Update 132: May 2024

Apparently I am a bit crazy and have decided that 3 weeks is enough time to prepare traveling to the US to visit a friend, while I am also working full time 😱

Half-Life 2

Quell Reflect

8/10
5.9 hours
36 of 38 achievements

Nice little puzzle game, enjoyed it just as much as the first one

Half-Life 2

Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus?

6/10
4.6 hours
17 of 17 achievements

I enjoyed it, getting all cheevos was a bit annoying though. Too much repeating.

Half-Life 2

My Friend Peppa Pig

6/10
3.3 hours
11 of 11 achievements

A simple game mostly geared towards children, some of the achievements are a bit tricky to get.

Half-Life 2

The Talos Principle

7/10
25.0 hours
24 of 40 achievements

Loved all the little puzzles, some where rather tricky. Also loved how they were introduced and gradually became harder. Just once ran into a bug where near the end one of the robots was "dead" and would not do it's part. Had to redo a whole section of the game.

Half-Life 2

Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection

6.5/10
57.4 hours
10 of 23 achievements

Liked the game. Some of the dialoge could have been a lot shorter though. Not a fan of having to press buttons for 20 min just to advance through some talking and there is no way to skip it. Also some grinding might be required to get some of the bosses. I found I had to go back to earlier dungeons to collect enough food, to be able to fight the bosses, which was a bit annoying. You can't buy food

Also finished the following DLC's or working on completion of game:
  • Coloring Pixels - Autumn Pack

As long as you have fun, you achieve the primary gaming goal :3
Just remember that beating the backlog is a secondary goal, and if it gets in the way of having fun, then you’re probably gaming wrong…

I always try to have fun and if I don’t I just tell myself that my backlog will love me for beating the game and then I reward myself with playing sth I love.
