May 2024 Main recap
Since i play 30+ games each month, here a main recap :
Top 5 Playtime Games beaten :
Siralim Ultimate
30 hours this month - 30 hours in total – Really nice dungeon crawler, based on huge creatures collection, each of them have special powers, 1200 creatures to collect (750 unlocked right now), story mode completed, at level 410 right now.
Stampede: Racing Royale
9 hours this month - 9 hours in total – Playing with the Playtest, nice F2P racing game with battle royale with 11 tracks and multiples karts, high customisation, and premium pass is currentky free for everyone (you have enough token for taking it for free), enough for me right now, will play again on next season.
KartRider: Drift
9 hours this month – 155 hours in total - Discover the new saison, with new skins and new cars, keep playing it …
Asterix & Obelix XXL
8 hours this month - 10 hours in total – Game from my chillhood (2003), so happy to complete it again with new music, new graphics and a couple of new challenges (17), but too bad they don’t added the full set attack from the second episode, and no signifiant new chance (no new level, enemies, boss …)
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem
8 hours this month - 33 hours in total – Overall nice hack’n’slash, mix between Grim Dawn and Path of Exile, get at -90% so totally worth it, Completed base game, and level 60 get, enough for me right now.
Top 3 Playtime Game unfinished :
Yakuza : Like a Dragon
6 hours this month - 6 hours in total – My first yakuza, really more rpg based, really liked for now, first 3 chapters completed.
Edge of Eternity
5 hours this month - 17 hours in total – A indie RPG close to Final Fantasy series maybe a too much guided (mainly closed zone), but a fun experience, lvl 35 right now.
Soundfall
3 hours this month - 4 hours in total – Rhythm game with light rpg system, 100+ music levels, overall a nice one, characters level 16 right now. (max = 50)
Top Playtime Game Abandonned :
CORBID - A Colorful Adventure
3 hours this month - 3 hours in total – World 1 was nice and pretty cool, but world 2 is pretty hard, and you can get soft lock on some puzzle because of lack of some color, a totally non-sense for a puzzle game …
P.S : Also played Dr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers, awesome free fan game, a mix between a 16bit mario kart in sonic world, huge content (28 cups, for 140 tracks), just completed 12 cups right now (around 7-9 hours of play)
Some others backlog game i will try to beat : LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™ / Bambino Rally 3 / Paperman - Adventure Delivered / SPRAWL / Pool Party
Congratulations on all of your assassinations!! ᓚᘏᗢ
I was curious about Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, and the amount of negative reviews are crazy! Is it still good despite that? I’m not sure if it’s just the initial negative review wave after dev abandonment or if it’s just that terrible.
Last I played Edge of Eternity it was still in Early Access (or something like that?) and there was a bug with the treasure chests so I dropped it to pick it back up later, wonder if it’s time.
For Wolcen, don’t get all negative reviews, game have good optimisation, nice gameplay and overall no glicth (just some deplacement glitch seometimes), after i think to play with a controller, don’t tried is with mouse & keyboard control.
Not perfect, mainly endgame that don’t add new content, and the equipement system on endgame is really badly done, in normal play, you only get equip lvl difference from 4 lvl of difference (1,5,9,13,17,21…37,40), ok because you win xp pretty fast (4 levels take around 2 hours), but on endgame, need 10 lvl of difference (40,50,60 …), and need 1 hours for 1 lvl, so 10 hours in general for new stuff, so really grindy with no new content …
For Edge of Eternity, game still have multiples bugs, so clairy play on a ssd (help removing a good part of them), and often saves, because get 2 soft locks during game (need to manually close the game, was on end of chapter 3 on my side), + some optional missions / battle that just are impossible for me (too much enemies in general), hopelly can be skipped.
Is Siralim Ultimate a brand new title, enhanced compilation of previous ones or something else?
Very cool. You’re getting a ton of good gaming out of Siralim Ultimate.
Solid list of games as well.
