Extra games for february

Wasn’t the most productive second half, but managed to squeeze a couple games in.

Ryse: Son of Rome [ ⏱ 6 hours - 🏆 27/73 ]

Very polished third person adventure game. Runs very smooth and looks beautiful, heavily relying on QTE gets repetitive but it didn’t bother me much as the game is relatively short at only 6 hours. Definitely enjoyed the game and time well spent, quickly followed by re-watching my favorite scenes from the Gladiator.

The last boss left me disappointed, didn’t manage to beat the game with the suggested method (couldn’t get consistent counter-blocks), eventually won rolling around a lot.

Mother Russia Bleeds [ ⏱ 4 hours - 🏆 5/33 ]

Got a Double Dragon vibe from the gameplay trailers, holding a special place in my memory from arcade days made it a must-buy (must-get?). Challenging, especially towards the end (downed the difficulty after getting frustrated). Would have been even better with friends over to play with (wouldn’t mind a co-op replay). Pixel graphics is not my cup of tea, that said it looked more than decent on the TV, the soundtrack is excellent as well.

Highly recommended if you enjoy retro beat-em-ups like DD or Streets of Rage.

Far Cry 3 [ ⏱ +3 hours - 🏆 x/x ]

According to HLTB (- current playtime) there were only 3 hours left to the main story. Finished the last couple missions and finally saved my friends. Ran into a a small unretrievable objective glitch.

In Proress:

GemCraft - Chasing Shadows: Looked simplistic at first, after a few hours new customization and features are introduced and it’s a lot deeper than previously perceived.

Activated a bunch of new games from trading and bundles, plenty of games to play, these made the shortlist for the upcoming month: ABZU, Crysis 2, Hand of Fate, A Story About My Uncle and The Tesla effect.
