Games I Played Last Week 10/13-10/19

I need to start writing these earlier so I'm not writing about the last week as I'm wrapping up another week...

My Week in Gaming 10/13-10/19

Hitman Go

I played a few more levels in Hitman Go. Not much else to say. It's been fun, but I'm not sure if I'll last the whole way through.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

I really like Shadow of Mordor, but I have found that it actually makes me anxious to fight the captains. I've only died maybe three times, so I shouldn't be so anxious, but I spent hours finding all the collectibles and doing all the weapon missions on the first map before doing the three or four story missions needed to get to the next part of the game. I'm planning on doing the same thing on the second part of the game, because this is the type of game where I have a lot more fun when I'm "over-powered." :)

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

I started The Vanishing of Ethan Carter last week. I was really interested in the game earlier in the year, but I had basically decided to wait a while before picking it up simply due to the amount of other games in my backlog. However, GreenManGaming had a 20% coupon, and this game seemed like a good "Halloween game." So, I decided to get it.

It is as beautiful as everyone says, but I was put off only an hour or so in when I was trying to find one piece to a puzzle and spent nearly an hour scouring the ground for it. After that, I didn't really have any problems, but that part was definitely frustrating - basically the same thing as pixel hunting in old point-and-click adventure games.
