Played 2018

Just a list of the games I have played in 2018.

The order is somewhat chronological, though not an absolute indication on when I finished the games.

Showing 1-10 of 27 items

Dead Cells

Dead Cells

Neat RogueWhatever. I have found that I come back to it from time to time, for a run or ten. The mechanics feel good, though the double jump can be annoying.

Train Valley

Train Valley

A nice little puzzle game with trains.

Watch Dogs 2

Watch Dogs 2

I really enjoyed this. Unlike Watch Dogs 1 the main character is likeable, and the crew is a nice Hackers like ensemble. Goofy with an ok main story, though the game shines with its side missions. Went "non lethal" (not counting driving and a couple of explosions. The stun gun was a nice touch, and unlike in GTA I felt the rag tag of hackers would not go around on a murdering spree.

Pillars of Eternity

Pillars of Eternity

Finally got around to giving this a go. It seems neat, and the story so far is a bit interesting. But man, I am not actually sure I ever will get around to finish it.

Hob

Hob

Cute little action platformer. The controls were a bit finicky, and I definitely jumped off edges unintentionally way to many times.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Went back to the well. It is a neat time sink of mindless non complicated loot gathering.

Rebel Galaxy

Rebel Galaxy

A nice little space shooter, with naval combat (2d ish). What stands out the most is really the soundtrack, it is awesome! The story is a bit thin, and kind of reminded me of Dark Star One (due to the unique upgrades).

Bayonetta

Bayonetta

Yikes. Finally gave this a shot, and boy I do not like it at all. I did play Devil May Cry back in the day, which had a certain appeal, but this game just seems bad. From the "over the top" anime fan service, to extremely lame characters. Mind you I only played it as far as the first fight on the highway (aka finished half of the tutorial).

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

A very neat JRPG with an above average story. The characters are a bit goofy, or a bit too stuck in their respective stereotypes, though not too bad. The first two chapters are strong, and interesting, which makes it hard for the next chapters main quests to feel as big and important. The story wraps up with a good final act, and sets the scene for the next game in the trilogy. Guess I will start on that soon. The music is nice, though ended up downloading the Evolution version of the tracks, which is a little less psp. Would really have liked to play the Evolution edition, but it has not been release yet. I really liked it.

Prey

Prey

Very bioshockish/systemshock/dead space... Which is probably why I don't really like it. I don't really care for horrorish games, where they just make a lot of the game dark, add jump scares. I really dislike the Nightmare that is after you. That being said I like the upgrades you can get throughout the game, and the story is a bit interesting. Though my guess is it is all just a simulation or perhaps rather you the player is a Typhon experiment to figure out how a Typhon reacts in a human form/when given "feelings". I probably won't finish this, currently at the arboretum.
