ABC Challenge - 8th update

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY7 (23/26)

STRIDER™ / ストライダー飛竜®🎁 - completed
Finally beaten. Story is a 80’s-like ninja sci-fi nonsense but the gameplay is quite fun. Smooth controls, nice graphics and lot’s of collectibles. It becomes much easier after you learn to use “Option C” special move on bosses :). Enjoyed it enough to give it another run for missing achievements.

Abyss Odyssey 🎁 - in progress
Not touched since last update…

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes 🎁 - beaten
Beaten it on my third approach for this game. I really like stealth games, and expected to enjoy this one greatly, but I did not (at least not ‘greatly’). It wasn’t a bad game, but something felt not right, don’t know what exactly :(. Even tough this is only a prelude (demo) to MGS V: Phantom Pain, there are many side missions to attempt and some collectibles to find. But I’m not gonna give them a try now, maybe later…

Other games

Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition 🎁 - unfinished
I had fun with it most of the time, but there were cases of glitches and weird bugs or badly adjusted controls for some of the machines (especially helicopters) that ruined it (a bit).
The main mode for this game is free flight simulation which bored me quickly. There is also a large set of missions, varying in difficulty,and you might need to spend ~100h to complete them all. I’ve spent ~35h in game and beat about half of them. Probably not gonna to try the rest.
Now I’m not sure how to qualify this game, I’ve beaten just half of the missions but the main mode of this game is free flight simulator which you just can’t beat or finish.
P.S. You can install Terra Emergence Project v.1.3 to get a bit better textures.

SpaceChem: 63 Corvi (DLC) - completed
I’ve bought and completed missing DLC. It turned out to be much easier than late missions of the base game.
Finishing each level was still very satisfying :)

HITMAN
This game was already completed, but I came back to it as the devs have reactivated Elusive Target challenges. I’m gonna to try those I’ve missed.

Downwell 🎅 - completed
Unexpected Christmas gift form Akantha (thanks again:). Simple in design, hard to beat. Quite fun rogue-lite, where you kill enemies with your gun-boots, and the only way to reload’em is to land or stomp on enemy. There are just four areas, each is split into 3 levels and has different theme and enemies. After each level you can choose one of randomly selected upgrades. Getting to final boss takes lots of tries, and beating him unlocks Hard Mode - more enemies and higher prices in shop.

I just played ground Zeroes as well and wew-I was stuck inside a building with a hostage and then I died and appeard outside of the building away from all the enemies…with the hostage safe and sound on my back…so that was easy?

also \o/ for nearly being done your ABC plan

Didn’t know Big Boss can teleport :)

Have you tried Side Ops? Are they different/more/same/less fun than main mission?

Blue Ϟ Lightning

side ops are…less but also like gameplaywise completely functional.
theres no way I’m playing all the phantom pain side-ops but I feel like I should finish all of these because of how short it is just to consider it beaten…

the most annoying one is this one where you are shooting from a helicopter with a shitty rifle thingy that sprays everywhere and I spent the whole thing going this should be a stealth game why am I picking guys out of buildings before they shoot down my helicopter while a tank roams around bellow.

Congrats on your progress! ^_^
I enjoyed SpaceChem myself, never finished it though. Its time will come :D Also I’m so jealous when people beat games I struggle with, Downwell in this case. I had fun with it, but I don’t think I ever managed to reach stage 3-1. Any tips? :)

PapaSmok

Tips for Downwell? Hm, I don’t know :O
I felt most comfortable with Levitate style as you fall a bit slower and so have more time to react.
I also tried to get “consume dead bodies” upgrade as soon as possible and build up life as much as I could in the first 3 worlds
And obviously try not to miss any side room and always pick up weapon as it will also upgrade your life/charge bar.

Thanks :)
