Small / quick ๐ฏ% games without
. All PS4 - digital (pruchased on sale of course! ๐).
The Park (-2h): At first I thought I'd play something similar to Slender, but actually this is more a walking simulator like Dear Esther or Datura. Only the final part is insane, when you discover the truth.
The Coma Recut: This is what looked the most like a game within those. You're looking for horror? You're at the right place. If you enjoyed Silent Hill, you'll enjoy The Coma I think. You're alone in your school (but in twisted / alternate reality) and have to survive a killer that looks like your teacher. When I talked about Silent Hill, I was thinking about the fact that your character is weak, you can't attack your main opponent. It's run / escape (limited stamina / endurance) or die, slasher style. The game can become really annoying at times for that reason, because even when you reload your last save, there are high odds the killer will spawn where you need to go and ๐ several times in the process. So yes, I happened to yell (again) in front of my TVย ๐ค. While doing quick research on this to make sure it was a ๐ฐ๐ท game I found a (maybe direct) sequel https://www.devespressogames.com/the-coma-2 would come next year? Count me in!
Detentionย ่ฟๆ ก (-3h): At first I expected another asian horror game (there's a reason I played it after the other two), but this one has clearly two parts, when the first one could effectively be (simple) horror with a few enemies and Taiwanese folklore. The second part is more like an adventure (point & click?) where you get clues to understand what happened in the past of the main character.
SpoilerIt's something about historical political repression in Taiwan.
It's really a shame their second game called Devotion will probably never be released because the devs made a grave mistake when they submitted it on Steam.
SpoilerYou don't mess with ๐จ๐ณ, everyone knows that.
Soldats Inconnus: Mรฉmoires de la grande guerre: aka Valiant Hearts: The Great War for non ๐ซ๐ท. A lot of people here should have cleared this one because it was a free PS+ game some years ago I heard. I enjoyed the story a lot, nicely written and the weird dub where characters seem to talk in their beard + a consequent amount of the game takes place at my home (Marne, not far from ๐ง๐ช) so of course this one talked to me. You can also learn bits of History with quick facts you can read here and there. I enjoyed the story and the crossed destiny of the characters, also this game has obviously the best ๐ you can ever find! The only annoying part was the collectibles hunt (total 100, I needed a video to get only 2 of them) because it breaks the rhythm of your journey. Finally this game reminds an important message: war / killing soldiers is not something cool. Wars happen because something is wrong somewhere in the world. I also recently purchased 11 - 11 that is also about WWI.

Before finally beginning Nights of Azure 2 I'll play Mark of the Wolves because I happened to learn this legend (last Fatal Fury game) had its 2๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ๐ a few weeks ago and no
either.

Congrats on getting 100% on these games! ๐

Nice collection of thoughts on them. Can't say I know much about them since this is my first time hearing about almost all of them. I think only The Coma Recut is one I've seen a couple of videos on YouTube and that's it. The game looks okay, although the horror genre and I don't have the best kind of relationship.

Very important message right there. Got to appreciate games that make us ponder this sort of thing. ๐

#95: RWBY: Grimm Eclipse (PS4 - digital)
ย
๐ฝ Full post ๐ฝ
Bonus for people reading here: Started this game with my friend @LordIchikyo, we played the campaign the whole afternoon. Then, I guess he got bored then, problems (again) with his Internet provider and I'm not even sure when he'll get a decent network again soon. ๐ฉ
And thanks @Fabu_Fabi @Thermopyle2 for the session we had on Sunday ๐
ย
Because I never do this, I have to confess that I purchased a dynamic theme and a set of costumes because I'm a fanboy. Theme preview

Spoilerย
Icy_Tenten was my true MVP with this game, as we managed to get the difficult Horde trophies together. I couldn't achieve this
without him. Hope we'll play again together later on another game.
ย
Villain line original dub: Let's end this with a bang!
ย
And watch RWBY FFS!
Next: Nights of Azure 2.

#94: South Park: Stick of Truth (PS4 - digital)
ย
Already played this one on PS3 +4 years ago, so I knew what I was doing most of the time. I had a little surprise with the trophy where you have to fart to stop enemies concentrating to cast a super move / powerful magic.
Hopefully, I had a manual save just before the gnome part separating day 2 from day 3 to prevent me to speedrun the game up to this part. And grinding Kenny's deaths was also pretty annoying because your character can also die as well... ๐
ย
The game is still as good as I remembered, took me only ~18 hours this time because I made the whole annoying things in a single playthrough, unlike on PS3 where I enjoyed the story then found later there were some damn missable collectibles (+25h, something like that).
Yeah, there is an important number of collectibles to grab in this game (120 fb friends, 30 chinpokomons and the whole weapons + armors/accessories set).
ย
One last thing, because, there were some cuts / censored parts in ๐ช๐บ, but I don't mind as I imported the disc from the US back then I played it on PS3.
I hope the second game will be as good!
