Horrible, Terrible Thing
I hate this game.

Luxor HD
64 hours playtime
no achievements
Luxor HD is a marble shooter/match 3 style game where you must destroy a line of orbs before it reaches your pyramid. If you fail, you lose a life, and must restart the stage.
Seeing as I had won this game on SteamGifts, and that it has been praised for being rather relaxing, I thought I would give it a shot. But wow is it tedious and frustrating. The game’s campaign is so overly long, and really not very fun after a while. (5 hours in and I was sick of it, took nearly 10x that long to get the last achievement!) Mind you, this game’s achievements are purely in-game, but that didn’t stop me from needing that 100% to be satisfied. The achievements consist of beat X difficulty or perform X action/combo/accuracy requirement. Simple enough, but the final achievement requires reaching the game’s highest rank - Pharaoh of the Two Lands, a 280,000,000 point requirement! This took AGES, and was not worth the time whatsoever. But, it’s done, thankfully.
Now that that’s finally over, sadly the struggle doesn’t end there. The preparations I recently made for a Skyrim: Special Edition 20,000 achievement / 250 hundo sync were not worth the trouble. Two games I’ve previously completed removed a total of 17 achievements from their games, and now the completion of Skyrim will not do what I intended, unforunately. Stupid that I spent the time to make it happen, but what can you do?
See you next time.
Funny story but luxar was one of my mums favorite games for years and years.
she’s gone through phases and when she plays a game she doesn’t play anything but that game.
(at one point she spent 1-2 years playing nothing but plants vs zombies…100%ing it then playing endless modes unstill she got to wave 80+)
but yeah the game’s kinda tedius
also kinda curious but if you spent so much time getting the ingame achivements why mark it as beaten and not complete?
I can’t imagine playing games like that for so much time ;__;
And about marking it Beaten over Completed, I actually explain this in my profile description ^^
“I don’t mark non-achievement games as completed, and will only do so if I’ve achieved 100% completion.”
My main focus when it comes to playing the games I own is tackling achievement games, so I feel it muddy’s my actual goal to mark a non-achievement game as such.
