End of January post

I couldn’t play much this month (the reason I talked about here) so I only beaten 2 games this month.

A very nice puzzle platformer game with great art style and story. There are some pretty creepy moments but I don’t think they are very scary. The mechanic is very simple with just jumping and shooting, you can hide from the enemy or sneak up on them too. The story has some clever twitst that got me really surprised. It’s a story about AI, more specificially it’s about AIs going rogue in different ways. It’s done very well in my opinion. It’s the first game of trilogy with the second game coming soon this year, I’ll definitely follow the developement and get it when I can.

A classic adventure game from Daedalic, I played it with Trilled Meow for the Monthly Challenge. Due to opposite timezones and my schedule it took us until recently to finish it. I played this game once before but dropped it near the beginning, I’m very glad I played it again to the end. It’s a very good game with many funny moments and interesting characters, the music is great too. The walking can be a bit tedious at some point, but it helps that you can quickly travel between areas by double clicking. Some puzzles can be pretty confusing but not too hard. Over all I really enjoyed it, having someone to talk with as I played was pretty great too. I have the rest of the series and will push them higher in my to play list.

Goals for February

• Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
  

  26 hours playtime

  no achievements

• Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders
  

  2 hours playtime

Hopefully I can beat more games in February. As I learned from last month making a big list is not very effecient, so I’ll try just having one or two games to work towards. For now my foremost goal is to beat Deus Ex: GOTY Edition. I started playing it since last year and still haven’t beaten it, it’s a good game but I’m so bad at it :(. I’ll try to kill it next month, and along with it I’ll try finishing Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders, which is a game I won on SG.

And since it’s coming, Happy Lunar New Year to BLAEO members who celebrate it! I wish you all a great new year in backlog assassinating!
