Games I Played/Finished in 2013

by artie

I'm starting this list a little early because I consider my "GOTY" consideration to be done after the week of Christmas, which has passed. So here's some games I've been playing

Showing 1-10 of 35 items

Xenoblade Chronicles

Xenoblade Chronicles

3/5 - After getting within 10 hours of the end and being utterly exhausted of this game, I gave it up and watched the ending on YouTube. It really loses it's appeal when your tactics stop working with little feedback on how to improve. The writing is awful and that persisted all the way till the end. Could've been a lot better.

Natural Selection II

Natural Selection II

2/5 - After playing a bit more, I think I just suck at multiplayer shooters. This one isn't particularly friendly for new people. I'll play more.

Football Manager 2013

Football Manager 2013

4/5 - After 44 hours logged, I think I've sufficiently played FM. Next step is buying soccer tactics books to be more effective.

Spec Ops: The Line

Spec Ops: The Line

4/5 - Most of the plot points were spoiled for me and I still enjoyed the game. Certainly one of the prettiest games ever. Every frame looks like a picture.

Proteus

Proteus

1/5 - Pretentious and pointless.

Omerta: City of Gangsters

Omerta: City of Gangsters

2/5 - Uninspired and totally missing the point of why anyone would play this.

Dota 2

Dota 2

5/5 - I have a full-hog DOTA addiction. With close to 400 hours to played, it's clear I like this game a lot.

To the Moon

To the Moon

3/5 - A beautiful story wrapped around an awful game. The mechanics are terrible and I constantly had to fight my wanting to stop playing just to see it to the end. Overall a positive experience, but just barely.

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

3/5 - Liked it at first, lost all interest in continuing the campaign and my issues with multiplayer have only got more complicated. Too bad.

SimCity 4

SimCity 4

4/5 - Haven't played it a significant amount until this year, and man this game is rad. Sort of plateaus at a certain point in the game, but still good fun.
