Let’s see, since my previous post, at least according to my notes, as for games, I finished Shantae 2 (GOG ver.), both Metal Slug 2 and X (also GOG ver.) and everything I was missing from Quest of Dungeons (Itchio ver.) as I previously thought I had completed everything from Quest of Dungeons when actually finished just the first adventure of the game. Also finished some VN from Itchio, but still not sure if VNs count as games.

But everything combined, that’s 5 titles finished since February 6, or 1 game every 10 days, meaning I’m falling short on the games completed per day ratio. =/

At least things are getting a bit calmer now from my side, so I should be able to finish more stuff, as I’m already doing, with all those 5 titles having been finished in the past month, and from those, 4 were finished in the past 10 days. \o/

Maybe I should keep track of the number of completed stuff from my backlog, now that I think about it…

Well, so starting from my post about JackQuest from Jan 26, that makes 2 games (JackQuest and some small, non-Steam RPG I found), 1 comic and 1 book in the past 11 days, or about 1 title every 2.75 days. Gotta pump up those numbers!

Finished JackQuest!

Play Store version played, and it was a short but pretty fun game.

Touch controls made it a tad awkward at some points, but nothing unbearable.

Edit - two tips:
In the final boss of the first chapter, the spawn portals are always in the same places, and the boss never drops stalactites on top of the pink crystal to the left, so you can drag the boulder that falls after a while immediately to the left of the left portal, stand on top of the pink crystal and slowly chip the boss’ health away with the bow and arrow while being impervious to damage.
And to start chapter 2, choose to start a new game in the main menu and choose the option to the right. The save for chapter 1 won’t be erased!

I finished the flash game Phoenotopia today, and it was an interesting experience.

First, it doesn’t feel like a flash game at all. It took me over 15 hours to complete it with all non-consumable items, and it has plenty of dialogues.
The exploration feels rewarding and most fights feel manageable (specially if you have enough max hp and healing items).

There are two parts that have a high difficulty spike, though (major spoiler warning):

1) The entrance to Daea’s second tower, with its agility puzzle about dodging arrows from all directions while climbing two ladders

2) The segment after the final checkpoint, with how chaotic the final boss is and how fast the chaser is (btw, check your inventory after the final fight, as it seems the game gives you a honey item; it should help a bunch)

But, all in all, Phoenotopia is a game I’d recommend, just mind the difficulty.
And I’ll probable play at some point the remake that released a few days ago.

I just finished Minoria through GOG, and it was an interesting experience.

First, if has far more plot than any of the previous titles made by rdein. I found it decent enough. Saying anything else would be a spoiler.

And its difficulty can be pretty brutal.
I think I saw someone in a thread comparing it to Blasphemous (another game I plan on playing some day). So that’s what a metroidvania with souls-like elements feels like, huh.
Luckily, after a while, I found out about a grinding spot that allows powerlevelling. It sure did help lowering my rate of deaths (although I still got killed a few times when I lowered my guard 😅)

The game didn’t have many musics that stood out, but they worked for me for setting the mood. And the overall graphics seemed pretty good, while the character models seemed like a polished version of a game I played in the 3DS (which isn’t bad, but it stood out to me in the beginning).

All in all, I think I got my money’s worth out of this game.

It’s been a while since I completed a not so short game in less than a day, but here I am, having completed Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight just a few hours ago.

It was harder than the previous two games, that’s for sure. But it was still as enjoyable.

I just finished Momodora III, and I finished the previous two Momodoras yesterday.

They were rather enjoyable, although the first one could be a bit rage inducing at certain times.
And since there’s no penalty for playing on casual at all times, getting all achievements wasn’t much of a grind.

Now, I’ll be playing Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight, and, after that, Minoria.

Just completed Mary Skelter 2/Mary Skelter Nightmares for the Nintendo Switch yesterday after ~1.5 months playing straight. Roughly 75 hours of play time total for each.
They were interesting. Hoping it comes to PC before the third/last game gets released.
