It’s been more then a year since my last post, i always wanted to post something but procrastinator in me had better things to do :D And then day or two ago i saw some nice stats of mine and though to share them ^_^

Unfortunatly i don’t have old stats to compare, but i have been playing some games over the year. Even entered “challenge me” two times, one time i did good and the other was failure :D I guess i could probably ramble about all the games i played, but that would make huge wall of text and i am too lazy to format it, so i will just c/p list of the played games :D If you are interested in my opinion about any of the games feel free to ask about them :)

April, May and start of June :)

Not in the mood to format post any more, but oh well :D

Most of time spent on Counter-strike as always, played some AoE2HD and Worms with friends online. Great way to spend time after long day at work :)
One day i was in the mood to play something new and Domina looked like great game for that. And it was, managed to beat it in few days, would have been one night but had to work and i started playing it late. You manage your ludus and train gladiators for one whole year in story mode. Story itself is nothing special and there is a lot of RNG involved but it was fun when you don’t lose your best gladiator :D Graphics is cool, liked sound and music too :) And i would recommend game to others, if they like management games :D Will have to check other achievements too, if they are not too grindy.
Got back a little to Banished after talking about city builder games on one facebook group. This time i disabled all the mods, so i get a chance to get some achievements if i manage too ^_^
I won Cogs on some giveaway site i no longer use and don’t remember which one :D It is part of my ABC list, so that is a plus. It is fun 3D puzzle game with plenty of levels. Some of the levels are straight forward, while some need a lot of thinking. I guess it will take me a while to beat it, let alone finish, but i still enjoy playing it.
Still playing Mini Metro, but less then before. It is simple and great game at same time, still part of HB 1$ tier so i suggest everyone tries it out if they are into this type of games :D
And friend convinced me to try Action Henk, cool racing platformer. Only problem so far is that there is occasional FPS drop and if it happens in the middle of the race you lose it. So i guess i will have to find fix for that :)

On the side note. I know i haven’t been that much active here, but i read all your posts and comments on work launch break. So thanks for sharing ^_^

1 year on BLAEO :)

So yesterday was my BLAEO cakeday and as per SG cakeday rules you need to make some GAs little “thank you” for getting me to play all those games ^_^

And yesterday i beat one great game :D

• Bastion
  

  7 hours playtime

  7 of 24 achievements

First of all i love this game, it is great on so many levels. Great gameplay, great music, great story(only wish it was bit longer). Looking forward to replaying it and playing NG+ too. Too many possible weapon combinations to try and each great on it’s own way. Mostly used machete(switched to pike later) and musket, it was perfect combo for me… Sometimes it took me little longer to kill big enemies but that helped me improve with moving. Need to finish all those “Who Knows Where” levels too, nice way of learning about characters. And i must say i suck at challenges, but will try my luck there too. :)

As for Supergiant’s games i am looking forward to getting and playing both Transistor and Pyre one day and i heard they are even better :D

Some stats

I am too lazy to write some more detailed stats about my progress etc, but i guess this will do :)

My progress back then

SteamGifts wins

My progress now :)

SteamGifts wins

So two more games beaten since last post :) It is going slowly but every game beaten means less left to kill i guess :D On the other hand i noticed i got 1000 games, so that means only 763 unplayed games left ^_^

• Magicka
  

  12 hours playtime

  30 of 88 achievements

• Mini Metro
  

  8 hours playtime

  23 of 42 achievements

Magicka is a great game. I started playing it in 30 January 2013 and it was beaten on 11 February 2018. So little more then 5 years. The main reason i got back to play it was a friend who wanted to play something coop and it looked like it could be fun together. And it was a blast… Humor is great, helping (or not) or killing a teammate is really cool. Many times we killed each other for revenge, but still made it to the end. Since i have all the DLCs we will be getting back to it eventually and we even got magicka 2 on HB tier 1 bundle :D So lets hope it doesn’t take me 5 more years ^_^

Mini Metro This game i bought for my birthday few weeks ago, it has been on my wishlist for ages (one of the rare games i tried pirated version first when it got out) and i am glad i got it. I did beat all the levels and it will take a while to get it to 100% but i guess it will be fun. :) Also i like that i can play it for 5 minutes per game, so great for taking a break :D

It has been 2 months since my last post and i haven’t been that active here lately, some family trouble, new years eve, going on a trip to Switzerland for few days and then started working. But in all that time i played some games, got stuck at some, figured i suck at playing others, but i managed to beat/complete few of them. So lets just mention those that i finished :D

• SQUAKE
  

  21 hours playtime

• Steampunk Syndicate
  

  10 hours playtime

  no achievements

• Bridge Constructor
  

  6 hours playtime

• Day of the Tentacle Remastered

• To the Moon
  

  7 hours playtime

  1 of 1 achievements

SQUAKE (SGwin) is a fun little snake multiplayer game, but if there are no players online you get to play with bots which is also fun. So i have been playing it for some time and finally got it to 100% :D

Steampunk Syndicate (Another SGwin but from Playing Appreciated) is interesting tower defense game. I liked the concept of getting cards to upgrade your towers and units, but if RNG is not on your side you have to grind a lot for them to upgrade. And some of the later levels are really difficult with weak and low level towers. Also to upgrade your cards you need to combine cards of the same level, which is fine concept, but then you need to drag every singe of those cards to upgrade slot. I already forgot if max level was 9 or 10, but whatever the number you needed a lot of clicking to upgrade you cards using lvl 1-3 cards you usually get as a drop… But if there was no grinding it would be a great game :)

Bridge Constructor (Also SGwin from PA) is fun constructor game. I have already completed Bridge Constructor Medieval, so this one is not anything harder but has more content. So it might take a while to get it to 100%, but i have already finished base island :D

Day of the Tentacle Remastered (Also SGwin from PA) I never finished original game back in the day, so winning this felt great. Playing it got some of the memories back, but i forgot way to much of it. So it was fun playing it, humor was great, but i guess there is no way i would go for 100% :D

To the Moon (ABC list) This is one weird game for me. First of all i had graphical problems with it, on full screen there were some weird lines so i had to play it windowed on some pretty small screen. So getting fully into the game was harder for me. Even though i heard this is one of the greatest stories told in game i didn’t feel that way, in my opinion it was a fine story and something nice for a change. Also i didn’t like the ending that much, the way things happened and it felt rushed … but oh well… I liked the songs “For River” and “Everything’s Alright”, so will keep on listening them :)

Second half of Octobar and Novembar :)

This War of Mine

18 of 35 achievements (51%) 18 hours playtime

I had this game for a while, but just got recently to play it.
Well there was an update yesterday with new DLC “Stories - Father’s Promise” and there will be two new stories in 2018, so here is a Season Pass GA for the lovely community. I have read here on BLAEO many posts about this game and plenty of you enjoyed it, so i hope you like Stories as well :)

I really liked the game that i will even buy Season Pass for myself and i have never done that before :D I managed to beat it on 2nd playthough, played several days on 1st one to figure out the game mechanics since i didn’t want to use various guides to spoil the game. Once i figured it out it was easier to play, at the end i had enough food for 30 more days :D It would last even more if i fed them once every two days :D
While i enjoyed gameplay and atmosphere there were some things i didn’t like. Emilia was my 4th survivor that joined later in a game, she was useless, she was injured all the time for no reason at all. When she showed up she was injured, i healed her and tomorrow everything was ok, then the night after even without a raid she was injured again, and again, and again… Wasted too many medical resources on her, but luckily noone else needed them… Also killing some guys that attacked me first without warning made most of my team depressed… I know killing is bad, even in war, but sometimes selfdefense wasn’t enough for my people as a reason, while sometimes it was perfectly fine for them to kill…
Anyway even with those things i didn’t like i will keep playing this game from time to time, there are plenty of unplayed characters left(got 4 out of 12 so far). And even without the new Stories i would be getting back to playing it. And plenty of achievements that i have no idea what are they for, so lets hope they unlock by themself ^_^

Not game related

I know i haven’t been active with posts here lately, but i have been reading yours mostly from my phone(and it is difficult to reply there :D). I hope to change that soon, since there are several games beaten since my last post and they deserve update as well :)
And once again there is a Season Pass GA :D

Two more games of ABC challange done :) Current progress 4/27 :D

LIMBO

12 of 13 achievements (92%) 3 hrs playtime

Great game. Loved playing it. It is great puzzle platformer game with no text, no dialogs and nothing explained what is happening, but with great sound, design and atmosphere. While moving though this black and white world you occasionally collect some eggs, not sure why apart from getting achievements and unlocking secret level, and i found all but one on first playthough. Secret level was cool, relaying on sound only in some occasions was though but interesting. Dying in this game is normal thing, died many times just for fun to see how it would look :D And one thing i am sure about is that i won’t be getting 100% since there is no way to force myself to play this game with less than 5 deaths :)

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)

19 of 19 achievements (100%) 4 hrs playtime

Another interesting puzzle platformer, but … This game is beautiful, design is lovely, story is great, learning about Iñupiat culture and lore is interesting, watching all those insight videos is cool and playing first level is amazing, but unfortunately after that it gets frustrating. Controls can be unresponsive, getting stuck and falling though spirits is a common thing, moving spirits around and flying/swimming is clunky… You control little girl Nuna and her white fox, you switch between them to pass various puzzles and it can be played in co-op. As you are playing as one character AI fallows you as second and while that sometimes works great, a lot of times it doesn’t… AI occasionally misses some basic jumps or is getting stuck. Dying is not fun as in LIMBO, since each time you have to wait for camera to move to other character and show them crying, and you die a lot not by your mistake.

Belated September report :)

Month started great, was playing some cool games, plenty of SG wins for various events :)
6 games for SG’s “play a game you won”, 4 for “Serial killer”, 2 for “Challange Me” and 1 for “ABC list”. Looks like a lot of games, but many overlap ^_^

Sword of Asumi Got challenged by nin to play it for aug/sept event, even challenged her to play it for sept/oct :) Cool VN, even though i am not into that genre. Liked that my decisions mattered in the end, so i was happy with my ending :D Didn’t hunt 100% since i want to replay it some day, to get to other ending without guides :)

Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy Played it for SG’s “Play SG win” and “Serial Killer” events. Interesting HOG game, story was cool but i had problems with resolution so i had to play it in small windowed mode on 22” monitor

Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials Second game in Midnight Mysteries series, won 5 of them so will be playing others as well :D Played it for SG’s “Play SG win” and “Serial Killer” events. It was also cool HOG game, but i liked first one more. I had bug with achievements so i got none, apparently there is some beta version where they work but i found out in the end xD

Always Sometimes Monsters Got challenged by nin to play it for aug/sept event. Cool RPGMaker game, liked the story, funny dialog that made me lough, didn’t like cash grinding that needed to be done. They even announced sequel Sometimes Always Monsters :D

Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena HOG game i wanted to play it for SG’s “Play SG win” and “Serial Killer” events, but encountered a nasty bug at the end of the game. There is a limit of things you can carry and i couldn’t pick item since i had full inventory but the item disappeared, and there was no way to reload save or get that item in any other way :/

Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher’s Stone Another HOG game. Played it for SG’s “Play SG win”. It was interesting and not hard to 100% :)

Death to Spies Played it for SG’s “Play SG win”, “Serial Killer” and “ABC list”. Triple kill ^_^ It is stealth game set in WW2, you play as Russian spy and your job is to complete missions against Germans. There are various types of missions, like infiltrating military base and prison camp, freeing some prisoners, destroying the bridge(hated that mission), dressing up as scientist and playing as civilian in hotel and embassy. All in all fun game, won sequel on SG as well so looking forward to playing it :)

Hexcells Infinite and The Silent Age were mentioned in my last post…

So while playing all these games i barely touched Counter-Strike which was good change :). But later i got busy finally finishing my Master Thesis and Counter-Strike was my brainless rest, something i could turn to for short break when needed and played it for 90 hours xD
In the end i got my degree after many years ^_^ and after few days of celebrating i didn’t know what to do so i started with my report :D I guess i should write CV and start looking for a real job sometime soon. :) Still need to finish with all the documents on faculty though, but that won’t be much of a problem i guess.
