July Progress Report
Second month using BLAEO. I was super busy with work IRL and really didn’t have time to tackle longer games in my backlog like RPGs, so I focused on beating smaller games instead. Hopefully I can finish more games in August.
Completed games:
Enjoyed this the most out of my July games. This is really not a golf game as much as it is a complete mockery of one. Absolutely jam packed with references, parodies and most importantly, puns! My review on Steam.
Rating: 9/10
While I normally avoid hidden object games, this is something rather unique! I love the sound design and how you need to interact with the game much more than usual to find stuff.
Rating: 8/10
Cute little puzzle game although it's rather short. It is also undoubtedly the best looking LEGO game out there right now. Few games use raytracing well enough to make a substantial visual difference: this is one of those rare ones. Screenshots don't do it complete justice, in motion it looks a hundred times better just because of the dynamic (and accurate!) lighting, shadows and reflections. It does come at a significant performance cost to run this on everything ultra with all RT effects on but DLSS saves the day again. I'm just happy I got a locked 60fps @ 1440p with my system 😅

Trippy puzzle game. Although it's ridiculously easy it's still a fun ride. Shame I can't try out the VR version right now due to having no headset yet, but I'll be sure to revisit this in VR in the future!

Basically a math game 😐 Took me a while to finish this one perfectly since some of the levels do get a bit tricky to solve flawlessly…
Rating: 7/10
I love the central gimmick of the game: solving jigsaw-like puzzles to unlock artwork. The artwork itself is rather mysterious and evocative which adds to the charm. Shame it's a barebones mobile port…
Rating: 6.5/10
Neat concept for such a simple game. Enjoyed finishing it but it does get progressively harder the more you go on.
Rating: 6.5/10
Pretty simple minimalist puzzle game. Gets slightly challenging in the last couple of levels, and even then it isn't that hard at all.

Thanks for the reviews! For a month with a lot or IRL stuff you still managed to beat a nice number of games. After all, the small games want to played as well! :) I also enjoyed you sorting the games by their rating. Hope your August gives you similarly enjoyable games :)
Thank you! I plan to review a few more games from the completed ones, since I really liked them quite a bit :D
Weird, between May and July, your game count jumped only by 27 games, while you have bought 46…
Other than that, good work! \o/
Or rather, since it’s all fun and games - well played! :3
Ah, if you mean the total game count, I’ve been getting rid of some stuff I won’t ever touch 👀 Which would explain the decreasing “won’t play” bar :P
