♠ Update 26 April ♠

Progress on my book-game challenge:

  • Sword Daughter
    Sword Daughter

    6.5 hours playtime

    15 of 15 achievements

This is 100% done on both the game and book front, I just need to sit down and pound out my wrap-up post. I hope to do that this weekend, but it is final exams season so that might wait until I’m in the right headspace.

As an FYI: previous months’ book-game wrap-ups are linked on my profile page if you’re interested.


Otherwise played this week:

  • Playne: The Meditation Game
    Playne: The Meditation Game

    9.3 hours playtime

    15 of 40 achievements

There is now an alpha test open for the mobile version of the game, but as it doesn’t connect (yet!) to the PC version I haven’t signed up to be a tester. I think that would divide my time with it a bit too much, until it does.

  • Worlds Adrift
    Worlds Adrift

    0.7 hours playtime

    no achievements

  • Bayonetta
    Bayonetta

    0.5 hours playtime

    1 of 50 achievements

These were both gifts from friends this month, so I felt obligated to put at least a bit of play on them. They both seem fun in their own ways, but I just need more time + focus to really dedicate to solid play for them both.

  • Burning Daylight

  • Nyasha Valkyrie

    1.6 hours playtime

    16 of 32 achievements

Burning Daylight was just a rando free game that looked like it could be an interesting palate cleanser. Really cool plot theme, sort of a mix between Matrix + Soylent Green, so it was creepy and engaging at the same time. A small time investment for the experience, and I think it was a great project for the group of art students who apparently created it as a project.

Nyasha Valkyrie was played rather mindlessly as I sat chatting to someone. Just your run-of-the-mill slider puzzle, with anime styled sexy winged girls. I do not own the 18+ nudie DLC so I can’t comment on teh lewdz.

  • Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced
    Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced

    30 hours playtime

    40 of 80 achievements

This got little playtime this week as my co-op partner has been working overtime and thus hasn’t been around. Also, when he gets back I’ve gifted him a copy of Tomb Raider since I loved it so much, so now his time will be divided even more so when he does. :P


I’ll post next time with my new monthly picks for May. Until then,

Oh, I remember a lot of people were playing Bayonetta quite a while ago. I think they had a lot of fun with it. The other game, I haven’t heard of until today. Looks interesting, though. Borderlands is a good game, enjoyed it a lot when I played it years ago. Hope you find some time with your co-op partner soon.

Good luck with your final exams! :)
