49. Never Alone (PS4) is getting some rave reviews ain't it? It's a basic platformer that's supposed to tug on the heartstrings. Little Esikimo girl and her trusty cute fox do a very simple story that was apparently told by some old guy to the peeps who made this game and inspired them to make it. The game. It's cute if basic and the basics are basically a little clumsy. Some finicky jumps or smudged uncomfortable platforming bits here and there. It's a tiny (tiny) bit ropey in places - structurally speaking - and beyond some nice effects here and there it could easily have been made on previous gen stuff so you won't get your next gen kicks here, no sir. But that's not to say that it's not good, this is: it's not good. It's ok. It reminds me of Brothers: A tale of a Couple of Brothers insofar as it's a cutesy story but there's no gut wrenching here ending here. That's at the start of the third act instead.

But I'm here to help you decide whether you want to buy this with money you've earned. THEN THIS SIMPLE QUESTION WILL PROVIDE A DECISION ON YOUR BEHALF.

All you need to ask yourself is this: Did you enjoy Brothers: A Tale of A Brother and his Brother?

If the answer is yes, then don't bother with this as you've played the superior game.

If the answer is no, then don't bother cause you won't enjoy this either.

And to think I got this instead of Geo Wars 3 cause the usual suspects are already ruining it with ludicrously unbeatable scores. Shitheads. :kiss:

Not sure how it managed to get me emotionally invested in a set of rectangles, but managed it. Beautiful score, solid puzzles, and fun narration. Occasional frustrating platforming is the only blot on its copybook.

Also great Sony cross-buy and cross-save support - I finished this across three different platforms!

Well, that was pretty fucking harrowing.

It puts a lot of other games into perspective. If you've not heard of it, you basically play a group of people caught up in a war - they're not soldiers, just everyday people (I had a TV chef, a footballer and a music student, among others). You have to keep them alive, and it's fucking difficult to start with.

More than worth a go, if just to find out if you'd beat the old couple to death for the chance to get some bandages.

Just read the description of the game on Wiki...sounds excellent.

I have missed Resogun from my list? I've completed that to the end on experienced.

I've got the final boss to ravage on Soul Sacrifice too, which is (temporarily) given up on. So close.

I'm probably going to end at 16, given the only game I'm currently playing is Lords of the Fallen, which I'm finding quite hateful and can't see myself wanting to finish (the issues are many, but I don't think anyone would be particularly interested in a long rant about it).

Why the hell not? That's what the Internet was designed for. And porn. I was checking it out but was undecided whether I wanted to dip my toe.

Ok....

Reasons Lords of the fallen is not too great:
1) Technically it's arse. I can only talk about the pc version, but framerates <20 are less rare than one might hope. And you rather need v-sync off to get anything out of it which turns it into a horrible tearing nightmare. And don't use the gauntlet unless you value framerates somehere < 1fps.
2) Thing Dark souls never does: Makes your character invisible. Knowing the current state and position of your character is rather important. Am I on the floor? Can I dodge out of the way, or get a shield ready? Etc etc.Guess what? Yeah, get too close to a wall and your character is handily rendered invisible. Usually the case because an enemy has knocked you into the wall and you're possibly on the floor. Who knows? Not me.
3) Controls. May not be an issue if you're not used to the DS control scheme, but having different, undefinable controls is not great. (No, I didn't mean to change magic spells, I meant to roll, thanks) amera is rather hopeless even beyond it's ability to dematerialise you.
4) Active equipment inventory being done on a cyclic basis. DS had a whole load of different toggles (left hand, right hand, both hands) meaning you can quickly get to the configuration you need. This it's all done on one button. And the feedback as to what you're currently holding is... not great (particularly when invisible) The item and spells weren't quite as simple, but did give you fairly clear graphics. Again, not the case here. (And not only are the graphics indistinct, the choice of having the use spell button being the same as switch spell is an... interesting design choice. (Would be the same for items, but I only ever have the health potions equipped anyway)
5) On the subject of feedback, the lock on indicator is tiny and out of the way. Not great.
6) Depth of combat options is slightly lacking. For ranged combat, you get 4 rather pants spells and a magic gauntlet. That's it. the weapons you can get are a small array of different weapon types.
7) Crafting system. For ages it bugged out and didn't work. Even when it does it's somewhat limited in scope.
8) The shield enemies. Seemingly the only way to reliably kill them is to Benny into them repeatedly. Ridiculous. And the non Bennyable enemies are hateful. (Particularly the ones who are bosses who summon more enemies. Which was not great in DS2, and it remains so here)
9) Indeed in general, the enemies period of vulnerability is often swingingly small. If he's taken a huge lunge at me, I don't expect him to be able to get the shield up/jump out of the way before I can counter. If he's charged head first into a wall, he shouldn't be able to turn round ready to attack with nary an animation.
10) Oh and it's inconsistent. Benny into an enemy once and you'll knock him back. Another time and he'll just ignore yo and then smack you. No obvious reason for the difference. Same for damage from the gauntlet of ultimate slowness Whether it does damage or not appears random, Or whether lock on actually locks on (See: rubbish lock indicator) In DS I rarely felt damage I got was anything other than my mistake. Not so here.
11) Distinct lack of tension. Staying alive isn't exactly important, and for the most part it's easy but tedious.
12) That despite having a 'proper' tutorial, it's considerably less clear than DS. (The lack of player hints really shows up here).
13) Which really shows up with the tough enemies that can only be killed once you've picked up something in an anonymous jar elsewhere in the level. I had to look that up. It was either that or I would've stopped playing at that point. Seriously, you spend minutes killing the bugger and after you exhaust ypur health, he punches the floor and returns to life. The only hint you have is a red ribbon which charges off into a wall.
14) Generic levels. Again with the dark sould comparison, everywhere there had a unique feeling, and once you'd reentered an area via a shortcut or whatever, you immediately knew you had and recognised the area. And it was easy to generate a map in your head as everywhere was rather distinct. Not the case here. You go somewhere and you may possibly have been there before, but it's hard to know as it all looks the bloody same.
15) Also - generic, bland plot.
16) Also also - the game isn't long. Although you might argue that's a blessing.
17) Not strictly game related, but if you announce a patch in the next few days, hold yourself to that. 15 days later... Still nothing.

So yeah, I don't much like it. Other people do, but I've seen very little bumming of it.

Picked this up a while ago when it was free, and am now kicking myself for waiting so long to play it. - it's brilliant. Still have two bonus chapters to play too!

I've now officially done better than last year with two weeks still to go.

53. Alien: Isolation (PS4) Stalker alien was brill. Killer robots were brill. Endless engineering tasks were so mind numbingly dull that any enjoyment I had was instantly tainted by this repetitive tedium. I'd love someone to count how many levers, locks and mini games are needed to complete the game. Come on Internet, show us what you've got.

Papo & Yo: An engaging enough wee thing and I'm glad I played it, but it gets a bit repetitive and the aesthetic that carried it so far in the demo feels stretched out somewhat over the course of the full game. Also it's not at all challenging. Also the central motif (game as therapy for game developer working through his issues with his alcoholic father) doesn't really get touched until the very end where it's all raced through in a very heavy-handed way. But! Still a fun game if you're looking for something short, interesting and relaxing. Which I was.

You can tell I'm not working right now, can't you?

The very end dragged on a little, but otherwise this was pretty enjoyable stuff. I'm in no rush to go back to it, though.

Can you tell I'm going through my iOS library desperately trying to scramble a few more games? I bought this YEARS ago and barely touched it. It's very good. Draw the path your car takes and watch it drive while giving yourself the odd nitro boost. Made by the same developer as Trials.

25. Antichamber (PC) I'll be honest, whereas I was initially enjoying it, my interest fell off a cliff after 2 hours. I was progressing, progressing, doing it, doing it, enjoying it and then I didn't know where I was going or why and I suddenly thought that I'm actually not enjoying it at all. The main reason being is that there's no narrative at all besides some "clues" on the walls and I'm not that interested in solving puzzles for the sake of it. It's too much like work. I thought I might have missed a trick about how great it was and so I read a few reviews and, boy, was everyone enjoying it loads.

So, to summarise, I'm probably wrong but I don't think it's that smart or that clever and I probably don't particularly like puzzle games much which is why I wasn't getting much out of playing it. I got properly stuck about once and had to resort to a walkthrough (most, if not all, are walkthroughs on this games are useless, given the abstract nature of the game and non-linear pathways through the game) just to find the right path to take to the next bit. Then I got moderately stuck and could probably have figured it out with a bit of time but the patience was drained and I used the walkthrough again. And then twice more. I did feel like a cheat, but I just wanted it to end by then.

That being said, like everyone on the planet, I fucking loved the Portal games so maybe if they had a narrative it'd have been much more interesting and worthwhile in my brain.

So Antichamber: If you like to solve puzzles, you might like to solve these puzzles.


I'm going on memory here but isn't that mostly what the EG review said about it as well? That it's very clever and well done but lacking a central conceit to tie it together and make it more of a coherent experience rather than just, as you say, a bunch of disparate puzzles? I'm expecting to enjoy it in part but to not really 'get' the whole thing due to a combination of the game being too obtuse and me being too stupid.


Let's see how I did against my prediction:

Did I enjoy it in part? Yep, for a short while anyway.
Did I 'get' it? Nope.
Was that due to a combination of the game being too obtuse and me being too stupid? Oh God yes.

Excellent, I was entirely correct. Antichamber: it's sort of fun for a short amount of time, and certainly has a nice aesthetic, but works much harder at poncing around being an 'experience' than it does at being a fun game. Not very recommended.

Use a walkthrough. The trippy infinite loop end level is worth seeing just because you could imagine it in a better game.

I'm usually more than happy to lean on a walkthrough but just couldn't be arsed this time around. I did try with a couple of the more advanced puzzles, but I even got bored trying to follow what some YouTube guy was showing me and my attention wandered to the point I knew I was never going to care enough. Weirdly I think it's the kind of thing I might enjoy watching a Let's Play of later on down the line as I'm sure it has some pretty surprises, but right now I'm just not bothered. Which is a shame in a way because there's a kernel of a game in there that I would adore, but something about the way it's been presented/designed is just putting me off massively.

Relatedly: the black and white aesthetic of it reminded me massively of 'The Unfinished Swan'. Which is the zenith of "beautiful and acclaimed indie game without the depth to carry it past it's single idea" but if you haven't played it you really should as it's awesome. Well, some of it's awesome and some of it's alright; but it's absolutely worth the price of entry on an aesthetic basis alone.

Yeah, I moaned about it here: viewtopic.php?style=19&f=3&t=9039&p=714217&hilit=Unfinished+swan#p714217

Too twee for my liking. If they'd do a sequel, set it in a dungeon and fire black blobs until a giant phalus is revealed implailing a guy in the head then, erm, that'd be cool maybe or something?

On the upside, your link there reminded me of how annoying creepypornangel was; so that's nice (that he's not here any more).

35. Trouserheart
36. Castle of Illusion (the Android conversion of the remake, not the original Megadrive game)
37. Tomb Raider: Underworld
38. The Wolf Among Us
39. Flyhunter Origins
40. Monument Valley: Forgotten Shores
41. Papo & Yo
42. Max and the Curse of Brotherhood: an excellent and very nice looking puzzle platformer with loads of interesting mechanics chucked in. It does get a bit repetitive by the end and some of the levels drag on a but but overall excellent stuff and much, much more fun than I was expecting.
43. Journey: Obviously I played this when it first came out but I played through it again last week. I was slightly surprised to come across other players as I assumed no one else would be playing it by now.

53. Gears of War: Judgement (360). I suppose the purpose of the 52 challenge was to clear the backlog but I kept playing new games. Still, this brought me back to that central conceit.

Finished. It was ... more Gears. But broken down to levels. Some of those levels were just hoard maps. Yup, the game actually tells you 45 seconds to next round whilst you wait and set up the defences.

I was a bit bored. It was occassionally half arsed fun and not terrible, but, I dunno, I just couldn't be bothered with it. Ah well.

Fuck sake! Three quarters of the way through God of War: Ascension and it crashed out corrupting my save game so now the game just freezes whenever I try to load it up. I was really looking forward to adding this one to my list as it would've represented finishing this year and the previous generation off properly at the same time but, although I was enjoying it and not struggling with it so would've definitely finished it otherwise, I can't be arsed played that first seven hours worth of game through again. Still, it does mean I should probably buy a PS4 tomorrow or something.

55. Sword & Scorcery EP (iOS). Graphically, this is pixel art done right. It's lovely in an Another World or Flashback kinda stylee. Musically it's lush. With the headphones on there were some cracking toons pumping out. The sound effects suited the pixel art and had some nice plinky plonky noises and 8-bit style effects; like the 8-Bit waterfall noise. All fzzzzzzzzzttt.

Same the story was largely bland nonsense. It's light hearted and well written (in its own way) but the main thrust of the story left me a bit cold.

Worse still it's broken to a point on my iPhone 5S. There's a bit when you change the moon cycle. You sit on a chair and wait for the moon to change and get up. Simples. But I can't get up on the dark moon cycle so I can't do the dark moon bit. The game then gives you a hint that you have to change the time in the app settings as an alternative!? The fuck. But the app settings are empty so I'm altering the phone date and time to move the time along. 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock. It's not fucking working. I've played it for about 2 hours I guess now so I have to resort to a walkthrough. Seems I was right: sit in the chair or change the time. The walkthrough did suggest when I'd know I'd got it as the screen would go dark blue. So I leave it at 12 midnight and change the dates... tomorrow, the day after, the day after that. 9 days later and it finally works. What a load of random, stupid tedious bullshit. There's no need for it whatsoever. What-so-ever. Up until this point it was plain sailing and, in fact, really easy. Then this!? The difficulty curve just went through the roof. This obtuse puzzle out the way I crack on and I've no problems whatsoever again. Finish the dark moon and reset my clock. Tedious fuckers. Then I come across one more puzzle: I'm in the right place holding everything that I need pressing the screen but, after, like, 3 hours playing and never doing this before I'm expected to shake the iPhone. Not once have I done it. Not once did it tell me to do it. No clue, no where. Yeah, I went back to the guide. Fuckers.

Then I rattled through and finished it. I fucking hate these obtuse puzzles. Just because you've got a phone with multiple functions doesn't mean that I have to shake, rattle and roll the fucker for every game. You want me to do something I haven't done before THEN GIVE ME A FUCKING HINT. It's all to happy to tell me to turn the screen to fight so why not a clue to shake the screen violently for THAT ONE TIME IN THE ENTIRE GAME.

Really spoiled it for me them two bits.

I couldn't care less about the ending, the music or anything else after that.

Apparently the same people are doing a game for the XBONE though with the same art style. Should be really nice if they sort themselves the fuck out.

That game has indeed lovely visuals and music (which i listen to every now and then), but the gameplay is just nonsense. I couldn't be bothered to finish it.

32. Peggle 2 (PS4) - finished Adventure Mode, all Trials, 100+ Optional Objectives

Looks like Trials Fusion slipped out of the list at some point - I've just readded it. I think I'm done now. Nothing else I'm playing has the end in sight and I've ticked off all the quick wins I can think of. Still pretty pleased with 32 though - 9 more than last year. I could probably do with spreading them out throughout the year though - I managed to complete a whopping 18 games in Nov/Dec, but nothing from June to September.

Completions by format:

PS4 - 8
iOS - 8
PS3 - 6
Vita - 3
Wii U - 3
PC - 2
3DS - 2

Bring on 2015!

Did you not play 'a dark room' or '80 days' on iOS? You should have done.

80 Days is on my wishlist. I'd not heard of A Dark Room but it looks intriguing...
