ABC Challenge - 7th update

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY7 (21/26)

Looks like I’m back on tack…

Strider 🎁 - in progress
Got some progress, beat one boss, but I am still far from finishing it.

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

Gods vs Humans 🎁 - completed
Finally I did finish it. Turns out there is < 80 levels in main campaign, you can see my impressions in previous post, the game did not get better since then

NEON STRUCT: Die Augen der Welt 🎁 - beaten
Stealth game set in cyberpunk future. The story is fine, the graphics could be better, more detailed and more diverse (even for an indie game). The stealth system is simple but fun. After missing few ‘collectibles’ (Geocaches and Strangers) I decided to go for 100%. Found everything in remaining levels, then retook first levels, just to learn that you have to find all Strangers in one playthrough for achievement (same with geocache and S Ranks achievement) All that work for nothing :/. Still, I enjoyed the game, so I might try again later. Undeniably the best part is the music which was just amazing and fits perfectly.

Eldtritch 🎁 - beaten
Rogulike in lovecraftian world. It’s a rather simple rougelike with short list of weapons and items but a fun one. Got the good ending on my 9th playthrough. Weird thing that second world was much much harder than the third world.

The 7th Guest 🎁 - completed
90s Horror-themed FMV puzzle adventure (Fun fact: One of the first games released on CD). The story was hard to follow for me, because of sound quality and no subtitles, so I focused on puzzles. Most of them were fun: some were easy, some were pretty hard. One required a great language knowledge and is really hard for non-native speakers. Another one was a very irritating board game against CPU. I read somewhere (not sure if it’s true) that AI level for that puzzle game depends on your PC clock speed and it was pretty simple to beat it in 1993, but now it’s just extremely hard… Thankfully you can skip almost every puzzle by using in-game hint book if stuck. Summarizing, had some fun and some irritation, nothing special.

Other games

Blacklight: Tango Down 🎁 - beaten
It’s hard to call it beaten as it’s mostly Multiplayer game, but since MP is dead I just finished solo missions and there is nothing else I can do there. Solo missions were not much fun, levels where very linear and the AI of the enemies was pretty lame but I liked some of the ideas e.g. bluescreen-like vew when stunned.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition 🎁 - in progress
Started it very recently, will write more about in the next post

NOT A HERO - ME, MYSELF & BUNNYLORD CAMPAIGN (DLC) - completed
~2.5h of fun for less than a dollar. The story and humor is as fun as in base game. The additional levels are bit larger and different than original, and you can play as Bunny Lord ;)
