Time for the June post! :3
Even though I managed to finish quite a few games again this month I won’t be able to list it up as clean and complete as the last time ‘cause I got loads of work to do today.
One of the games with the highest priority to finish this Month was “Max, an Autistic Journey”
In fact the game itself is pretty fine and its challenging bosses were something I didn’t expect at first. In fact it looks like a child’s game and I was sure it’s one of the games that you just enjoy playing but in fact I got to admit there were quite a few things that actually really annoyed me. In fact one of those things was that almost every sentence included the phrase “in fact”. It’s annoying and this was just intended to show you what it feels like so I’ll stop with that from here on.
Another thing were enemies and even bosses who focus on lifeleech and healing. In some cases you can’t even beat them.
One of the games I really enjoyed and recommend playing was “Hell Girls”.
It’s a match 3 game with an anime twist. It’s like a cheaper version of HuniePop with less features and just contains one single mediocre lewd image. Also the developer offers an unconditional refund in case you shouldn’t like the game. I even gave away another copy on SG but sadly it didn’t get played yet.
Another game that I enjoyed for a while was “Pixel Piracy” (which I almost completed as well by now).
You get yourself a crew sail to islands, capture ships and manage/improve/build your own ship and crew members.
This is actually fun - until you get to the level 7/8 locations where almost every enemy causes bleeding damage on your crew. RIP my high leveled crew members with loads of skills. :( Goal of the game is to beat the four legendary pirates - each one at every corner of the map. Well, 3 more to go. :)
Did you get to know it’s Steam sale again? No? Well, let me tell you there is one and guess who couldn’t resist to buy a game although he didn’t want to.
Atleast I didn’t buy as much as last year - I limited it to two games so far, one which I purchased by selling some of my trading cards. And which I won’t talk about ‘cause of being “lewd weeb trash”… ;)
Let’s just talk about my main purchase: Nier Automata
The game is just great! I could play it all day long but I limit my time for that game to up to one hour each day ‘cause I’m afraid I’d play it through way too fast.
You never know what to expect ‘cause it’s switching the way how the game behaves every now and then.
It’s hard to believe that a game can work out several types of gameplay nicely but this one somehow managed it. It’s frequently switching between 3D Action fights, 2D platformer and even 8 bit arcade mechanics, various camera handlings (often even for the same fight) and often contains bullet hell mechanics in addition.
I’m frequently doing screenshots, so if you aren’t too afraid of possible spoilers feel free to have a look at those.
Also the soundtrack of the game is something special. There are several variations to each track which don’t just sound well but also adapt to the current ingame situiation.
Did you know there’s a bug with the self destruction which causes 2B’s skirt to disappear? She’s running around with full fan service mode afterwards.
In case you want to see my (almost) full list of this month’s games you can still access it on my profile or by clicking here
That’s it guy & gals, cya on my next month’s report.
I don’t think you will run out of content in Nier:A anytime soon. The game features 26 endings (one for each letter of alphabet) and at least 5 consecutive playthroughs are different from one another (meaning you finish it once, and when you restart it, you get different bits of story or even get to play as someone else). Or so I’ve read. I haven’t played it yet, although I’m quite hyped - top of my wishlist. ^^ I won’t be getting it now, even though I really would want to T_T, because of my new year’s resolutions. This year I’ve decided to strongly focus on playing SG wins (which I am), so basically only the wins and gifts exist for me now and have utmost priority. There is no point in me buying anything (unless it’s like a mega bargain - wishlisted title 90% off or something) only to play it next year. That is how my backlog started growing in the first place (buying too many discounted stuff, and putting off most of it for later;).
Have fun with it! :) I will gladly read your thoughts on the game after you’ve finished it :D
Yep, I read about the NG+ being a different character with a different view of the game as well. I wasn’t aware the game has that many different endings, that’s just crazy! There are still 25 hidden achievements - I’ll rather try to avoid walkthroughs for the different endings until I at least finished the NG+ :)
There’s actually even a second cause for limiting my NieR playtime. By limiting it I can make sure to keep on track with my SG wins. It somehow feels like more and more people are going to start doing giveaways for people who actually play their wins so I gotta try to keep up with my winnings.
I even gave away another copy on SG but sadly it didn’t get played yet.
I think the ‘in fact’ in Max is an autistic quirk Max exhibits in real life. It’s annoying to be sure but it is what autistic kids do, and I guess the game was trying to convey what life is like for an autistic child.
You’re right, that’s what it’s supposed to be. I just think the exorbitant usage was a bit too much. :)
Haha yeah. My son is autistic and when they get hold of an expression it does get very annoying. This game is on my schedule for July, I’m sure I’ll be annoyed by it by the end too.
