Report #5
A short free game I stumbled upon soon after its release. Not anything special to write home about by any means, but when a jigsaw puzzle game has 3 different ways of helping the player find connections between pieces, that is indeed very nice. And I respect that.
As I wrote in my review, thanks to that the game is really about as challenging as you want it to be, so nobody can claim it's too hard or too easy.
This was an SG win I played last minute to finish September's Pagywosg event ^_^;
While my review is positive, looking back on the game after a month, it's not that memorable, and the comic book presentation got old fast. But then again, the meat of the game, the adventure and humor were there, and they were good, so all is good in the end.
All in all, I enjoyed it for what it was, and there's no need to come back. It's that sort of game.
Another free game. And damn, I forgot how much I like adventure games set in modern times (sort of 1985-2020). It something about these B-class adventure stories that gets me, be it Mummy (arguably set before WW2), Jurassic Park, The Thing or even 1998 Godzilla. Something that scratches that Humanity Fuck Yeah itch, where indomitable spirit, creativity and simple bravery of ordinary man can overcome great dangers and bad odds.
Ekhm, yes, the game. As I said in my review, it's solid and plays like it should. Enough so, that I wishlisted 3 paid chapters of the series on Steam, and keep an eye out for the new series the devs are making with yet another free chapter :o
Suffice to say, I really liked it :3
And what do you know? Another free game :o
A Tower Full of Cats really spoiled me. Or rather, it was so good that it perhaps made me enjoy a genre I usually wouldn't.
This game is not as good, and while I won't say it's completely bad, it's bad enough to be unpleasant/boring to play.
It has GREAT help button though. It doesn't solve the puzzle for you - just (literally) points you in the right direction. Simple, efficient, and for some reason, very innovative. I hated that Tower Full of Cats was finding cats for me when I only wanted to ask for some help ;_;
This should literally become the standard in the genre.
Some more decent progress for 2024. This time it’s mostly small free games though and one lone SG win. And while only one of them I enjoyed 100% through and through, I don’t regret playing any of them.
What is regrettable however, is that I missed a month to try to play a shit-ton of HOGs for pagywosg :(
Unfortunately, I learned that when games and real life disagree on how I spend my time, real life takes priority.
BLAEO
