Batman: Arkham Knight
113 of 113 achievements (100%)
Tbh, I was gonna ignore monthly theme again and play Arkham Knight which I bought during winter sale but accidentally it fitted.
First thing to mention is bad optimisation of this game. Rocksteady still didn't fix this Batman. Instead they just created new DLC like skins for Harley Quinn and Robin. If you have troubles with this game try to read some guides for optimisation like this one. It really helped me.
About game itself: it's kinda like GTA with Batman as protagonist. You have relatively small city, only one but very useful car/tank and many side quests. Combat system is still good but overcomlicated and sometimes it just pissed me off. For example, RMB can do many thing and often not what you want right now: instead of using some gadget Batman just made silent takedown, caused alert and I found myself among hot guns hungry to me. I miss Batman Arkham Asylum when it was simple and convinient.
But main pro of game is its plot. It's interesting, complicated and full of twists. That's why I bought this game in a first place.
Also I don't know should I try to complete Arkham City or not. Game has one of the shittiest cheevo I've ever met, but for now I at least know combat system good enough.

It's just simple top-down scrolling shooter. It's short, primitive, easy to complete and get '-1' in backlog. Nothing special.
A Bird Story

It's bo-o-oring. Story is kinda cute, but narration is very slow and boring. At least game is short. If To The Moon is the same tedious game than I wonder why everybody likes it. Well, maybe I'll play it later. Much later.
Some other stuff
I have Portal 2 and I've never played multiplayer, so if anyone wants help with 'Professor Portal' cheevo - feel free to ask. I remind you description of it: 'After completing co-op, complete Calibration Course online with a friend who hasn’t played before'. Also I would like to play it in co-op and get cheevos too, but I'm kinda dumb and I don't know english so it would be complicated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I would like to play Borderlands 2 but RU-version on ultimate difficulty. I'm 55-lvl Zero, so feel free to add me for that. Obviously only guys from RU+CIS can have that version.
To the Moon is much more fleshed out and beautiful then the Bird Story. As far as I know, most people find the Bird Story pretty boring in comparison.
Also I don’t have Portal 2 on PC but you’ll have a blast playing multiplayer. It’s so fun.
Tbh, I don’t have anyone to play Portal with, that’s why I’m asking. And ‘To the Moon’ is in my backlog way too long.
I haven’t played Arkham Knight yet (I bought it on an impulse at the end of 2016 but then I started having connections issues and couldn’t download the massive game), but Arkham City (and Asylum, and Origins) were really great. I don’t have 100% cheevos on them tho (and won’t go for it) because some of them are for the multiplayer part, which i don’t care about.
Laughed so hard at the legend of your picture ;)
Arkham City doesn’t require multiplayer but it has cheevos like ‘Perfect Freeflow 2.0’ - Perform a perfect combo including all of Batman’s combat moves (any play mode)
Haha! I laughed out loud at that bug. It looks so derpy, I love it! And woah, 100% on Arkham Knight? Way to go!
And as for your opinion on To The Moon and A Bird Story, I’m just going to ignore it because it makes me sad. (:
I’ve never played ‘To the Moon’, I’m just assuming according my opinion about Bird Story.
Oh no now there’s something you shouldn’t do.
OK, so they’re made by the same dude. So is Stanley Parable and Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist. Which I just played. Like, 20 minutes ago. The first is a league of its own, the second is… unremarkable. So that’s something to think about.
Huge fans of To The Moon didn’t really like A Bird Story. So yeah, not a good idea to start with the latter! Experiment To The Moon and let us know what you think. If you really don’t like it, then it’s just not for you and that’s perfectly fine. But at least let’s measure it by the masterpiece!
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist looks like Stanley Parable Demo. In first one you are looking for actual game, in second - actual demo. They are really familiar. And both free.
