Spring 2024 Backlog Challenge

[Fanatixa1]

Hey everyone, 

 

Here's my weekly update. I completed Chants of Sennaar this weekend. A very interesting puzzle game, where you translate multiple languages. I enjoyed this quite a lot and it has quite a nice art style. I recommend giving this a try if it interests you.

 

Other then that I've completed the story for Lego Lord of the Rings. I'm replaying the levels now to get all the collectibles. So far replaying the levels is not too bad. The collectibles are easy to find so far and I haven't needed any guides. Will keep playing this on my commute to work and try to complete it soon. 

 

I've restarted The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles this week and I completed episode 1 of the first game. So far I like it and will keep playing it the coming weeks. 

 

Have a great week everyone!

Completed Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition! Awesome experience again, even better thanks to Legendary Dark Knight mode. It was dreamlike fighting against so many enemies at the same time. This time I set myself a challenge: no grinding. Everytime I played a mission, it was only and exclusively to make actual progress toward the platinum and no way I was going to play again any missions to grind red orbs (in-game currency). This meant I could buy only the skills I was 100% sure I was going to use and severely restrict the usage of Dr. Faust, which is an overpowered gun weapon that makes Dante's missions considerably easier to S rank, but that weapon expends a huge amount of red orbs. I consider this my personal definition of playing the game in the proper way and in the end I succeeded in my personal challenge! Overall it went smooth, too. Even more importantly, it was so much fun. Out of the 105 S ranks, only 2 gave me trouble. The first was mission 4 of Hell And Hell difficulty. Very random battles, especially due to the enemies Hell Antenora (very cool name btw). They have a particularly long attack string of attacks and whenever they get knocked down, they immediately get back up and charge at you with super armor. Normally, they are not a problem to battle against, but in this mission in particular they felt random to face. The boss felt even more random, mainly due to its quick and long range attacks. And to think that, numbers-wise, it was actually a fair fight lol. I feel like skills and luck had equal weight in order to get the S rank. The other hard S rank was mission 8 of Devil Hunter difficulty. No typo. Not Dante Must Die and neither Hell And Hell. I really mean Devil Hunter. Despite all my efforts (1 attempt 😅), I really could not build my style meter to 5.000 points (S rank requirement for Devil Hunter) no matter how hard I tried (I tend to give up prematurely lol). I refused to try a second time too many (lol), so I decided to get the S rank in the alternate way. If you played the game, then you should know what I mean. Potential spoiler, so I'll say no more. Two Devil May Cry 5 platinums in the span of two months and I totally want more lol. The PS4 version requires 7 playthroughts and the PS5 requires 8, meaning I played Devil May Cry 5 a total of 15 times! That's one of my most played games ever! First place is still Devil May Cry 4 which I played 27 times, closely followed by Devil May Cry 3 which I played 26 times! Definitely one of my favourite series ever and now I even have all the platinums!

 

182 platinums, 9447 trophies and level 489. I am not that far away from 200 platinums, 10.000 trophies and level 500. I might focus on those 3 goals for the time being. And I probably want to get them fairly fast (but not hastily I hope), meaning no more RPGs and other long games for the time being. But the games I have in mind will definitely not hand me the platinums for free. For example, I am talking about Silent Hill 2, Vanquish, Art Of Fighting Anthology, The King Of Fighters Collection The Orochi Saga, Spec Ops The Line and Call Of Duty Classic. I know I can get all of them done, unless something particularly unfortunate happens. But then again, I am not sure I will actually aim for those 3 objectives. Other games I really want to play are Persona 3 Portable, Catherine, Resonance Of Fate and I also would love to do some purple spam. I mean Saints Row. For now, Silent Hill 2 it is!

Swap:

1. Lost Ruins -> Potion Permit (PS4/EU)

 

I completed Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers. The game is a vertical scrolling shoot em up that is presented like a sci fi movie from the 50`s, complete with FMVs with real actors. It was fun, but allmost all trophies are for getting a 3 star raiting in the different levels which took a few tries in some levels, even with the unlocked best perks and weapons.

I also continued playing Potion Permit and got a few trophies (cooking 50 dishes, get 10 villagers to friendship level 2 and a few others) and I started Rage 2 yesterday (did a few bandit hideouts to get back in the game, but no trophy so far).

I fell asleep before updating yesterday, but I didn't make any progress anyway. Just as I cooled off on Path of Exile, Fallout 76 and FFXIV come along and distract me. It's very possible I don't finish any more games on my list. But hope springs eternal! There's still a month to go.

Sorry for posting 2 days in a row. I waited too long to post about Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and in the meantime I made so much progress with the next game to the point I finished it a few hours after my last post lol. I better post about it now before I complete another game again. I decided to talk about one game at a time since my posts tend to be long even though I'm holding back lol.

 

Completed Silent Hill 2! Hands down a masterpiece and my favourite survival horror game. The hardest trophy is the one requiring the 10 stars run. Here are the objectives to get the 10 star rating:

- Action difficulty: Hard

- Riddle difficulty: Hard/Extra

- All endings unlocked (multiple playthroughs required then)

- Save the game a maximum of 2 times

- Complete the game in under 3 hours

- Pick up 150 items + all 8 special items

- 75 shooting kills

- 75 melee kills

- Complete the boat stage in less than 80 seconds

- Receive less than 500 damage

 

Here is my result in the spoiler tag below:

Spoiler

 

Very happy about my result! It was very intense and fun! Even though the monsters deal much more damage and are tougher to kill in hard difficulty, the game overall is not that hard. Except for the final 2 boss fights. They are nuts and can easily screw you out of the damage received requirement. Luckily, the Dog Ending allows you to skip those 2 boss fights, making the requirements damage received and total time much easier to obtain. But still do not under estimate damage received as it is very easy to screw up due to how clunky the gameplay is, the very close spaces restricting your ability to evade attacks and certain monsters deal so much damage to the point they can 2-shot you. I generally do not like riddles, but in this game they are actually very well done and enjoyable, especially the 'find the innocent' riddle. They are not that hard either, but still either have them memorized or have a guide ready for your 10 star rating, so you save time. Saving the game only twice, I found that requirement to be particularly strict. Thankfully, this is a short game. I first saved the game right before the 'escape' part. That's where most people save first. It's no wonder due to a certain "duck" (trying to avoid spoilers XD. And to be clear, I like the character) who does not properly keep up with your running and very easily gets killed, causing you the Game Over. Second save, right before the boss fight that unlocks the 'Childhood Trauma' trophy. Most people save instead in the boss fight that takes place 5 minutes later since it is an harder boss fight. I have my reasoning to save earlier: this boss fight, even though it's less difficult, can very easily mess things up due to the very small area you fight in. One grab and that's already about 70% of your health gone. Thanks to that save, I can just load the game if I mess up. Much better losing 1 minute of progress instead of 1 entire hour. Oh yeah, dying or quitting the game do not melt your save file, so you are free to reload your 2 saves however you see fit. Another advantage of this second save is that I still have access to the previous area in case I need to kill more monsters for the melee and shooting kills requirements. You cannot return to that area to grind kills if you decide to save before the boss fight that takes place 5 minutes later. And for some reason the final area of the game is very limited in terms of monsters to kill, 4 of them are particularly dangerous and out of them it would be recommended to skip the 2 skippable monsters. Completing the game in under 3 hours is not a problem at all, especially with all the practice you get by getting the other endings. As you can see, I still had more than 30 minutes to spare, so in that regard I was very relaxed and could afford to tackle the endgame in a slower and more careful way. 150 items to pick is not a problem as well. There's no need to keep track either. I picked up 201 items and I did not even need to get out of my way to collect certain items. For the 8 specials items, just make sure you have their locations memorized or have a guide ready. Killing 75 enemies by shooting and other 75 by melee were definitely trickier. I had to track them. Every time I got kill, I immediately wrote it down. A bit tedious, but it was worth it. In particular for the 75 shooting kills I totally had to go out of my way. I got the kills by shooting with the shotgun like a madman in the streets of Silent Hill and it took quiet a while. Once I reached 75, I stopped counting and still got a few more kills for safety measures, but damn I barely met those requirements, too close for comfort and there is no in-game tracker. I definitely killed a considerable amount of enemies after I counted to 75 and I was not expecting to get only 76 and 79 kills in the end. Even though I stopped counting after 75-75, I realistically consider my tracking to be very accurate and I was expecting around 90-90 kills. The fact I was that off, I am inclined to accuse the game to have a broken tracker lol. Boat stage time. I read it is pretty hard and some people actually use the second save right before this stage. Then, I read that in order to move the boat you have to quickly rotate both analog sticks. As I read that, I was totally boasting because I am super fast to rotate the analog sticks with my thumbs! Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi / Raging Blast: whenever 'collisions' happen, both players have to rotate the analog stick as quicky as possible and the faster player wins the collision. No matter who I face, the AI, any human player online or split screen vs, I ALWAYS win. So I was super confident. Too bad I did not take into account endurance. In Dragon Ball the rotation lasts for only a few seconds, but for this boat is at least 60 seconds of continuous rotating. At the 40th second mark I was feeling a considerable amount of strain and at the 50th second my thumbs were dying XD. I had no choice but to slow down lol. But I still got the job done. My stopwatch confirmed my success. Total damage, I say that was the most intense requirement. For the entire duration of the game I had to always make sure to never get hit. I even kept track of how many health drinks I used in order to kinda know how much damage I received lol. Max hp means 100 hp. Getting the 75-75 kills while always paying attention to my health gave me a lot of tension lol. Particularly stressful when the same monster hit me 3 times in a row due to me not reloading my gun and the "duck" getting in the way preventing me to properly move backward lol. In the end, I was expecting I received around 300 damage and I was correct. Very satisfied of my performance! In the spoiler tag below you can find my notes for tracking stuff down.

Spoiler

The 'right-left' paragraph was my reminder for how to move the boat right and left. The last paragraph are codes generated by the game that change for each playthrough. I'm glad I got a fairly readable bloody wall code, which is infamous for providing hard to read codes more often than not. For the luggage code, I got the darkest possible word lol.

 

More thoughts about the game. My favourite ending is the In Water ending. Playing hard difficulty while aiming for In Water ending was very fitting. I personally consider it the real ending of the game. Dog ending is hilarious lol. I found the Rebirth ending to be impactful. My favourite songs are 'Theme Of Laura' (game's main theme) and 'Angel's Thanathos' (In Water ending theme). Incredible how very well done the story is. Everytime there was a cinematic, you knew you were about to witness something very good. I enjoyed the exploration. Silent Hill is a very nice looking town and you can totally feel the atmosphere, especially with all that fog and sound effects. The characters have very intriguing backgrounds. I'll conclude by saying I hope the town of Silent Hill will never call me XD. I rather going to Raccoon City lol.

 

Currently in the Italian leaderboard I am in the 984th rank. I can say I don't care about leaderboards all I want, but no matter how I look at it, being in the top 1000 of my own country is pretty cool. But still, I personally consider leaderboard ranking something not worth to invest into. Instead, there is another 1000 I might be interested in. I could see myself trying to get 1000 ultra rare trophies, which is another goal I could add to the 3 I mentioned yesterday. I did not really care about ultra rares, but I am currently sitting at 633 ultra rares, so I could try to put the effort to get that 1000.

 

Next game, Vanquish for PS3. I already got 1 platinum 2 months ago, but this is a stack I am not confident at all lol. Tactical Challenge #6, here we go again! Better not under estimate the other 5 either lol.

Update #6

 

So a nice bit of activity since my last update. I managed to get both the Skyrim platinum and 100% (really enjoyed the dlcs). Was undecided what to start after this but ended up settling on Bully which I am making quick progress on. Only the one trophy to go on PGA Tour 2k23 which I continue to chip away at (basically just an xp grind now). Could have had it done but the last two times I have looked to play, the 2k servers have been down (not ideal).

 

I am also using my second swap bringing in Days Gone. I hear nothing but good things about this game from other trophy hunters and I am yet to come across a first party exclusive I didn't enjoy. Started it but swapped to Bully as wanted something a bit shorter after Skyrim. Will pick this up again once I finish Bully hopefully this weekend at some point.

 

Happy hunting and hope everyone is planning on joining the Summer challenge as well!

 

1. Horizon Forbidden West - 1% - 34% - 71% - 100% 

2. It Takes Two - 2%

3. Bully - 1% - 22%

Getting to the pointy end now with it being May. Closing in on Plat 200 now!

 

Prodeus: A great Doom-like game. Really enjoyed this one, but a guide is definitely needed for some of the secrets and collectibles. 

 

Last Stop: This game follows the episodic Telltale style of storytelling. Really enjoyed this one, but felt the pacing / ending wasn't as good as the other episodes. Still worth playing!

 

Minit: Cool concept for a game. Pretty much a follow a guide to achieve the Plat though, as without that this game would be a load of trial and error.

 

Swaps Used: 0

Still not sure if the Knight Witch is going to get subbed and added to the Summer Backlog Challenge, for now I have left it in, but we will see how the next week or so goes. 

 

Planning to add something / a bonus challenge to my Summer Backlog participation, so hopefully that comes to fruition too!

Update #8

 

Hey everyone, hope you are all well 😊

 

A bit late with my update. A few life things got in the way, and tbh I haven't really played much in the past week, I went on a bit of an anime binge instead. But despite that I do have some progress to report.

 

I managed to finish up the hardcore run in Solar Ash. Thankfully not everything in the hardcore mode was as frustrating and it didn't take quite as long as I feared it might, but there were a few annoying choke points (looking at you Scorpion boss 🤬). Overall though, I did enjoy the game and I'm glad I was able to finish it.

 

Other than that, I did play a bit more Eternights. I'm up to Act 3 now, although still not many trophies to report. I'm hoping to get through more this weekend.

 

That's all I have for now. Just need to think about my list for the summer event 😊

 

Trophy progress:

- Solar Ash -> 91 > 100%

- Eternights -> 3 > 9%

 

Pending games:

- Tunic 0%

- Sea of Stars 0%

 

Completed games:

- Rayman Origins 

- Strayed Lights

Most of my gaming time this week has been with this one, so it's been a great time playing through a Metal Gear Solid game with @rjkclarke, really love it and having a lot of fun with it. Finished up the main story, just have the 'true' ending to go, and we've been knocking out a lot of the S ranks pretty fast since Rob's done it before and has a lot of good gear which cuts a lot of the grinding out, especially on some of the slightly dry repeated tank and helicopter missions. There's some weird MGS trophies as per usual, like going on a date with a 16 year old, proceeding to go into the 'love box' with her while she says 'I'm feeling a little awkward' and the box moves, made me uncomfortable as fuck and this beats the Snake Beater trophy in MGS2, why this is in the game I don't know. So weird and wrong to include that in the game.

 

Moving on to the story... this one was really great, as are all of the MGS games I've played so far. More people should play this one since I bet a lot missed out with it releasing on the PSP. It gives a lot of context into why Big Boss is how he is, how he starts down a different path and goes more into the Boss, makes you think about nuclear deterrence as a concept and what can bring peace, even if only temporary. The artwork by Yoji Shinkawa is fantastic as well, I really love that comic book style they went for in the game, it's absolutely stunning. A lot of the characters in this game are really memorable too, like Huey, Strangelove and Kaz.

 

Hopefully be playing some more of this in the next day or so! Hint hint @rjkclarke😂.

 

BioShock > 32%

 

Finally got a couple of trophies! So, Survivor difficulty is no joke, and I'm not going to use the exploit so yeah, it's a little challenging but I'm having fun revisiting this one. Like fighting Big Daddies and spider splicers are especially tough on this difficulty. The atmosphere in this game is one of the best in a game I've played, the story holds up really well still and it's interesting replaying it after knowing the story and spotting certain things I didn't the first time. The gameplay holds up really well too, apart from the awkward pressing L3 to aim down the sights, like I'm ever using that! Doesn't matter though, and the use of plasmids is really fun, I'm exploring the game a lot more than I did the first time and experimenting more since when I first played it I think I just played it on the regular difficulty so I just enjoyed the story and chilled out with it. Will be playing more of this game soon!

 

Outside of the challenge me and my group had a go at the Black Ops II EE for Origins and we nearly did it, so I expect we'll get it the next time we go for it since we got about 80% of the way through it but we made some silly mistakes that we shouldn't make the 2nd time around. I had fun anyway so that's the main thing! I swear I have Stockholm Syndrome for zombies now because I used to hate it, either that or having a cool group of people to do it with helps massively (it's definitely partly this).

[PurpleHonchkrow]

Vanquish (PS3) completed! This is my second stack. According to this website, my platinum time is 23 hours and 24 minutes and I am in the 18th rank of the fastest achievers leaderboard! As contradictory as it sounds, I was not speedrunning and I actually took my time lol. Very fun game again! At times, I was so focused on the action to the point I forgot about the collectibles lol. Glad for the chapter select option, even telling me how many collectibles I'm missing and in which chapters specifically. Once again, Tactical Challenge #6 was the most intense part of the game, especially the final round vs Red and Blue. Surprised and relieved there is no trophy requiring to clear God Hard difficulty. Platinum would be even ultra rarer. I leave the third platinum (PS4, JP) for the Summer Challenge and as for the fourth one (PS4) I do not know yet. I still have to buy the game. Oh, look it's on sale! €6.24!

 

Next game: Jump Force. I was looking for more ultra rare trophies and I did not have to look far: this game is part of my actual backlog of already started games. 2 years ago I only got the online trophies and did not even start the story lol. Another contradictory statement: even though I have completed much harder games, for Jump Force I do not feel confident at all. I have a bad feeling XD. Hard to explain, let's say it's an hunch. For now the game is fun and I hope it lasts.

Putting Strange Horticulture at #8 as promised. I am starting another event in May, and the first game of three I'm planning to tackle for that one is Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Hopefully, I'll be able to get through all three!

[freddie1989]

Update time and going to keep them regular even with nothing to put forward!!

 

Darkisders is all I have to offer here and about 3 bosses is the length of the update. They have done a job on the combat this time around, it is more Souls like where you lose all your progress if you die and you end up going back a while. I hate this style of game in truth but a fan of the series so I will press on with it. Combat is fast paced as well but we can keep at it.

 

Plague Tale Requiem 60% - 100%

 

Endling 0%
Helldivers 22%
Rise of the Tomb Raider 16%
Ghost of Tsushima 1%
Battlefield Hardline 24%
Zombie Army Trilogy 0%
This War of Mine 0%
Ghostwire: Tokyo 12%

Darksiders 3 4% - 10%

[gladiatorrrrrrr]

just a heads-up that I am using a swap; since I am on a holiday this Sunday onwards I have no time to finish a game on a console anymore. So swapping A Plaques's Tale Requim for either SLy 2 (PSVita) or Sir Eatsalot (PSVita)...probably doing both anyway 😁

[MidnightDragon]

Finally got a new platinum for Star Wars Day!  

 

 

You can see what I think here.

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

 

It's been quite awhile since my last update and I have to say I've made virtually no progress. Unfortunately, life has reared its ugly head and a ton of stuff has gone to shit lately so of course there hasn't been any time for gaming. I did manage to finish off Wolfenstein 3D, but apart from that I haven't really been playing much. I played a little more Final Fantasy XIV, and even though it looks like I haven't done much, I actually did manage to set myself up pretty nicely for the platinum whenever I decide to resub.

 

I think I'm going to have to throw in the towel though and call it quits. I just can't see myself having any time for games over the next few weeks. I'll think about if I'll jump in on the summer edition, but right now I don't want to commit to something if I know I won't have a chance to even knock off five games.

 

Best of luck everyone and I'll make sure to keep up with everyones progress

Update 5 

Well I've finished most of what was good in Tiny Tina's Wonderland and had a great time with it    ......but then we come to bit that put me off Borderlands and that's the overpriced (even on sale) dlc !

Between that and the silly trophy for all upgrades they know how to take the shine off a game.

I'm almost done with it and then The Artful Escape will get most of my attention along with finishing Ghostwire dlc .

I know I've bitten off more than I can chew with too many long games so at least that's part of my summer challenge arranged .

[Fanatixa1]

Hi everyone, 

 

Here's my update for this week. I've completed Lego Lord of the Rings this week. A really cute version of the story which I really enjoyed playing. It's similar to other Lego games, but didn't take as long to complete and the collectibles were easy to find. 

 

I've played more Ace Attorney Chronicles and finished episode 2. I like the game, but I do feel it will be quite long. Also in this episode it takes a long time to get to any conclusion and it would actually be perfect to play on a handheld for it. I guess that's how it was released when it came out. I will keep playing it, but also got distracted playing the dlc for Fallout 4. I never played the dlc's and after watching the tv show I really wanted to play it. I'm really enjoying it and finished the first dlc Vault-tec workshop. Started up Far Harbor now and really liking it. Let's see how distracted it will keep me, but have to say I would like to 100% it if I can. 

 

Have a great week everyone!

I had played a lot of Rage 2 the last week and managed to get the platinum and finished up the trophies for the Rise of the Ghosts DLC. So all I have left to do, is to play the Terrormania DLC and 2 (hopefully) short playthroughs on Ironman Mode and Ultra Nightmare Difficulty.The game has its moments, but is pretty meh for the most part and I encountered a lot of bugs during my playthrough (constant screen tearing, 2 trophies for completing missions dosen`t unlocked, so I had to reload a save file and play them again and others) and don`t get me started on the trophy for destroying 30 spy drones (Not the worst collectible trophy I ever got, but definietly in the Top 10).

I also played a bit of Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and got trophies for beating one X Challenge only with the standart weapon, looking up my score and getting the secret credits sequence.

Jump Force completed! Much quicker than expected. Psnp guide's estimated lenght for the platinum is 70 hours, but I took way less that. Ok sure, my profile says I took 2 hours, 3 months, but my actual gameplay time is around 30 hours. My bad feeling was fairly correct: unless I was doing something terribly wrong or missing something, getting S rank on Expert Missions by playing normally is... kinda impossible? It seemed like winning perfectly (no damage received) is a requirement for S rank. Not really going to happen since you still receive chip damage by blocking special and ultimate attacks and of course the AI spams them on Expert Difficulty. Also, some of the AI behaviour really seems rigged lol. No healing items, actually no items at all can be used in battle. I did not feel sorry at all to use the very cheap strategy provided by the guide. Still not a guaranteed method, but at least it made the trophy much more doable. You still need some luck and to an extent also need to know what you are doing. It's also very helpful to preserve your perfect round by being able to get out of tight spots thanks to your skills and nerves of steel. I would like to say some of the evasions I made were insane lol. The trophy requiring to earn 1 million gold felt so unnecessary, but at least it was not that time consuming. But hey, the game was actually very good! The gameplay was very entertaining, at least the parts I could afford to play normally XD. The final boss felt very cheap. I fought cheap too then. Take your distance and then dash and throw whenever he starts his special attack. Guaranteed perfect win, even better for the fact I accidentally discovered this method by myself lol. It was a very nice blast from the past seeing so many characters from many anime I used to watch when I was a kid. If I have more free time, I would still watch them, but unfortunatally it's not the case. In terms of main hobby, I decided to dedicate my free time for gaming. Seeing Naruto and Gaara being friends was very surprising to me. Goes to show how outdated I am lol. Unless I am severely misremembering stuff XD. If I pretend 'super' does not exist, then Dragon Ball is the only Shonen Jump Anime I watched in its entirety.

 

13 games left in my backlog. Seems like I'm back in clearing my backlog. Next game will probably be Tales Of Berseria. I miss Magilou, I clearly remember she is very funny! And I also remember the game is nice. Last time I played it was 4 years ago. I "only" completed the story. "Only" in quotation marks because it took me around 70 hours lol. The platinum will take a very long while.

Update #9

 

Hey everyone, hope you are all well. Today is a bank holiday in the UK, so gonna make the most of this extra gaming time! 😁

 

I managed to blitz through Eternights over the weekend. It turns out there's only 5 Acts in the game, and the story actually progresses pretty quickly. I finished my first playthrough on Saturday, getting the trophy for finishing the game only romancing one character. Then I started New Game+ yesterday, and with all the skills carried over from the first playthrough it actually went by pretty quickly. A few strategic saves to view all the characters optional scenes, finished the playthrough romancing everyone and I had the game finished in about 5 hours. Overall I thought it was a decent game, a bit rough around the edges in places, but the voice acting and the anime cutscenes were pretty high quality. Considering this was made by such a small team, the end result isn't too bad.

 

I started Tunic as my next game. I saw there was a guide using accessibility options to basically cheese the game and have it finished in about 2 hours. But that seems kinda lame to me, so I'm gonna play it as intended. The game is pretty cryptic, and I think I may already be lost 😅

 

Anyway that's all from me for today. Catch you next time!

 

Trophy progress:

- Eternights -> 9 > 100%

- Tunic -> 0 > 10%

 

Pending games:

- Sea of Stars 0%
