Gameplay Summary

This month I had one mission: Beat one of my long games for Play or Pay (PoP). Though I didn’t complete my goal yet, I was laser focused on making progress during the few hours I was able to play. I also snuck in a bit of Jackbox games for work-related events, so that added a little to the time I spent gaming. Overall, this month had fewer games played, but I was able to add another beat to the tally.

In Progress Completion: Drawful 2

At the beginning of this month, I had an event with some coworkers, where we played some more Drawful 2. It was a blast, and thank goodness this time it had family-friendly mode. I even earned one extra achievement that I did not have yet, which is a nice bonus given I only played the game an hour this month. This is a title I will come back to later when we need a good Pictionary-style game.

Beaten: SUPERHOT

After completing a good portion of the story last month, I was quickly able to beat the main story for this game. The real challenge began after I unlocked the endless and challenge modes. While some of the challenges are fun, and endless can be a good time sink when I need something to play, the endless mode started to drone on a bit given the escalating unlock requirements to work toward unlocking all the endless maps. I was able to make some good progress toward my goal of 15 hours (the minimum time played to mark the game beaten under the Long category for PoP), but I still have a ways to go. This coming month, I will be finalizing the 15 hour mark so avoid having to pay. At least the challenges are a load of fun (especially the katana-only challenge, which I beat).

In Progress: The Jackbox Party Pack 2

To round out the month, I added another Jackbox title to my played games: Party Pack 2. I only played a few minutes since we were just testing Quiplash XL for an upcoming work event at the beginning of the next month, but it was a fun test run. I will update how it goes with more people after we play next week.
