On my journey to join Actually Playing Games \o/ Part 2...

From :

To :

I’m still not satisfied enough to apply yet, because I didn’t beat the 2 objectives I have set myself. I thought August would be plenty motivation, and it did, but not for the “good” games…
Each time I wanted to launch Shadow of Mordor, I wanted to yawn. The game is really repetitive… But it was a big win back then and I feel like I have to play it.
I didn’t touch Mad Max yet because I wanted to finish SoM first, since I don’t like to have 2 big games at the same time, and I was further in the other one.

But good news too !

This War of Mine (SG Win of this month!): Cool game ! Well I felt so bad sometimes, so not cool in the “fun” sens, but let’s say I enjoyed having some time on it. I think I got lucky overall, there so many time where I could have been so screwed, but nice neighborhoods came or I did a nice trade during the night, few. Also, winter and mayhem events came late.
Batman (SG Win): Well… First, the game is kind of bugged. I crashed in the 5 first sec of ep 1. For a moment I thought I wouldn’t be able to play at all, but no, relaunching did the job. Lots of stutters, wrong translation, subtitles desync or don’t appear at all, appears in VO… It’s not a good game on lots of technical points. But the story ! I’m not a huge fan of Batman I’m a Marvel’s girl ^^” but it liked it. There has been a week between ep1 and ep2 but I got really hooked in chap 2, and did the rest in 2 days because I wanted to know.
Mini Metro (SG Win of this month!): A game I wanted since it was out ! I love puzzle game, and this one didn’t disappoint. I was downloading it the moment it was activated on my account. Half of the game is really easy, and then the challenge come ! Some metro have a specificity, with the geography of the place, or the type of bonus you can have (like a Shinkansen wagon in Tokyo).
Lego The Hobbit (SG Win): Meh. I would have like to appreciate it more, but I couldn’t. I did other LEGO games that I really liked, but I didn’t feel it this time. Is it because of the game, or because I played too much LEGO ? I don’t know. You play a lot of characters - but most of them are dwarves, and are very similar. I kind of rushed the story and didn’t do the optional quest. Maybe I’ll try to complete it later ? I don’t know how to feel about this game.
The Journey Down 1+2 Bundle (SG Win): First one was boring. Basically you do nothing. No joke : 2h of finding missing pieces to fix a plane to go somewhere else. I really hesitated on doing the second one. I saw on How Long To Beat that it was longer, so I gave a shot. It is becoming more and more interesting in this one, you feel the story is unraveling. But the best of the series seems to be in the 3rd game, since you arrived at destination at the end of the 2nd one… I’ll recommend it, but don’t make it a priority in your list.

Stardew Valley: It was a while I didn’t play, and I stopped at the end of Autumn year 2. I decided to relaunch it since the game “end” when you finish Year 2 and Granda judge you ! Thank you for giving me 4/4 Grandpa \o/. I really liked it, the Harvest Moon on PC I always dreamed about.
The Witness: I already did most of the game during the year, but I nailed it this month. I could have finish the game because it doesn’t require to go through all zones, but I was missing only 2/12. This month I did them and could appreciate that fucking annoying ending. You literally see everything you did disappear one after another while you fly over the island. Checked some explanation online, some says the game show you that “History won’t remind you if there is no one to witness yours actions”, and now I understand why this game is called The Witness, and you know what game ? Fuck you.
Fallout 3: Finished the main story, did 3/4 of the DLC, but I don’t really find them good. I might play again a bit more, but in my head it’s over. I really liked it. People scream because “it’s not a real fallout !” Well, I did the first one, and it was a cool game, true. But I liked that one too. I maxed the discussion skill, and it was really funny. Of course I died a lot because I sucked in battles, but I also solved quests in nice ways sometimes.
Pony Island: Nice indie. The concept was entertaining. I died quite a bit on some levels, but eventually I managed to finish it. I’ll put some song from this game on my phone !

No plan, because I don’t respect them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
