Lot of different games this month and all were great!

First, Furi! Was having a shitty day and wanted to play something that would calm me. Was curious about it because you know… NEONS. I’m glad I had a painful day! It’s a great game, difficult (I’m really having a hard time with my keyboard, but hey! not gonna try it on controller, I’m way worst with it), the music is amazing… Overall it’s perfect!

Luxuria Superbia
Bought the Tell of Tales bundle during sales. It’s been quite some time I’ve been tempted to try ToT games, was not sure about it mainly because it has this lingering pretentious feeling… “Thoughts from ancient Earth literature by Marguerite Duras”, “Oscar Wilde’s 19th century play Salome that really inspired Fatale”… Could be amazing, could be unbearable… Still haven’t played those ones but Luxuria Superbia was amazing!
Heavily… hmmm sexy, colorful and calming! And really gorgeous (I took around 180 screenshots… for barely 2h of playtime)
It reminded me of Over The Void but with countless innuendos

Pony Island
Thought it was overrated, I was so wrong!
Won’t say much but it did a great job at making me feel uncomfortable, it was weird - a good kind of weird, the one you get when you’re having nightmares. Everything seems normal but you start having a strange feeling that something is off… and then you wake up. That’s how it felt while playing this game

Someone wished me a (4 months) early birthday and gifted me The Crimson Court hello someone! Still waiting for the rain! Need more!
Don’t have much to say about it. It’s great! Like Darkest Dungeon is! This game is so so good, I’m at 230h on it, still not bored, still amazed by the amazing art, music, voiceover. If by any chance you want to try it, buy the DLC with the main game. It goes better with a brand new game than with a “finished” (meaning DD beaten) one.

Then my favorite Finnish cat sent me this beautiful game : Leaving Lyndow. Although short it did an amazing job at telling a somewhat normal story, with beautiful pictures. It made me think of a movie, can’t find one to illustrate it but it was a great experience

Prophour23, not an easy game, but damn! really good. Still haven’t figured out how to get past the 2nd day… Still… really enjoy it. Difficult enough to be interesting but not too much to make you feel discouraged.
Thanks again to m0rphz!

Killing Time at Lightspeed
First heard about it here - it was amazing!

And finally Along the Edge
Started a bit disappointed… I was expecting something more eerie and weird - don’t know why though, I watched the trailers again and they were not advertising something that was not in the game.
It’s far from perfect. I had a hard time with the setup (France, countryside, probably in the south - a little caricatural to say the least) and the “romance” option - which earned me the “Like a virgin” achievement…
But once I got into it…
Daphné’s look change according to choices you make (ended up with long black hair), thought it was a great idea
Also the drawings are crazy… they really are, the game is worth it for that alone

In some other news, finally started watching the last season of Doctor Who.
Can’t say how much Bill is amazingly funny and great and cute and…
Clara was far from my favorite companion - still love Asylum of the Daleks! (still better than Rose and Martha but so boring compared to Donna & Amy) so I had mixed feelings when she finally left… But Bill is great! She’s as funny as Donna with this childish and innocent feeling to it the 11th doctor had.
Love her so far!

See you soon!
