February 2024
Slower month. Busy with work and roguelikes keep eluding me of the completion. Should suck less, I guess? Also have been testing/playing some of my free Epic games. Jurassic World Evolution is simple theme park simulator but still somehow enjoyable. Mutant Year Zero felt like dumbed down XCOM (modern) that is dumbed down XCOM (classic).
Finished
Certainly not what I was expecting. For some reason I was expecting more of building mechanics and less scavenging. Humor was alright but kept diminishing through the game. Could have used more of the immortal chicken. I think I kept playing the game wrong. Wasted so much time gathering resources that didn't really need.

Wishing you the best for your roguelikes/roguelites, admittingly I’m not familiar with any of the ones you are playing. Breathedge is so strange, it has mostly positive reviews but whenever anyone talks about it I get the impression it should be closer to mixed - how do you think you played the game wrong? Isn’t base building the main thing?
Anyway, are you looking forward to playing any game in particular for March?
I think Breathedge was just weird mixture of mechanics. It certainly had its flaws. First two chapters of the game rely on survival mechanics where you collect stuff to build stuff to survive harder stuff. I kept collecting a lot of stuff that I didn’t really even need in the end. Base building mechanics in the game are very light and not that heavily relied upon. It is almost optional.
Helldiving was my main game for March. It is good base but has bugs and some clunky game mechanics and UI issues. With 40+ hours in it is getting already somewhat stale, I guess. Doing mostly dailies at the moment and waiting for the campaign to finish.
