Wrap-up for August!

I surprised even myself with the amount of games I played this month. It seems August was one of those months that went by rather slowly which was great compared to the usual speedy months that you experience in adult life!.
Decided to present my list two-fold this time, pretty much because it is hard to fit all images in one collage and then make it big enough.

Played a lot of Darkest Dungeon and everything was going great but in the end it wasn’t the RNG that got me but the grindy nature of the game when losing a few characters. So decided that my time would be spend better elsewhere, maybe at a later date I will return to it.
My mission to play more Humble Bundle Monthly games continued as well and I can be brief about them. Maize a short fairly interesting game, it knows when it is about to overstay its welcome and ends just before it. Maize is a game that should be played on a rainy day.
Layers of Fear starts of quite scary with a good amount of tension however it soon starts to throw every horror trope at you that it loses everything that it had build supported by the fact that you can’t die in this game deprives it of any stakes and creates a whatever attitude in the player.
Not being a big fan of realistic driving simulators I gave Dirt Rally a go and found that I loved the cars in it, graphics were great to create a really nice environment. I finished a tournament and … well that’s going to be that for me honestly. Like I said driving simulators don’t do it for me.
Brigador was an amazing throw back to the 90’s. Didn’t like the control scheme very much which got my killed quite a few times but man oh man to throwback to 90’s graphics C&C style with fitting soundtrack was well worth it for me! RIVE is a fun twin stick ( hope I am using the correct term here) shooter definitely worth a play-through for it’s silly humor.
I can’t believe SUPERHOT sells for that much on Steam, don’t get me wrong it is a entertaining game to play but belongs in a price category under what it is at right now!
That’s it for HBM games!
Dabbled in a bit in Devil Daggers and Super House of Dead Ninjas
Japanese School Life was mediocre at best for me. If you like learning about Japanese culture a bit great but I would prefer to just read a few articles then instead of this.
The last game I played through it in one sitting, Journal is fairly short but it grabs your attention with interesting conversations pieces which you use to figure out the bigger picture of what is going on in the protagonists life. I felt that the ending was a bit of a let down but still the journey leading up to it was well worth it.
Almost forgot about Part Hard. It’s very original!! The game doesn’t hold your hand gives almost no instructions and you will get caught often killing party-goers because you need to learn how it works. The game is unforgiving in that way but it is great fun to play and especially see the random stuff that is happening. SWAT that arrives suddenly, a crack den that is located in one of the rooms or a circus bear that just shows up and starts killing. These are just some of the events that can mess up your run and leave you agape! Party Hard should be added to the list below!

Now for the crème de la crème of this month (( Yes I don’t care about figuring out how to put those weird things on top of the words!) ( fine! I copy pasted it from Google))

Thanks to Dirt Rally I remembered that I had another game sitting in my library requiring love and when we got reacquainted that was no stopping! REDOUT the love child of F-Zero and Wipeout. REDOUT got it all, the speed, the music, the lights and the gameplay! Screenshots just won’t do for REDOUT. You owe it to yourself to play it if you have ever played F-Zero or Wipeout!!
Wuppo, hahaha this game! OMG does it put a big smile on your face and make you forget about all your worries! Much like Botanicula, Wuppo has got cute art and an amazing interesting environment. Characters that are so adorable, it’s one of those games that makes me not care about progress and just enjoy it 100% ( Except for one puzzle which was really easy but took me 2 hours to get through because I failed to use my brain!!! It was a viscous circle of not using the brain > getting a bit annoyed > brained turned of more because of annoyance > still can’t figure it out > more annoyed … and well you get the picture, it continued like that for a while… But that was on me and can’t fault the game for that.)
Deep Space Waifu!… Bullet hell meets Neko?? I mean you shoot clothes off of girls in a bullet hell style arena. Now go and spend the 2 Dollars for this instant classic!
The bullet hell part is really not to intense so no need to worry there, having said that I died quite a few times when A my eyes didn’t stay where they should have or B I made an ultra bold move to get those pieces of garment instead of the more obvious strategy of crowd control.

Now as an extra, fitness if going great regardless of the two injuries I suffered but that is not what I want to discuss.
Recently I have been thinking about getting a headset but I am still undecided for the need.
Are you using a headset or aren’t you using a headset. I would love to hear your opinion on it.
Currently I am looking at Sennheiser GAME ONE.
