September 2020 Beaten - Completed & Played Games
Hello good people of community. \o/ Another month has passed and i beat some games as we all. This month’s games mainly bought or got it for free in this month so not much on backlog side. First game i beat was Tom Clancy’s The Division™. It was a wanted game but i never get to try it. When i played it, i found it that it is exactly what i was thinking. Repetitive mmo style gun looter. It was a good distraction for me for a while but the bullet sponge enemies gets old too quick. Game world is pretty detailed and good but everything else is just average to me to like it more.
Second game is a wishlist game from the release Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I usually like to play games with no knowledge at all and start with highest diffuculty available. Oh boy and that aspect made the game more interesting. It is interestingly hard and i find it to be fairly close to Hollow Knight. It is very combat heavy and quite challanging. They tried to make this make different from first game but i felt like they tried too hard at some points of the game. It’s not like dying make you lose anything but still it is annoying in bosses especially. A little spoiler if you want an easy start buy the hammer and spike for really good damage. Final mention of the game; gorgeos environment, amazing animations, hardish gameplay and an average story. I didnt find it as emotinoal as the first one.
Third one is attached to a”sigh finally”. Immortal Planet is a “souls-like” game i wanted to get into but it is kinda boring. Also i realized that i started from the wrong area last two times. Nothing is really there to tell much, it is a game with a stamina based combat system. A little bit rpg and interesting boss battles. I like some gameplay ideas but it feels below average as a whole.
Last one can be considered a gem. Also it is good with the month’s theme since it is kind of spooky. The Supper is a FREE game with 20 minutes of point & click gameplay. I dont want to spoil much since there is so little, try out for yourselves if you are into spooky stuff.

This month i also got a month of Gamepass Ultimate for Nitro gift. So I have that but i am not really interested any game from there. Still i tried CARRION and found that it is pretty short. Last time it gave me nausea when i played but i am not sure to drop it yet. I will try to finish it. To be honest this was a disappointment too even though i had no expectations.

I’m about halfway through Ori myself, but I like this one so much more than the original one. The lack of real combat options was a real buzzkill for me in the first game which this one solves quite nicely. I don’t fully agree with them changing the skill system into (almost) the same one as hollow knight, particularly with things like triple jump and sticking to walls being charms which kinda forces you to keep those slotted in, but everything else feels amazing.
Also, thanks for mentioning The Supper, it was a surprisingly good ‘bite-sized’ experience. Not a massive fan of point & click games in general, but I wouldn’t mind playing something with this theme for like 4-5 hours if it will ever exist.
Oh if you wanted it combat heavy and this is perfect for you. :D I always though Ori more of a platformer and exploration game so this one was a bit surprising for me. For slot system actually you can add slots with fighting trails so i didnt feel any shortage. And even at some point at the game i played with an empty slot for a while. It didnt affected me much.
If you like that theme you can try Fran Bow. I too dont like point & click games but Fran Bow was a good experience. It is more on the psychological side though.
Ori is definitely more renown for its brutal platforming, but it doesn’t mean I didn’t want it to change :P I’m only missing one shard slot upgrade I think, but I’m guessing you weren’t playing around with spirit arc if you even had spare slots :P Right now I have to change my shards around for combat shrines and boss fights to fit all the combat stuff
You’re not the first one to recommend me Fran Bow, maybe I should get it the next time it’s cheap.
I was saving for triple jump for a while and waited to explore after that. :p
