in character. Really sells the story, which is the typical corny HOG but not too bad. I especially love the bad guy's voice since it's deep and smooth, also it's got a bit of a creepy vibe in a grooming uncle gonna do bad thing to you way. Doesn't help that he tells you to do a fetch quest for him and calls you a "good girl" lmao. The actual HOG part is pretty fun as well, and I liked that there's "searching for multiple of a kind of item" ones a lot. The minigames in the base game were fine, but the bonus content has the minigames that I hate the most like tile swapping puzzles and the likes, I opted to skip a few of them there.

Furry Love 2

Servicable artwork, tho not my thing cuz furry and also mostly male dominating female poses. Nothing against furries and some of the single person ones are rather beautiful, just doesn't get me going. The minigames are, fine, I suppose. The only one that I really had trouble and actively dislike is the "cutter" one, just a bit of a frustrating minigame. Everything else is fine.

Well, this is certainly something! I played this since it's the first game of a series of Emily games that I own and plan to play someday in the future, and I went into it not knowing anything except it looks very old windows/computer vibes. It nailed the vibes fantastically! The story however is like, not bad but also not good? I feel like it could've expanded way more through the profile context, I like that there's hints of what other people are going through through the years. And if it's trying to tell a story of how shitty Emily is, then it succeeded cuz the part about her blaming me for something that I *did not* intent to do at all is just, real shitty. There's also a bunch of early messages that made me go "this girl does not give me the good vibes". I would've cut her outta my life very quickly.

However, it does work as an intriguing little snippet into these two people's lives, and in a neat way I like that there's no way for us players to change the outcome. Things are gonna happen the way they happen, and that's cool. Give it a try if that all sounds interesting, it is free after all. :3

Happy Chinese New Year everybody~I had half a month of holiday cuz of taking day offs+connected holidays, and was back at my parent’s place and away from my main PC so not a lot of game time this month. On the other hand I got back into writing fanfics which is nice. :3 Gonna try to take it chill in March as well, continuing Lies of P and Fall of Porcupine. I actually wanted to play Fall of Porcupine with my old PC during the holiday but found out it doesn’t have cloud save which kinda sucks. ^^;

As for the ā€œContemplating on Buyingā€, it’s cuz I haven’t played any Metal Gear Solid games before, and somehow(well I know how but still) I got utterly fascinated/entranced by a little rat man called Huey Emmerich. The fanfics that I’m writing are with him in it actually! I guess I just feel silly buying a game just to see a side character? So I’m still like, thinking about it. xD Maybe when spring sale comes around…maybe.
