Wolfenstein: The Old Blood *: - great FPS, had a lot fun with this one.
Tyd wag vir Niemand *: - only for hardcore platformer fans or masochists. It looks nice, music is alright (even very good on some maps) but gameplay is really annoying, furniture level was probably the most frustrating gaming experience I ever had (it took me about 2 hours and 100 tries to beat this level). I would just delete this game from account if it wasn't an SG win.
Tales from the Borderlands *: - there only a few and very easy puzzles, very limited time to select dialogue options and your choices don't have that much impact anyway. But the story, characters and humor make it a great game. I think you do not even have to know other Borderlands games to enjoy it but I guess that the more you know the more enjoyable the game will be (I played through first installment and half of the Pre-Sequel before starting Tales).
Nihilumbra *: - short and pretty easy puzzle platformer. Very enjoyable, and if you finish the story mode you will unlock the void mode that is much harder.
Deponia / Chaos on Deponia *: - okayish point and click. I have a bit mixed feelings about it, some puzzles are fine but some don't have any sense, there is a bit of humor but on the other hand main character can be very annoying.
Borderland: The Pre-Sequel *: - I was a bit worried about playing TPS. I liked the setting, humor and art style of first game but IMHO it was a bit boring. Did not feel like that in TPS so I enjoyed it a lot more and I guess I will now have to add Boderlands 2 to my wishlist :-)
* - SG win

Nice work with Nihilumbra … I don’t think I got any of the void mode achievements, it was way too difficult for me
It varied a lot, some of the levels were easy and straightforward but others were pretty hard in void mode.
Thank you for the warning about Tyd wag vir Niemand. It looks kind of interesting, but it looks like I should have activated it on an alt account where I don’t care about achievements. Nihliumbra looks fun, but…again, those achievements. I wish I didn’t care. :(
Tyd wag vir Niemand looked really interesting but I ended up regretting I won it :-/
I know the feeling, I tried to 100% all games I play but now I’m trying to limit that to achievements that are reasonable and/or to the games I actually enjoy playing.
Nihilumbra is really on the easier side. The Void Mode is a bit annoying since you replay just the same levels again only a bit harder. But I think to remember just one situation in the game which was straightforward unfair. As far as it concerns platformers it is still on the easier side. But take it with the grain that I’m fairly accomadated with platformers and controllers.
I’m somewhere between average to terrible at platformers….so…
Thanks for the reply, though. :)
Thanks for the heads up about Tyd wag vir Niemand - I had it on my wishlist but I’ll just drop it. I don’t like games that are hard for the sake of being hard.
I felt that way about Nihilumbra (but I own it already) so it’s good to hear the majority of the story is fairly straightforward - I see and acknowledge void mode, but I’m just glad it seems to be an extra additional thing.
Tyd wag vir Niemand seemed like a cool game, turned out to be frustration generator :-(
Interesting. Parts of our statistics look fairly similiar. But our gaming taste is definetely differnt :P
I’m a bit behind in completed games, your stats are quite impressive! But you are right about gaming taste, your “recently played” list on Steam looks like my “not interested” list :-D
Good job! It looks like you should mark Nihilumbra as complete instead of beaten? 24/24 :)
Well spotted, I think I made an update after writing the report so it was shown incorrectly. Thanks!
