This was a good game to play during the downtime of a vacation. Didn't finish it so maybe I will have to bust it out next time I go someplace.
started Puzzle & Dragons Z

++++++++++ This game feels like someone wanted to make a new Resident Evil, added a touch of Saw, a dash of True Detective season 1, a bit of the Amnesia style of modern horror game, and a healthy helping of old school Resident Evil but in first person perspective, and somehow it turned out really good. The early parts are definitely the stronger parts. The later sections seem to be a lot more, um, confined? By that I mean there's just not as much opportunity to go exploring as it becomes more of a shooter. And the story takes a bit of a turn. But overall it was definitely worth seeing through to the end.
trying out my new laptop, this game did not work so well

++++++++++ Scuba Diving Journey is an apt summary for this. But Journey was more emotionally affecting, it took my emotions for a real roller coaster ride. While Abzu was kinda just a pleasant way to spend a couple hours and it didn't have nearly the impact that Journey had on me.
++++++++++ Pretty solid puzzle game. Some were quite devious. A handful were a little too devious for my measly brain. I didn't pay much attention to the story going on around the puzzles, but what I did see made me think it probably deserved my attention.
++++++++++ threw myself into this during an blizzard that gave me an unexpected February break and I've had almost as much fun playing Sleeping Dogs as I had watching Vinny play Sleeping Dogs, which is to say I had a hell of a lot of fun playing Sleeping Dogs. This game's pretty darn great.
++++++++++ This game is solid. I have a slight problem that puzzles have only one solution, and the game gets more strict about that one solution the later you go so you can't even mess around on some of the later puzzles, one wrong move and you will fail. But the puzzles are satisfying and clever, and it still manages to do some cool stuff along the way and sorta feel like a tomb raider game. Though in contrast, Hitman Go did manage to give you some reason to solve things a different way with it's bonus objectives, which were often things like kill everyone or pick up a hard to reach case placed on the level or solve the puzzle in under a certain number of steps, things you might have missed or skipped the first time you solved it and thus gave you a reason to play and solve puzzles a couple times. Lara Croft Go's biggest issue is it replaces those sorts of bonus objectives with basically a rather tedious pixel hunt to find collectibles hidden in the background of levels, which I didn't think was that great on a computer screen (I bought the game on steam) as some of those collectibles were quite deviously hidden and finding them wasn't satisfying. I can't imagine how it would be at all tolerable trying to look for them on a much smaller phone screen. And the only benefit for actually finding them is extra outfits which really aren't that much of a benefit since the fun ones, like a Hitman suit, were unlocked from the get go, and a couple won't be unlocked until after I finish aaaaaaaaall the levels including a bonus batch of levels, and since there isn't any real reason to play stages again then why bother? I bother because I'm crazy. But you know. That's not a good reason.
