QUARTER BREAKDOWN

FEBRUARY



The Month of Side Scroll Adventure Games


February turned out to be my go to for side scrolling adventure games. I played one after the other and I don't regret it.


Games like these are perfect for my Steam Deck, where I got started.

The Deed

Played: 28.8 hours | Achievements: 17/17
Very Short Completion
Adventure Crime Steam Completed

Don't let the RPG maker look deceive you. This game is pretty interesting. Although it's a detective game, you play in the shoes of the killer. You have to cover your tracks and murder weapon.

Bulb Boy

Played: 38.1 hours | Achievements: 12/12
Very Short Completion
Adventure Point & Click Steam Completed

A fun little puzzle game. Really enjoyed it. It has a cool cartoonish art style, but it can be a little bit disgusting on some parts. One achievement particular wants you to play the game at 12 AM. It's a bit of a pain.

Pony Island

Played: 3.4 hours | Achievements: 20/20
Very Short Completion
Hacking Puzzle Steam Completed

If you're a fan of Daniel Mullins's games you'll enjoy this one. I believe it's his very first game. It's a strange one, but truly a fascinating game that loves to break the 4th wall time to time or play with your mind.

Limbo

Played: 4.3 hours | Achievements: 13/13
Very Short Completion
Puzzle Platformer Adventure Steam Completed

A beautiful adventure game, that despite it's simplistic visuals really kept me impressed. The completion side of things can be difficult, but because I've played this in the so many times, I knew a lot of the challenges that are coming.

Helldivers 2

Played: 282.8 hours | Achievements: 38/38
Very Long Completion
Third-Person Shooter Action Steam Completed

Last game I've played cooperatively that I was hoping to complete. The last two achievements were a bit of a grind, but the game was totally worth it. I had a blast playing this. It's one game I highly recommend.

Planet of Lana

Played: 14.7 hours | Achievements: 25/25
Very Short Completion
Puzzle Adventure Steam Completed

Yes... yes I cried my eyes out in this game and I'm not gonna lie that I wasn't touched by this simplistic, yet gorgeous video game. It's by far one of the best video games I've played that simply put me more in the mood for similar games.

Divine Knockout (DKO)

Played: 2.3 hours | Achievements: 19/19
Very Short Completion
3D Fighter Action Steam Completed

The game was set to be delisted, so since I noticed that the game is easy to complete, I decided to do it before the servers shut down. It was an okay game. It would have been pretty fun at release with your friends.

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)

Played: 5.5 hours | Achievements: 19/19
Very Short Completion
Platformer Adventure Steam Completed

After Planet of Lana and Limbo, I just felt I need to have one last go at another side scroller platformer game like this. I wanted to play this game for quite some time. It's very interesting. Not as good as Planet of Lana, but pretty unique.

Shop Titans

Played: 262.2 hours | Achievements: 77/94
Extremly Long Completion
Idler Crafting Steam Beaten

Made my return to this mobile game that was ported to PC. I said to myself I'll get to it one day. I guess this is the day. I'm working slowly as it's quite a grindy game, with lots of waiting, but actively doing stuff. Got myself a great guild.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

Played: 38.3 hours | Achievements: 2/47
Very Long Completion
CRPG Strategy Steam Unfinished

Not the most complex RPG I've played, but definely a slow and not the most user friendly. I had to check a lot of information online to understand it better.

Trent

Played: 38.1 hours | Achievements: 12/12
Very Short Completion

Huh? :D

Limbo
Played: 4.3 hours | Achievements: 13/13

Wow! I’m impressed.

Don’t let that time deceive you. The game was very short, that’s just idle time. The same for Bulb Boy and Simulacra. I have idled those games in the past. It was a mistake I made when I first discovered Idle Farming tools.

I won The Deed on SG and never got to it. Someday lol
Pony Island was really cool, I loved it and I’m really glad I played it before The Hex because it really help me to understand Daniel Mullins’s mind, so I wasn’t so jarred when I played the latter. Stil waiting to buy Inscryption on a deal.

I have both Planet of Lana and Never Alone on my backlog - the former has been highly praised by critics, but I’m glad the latter is also good. Def need to play both sometime haha

Don’t take my time spent scare you. This was a game I massively idled as Simulacra. I didn’t spend that much time to complete it. It’s a few hours short.

I liked The Hex a lot more than Pony Island. A step up in the right direction, in my opinion.

If I am to suggest, play Never Alone first. It’s less emotional and you’ll not compare it as much as Planet of Lana.

Bulb Boy was such a fun game for me. The sequel is finally coming, so if you didn’t know, keep an eye out for it

Oh yeah! I enjoyed it. I saw that right after finishing it. I was surprised to find out. I’ll try it for sure. I did like more the color choice for the first one.

That’s really a beautiful layout !

Vasharal

Thank you, but the credit goes all to Lengray. I asked permission if I can use it and then changed it over time. If you scroll a bit lower, you can find the similarities. He has changed his most recent ones.

coleypollockfilet

I also really like his recent layout with the very legible beige background. What i prefer about yours is the big blue stripe at the beginning !

Vasharal

Thank you! 😊 One thing I need to fix is to better make them look on my profile as they align weirdly. On the Activities feed looks great!

Good. Now you can get into community modules and spend a few hundred more.

Vasharal

No, I had enough. xD

Arbiter Libera

Aww, shucks.
