In August, there was somehow not much time for games, so it was not very productive in terms of fighting my backlog… But there weren’t very many new games added either, so this is probably not so important. This month I got “Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition Free” to my library, marked it “won’t play” immediately. AoE is no avaiable in my region and since I was able to add it via SteamDB - I decided just add it while I can :) Won “DREDGE” and “Resident Evil / biohazard HD REMASTER” on SG. Bought “Cat Goes Fishing” (daughter asked for it). +4 new games to library.

Games highlights of July:

• DREDGE
  

  13.5 hours playtime

  1.9 hours playtime

  16 of 16 achievements

DREDGE: At the beginning the game was really very good It is pretty interesting to explore the world and “lvlup” through catching various fish. The plot is interesting, but nothing outstanding. Really interesting mix of meditative fishing and horror elements. Until I got used to the game and world, it was even a little scary at night :) Especially I won’t forget the first meeting with the ship on the horizon… And those tentacles and crabs catchers for snag… A couple of times I even panicked and flew at speed on the rocks 😅

In the end, you just roam back and forth without any kind of challenge, just looking for a fish and story related stuff… You have plenty of resources, you don’t need money, the ship has most of upgrades… All horror part is no longer scary and is easy to manage.

Solid game, I played with pleasure. But definitely not worth the money that they ask for it right now. I would rate the game at 6/10.

Draw a Stickman: EPIC: Very interesting concept but “meh” realization. If you don’t have it in your library - you probably don’t need it to get it. 4/10

I commissioned some cats: It was OK. Nothing special and definitely not worth the full price, but at 70% discount can be a good catch for people who love such a time waste :) 6/10
