Le intro again

Soo, about 3 days ago I made a cry for help to you guys to give me some suggestions for games to play. Now, in the meantime I’ve beat 4 of them, so I guess it’s about time to make another post! So, here ya go! Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Bioshock (1)

• BioShock Remastered
  

  10 hours playtime

  39 of 65 achievements

Soo, since the remastered version was out, I decided to just go with that, since it has cheevo’s and the original doesn’t. I started a new game, and ended up quite liking the game. It was very good looking and had nice gameplay. Definitely a good recommendation, and I definitely recommend it to others too!

One thing though, I do suggest that if you play it, you play the non-remastered version. I was told beforehand that the remastered version would have bugs, but I did not expect what I ran in to. Everytime I tried to change my powers in the gene-bank I’d crash if I’d stay in that menu for longer than 15 seconds. This has been at least 10 crashes for me. Apart from those crashes I’ve had 2 random crashes while actually not doing anything too. All these crashes together must’ve made me take at least 1 hour longer than it should’ve for me to finish. I suggest saving a lot IF you do decide to play the remastered version :)

I’ve also decided to mark the non-remastered version of Bioshock (1) as beaten. I mean.. It’s not like I’m going back to it, and I’ve seen the entire story. Please tell me if this is not allowed? :3

VVVVVV

• VVVVVV
  

  2 hours playtime

  1 of 19 achievements

Now, this is one I ended up quite liking, even though I did not expect it. It seemed like a very repetetive platformer where you die a lot. I mean, yeah, I did die a lot, but it wasn’t nearly as repetetive as I thought. It ended up not being too much of a grind. I’ve finished it in only 2.1 hours. Ofcourse, this is only beating it. I kind of wanted to give the super gravitron a try, but to get to that you need to go ahead and get all collectibles first, which… Is just not possible for me. Some of them were at such hard to reach places that I just couldn’t (I tried like 30 minutes on one of em).

I am a tad disappointed that I’ve finished the game and only got 1 achievement!
Anyways, another game that I would recommend others to play. Thanks for the suggestion!

Jurassic Park: The Game

(SG win)

• Jurassic Park: The Game
  

  6 hours playtime

  30 of 51 achievements

Now, this game was less than I had expected it to be. When I was joining giveaways of this game I was expecting something more like other telltale games. Like The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us. I was a tad disappointed when I found out it’s kind of just like a movie where you can sometimes do quicktime events and choose what the people say (which as far as I know, barely matters). I think it only matters what you say if you’re going for the achievements, which I didn’t. As I myself am not a big fan of quicktime events, and this was about 60% of the game, this game was not as enjoyable for me as I had hoped.
Not to say, that I did not enjoy the game, because I did. Omg. There were some moments I was literally laughing out loud in front of my computer. The ways people died were sometimes quite comical. It is just a shame there were as many quicktime events as there were and that my choices had so little effect.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion! Another one off the list!

LIMBO

• LIMBO
  

  3 hours playtime

  3 of 13 achievements

A relatively short game with a very nice atmosphere. The entire game is black and white and you’re constantly solving puzzles to proceed in the world. I really liked the looks and the atmosphere of the game. At the beginning of the game the puzzles are quite easy and it keeps getting harder (obviously).
Overall I quite liked the game. The puzzles were challenging, but not too challenging. I’ve never actually been stuck somewhere for over 10 minutes, which is good. I still had to actually think and try stuff to actually finish the puzzles though.

One thing that did get on my nerves was that sometimes, I’d mess up a puzzle RIGHT at the end (sometimes even 2-3 times) and then I’d have to do the entire puzzle from the start again (checkpoint). The checkpoints are, at times, a tad too far back in my opinion.

Finally I would like to say that, yes, I did like the game. Howeeeveeerrrr, the game (even though it only took like 3 hours to complete) started being a big grind to me. In the game, about halfway through, a certain thing happened and I thought I was finally done. The game actually kept going beyond that point though, and from there on it just got worse and worse. It’s not that it was boring, just that it was a grind. I thought I was getting close to the end, so I was expecting the end after about every puzzle I did. Everytime I finished a puzzle and it did not end up being the end, I was let down. This kept going for about half the game, which just made it feel like a huge grind to me.

Overall I did like the game, although I think it would have been better if it had been a lot shorter. The very least they could do is remove that event halfway through the game that made it feel like I was close to the end.
Thanks for the suggestion though! Another one off the list!

Le outro

And again, thanks everyone for the suggestions! I still have quite a few to go! I probably won’t have as much gaming time next week as I hope, so I’m not sure how many I’ll be able to finish, but I’ll definitely try to get a few! Thanks again!
And for the people who are interested, here’s a list of the next few games I’ll be playing in the order I’ll be playing them!
