ABC Challenge - 6th update

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY7 (17/26)

Not much progress this time…

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 🎁 - beaten
Gears of War in Warhammer 40k world experience. The Campaign is solid, linear but easy to just go through. The story is fine, the most fun is in cutting through hordes of orks, it was really enjoyable :) MP is dead, couldn’t connect to any other player (not sure if there were any :D) You could still try to grind MP achievements in private sessions but it would take ages…

Strider 🎁 - in progress
This might get abandoned, but I am still hoping I’ll get back to it…

Abyss Odyssey 🎁 - in progress
Another candidate to abandon. First impression was like: Nope, not fun, not gonna waste time.. But it was only 15 minutes so far. Will give it another chance later

Gods vs Humans 🎁 - in progress
Another one I wanted to abandon, it’s not a great game for sure. And as there is no ITH entry I had no idea how long it can take to finish. Each level is almost the same, except of slightly harder difficult initial state (which, in fact, is random and if you restart the level, you can get easier or harder tower levels setup), it’s just boring. Sure there are multiple mythologies you can unlock, but those differ only in tower/humans look. Gods in each mythology have very similar powers.
As I am now near the end of fourth mythology (apparently out of 5) I think I will somehow struggle through it to the end

Other games

Virginia - completed
Just bought and finished it yesterday, fits Nonverbal November theme. I really liked it (most of the time :) ). It’s more like interactive movie than a game, but thanks to linear mechanics the storytelling is pretty solid, and it’s easy to finish in one sitting. Music builds suspense really well, and the graphics feels nice, if you like the style (except of protagonist face which stands out does not fit the rest). Unfortunately the story gets really weird and confusing at the end… Bummer :/

Watch Dogs - beaten (UPlay)
I usually don’t write about non-steam games, this is an exception.
It feels kinda like GTA & Assassins Creed mix Chicago City itself is great: people talk, jog, hug on a bench, have fun in a park, stop to tie up their shoe etc. It feels really live. And most of the missions are nice, you can try to finish’em stealthy or force your way put by ‘exploding’ the guards :D But the story does not stand out, nothing special with dumb plot twist near the end. Also driving physics is worse than in Sleeping Dogs, didn’t liked it.
There are some MP modes, and one (Online Hacking) was sometimes really irritating when someone invades your single-player session to hack you and you need to find him before he succeeds. It was annoying when you just solved the puzzle to find the collectible (e.g. hacking ctOS tower) and you can’t complete it because someone is hacking you… But on the other hand it was really fun to hack other players and see how they run around hoping to find you :D The rest of MP modes were moderately fun
Missed one achievement, which requires you to find 23 songs with “SongSneak” app, spent an hour trying to find one last song, but gave up. It’s totally random whether you find it, you can spent hours and not get it. Not gonna waste more time for a silly designed achievement :P
Reassuming, not great for AAA game, but nice for a free AAA game :)
