100 BLACKLIST CHALLENGE REPORT #2 - FOLLOWING ADVICE

Good day, friends!

In my list post, I asked for your advice regarding the backlog games I know little about, and I chose 5 of them from your comments as the new aditions to my inmediate to play list. Thank you very much to all for your advice and input. These are the 5, in no particular order:

Sunless Sea
Train Valley 2
Shadowrun Returns
Rebel Galaxy
Faeria - I don’t know if it’s possible to finish this one, but I will give it a fair trial

Now, for the games I finished since last time. I am still playing AC Odyssey, which is taking most of my playing time since December, so most of these games are quite short.

Half-Life 2

Dark Strokes: The Legend of the Snow Kingdom Collector’s Edition

This is a fairly decent HOG game, but nothing special. If you are very into this genre it might be interesting, but there are much better games out there. To my knowledge is the last HOG I had, so time to play other things.

RECOMMENDED TO PLAY: YES
RECOMMENDED TO BUY: ONLY IN BUNDLES, THERE ARE MUCH BETTER GAMES IN THIS GENRE

Half-Life 2
**BLACKLISTER #41**

Tacoma

What a fantastic small gem! This is a short "walking simulator" game with a quite compelling story and original gameplay that made the game interesting. I will not spoil anything, but I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys this type of story driven games.

RECOMMENDED TO PLAY: YES
RECOMMENDED TO BUY: YES

Half-Life 2
**EXTRA GAME 101**

The Supper

This is how you make classic adventure games. Nice art, dark short story and a really nostalgic aura around it. For the grand prize of free, I'd recommend to try this 20 minute long adventure. I'll definitely keep an eye on this developer.

RECOMMENDED TO PLAY: YES
RECOMMENDED TO BUY: THIS GAME IS FREE ON STEAM

Half-Life 2

As some fellow assassin adviced me, this game is no longer playable, since the servers were taken down. A pity that I could not try it, i'm deleting it from the challenge.

RECOMMENDED TO PLAY: CANNOT BE PLAYED
RECOMMENDED TO BUY: CANNOT BUY

This game is hard. VERY hard, at least for the small team that was playing together. Gameplay is quite decent, and it seems to be kind of a "souls-like", but with guns. Atmosphere was good, story was spare but intriguing, but we could not finish the game. Difficulty was very high and my companions and I decided it was too much for us and uninstalled.

RECOMMENDED TO PLAY: IF YOU ENJOY A CHALLENGE MAYBE
RECOMMENDED TO BUY: NO

Good luck on your games, I dont think I could do the same as you I dont even know what AAA games I have, I barely even know what is AAA. I am sorting out my games into batches to hopefully bring on some randomness

Elvidur

Honestly I also don’t know in detail, and there will be some mistakes between the categories, which I don’t mind at all :). I wish you luck with your batches, you could even use a random number generator or ask the nice people here for advice as I did.

Cece09

Yeah I’ve tried that before but doing it with numbers felt random in a bad way, like how it would be so close together, never the last and 1st games. Hopefully in batches it could be a nice mix to pick from so I don’t just go for super short or groan at the idea of a big series

Vito

Solid choice of games you’re planning on playing next.

Tacoma was an interesting game indeed, I fully agree.

I’m looking forward to see you games crossed out in the neat checkboard over the course of 2021 :)

Elvidur

Thanks for the support! This grid is ugly and provisional, I made a better one in an hour today that I will post next time :). I hope I will enjoy these community picks for my next games! Everyone was very nice giving my the advice

Vito

I’m looking forward to the next version, although I liked this one well enough too. Hope the community picks will work for you!

EvilBlackSheep

Great final choices!! I love to see the progress on your grid, it’s so satisfying! I’m glad you liked Tacoma, I remember playing it 2 years ago and loving it, while I was not expecting much out of it at first. Also, The supper <3 I love Octavi Navarro’s art style and I now have my eye on his other games.

Elvidur

I just checked and wishlisted his other games :)
