I have completed my 3rd game with Subnautica. I really enjoyed this game. Yeah it has some bugs and frame rate issues later on but it never froze or crashed once and the game is amazing otherwise so I'm not gonna complain. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves survival or crafting/building games.

 

I've also started on one of my longer games with Horizon Zero Dawn which is at 14%.

Welcome to the club ? 

 

When the game first released, I was playing so much the I ended up dreaming with stuff relayed to lvl9 or 10... Really messed up...

 

Still, that's some good progress for you! I never managed to clear any of the Babel towers (not finish the game on hard, but that's a bit of laziness from my part..).

The Wind Was Perfect

 

This week I completed a total of zero games. I was planning on taking a week or two off to complete Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory but I got distracted by Just Cause 3. I shifted my focus to Just Cause but then I decided to focus on Everybody's Golf. I have been playing Everybody's Golf for a couple hours everyday since the event started but this week I really got into it.

 

Everybody's Golf is a game where you play golf. I play this game first thing in the morning to win a daily revenge match. It usually takes me few tries. I was waiting for the fisherman guy to challenge me so I would earn the right to use better bait when fishing. I needed the better bait to catch rare fish. Rare fish have a chance of giving you a rare golf ball that makes it easy to hit the ball perfectly. I needed the special ball to make my condor attempts more consistent (the ball is technically optional but I suck). A condor is getting a hole-in-one on a par 5 hole. It's borderline impossible to hit the ball far enough to even get close to the hole on a par 5 hole. There are 3 holes that I know of where a condor is possible but you need a golf club forged by drawfven gods, 3 course conditions to be set just right, the wind to cooperate, a degree in theoretical physics and a whole lot of luck. The conditions were right and I had everything I needed (a theoretical degree in physics is just as good) to attempt a condor so I did that for a day. It was a nightmare to pull off. 80% of attempts ended in shots that were not even remotely close to getting in the hole. Even if you set up everything correctly, RNG will screw you over. Eventually, a miracle shot happened and I got a condor. It felt great until I remembered you have to get 3 condors to earn another trophy. The second one was as difficult as the first but the third one didn't take long. 

 

I'm almost done with Everybody's Golf. I have 1 secret character left to beat, another hundred tournament characters to collect and a weeks worth of revenge matches to win after I wake up early in the morning from Catherine related nightmares. I'm kidding about the Catherine nightmares part. I just wanted to be part of the conversation. I haven't played Catherine and don't plan on it since the block based puzzles don't look very fun.

 

I also played a block based puzzle game called Infinifactory this week. I only intended to play the game for a hour or two but it turned into about 8 and my walls are now covered in complex equations. In Infinifactory, you turn a bunch of blocks on one side of the level, into a chair or ballistic missle or something. You can't use your hands to build the object, you have to build a factory with a bunch of conveyor belts, welders, pushers, sensors and other stuff. The game is very relaxing but a single puzzle can take hours to solve. The game will pretty much leave you alone and let you figure out everything yourself. You get a basic tutorial stage to learn the controls and you get a picture showing you how the new factory piece works when you unlock a new piece. I'm currently have 75% percent of the trophies but I'm terrified about the last few because I'm at the end of the game, I think, and the trophies I already earned were not easy. 

 

My full game list is in the spoiler tag at the end.

Busy week of school for me but did manage to get two games done.

 

Lords of the Fallen's second and third playthroughs were tedium, but thankfully not too long. I think it took about 4 hours per playthrough. I stand by my original assessment of the game.

 

I also started and finished Fast and Furious: Showdown. It's kind of a classic terrible movie tie-in, but with a rather interesting twist: you have to play the campaign and challenges in co-op and in solo mode. The co-op is only local splitscreen, which is probably the single largest factor for the game's rarity as it isn't especially challenging or time consuming. It's a terribly produced game with a shoddy story, awful physics, and boring campaign. On the other hand, the challenges have a little more variety and fun, and it's a novel experience to play a game like this in splitscreen.

 

I also did a bit more of the story in GTA IV. It's growing on me quite a bit as we get into more complex scenarios and deeper into the narrative. I'm looking forward to finishing the story soon and starting on the side content.

 

No clue what game is next just yet, will see what catches my attention

of course. I will try to finish the list to day or tomorrow.

 Two more games to report in.

 

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven was a pretty decent game to go through. While it didn't control as well as I'd hoped, it had great character variety, a better than average original storyline and actually made me interested in learning more about this franchise. Overall, I consider this a good time.

 

I am conflicted about my time with 11-11: Memories Retold. As a standalone game, it's written pretty well, has a striking art style and shows a pretty good view of the end of the Great War and Armistice Day. But, as a follow=up to Valiant Hearts, I felt that it was a weaker 'game' with a stronger story as more focus was put on the characters than the world. Still, it's a really good experience.

Welcome Dreaming. There appears to be an error on your list. You have The Last of Us Remastered entered twice.

N Game Completion (2 of 2)

 

Remember all those cartoons you watched as a child? Specifically Rugrats, TMNT, Spongebob Squarepants, and Hey Arnold? Remember how large of a cast these shows had? Great! Let's pick around 3 characters from each and call it a day. The four turtles (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo) take up.... well four spots. Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy all take up three. Arnold and Helga two. Tommy, Angelica, and Reptar (yes the dinosaur itself) take up three. Those are all the characters in this game. Now if you like these characters it's at least something for you to play....but each character is mute. Meaning they have no audio but about three different lines of text during the races depending on how it goes. Powerups are slightly unbalanced as if you are at the end, you get about triple of a weapon or a boost that carries you to first if you're close enough or an attack that tracks the character in the lead. Sound like a lesser Mario Kart? It really is. 

 

However, even with all the (personal) issues I had with it, the game plays well enough. Tracks are various as are power ups, though having to do three playthroughs of the cups (once at each difficulty) lessens the fun of it by the end. I'm positive I'm not the target audience after having done the plat and it's why I don't recommend it unless you either: have a young sibling or kid to play this game with or have it played by, want an easy enough plat, have no better racing kart game alternative, or just genuinely want something with a favorite cartoon character of yours. Or even something like I don't know..... need a N game for an ABC community event? 

 

In the end, I'm glad to be finished with it as the trophy images and text are at least some I enjoy. I'll probably link this to my original list post since I don't want to clutter this any more than it has to be. N games done.

[SpaceCoresDad]

Two more down! Nothing super intense yet, since I needed a bit of a cooldown from Death Stranding.

 

 

V is for Valiant Hearts: The Great War was first. Not a lot of games start with V, you know? I had been meaning to get to this for a while though and I'm glad I finally did. It's short, but really sweet, and provides some excellent incite to the kinds of people that served in WWI. Hard to believe they're all gone. Great game, even if it had one trophy that was unnecessarily difficult.

 

T is for Titanfall 2 I just completed a couple hours ago, as of writing this. LOTS of games start with T, but this is one my friends had been recommending for a while. It's... okay. The campaign was alright, and while it did do some interesting stuff, nothing ever really grabbed me that hard. Maybe it's just that I'm bad at FPS games, but I felt the need wall running mechanic wasn't used super well in a lot of places. Oh well. Other people like it, so maybe it's just not for me. It's knocked off the list now though, so I'm a tenth of the way done already.

Not too sure what's next. Maybe God of War? I'll come up with something.

My backups are going to be stuff I haven’t gotten around to but have wanted to.

- Kingdom Come Deliverance

- Dragon Age Inquisition

- Danganronpa 3 

My first completed game is in the books with Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. Overall I enjoyed the game a ton. I’ve seen a lot of guides talk about how rough the collectible hunting is and some even recommended not to grab any on the way through the story. I don’t think I can recommend that at all, some of the planets I had to cleanup went super fast because I had done a good job hunting my first time through.

 

The combat was super satisfying and gave me God of War/Dark Souls vibes. I liked collecting stuff and listening/reading about lore. The graphics were beautiful on my base PS4 and it seems like a lot of bugs have been patched out because the game ran smooth as butter for me. I think Respawn did a fantastic job with the IP and I hope we see more Star Wars from them in the future!  
 

With January soon coming to a close I’m starting to think it’s unrealistic that I’ll come even close to finishing my list. I like having something to work towards but I’m such a Dead by Daylight junkie right now that my little game time is spent mostly playing that. I’ll keep trying anyway and update my progress as I go!
