Decided to kick my SG backlog this summer ! I started easily, with some short to average length games, to give me some courage. I know that this month was the one about big games, but I’m in holidays since yesterday, so I had to find small objectives for my weekends. (And I needed time to finish Trigger Happy Havoc :P)
Trigger Happy Havoc : it was SO cool ! I really don’t regret buying that one, even if it was a bit out of budget considering my usual expenses. But you need to really dodge spoilers if you want to really appreciate it. Luckily I knew, ans was able to love it until the end. I’ll keep it installed for trying to get more achiev now.
Steredenn (SG win) : I actually met the dev 2 years ago, when the game wasn’t on Steam yet, at a local video games convention (Stunfest ♥) in France (the devs are also French). I really liked, and I was sad to miss the HB monthly in which they were, but hopefully I won it. It’s a rogue schmup, and you better got lucky if you wanna make it to the end. My playtime is a bit low on it, I had a beta version on which I tryharded first.
Tesla Effect (SG win) : I never played any other Tex Murphy games before, but the trailer looked really fun. I admit I was a bit disappointed, the rhythm of the game is really slow, as the previous games were I imagine, but I didn’t had the nostalgia effect to make me like it. And I felt like I missed a lot of puns and jokes, because it was related to previous games. I believe it’s a game made for the original fans of Tex.
The Floor is Jelly (SG win) : nice platformer, the concept is fun. I didn’t felt like doing the achievement on this one : except the one which you have for reaching the ending, they all look a bit tedious, and while I had fun, I don’t want to spend more time on it anymore. Some jump can me tricky, it also require a bit of thinking with some “puzzle” part, okay for an afternoon.
Ibb & Obb (SG Win) : Another platformer, and I really loved that one ! I played it twice, with 2 different friends, and the mechanics are really cool ! But it wasn’t until two weeks ago that I actually manage to finish the last stage, that somehow I never managed to reach before.
Okay, now that I’m in holidays, I plan to beat these 3 SG Win which will be longer. I’m already halfway through ME:SoM, but it get really repetitive, i hope I will find the strength to finish it ^^ I might rush the optional quest, while I did them in the first part of the game. I really like LEGO games, so I think The Hobbit won’t be a problem. I tested a bit, and it seems cool. I don’t know what to think about Mad Max yet, we’ll see.

I’m glad you really liked Danganronpa! It’s one of my favorites. I hope you get a chance to play the sequel because I think it was a little bit better than the original, just in how it built on its themes and mechanics.
Who was your favorite characters? I really like Sakura and Kirigiri!
I really looking forward the two next game yes ! It’s been years I’m avoiding the anime because of the game, and I finally decided to buy the first. After the end, I would have absolutely bought the second one if it wasn’t for the price tag :/
Aoi Asahina was so cute :3 And Sakura Ogami was really brave, and I liked how their friendship gave courage to everyone !
Mad Max felt very repetitive to me, moreover in a bland, gloomy, brownish world, so much that I dropped it : good luck with this one !
I read ME : SoM might be crippled with the same flaws but as I plan to play it too, I hope it won’t be too off-putting.
Arf, I won it and so I want to finish it… But I dropped ME:SoM for this same reason, so I hope I will be able to finish them both…
Let’s rush the main story I guess ^^
LEGO The Hobbit was great! My kids and I loved it, and hope you will too. My son’s favorite character was Tauriel and my daughter’s favorite character was Bilbo. See what I mean? =)
Aww that’s cute :3 !
I heard that it wasn’t the best lego to do in co-op because one member was often unable to do stuff himself, is this true ? I really liked to do the 2 Harry Potter with my boyfriend, and you would love to play with him that one too, but I didn’t ask him because of these comments…
Well, the kids weren’t even 5 when we played, so it was pretty much just me. But we played some of Harry Potter 5-7 in co-op…which I found kind of annoying…the screen splitting/un-splitting every 5 seconds and trying to coordinate with a 5-year-old isn’t always easy. :p
I think I’ll play it alone then. Thank you for your comment :)
And I will remember this when I will play with my nephew in 2/3 years XD (he is 2 right now).
