Another 2-month post. Work was and still is very busy, so not much to report. I’m a bit burned out, to be honest. Lots of overtime and not much free time for anything, let alone gaming. So, my normally brief ‘reviews’ are even shorter and don’t have much detail, I’m afraid. This is more keeping up with routine and checking boxes so I don’t have multiple months to write up next time.

I was semi-interested in this and then won/was gifted it. A language-based adventure/puzzle game, I guess.
It's different and kind of fun. I'm starting to think I shouldn't buy puzzle games though, they never really grab me. When I get stuck, I check guides too. With other game genres, I feel I avoid doing that and hold off as long as I can. However, with puzzle games, it feels like you either get it or don't and there isn't much of a 'process' of getting further. Maybe it's just the fact that I can check the answers so easily. There's no easy way in action games, FPS, etc. So, a personality thing I guess. Interesting, but I won't seek anything similar out and I wouldn't really recommend it to people. 100% and Completed.Nobody Saves the World

Pretty fun roleplaying-adventure game where you play shape-shifting wizard.
Decent story and not too much grinding to beat the main story. I got stuck on a few of the 'challenges' that are part of the game and wasn't really motivated to pursue a lot of the other remaining challenges or achievements. The difficult or grind puts me off. There are a few achievements that require DLC anyway, so no way to get 100%. Fun up to a point and I might come back at a later point for a few more achievements, but it'll be Beaten and 63% for now.Backlog Additions
Additions are Loddlenaut, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Hades.
Congratulations on all of your assassinations!! ᓚᘏᗢ
Chants of Sennaar looks super interesting and I imagine I’ll pick it up soon, but like Jusant, it seems pretty short so I’m still awaiting a solid sale.
What games are you playing next? I’ve heard a ton of good things about Hades, it’s not my favorite genre but I love the OST’s!!
I’m playing Dysmantle at the moment. It’s steamdeck friendly, so easy to play on the way to work or in short bursts.
On the PC, I started Bear & Breakfast but haven’t played it recently. It’s pretty relaxing, so I should get back into that when I use the desktop.
Hades is one of those games that I will enjoy but be very bad at. It’s been added to the long list of games that I should play soon!
