It’s been a while since I updated here. These are some of the games I’ve played/beaten over the past few months. As you can see, a few of them took up quite a bit of time. I’ve had a lot going on with real life since I was last here, so there was a time that I wasn’t playing any games at all. But, thankfully, everything is as good as it can be at the moment. =)

I hope everyone here has been keeping well throughout all of this lockdown madness. Stay safe out there. <3

Hexcells
It’s a fun little mindsweeper-like puzzle game with a twist. Each “world” has a different twist on the puzzle. I very much enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone who enjoys short puzzle games. I would have gotten all of the achievements for this game, but for some reason, they will not activate on my mac. (Some got it to work according to the game’s discussion forum, I didn’t.) I took a screenshot on Steam instead.

Mahjong Huntress
There isn’t a whole lot to see about this one, except that it’s Mahjong. I like playing games like this in between bigger things. The story is a wee bit nonsensical, but the puzzles are fun. The game is somewhat buggy at times though, but still managed to complete it.

Faerie Solitaire Remastered
Won on Steamgifts with original game. I completed the original game a long time ago. They had since released the mac version of “remastered” so I finally got to play it. Nonsensical story, but I love solitaire games. They’re so relaxing. :D

Lines X
This game made me angry because it’s not really a game, imho. It was way too easy and the achievements are spam. There should be only one solution for each puzzzle, but there are several. If anyone is thinking of buying this game for their children, don’t. Some of the achievements have extremely rude words on them, which there was no need for. I completed it for completion sake, but if I had known that this was a fake achievement spam game, I wouldn’t have bought it. The only thing it has going for it is that it looks nice, but they probably use some online assets.

Dots Extreme
Dots Extreme has the same premise as Lines X, but it’s an excellent game. Each puzzle has one solution. The game isn’t as pretty as Lines X, but it functions the way it should, with no spammy achievements. I recommend this one if you’re looking for a real game in this genre.

Delete
Another little puzzle game, which is basically Minesweeper in 3D. I loved it.

Faerie Solitaire Harvest

Sudoku Universe
Just a plain Sudoku game for wasting time. XD

Monster Loves You
I won this one on Steamgifts. It’s fun for the first couple of play-throughs, BUT… It requires you to play it over and over with different endings to get all of the achievements. I got bored after a while. Maybe I’ll return to it at some point when it feels like playing a fresh game again. I do like to get most of the achievements if I can. ^^

Battle Chasers: Nightwar
I LOVED this game. It is a turn-based JRPG and Dungeon Crawler. It reminds me very much of a cross between something like Final Fantasy X and Torchlight. Sure, it’s a wee bit grindy like most JRPG type games, but once you progress above the level of the monsters in an area, you can run on past without fighting any of them. You can choose to fight them if you require items for making potions. The art styles used in this game are beautiful as well. Now I have the option to play a new+ game with a higher level of difficulty. I may do that next time around. I have a couple of similar games to play first. I will say one thing though… the final boss is a tough cookie to beat. lol.

FoxyLand
Won this on Steamgifts, and what can I say. #Holybugsbatman. I’ve shelved it for now. Will try to come back to it at a later time. lol.

I tried to run Cities: Skylines the other day, but meh. I will need a more powerful machine to run that. It’s extremely resource heavy. That one will have to stay on my backlog for now.
