#33 - Coffee Talk.
I enjoyed this game, and I’d recommend it if you need a light game to play. It’s not exactly your average VN, and the ending provides an unexpected twist that adds some mystery. The captivating fantasy world of Coffee Talk with its fantastic OST and stunning art style drowned out the outside world enough to make me feel tucked away in this warm coffee shop with the characters. A nice, much-needed escape from reality.
I also spent more time than what I'm willing to admit in trying to create some NSFW latte art...
Next game up is BioShock 2! I've heard it's not as good as 1, but I wanna see for myself.

Thanks a bunch to both of you!
@Last-_-Judgment It's always a good idea to play something short and sweet to freshen things up a bit!

#32 - Dead Island: Definitive Edition.
I’m normally jumpy with zombies so I avoid zombie games, but turns out, this game is laughably bad. But hey, I managed to squeeze a plat in between all my uni work!
I really wanted to like Dead Island, but it aged badly (although that implies this was good at release… which I highly doubt). The nonsensical story and lackluster gameplay made for a not-so-good experience that not even co-op with @Fox could have redeemed it.
Verdict: If you’re looking for a good zombie-whacking game, keep looking. This ain’t it.

Congratulations gurl! Shame you wasn't a fan but the voice acting was hilariously bad I must admit 😂 No doubt it's not an amazing game though, there was so many things they could have done to make it better but didn't. They had to make a patch immediately because how broken it was on release. I do hope that Dead Island 2 miraculously gets made after they released the trailer for it in 2014. It really is one of those franchise that never had too much luck in development lol.

Thank you all!
@Last-_-Judgment Wait... you're telling me Dead Island 2 hasn't even released yet? My god, I thought it was. Almost feels like Dead Island 1 was so bad that the universe is doing everything in its power to prevent Dead Island 2 from being put out there.

@Mayellie Ya never know with these things haha. Funny thing is Dying Light (same devs) also has had the exact same thing happen lmao. We seen a bunch of gameplay videos of a sequel and then it went into hiding 😂 Though I think Dying Light 2 will still appear before Dead Island 2. Dead Island 2 is a lost cause which is a shame because the trailer was amazing 😁
I'm honestly amazed that Techland hasn't gone into liquidation.

#31 - Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
My first TR proved to be super fun! Adventure and action? Check. Really great tombs and puzzles? Double Check. Mysterious ancient island for ancient history nerds like me? TRIPLE CHECK!
I played this for the first time in 2018 and had ZERO plans to plat it due to the loooong MP grind. However, my very kind friend @Fox offered to lend me a paw, so we could use a faster 2 player grind method. While it was still long, it was much better than what I'm imagining the solo grind to be. So special thank you to him! Literally would not have this plat otherwise.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first TR game. I was really interested in the mystery behind this long lost Kingdom of Yamatai, and the mythology behind it. While the Uncharted games are a bit more fast paced, I definitely see where they draw inspiration from. TR is an iconic franchise, and I look forward to trying Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Plus, it made me happy to play as a female protagonist!

Congratulations! 😊 Such a great game and I completely agree, I think TR is a nudge over Rise. Rise felt to me like an expansion of the first game. I think it's an excellent direction they took with the franchise as it felt new and refreshing despite taking some ideas from Naughty Dog. Glad you enjoyed it 😁

@Last-_-Judgment Thank you! I can't say I even remember what happens in Rise... the gameplay and direction were great, but the story to me was literally forgettable. 😂 Here's hoping Shadow is more exciting!
