QUARTER BREAKDOWN

JANUARY



The Month of Co-Op Games


January was a crazy month for me playing so many co-op games I was surprised I finished so many.


Had so much fun playing together with the members of my Discord channel that often times I would forget I needed to go to bed, as the next day work started again.

Samorost 2

Extremly Short Completion
Point & Click Adventure Steam Completed

Great follow up to the prequel. The story was a lot more consistent this time around and the improvements were a lot better this time around. Although not as fascinating as the first time, I enjoyed this game as much as the previous one.

Rusty's Retirement

Played: 106.7 hours | Achievements: 71/71
Very Long Completion
Farming Sim Idler Steam Completed

Very pleased to put this game in my completion list starting this year. It's a nice idle game. Had a lot of fun, but I wish progress would carry from biome to biome. It's a bit of a grind overall getting all the achievements.

Biped

Played: 13.8 hours | Achievements: 15/15
Short Completion
Co-Op Puzzle Steam Completed

Played this with a TalePlay friend. We laughed so much. It's a complicated game as you need to get used to walking, puzzles are tough and being patient with one another is ideal.

Untold Stories

Played: 3.5 hours | Achievements: 13/13
Very Short Completion
Point & Click Puzzle Steam Completed

Expected some really interesting stories told. Was fairly disappointed by the game. Was very unique, but the game was not fun to complete and I was forced to follow guides to understand how to complete this. Not a fun game.

It Takes Two

Played: 18.7 hours | Achievements: 20/20
Short Completion
Co-Op Adventure Steam Completed

By far one of the best co-op and adventure games I've played this year. I might even say that one of the best games I've played in a very long time. Touching story, likable characters, great moral story. A masterfully crafted game.

Iron Lung

Played: 2 hours | Achievements: 7/7
Extremly Short Completion
Atmospheric Adventure Steam Completed

An interesting and claustrophobic game. I did watch this game and kinda got a big chunk of it spoiled by Jacksepticeye, but still wanted to try it and tick it off my backlog. Glad that I did.

Journey

Played: 10.5 hours | Achievements: 14/14
Very Short Completion
Adventure Co-Op Steam Completed

This game disappointed me. It's not a bad game, but it's not living to the hype and the compliments so many people praised it for. It's a decent game, I'll give it that, with pretty visuals, but with a boring story and the gameplay is too shallow.

Archons

Played: 37.1 hours | Achievements: 12/12
Medium Completion
Bullet Hell Action Steam Completed

Really enjoyed this game. Despite being a fairly complex bullet hell game, I constantly trumpeted that this is by far one of the best ones I've played due to it's creativity, fun and uniqueness. I only wish there was more content.

A Way Out

Played: 22.5 hours | Achievements: 14/14
Very Short Completion
Adventure Co-Op Steam Completed

Although I played this on the PS4 before and beaten it, I decided to have another shot to complete it. I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Really good game, with a little bit of decision-making.

Simulacra

Played: 25.5 hours | Achievements: 24/24
Very Short Completion
Detective Point & Click Steam Completed

A unique take on this type of genre. I have to admit I enjoyed it more than I expected. After playing Over the Phone, this was exactly what I was looking for, a more interactive game. Decisions matter and can change the grand finale.

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions

Played: 238.5 hours | Achievements: 31/31
Very Long Completion
Utilities Relaxing Steam Completed

Not a game, but rather a program you use in tandem with other stuff you do on PC. Whether you want to listen to some relaxing lofi or just have a very warm and pleasant vibe, this program is perfect for that. A little too grindy to complete.
