End of May Update!
Hey everyone. I hope May treated you well. I’m still working on my PoP challenge (one game left to play) and I’m doing another Challenge Me! I also bought the remake of my favorite childhood game: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door. Overall, I’m very excited for June. I forgot to add in post, but both of these games worked great with the Steam Deck, with no issues.
Dave the Diver is a casual sea exploration game where you catch fish, fight enemies, and work at a sushi restaurant. There is a main story with plenty of missions and content to keep you coming back for more. This is a very well made game and a lot of creativity and love went into it. The graphics look great and there are a lot of quirky moments in the animation style and story.
The game constantly adds new gameplay mechanics throughout the whole game. I was getting new tutorials until the very end. There are plenty of side activities you can do. The main story isn't as important or appealing as the side activities most of the time but none of the side content is required, although they usually add more game mechanics and enhance the game.
All that being said, I think this is a very good game with a lot of effort and care put into it, but ultimately, it wasn't for me.
I found it very repetitive and some of the gameplay mechanics were tedious. Especially a few minigames. There are a couple moments that drove me up the wall, but overall, it is a mellow, stress free game.
It was a weird feeling because the amount of content in the game made me feel more rushed and conflicted than intended and somehow I found myself both bored of the repetitive days, and stressed trying to complete everything in the game. Overall, I did the main missions and a lot of the cooking missions, but I didn't go super deep into the game. There are still plenty of things to explore and do.
Overall, very well made game that I do recommend, but I'd do some research to make sure its for you. By the end, I was more relieved than sad that it was over. I may go back for the Godzilla DLC though!
Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a sidescrolling Puzzle Platformer. The game is set between the pages of a diary and a fantasy story as you explore the personal life and the storybook of a young girl named Izzy.
I got this game as an extra bonus in a bundle, so i went into it completely blind. This was both a lovely and emotional experience. It balances the scale of sweet and sorrowful so well. The main subject matter hit me deeply as I went through something similar to the main character. The watercolor art style is absolutely beautiful and the music and voice acting are very well done.
If you like storybook type games, I recommend this one for all ages.
