It’s been a while. I went through my back surgery in March. All went well initially, then I suffered a CSF leak that had me messed up for another month. I couldn’t even sit up without vomiting or crying in pain because the headache associated with it was that bad. After the headache subsided, a large lump formed on my back at the site of the surgery further impeding my healing. This was a psuedomeningocele filled with CSF fluid. That has only gone away in June, so now I am truly on the road to recovery. While I was playing games a little when I wasn’t feeling too bad, I generally just let my backlog grow even more. Gonna try and pick up where I left off and actually play some of my games. lol.

So since last time I’ve been playing…

Won on Steamgifts. I am probably never going to get the achievements for this since they don’t register for MacOSX users, but I have most definitely played it. Another problem with the mac version is the leaderboard. It doesn’t work, so you can’t keep track of high scores to beat. I like the game, it’s nice, but the lack of leaderboard kinda takes away my enthusiasm to play endless hours.

A nice little Hidden Object game. The story was actually pretty decent, the art was lovely and the voice actors were pretty good too. One thing I’d say though is that the puzzles are quite easy. Completed the game in 4 hours.

More HO games.

As for Crimson Lilly, I’d say it is one of the worst Artifex Mundi games in terms of story. It was so friggen confusing and dopey, I don’t even. But… I finished it regardless.

I won this game in a Steamgifts giveaway a few months back and I’ve only gotten around to playing it now. I’ve always liked good solitaire card games anyway. They are relaxing. This one is a nice take on the classic game. I didn’t really care too much for the story to be honest. It felt a little irrelevant/disconnected from the game itself. In order for me to care about the story, it would need to be integrated into the gameplay somehow. However, I suppose kids would love that side of it since it adds a cutesy element. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the upcoming Mac option for the Remastered version, so I can play that too. (Them two last achievements though…. >.>)

I loved the first Glass Masquerade. I had to buy the second one. They are just so beautiful. Sure, it’s just a jigsaw game, but it’s simply gorgeous, relaxing soundtrack. Everything you could want from a game that you can relax on the couch with a cup of coffee and play at your leisure.

I have been playing a LOT of Armello. Over 100 hours worth. My friend gifted me this game because he wanted more people to play it with. And figured I’d like it because according to him, I gravitate toward cute things. (I think that may be true lol). I sorta got hooked on the game. XD I haven’t really been aiming to get all the achievements, but might do that soon. Game is a little CPU intensive for a board game though, that’s my only gripe.
