Hello, oh boy it was 2 months ago since my last update.
Well let’s start with some personal accomplishments which are to be blamed for not playing games:
I passed all my exams, did relatevly small job in the university and for it I will go at the end of August for 6 days to the beach resort for free, I found internship for the summer in the field of Graphic design.
Basicaly for the passed 2 months I’ve played a single player game for like 3 hours tops and for the passed 1 week I had plenty of free time so I started gaming properly. For 1 week I’ve beaten 3 games which I’m going to cover in this update.
The order in which I beaten/completed them was: Jotun Remember me Inside
I wanted to clear that, because I’m not going to follow this order in this post.
I really want to start with a game from which I have great feelings, because I didn’t had the same feelings for the other two.
Inside:
This game is pure gold, I will not think anything else for this game. This is the second Playdead’s game. The first one is Limbo which also fantastic, but in my opinion this one is better. The sound effects, the visuals, the player model, the level design, the athmospehere EVERYTHING in this game I liked A LOT!!! The fact that there isn’t a single word spoken in the game and I still felt connected to the game, there are very few games which left such inpact on me and Inside is one of them. The secrets are awesome and worth collecting, very well hidden. I’ll be honest and will say I used google 3 times in the game, once for regular puzzle in which I had no clue how to solve and twice for the hidden secrets That corn field tho…. T_T
I will stongly recommend to everyone to try it out!!
Jotun:
When I acquired the game I was on the viking wave, I think I have beaten The Banner saga and that might have pushed me to enter the gib and eventually win it.
The game has some pretty neat visuals, gameplay was meh for me. To put this out sooner the game is quite hard, I found it hard, especially if you try hunting the cheevos. If anyone of you got all cheevos for this game I SALUTE YOU!.
Overall feeling is one big MEH
Remember me:
And for the final, the rotten apple of my update, the most boring, stupid, atrocious game ever. How DONTNOD(creators of Life is Strange) were capable of greating such piece of SIT! I will run out words describing how bad this game is. Please don’t get fooled by that I got all cheevos for it, I didn’t liked at all. Steam is showing 22 hours of which I think 18 were real, because I farmed it for cards long before I start playing it.(No longer farming cards, because it adds a lot of playtime to my Steam acc and I don’t like it). Where to start?? Story? Complete disaster, soooooooo boring and predictable , zero character development, I was not giving a living sit for anyone in this game. Gameplay?? Climbing?? Combat?? All you do in this game is climbing and fighting and the combat is represented in the face of two buttons to smash and quick time events. The most frustrating parts of the game was for me when this guy start talking to you it make your character stop SPRITING and since the game is so boring I was not caring at all what was he saying so you get supper annoyed that it’s going to take extra time finish the game. It’s really stupid…… Let’s talk about the scenery shots, making your character stops AGAIN. Why game, whyyyyy. I even tried reading the collectables at the begining which are giving extra info for the story, they were lame as well, trying to provoke you to care for the world. Why I got all chevos you may ask, it was easy. It just require like two playthroughs. The second one is to get the stuff you’ve missed, I just rushed the s*it out of the second playthrough, listing to music and being in braindead postion. Maybe the ONLY good thing about the game were these “Remix” things you needed to do in the game. They were quite interesting. I really hope you will not even doubt of trying this game, I did my best to put how much I hate this game in this update.
P.S. I added I belive two new custom lists, the first one is a list for the games in which I miss DLC and I can’t try doing 100%(it’s for games I’ve already beaten) and the second list is for games I’ve beaten/completed and are up for BLAEO post. I did the second list because it took me so long to finish 3 games that I forgot the name of first one I’ve beaten, in this case was Jotun, it took me quite some time to figure out which game I’ve beaten in that huge time gap.
I have to say I really enjoyed Remember Me too. I can understand that it’s not for everyone, but at worse the game is still fairly decent. There are many games that are much worse in my personal opinion. I just don’t understand why you hate it this much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I also thought the story was pretty good (not mindblowing, but that nearly never happens in video games).
I’m not going to comment on the story of Remember Me but if you were just button mashing you were playing it completely wrong as its designed around building and executing specific combos. button mashing your way through and then saying the combat is bad is like saying Soul Caliber is bad ‘cos you just mash two buttons.
As you can see I got the cheevo for doing 40 eight times combos so do you think I didn’t understood how the combos were working? I was complaining that it requires only to action to perform a combo a punch and a kick.
I have similar impression about Jotun. Nordic mythology background is nice, but it’s not enough to make good game out of it. Combat is kinda meh, map is mess (At least for me) and boss fights are annoying. I still didn’t beat last boss, I tried few times, failed, moved to more enjoyable games and lost will to beat it to get last achievement in “plot part” of the game.
Yeah it’s pretty hard to beat him normally and of course there is that cheevo to beat him without getting hit T_T (or something like this)
Remember Me: one of my favorite games I’ve ever played on Steam! Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Sorry if my opinion offended you in any way. I’m really glad someone enjoyed the game in a way I wound never enjoy it :)
Nope, not offended. It was a little striking how much you loathed something I enjoyed so much, but like I said, “different strokes for different folks!” :D
