[EVENT] PSNP Kaleidoscope Challenge! 2023 [ENDED]

[GT__Jedi]

Pink: Unpacking.  I know what you are going to say - Seriously, GT?  Well, I needed a Pink game, and this was part of the PS+ Catalogue, and it was a puzzle game.  Did I mention it was free?  Actually, it was a blast to play, pretty short.  You really don't need a guide or anything; just look at the trophy list and figure out what you need to do.  Now, back to My Time at Portia and Life is Strange....

 

 

Card 1:

 

[Platinum_Vice]

Howdy Rainbow Warriors.

 

Six new entries for me since my last post:

- Red: Foreclosed

- Grey: God of War: Ragnarok

- Light Blue: Horizon: Forbidden West

- Maroon: Inscryption

- Tan: Jurassic World: Evolution 2

- Light Pink: Maquette 

 

Which brings me to a total of 11/16! 

 

 

Feel welcome to click on the above links for GOW:R, H:FW or Inscryption to head over to my review thread where I try to juggle jokes (see below example) with attempts to acknowledge what is good/not good about the games that I play. I like to think that the thread is a good place to get lost during a lunch break or for toilet adventures (for those of you who enter Narnia whenever visiting the pooper). Everyone is welcome in that thread... just be aware that my opinions can sometimes get a little zesty. 

 

 

[Hisuiryu]

Curious to see what I can manage for this with what time is left - count me in!

Just a quick question, would I be able to include games I've completed this year before now to give me a starting point? For context, that's still only a grand total of 3 games, so it's not like I'll be leaping my way to completion lol

Hey there!

 

Yep - better late than never, and any games completed (or DLCs for that matter) this calendar year are eligible 👍

[Hisuiryu]

Awesome, with that in mind, here's my progress so far

 

I played Nier at the beginning of the year, really interesting game - naturally that one's either black or white so it's going black for now!

Sonic mania is very yellow so that's where it goes

For Axiom Verge 2... I wasn't really sure where to put it, I think the blue "2" is what stands out the most so that's where I've put it.

Update 2:

Finished Burly Men At Sea for white, Hardspace: Shipbreaker for yellow, PowerWash Simulator for blue, and Ghostwire: Tokyo for black.

 

Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last update, some irl stuff kept me busy for a couple months but I have another 4 entries completed anyway.

 

First I did Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a simulator game that has you salvaging spaceships. Definitely one of the most fun and unique simulators I've played. I'm glad I noticed other people play this game for yellow, because I might not have come across this hidden gem otherwise.

 

Next I did PowerWash Simulator, a game I've had my eye on for over a year. Once I started playing I didn't want to stop, which doesn't happen that often for me. I even ended up 3rd place for fastest 100% completion for the PS5 version completely by accident. When I noticed this I thought, "I have the PS4 version too, maybe I'll try speed running a platinum just this one time". Got 1st place for fastest 100% completion on PS4 and beat out second place by 39 hours! I'm not gonna make a habit out of speed running double versions, but I had fun doing it for this game.

 

Burly Men At Sea is a short and fun interactive story game. Only took me 2 hours, but I enjoyed my time with the game. The art style is charming and the hub world has a fun little upbeat tune playing. Also loved the fact that the main characters are basically 80% beard.

 

Lastly I played Ghostwire: Tokyo. Normally I'm not much of a horror genre fan, but I think this game strikes a good balance. Most importantly, it doesn't rely on cheap jump scares, it just uses a couple in the exact right places. I love when games explore the folklore of a country/culture, learning about that stuff (especially through video games) is something I enjoy. I still have 2 trophies left for completing the spiders thread dlc which I am really looking forward to.

 

 

 

Completed colours:

Burly Men At Sea for white

Hardspace: Shipbreaker for yellow

Mahjong for tan

Anthem for orange

Puzzletronics: Digital Infinite for purple

PowerWash Simulator for blue

InnerSpace for light blue

Lawn Mowing Simulator for green

Donut County for light green

I Am Dead for grey

Ghostwire: Tokyo for black

My third card is complete, courtesy of last week's Trophy Hunting Day event and the many game completions I'd been saving for it. This is the first post that I've made about this card; I think that, in theory, I could have had it, my fourth, and maybe even my fifth done and dusted when I posted my second, but I'd prefer to take the time to get them presentable and Aesthetic™. As such, I've done probably-too-much organizing and re-organizing, so I'll likely end up doing the same 'post it when it's done' thing for my last two cards as well (unless you take issue with that @DrBloodmoney).

 

Since I'm posting everything at once, I'm gonna do things a little bit differently by ranking them before I vomit words onto the screen:

Spoiler

1. Anodyne 2: Return to Dust
2. Norco
3. Humanity
4. Moss: Book II
5. The Entropy Centre
6. Sephonie
7. Anodyne
8. Chants of Sennaar
9. Even the Ocean
10. Final Fantasy XVI
11. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
12. Trigger Witch
13. Flipping Death
14. Viewfinder
15. Gris
16. Carrion

 

I'll start off by saying that this felt like a pretty strong batch overall, but the top two games, Norco and Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, are a cut above the rest. The former is a point-and-click adventure played fairly straight, while the latter draws inspiration from such diverse sources as Link's Awakening, Psychonauts, and LSD: Dream Emulator, and both tell their stories with some of the most evocative and infectious prose I've seen in games. I think I'd need to replay both back-to-back to feel confident ranking them in either order.

 

On the subject of Anodyne 2, I also played and ranked the other three (console) games in Analgesic's catalog. The first Anodyne is a competent take at surrealist Link's Awakening, but it's very "indie studio's first game, released in 2013." Its main focus is capturing a dreamlike atmosphere and ambiance for its world, so it's unambitious in terms of both story and mechanics (expect a lot of block puzzles). Their second game, Even the Ocean, tries to do more on both fronts with varying success. It's a puzzle-platformer/VN hybrid, tied together with an old-school Final Fantasy overworld, and while I think its gameplay succeeds - its take on player health is the most interesting I've ever seen - its story is meandering and its writing clumsy. I do want to call out that its platinum % is in the high 90s because of a trophy exploit that allows you to skip playing literally any of the game; played naturally, it's like 6-8 hours long, and enjoyable enough that I'd still recommend it.

 

Analgesic's latest game, Sephonie, is one that I had a difficult time ranking; I honestly didn't expect to rank it as highly as I did, but that's how things shook out. It's a pretty unique 3D platformer that describes itself as "Tony Hawk-esque" with tetronimo-based puzzle interludes, and while not all of its mechanics clicked with me, I can at least say with confidence that I've never played anything else quite like it. Its writing is about on par with Anodyne 2 - that is to say, "very good" - but it's kneecapped in a major way in the console port by a problem that I whined about at length in the TARDIS Event thread. The TL;DR is that the story is in large part about the three protagonists' shared Taiwanese heritage and the ways in which (and differences in how) they engage with it, but the console port censors every mention of the word "Taiwan," which is... kind of a gigantic problem when that's what your game is about. That question of whether I'm ranking the game or the port is I think why I had as much trouble as I did with figuring out where to put this thing.

 

Chants of Sennaar is a strong language-based puzzle game that was, unfortunately for me, let down quite a bit by my having played Heaven's Vault earlier in the year. The two games are actually surprisingly dissimilar once you get into them, but the surface-level comparison is pretty much unavoidable. "If I had a nickel for every Middle Eastern-inspired sci-fi language puzzle game I've played this year," and so on. The mechanical and structural differences are too vast for me to cover, but the most important point for me is that, while Heaven's Vault felt like an authentic attempt to piece together a long-dead language from whatever scraps have survived, Chants of Sennaar feels like using funny hieroglyphs to solve video game puzzles. They're good deductive puzzles, to be clear - Chants of Sennaar is a good game - but I definitely went into it hoping to recapture some of what I loved about Heaven's Vault, and that not happening was a bit of a letdown.

 

I really enjoy first-person puzzle games, so I was looking forward to Viewfinder, but I found it quite disappointing. More than any other game in the genre that I've played, it felt so terrified of presenting the player with a challenge that it squandered the potential of its core photography mechanic. I don't think it's a coincidence that level 4.1 of chapter 4 was both the only level in the game that stumped me for more than a minute and the only level in the game that asked me to actually think carefully about the way I was framing my shot. To be absolutely clear, I'm not asking for Stephen's Sausage Roll or Baba is You; I ranked Flipping Death as low as I did because of the difficulty I had in reconciling that game's moon logic with my own. I'm not any kind of puzzle-solving turbo-savant with a nuclear-powered brain, it's just terribly unsatisfying to be faced with puzzle after puzzle that ask the barest minimum. I also quite disliked the story, or at least the first half before I stopped listening to the dialogue; I felt like it only flirted with coherence while having seemingly no connection, explicit or thematic, to the photography mechanics. I didn't actively dislike the game as a whole, but I would say that the only thing I think it does notably well is look good in trailers.

 

Regarding The Entropy Centre, you can essentially take everything I just said about Viewfinder and pretend it's opposite day. Its core mechanic of reversing time for certain objects is superficially a lot less interesting, but it's taken full advantage of with a perfectly-tuned difficulty curve and a story that relies entirely upon it.

 

Final Fantasy XVI for me was, above all, inconsistent. Its marquee boss fights and major story beats had me captivated, but as became especially apparent in NG+, its interstitial story and side content ranged from boring filler to actively bad. I had a difficult time ranking it as a result. In the end I think I can say my time with it was more positive than mixed, but after two playthroughs for the platinum, it's not a game I see myself wanting to go back to anytime soon.

 

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is yet another game I had trouble ranking. I played the original (non-mod) release a decade ago, and while Ultra Deluxe is stuffed to the gills with new content, it fits in perfectly with what was already there-- that is to say, 2013-era meta humor. That's not a style that's aged particularly well, at least for me, and it felt not entirely unlike revisiting an early 00's comedy to find the punchline to every third joke is 'gay' (in terms of "yeesh," not "yikes," to be clear).

 

Now, this is absolutely the same breed of jaded cynicism that always makes me roll my eyes, but I had a difficult time engaging with Gris on any level deeper than a blithe and derisive "game about how sometimes I feel sad." The art is beautiful, sure, but in just the last couple of months I've played When the Past was Around, Minute of Islands, and hell, even Old Man's Journey, all of which are also lookers, deal with themes of loss and grief in what I found to be more compelling ways, and probably won't make it onto either of my remaining cards.

 

Carrion is rounding out the bottom of the pack for a couple of reasons. The first is that I'm not a fan of tight, linear pacing when it comes to metroidvanias. It always feels to me like an awkward, worst-of-both-worlds middle ground between a genre I generally really love and more traditional level-based platformers (I disliked Gato Roboto, another Devolver-published title, for the same reason). The second (and probably more important) point is that I'm a giant baby, and being a giant monster killing a bunch of dudes just made me feel bad?

 

I don't have much to say about Moss: Book II, other than that it's a direct continuation and strong refinement of its predecessor. Both are as close to 'required reading' as VR has.

 

I also don't have a whole lot to say about Humanity that hasn't already been said. It's a phenomenally ambitious puzzle game that sticks just about every landing it goes for.

 

Trigger Witch is, politely, such an EastAsiaSoft-ass game, to the extent one can be without being shovelware. I think I remember enjoying it well enough, I guess? So little tangible has stuck in my mind that I'm forced to rank it based on vibes alone.

Immortals of Aveum (PS5)

 

Anticipation - 2/5

Because I've felt let down by some of the larger games I've played this year, I wasn't expecting too much from this game despite being very interested in trailers I had seen for the game earlier in the year - the finger guns had caught my attention.....but would it hold it?

 

Enjoyment - 4/5

I really enjoyed this game. I could kinda understand why some players may not have warmed to the main character (maybe a bit bland for a hero? maybe too many one-liners?) but I really enjoyed the main protagonists and indeed the entire cast. I quite liked Jak. I was actually interested in the story and its one of the very few games I didn't look to skip the cut-scenes and I pretty muh always skip all cut-scenes of every game. When they spoke, quite a lot of the time it wasn't just plot, plot, plot, plot, plot and boring exposition but actually (I felt anyway) some real conversations which in turn, made them feel more real (sometimes) as characters and more engaging for me. Devyn was a particular highlight for me. I found it refreshing that characters such as Kirkan were flawed and the supporting cast of characters from Zendara, to Thaddeus to Kenzie were all very watchable too.

You play a magic user, Jak, who has the rare ability to wield all three colour types of magic - each of which is clearly intended to match tried and tested tropes from the traditional FPS - Green being fast firing SMG-like, Red being close and powerful all shotgun-like and blue being a more rangy magic. The fights themselves and the range of spells and upgrades you can obtain keep it interesting but the puzzling side of the game leaves a lot to be desired. In this area it feels lacklustre, maybe even dated with the 'puzzles' rarely ever amounting to more than directing a laser or shooting colour coded switches. Id have to pull the game up on the low stock of baddies too. It isnt too long into the game until you've seen the full scope and range of the enemies the game has to offer and so by the halfway point they do begin to feel like generic cannon fodder.

Technically it isnt too great either (I dont really care too much what frame rate the game is or anything like that, I barely grasp what frame rate even means, but I do understand this is everything to some gamers so if you are one of those types then better steer clear of this title). Im not sure what it is (my friend tells me it may have something to do with what he calls AI image upscaling) but there is a constant 'smudgy' look to the game when you are moving/turning fast. It also doesnt look that great when you unleash your most powerful weapon - a constant beam of magic which the frames again cannot seem to handle and i did indeed find it off-putting to begin with but after an hour or two I begun to no longer notice it.

Ultimately though I had fun playing this game and that isnt always a given and it certainly hasnt been so far for a lot of 2023.

 

Retrospect - 3/5

It probably isnt going to appeal to all players as it did me. I wasnt bothered by the technical lapses at all (it never crashed or actually caused me any real difficulty) and I did really enjoy all of the characters in the game - Immortals kept me engaged and interested right until the last chapter, which for me is a win. However, the 'smudginess' alone will be enough for some players to turn their back and I do accept in some areas such as the puzzling and low enemy stock the game could be described as dated, so looking back in a few years time its unlikely I'll feel as great about the game as I did whilst actually playing it. But if you just want a fun and fairly straightforward platinum trophy, you wont go too far wrong with this title, perhaps just wait for that £60 price tag to fall a bit.

 

 

[Dezorak]

back with another one after a long drought and im suprised that its resident evil 8 considering i hate horror with a passion.... but then again this felt more like an action game then resi 2 that i been forced to play :P..... either way will continue to work on some very long term plats such as monster hunter world and destiny 2 so hopefully can add them soon.

 

(also didnt help that pokemon and runescape caught at attention yet again lol)

Two more done! Escapists 2 for ORANGE and Journey to the Savage Planet for PURPLE. Only 2 left

 

[DrunkenEngineer]

It's been a grip since I've updated, but have two more colors to report.  I believe this promotes me to the Rainbow Appreciator tier!

 

 

BLUE - Alan Wake: Remastered

 

YELLOW - Super Time Force Ultra

 

Now is the perfect time for people on the fence to play Alan Wake: Remastered given it's spooky season, AND the sequel launches at the end of October.

 

And for Super Time Force Ultra, this was a game I just did not vibe when I started it back in June.  It is in fact my longest completion since I started trophy hunting in 2021, at over 3 months.  It's an old enough game that guides and resources are not as robust on the ol' Youtubes, it has a surprisingly deep and complex gameplay loop, and the juvenile 2010's humor just didn't do it for me.  But I plinked away at it between other games, and once I got it, I GOT IT. This is really a fabulous game that rewards the player for just sticking with it.  I felt helpless over my first handful of sessions but got hooked once I figured it out!  Definitely recommend it.

[Dezorak]

popping off with another this time purple (the eyebrows on the middle bunny) in bunny battle... a basic peta game i completed for the cancer event going on in another post so thought 2 birds 1 stone :D.

Well, that's card number one complete...... Which means, I can start a second one and start making stupid comments about one side looking more naked than the other one again..... Or perhaps I shouldn't, erm, we'll see.

 

I kind of figured I'd end up with a fairly eclectic card, and I definitely think this falls under that umbrella. It's been fun though, and I can't help but ask myself the question whenever I see a cover image for a game on the site nowadays - where exactly it would fit in on one of these!

 

Truberbrook ended up being the game I nabbed a brown with, and what a wonderful quirky little point-and-click adventure game this one was.... Absolutely full of charm, character, and an admittedly quite strange atmosphere too. It's unusual, it's funny, it's very well written and it's got an art-style that really is rather unique, yet also almost grotesque at the same time.... In a good way 😂

 

I had expected Greedfall would end up being my brown entry, but I always seem to put off actually playing that, which tells me I ought to you know, do something about that.

 

If you'd like to read some more detailed ramblings about Truberbrook and whether or not you think you'd like it, I'll pate my status update about it into a spoiler bubble, you can of course read it, or not read it.

 

Spoiler

"What an interesting little hidden gem this game turned out to be...

 

You know those games that just immediately appeal to you that you just stumble across whilst browsing through the PS store? That might just be a me thing, who knows. It's usually always obscure  point-and-clickers like this one that tend to catch my eye fairly often.

Oh well - this ended up being one of those kinds of games. It turned out I'd even heard of it before, as an ex girlfriend of mine was really excited about this game at one point, and I think I just scrubbed all memory of it from my mind I guess ....

 

Enough rambling about that, I'd better actually give some thoughts about the game itself.

 

Truberbrook is an interesting little title, when you think of point-and-click games you often think of quirky humour - this game definitely has that, but it does have a tendency to feel a little tacked on in places, and can at times be a little hit and miss on if it is actually funny or not, but it genuinely does have a lot of really funny moments too. 

I feel like maybe, as this was a kickstarter game,  that they felt a certain duty to play within the realms of what people expect from this genre, and that perhaps hamstrung them a little bit.

That is all speculation of course. But I'll explore that idea further in 2028 when I actually catch up to reviewing this in my checklist thread

 

Nevertheless, Truberbrook has an absolutely stunningly unique art-style, with characters that almost look like they should be figures in a diorama, or a model village. To go alongside that the backdrops and scenery that makeup the titular village of Truberbrook are stunning.

 

The puzzle solving is a little on the simpler side with this one, and I think considering how outside of the box the story is, they probably could have leaned into some of the more fantastical sci-fi elements of it, with how you solved some of the puzzles. 

 

One thing I really liked was how similar it feels to pieces of media like Twin Peaks(although only Twin Peaks is really like Twin Peaks, no matter how hard people might try to be) in places, where you have fairly tranquil sounding music in places, but you just can't quite escape the feeling that something isn't quite right.

 

All in all I had a really interesting time with this one, and I'd recommend it to any fellow point-and-click fans out there looking for something unique and different. The story takes a few turns I definitely don't think you'd expect it to from just watching the game trailers available to you."

 

I guess I'll put together what I can throw onto a second card, and maybe post that up tomorrow.

 

As always though, it's great getting some neat little recommendations of games through this event, it's been one of my favourite things about it so far! I'll catch you all in the next one.

Adding one to my Third card, courtesy of To Hell with the Ugly!

 

 

 

An unusual and extremely visually stylish Jazz-noir narrative adventure game from french developer La Poule Noire, To Hell with the Ugly adapts the novel "Et on tuera tous les affreux" by Boris Vian, and sees the player take on the role of Rock Bailey - a good hearted, naive, handsome but shallow young man in 1950's Los Angeles, who after being drugged and abducted by a mysterious cartel - seemingly set on robbing him of his prized virginity -  must work with a crew of his eclectic friends to solve the mystery - both of his own kidnap, of a murder in his local jazz club, and of a spate of disappearances of attractive people across the city!

 

Very stylish, though short, and a bit light on gameplay, but worth a play for the audio, visuals, and bat-shit crazy story alone!

 

 

Truth be told, I equivocated quite a bit whether to put this one for Maroon - It's a game I'd happily accept anyone else using for Maroon, but I do try to be a bit more strict on myself, since I'm the arbitrator!

I actually planned on leaving it to use for a fourth card...

...but when I did, I realised it actually doesn't really fit anywhere except Maroon - so I'm slotting into the empty space on this card... and To Hell with It!

I actually think, looking at it here, it works pretty well.

 

 

Previously Completed Cards:

 

1.       2.  

[cstanci]

FINAL UPDATE - I completed my card with LOST SPHEAR for Light Green. I thoroughly enjoyed this game even though it seems like they stuffed a little too much in there as filler. I love fishing in RPGs but it wasn't needed here. 

 

Not going to attempt a second card - but I had a blast! What a fun event!

[DizzyDavidson]

And I'm back again with another color!

I didn't think it would be this fast but here I am with Rebel Galaxy for Maroon.

 

I've been wanting to play this game since it was a monthly PS+ title but never got around to it. I love sci-fi stuff so obviously this space adventure was going to do it for me. There isn't much to the game, it's just one space battle after another while upgrading your space ship, weapons and such but somehow it sucked me right in and I couldn't put the game down. The story ain't too bad either. There's a sequel that I'm gonna have to check out at some point.

 

[GT__Jedi]

For GREEN I've played My Time at Portia.  Nice little time management game; had fun with it.  You've arrived in Portia and besides interacting with all of the town residents, you are a builder and need to take on jobs, improve your workshop and go on quests.  You also romance a few of the residents, with the main purpose of getting married, divorced and helping one resident realize her dreams.  At around the 50 hour point, I was pretty much ready to just chuck the whole thing and leave.  But, had to get the plat so stuck with it.  This game is more forgiving than Stardew Valley (which I love!) but a well thought out game.  A few minor glitches, nothing that couldn't be fixed.  But, I will not be playing the sequel!

 

 

Card 1:

 

 

[masaru-san]

Another update for me - and I'm now a Rainbow Warrior!

 

Light Blue: Rime

Grey: Rocketbirds 2: Evolution

 

 

I have something planned for Purple....

But if anyone has any recommendations for Tan, Light Green, or Green, I'm all ears! (And it'll help me with Bingo Bonanza too.)

I've been a PS Plus member since the start and have access to PS3, Vita, & PS4 so anything is fair play.

This is it!!  Not as fast as the rest of you, but finished my first card!  Whoo-whoo!

 

For Green, I chose Clouds and Sheep 2 as first, it is leaving the catalogue this month, and second, @GT__Jedi suggested it as a nice afternoon game with some really nice helpful suggestions.  The game was easy and a nice change.  You are building a flock of sheep, feeding them, giving them fun stuff to do to finally work your way through the levels to find the Fountain of Youth.  Well done game, nice graphics and absolutely no glitches.  Enjoy before it leaves!

For Green, I chose Clouds and Sheep 2 as first, it is leaving the catalogue this month, and second, @GT__Jedi suggested it as a nice afternoon game with some really nice helpful suggestions.  The game was easy and a nice change.  You are building a flock of sheep, feeding them, giving them fun stuff to do to finally work your way through the levels to find the Fountain of Youth.  Well done game, nice graphics and absolutely no glitches.  Enjoy before it leaves!

 

Thank you for the kind words, and congrats on the game!  (Especially since I've tricked you into playing some games you rant about 🤣!)
