March Sum-Up
Wait- It’s April already? Honestly, I almost forgot for a second.
Before we begin, I would like to say sorry for the broken formatting on my last 3 reviews. It was posted around when Steam has a formatting error and I couldn’t fix it atm since Steam community banned me right after it was fixed because they found me upvoting a review 1-2 years ago that they recently decided to ban. Ridiculous, I know. But what can I do. I’m currently writing a ticket to Support, but I don’t expect much from them.
I like time management games. This one is just like Rescue Team 5 (my review) and I liked it.
The Test: Secrets of the Soul
Uhh… It feels like an online personality test, but it takes too long to get the result.
I actually didn't know that you need its DLC to 100% it. I ended up buying the DLC since I enjoyed the game and it's cheap enough. Still got no chance to play it, though. Still need to finish my wins/gifts.
As for the game, it's a shop management game like Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale minus the haggling and dungeon delving. I actually like shop management game that focuses on the shop part like this so I enjoyed it.
Aaah. I don't know, I just didn't enjoy playing it. Didn't realize that it was the same dev that did Oxenfree (my review) until I run the game - it looks so similar. People talk a lot like how it is in real life, which is what I like and hate about the game. The game gets tedious and boring to me, though. I just hate the long walk and chatter.
I finally finished all 3 games from this series that I got some months ago. I enjoyed them all - they feel like the same thing with different level layouts.
PoP cycle was almost ending so I ditched all of my wins/gifts and rushed to my PoP picks. I at least want to finish all short and medium games - I did finish 2 games a few months ago, but I felt bad for only finishing the bare minimum (plus I want to try this game).
I hate the game at first. It feels like a cheap game with its model and the mechanic relies too much on muscle memory and memorization (especially the throwing poo part). But it ends up becoming repetitive after a few tries - I could finish all levels easily after all of that failures. The repetition might be repetitive, but they keep on introducing new gameplay to make it more challenging. It's not to the point that I want to perfect the game (in fact, I'm too lazy to redo the levels after I got every achievement associated to that level), but at least I'm not that bored finishing everything.
Yep, this is my other medium PoP picks. I'm glad I started this one. I thought I have lost touch with point-and-click games since the last one I tried doesn't feel engaging (I dropped playing Day of the Tentacle Remastered when I tried it in Game Pass months ago). It turns out that it's just the matter of the story. Most point-and-click has empty progression that was meant to progress the game, but Anna's Quest is a bit different so I was still hooked to it until the end. Plus, it isn't as hard as other Daedalic games.
Well, a new PoP cycle just popped up, and as you expect, I still got some wins/gifts this month. I thought I would be able to finish them all on March, but it seems I overestimated my capacity.
On the good side, I just bought a Steam Deck. I’m going to move back and forth to stay between 2 places a lot so I thought it would be better to get it instead of bringing my brick laptop. I was planning to make a whole post about it, but then I realized that this site is more for slaying backlog rather than sharing about my purchase. That being said, I ended up spending some of my time tinkering with my deck instead of playing games (I still am), so I didn’t manage to do much last month.
I also plan to spend some time into taking care of my health so I won’t be able to play as often, though. I realized that my lifestyle is too unhealthy these past few years and I need to get some exercise in. I’m not sure how I’ll fit everything in, but I’ll do my best.
Anyway, see you later.
XD I like how you class it as to long when 0.3 is quite short for those games. They definitely got more exciting with different ending events for their newer games but yeah all those games are kinda similar. The longest one I did was 1 hour long and it just dragged on!
Oh im glad i didnt have to play a game with 1h long walking… definitely not a fan of walking sims and doing only that while hearing people talking is a terrible experience for me, hahah.
Yeah it was the advisor, as the whole thing is basically answering questions on what would you do as a commander of the army and then it will report how successful you are at keeping them in place. At least it was slightly different from the typical do you hate yourself, do you think you can survive against so and so monsters. I got a feeling the 2 medieval games I got are 1 hour too
that is super long just for a fantasy qna…
i think most (if not all) of their games are like that. thanks for letting me know that they are that long, though. i’ll stay out of those.
