Favorite Game You've played this February 2022?

It looks interesting. Is it hard to see throughout the whole game?

I see, Edna & Harvey are a special type of games in art-style.

I'd play it on my phone as I feel it's not requiring me to be on the computer for such a simple game, but again, I probably need to recheck it again as I believe a lot has changed since I've tried it. I was never good at it, but not too bad either.

League of Legends has been for me the go to, until I quit back in 2019 so I can spend more time with other games, like single-players and whatnot. Don't regret it a single bit. I needed the time. Missing out so many great games.

I highly recommend The Fall. You are the onboard AI installed in a futuristic combat suit and your only reason for being is to bring your injured pilot to safety after a fall from orbit.

Woah, that sounds like a really nice plot story. 😦

What I like is that you aren't a smooth-talking, wise-cracking companion. You are primarily designed for aim-assist and emergency life-saving interventions in combat scenarios, and are completely out of your element when it comes to interactions with others. Most of the other characters you encounter are similarly-limited AIs of military or civilian nature, each with their own guiding programming that leads them to behave differently than any human would. All of the AI interactions are limited by their programming. For example, there's a scene where you cannot progress without lying but your programming prohibits you from selecting that option even though you know it's the only way forward.

It's quite fascinating, and all this is wrapped in a rather good story (and a slightly clunky UI). And then, the sequel kicks it up a notch by making perception and motivation core gameplay mechanics. It's just wonderful, and I can't wait for part 3.

Had no idea the game is that good in the story department. You got me intrigued. I've seen the game many times on SG, but never really 100% thought it's got a good story as you've described it, let alone, have a sequel as well. Very interesting game.

I'll wishlist it, and if it comes to terms to play it, I will. I doubt it's long.

No, I don't mind playing a mix of genres. I am quite opened to anything really, unless the game decides to all the sudden play sports and the next minute goes from puzzle, to shooter to RPG. That may be confusing and weird all together. 🤣

If it's a mix of action-adventure-RPG with maybe strategic elements, I feel I can enjoy that. If you include rogue-like elements that's also acceptable. But if it turns out to be more, I'm not sure how I'll feel about it.

But who knows? I mean, in the end, trying something new is what matters and I like when games explore my comfort zone a little bit.

That's fine. Games are games, no matter what type and what they are played on. Mobile games are a lot more improved lately, although they are mainly afk based or something to allow people to have spare time in between and not stay with their phones in their face 24/7.

Looks like an interesting platformer, was it challenging?

Yes my favourite visual novel is fruit of grisaia. It was one of my first and I just fell in love. As you can see I got a nice row of those characters, my top badge + profile picture is of my favourite girl ever from that game. I own the anime and a figurine of my favourite girl.

Woah, that's quite the dedication for a game. I admire that! 👏🏻

Kindred Spirits is one of my favourite yuri which is girl + girl. You can see my badges, I own the videos + the manga which I'm yet to read.

The name reminds me of my previous named Instagram account. My wife used to manage an Instagram page called Kindred Spirits and I did Kindred Souls. Still doing it now, just that there's no more Kindred Spirits. 🤔

Ozmafia is a pretty good otome (male interests, female mc) Its like fairy tale characters like red riding hood, wizard of oz, hansel and gretel. First thing I ever brought with steam points was for a background in this game, £5 was a bit expensive so I was overjoyed getting it finally thanks to the new system which I still use

I've spent a lot more than £5 on my profile. I don't regret it. 🤣

You can get some stories with an English voice over. Off the top of my head theres my lady and lake of voices. I don't really like voice overs, it kinda puts me off. Like I wanna hear the sound but then I'm reading faster then they are speaking so I have to just mute the game.

If they are done well, I like to listen. I prefer audiobooks over reading books as my mind tends to wonder a lot when I read.

Thank you for the lists, I will wishlist this visual novels and see if ever I get my hands to play such games, I will see. Are they more oriented towards female or male audience? I'm a bit confused. I mean, I don't have a problem, but as a guy, I do like the protagonist to sometimes be a male, as I can identify with it better. It's not a must, but I do like that.

Send them to my wife as she loves visual novels.

The timing was just a coincidence really, but I'm looking forward to the 3rd game .. when it becomes really cheap so don't think it would be anytime soon.

While doing my listings, I discovered too. I've also purchased the first 2 as I plan to play them some day.

A FPS game, but the setting is pleasantly colorful .. it is SP campaign game, but it can also be played in 2 player co-op .. sadly co-op is laggy and has connection issues.

I would have loved to play this one co-op with my wife, but oh well. Sad. 😥

Journey, Ghostrunner and Control all their gog versions were given free on Amazon prime all from the same publisher 505 Games .. and all of them are really good games

I do check often on Amazon Prime, I think I must have missed it or I already have them. I got Control already on Steam and I think on Amazon Prime too.

I Also played Ghostrunner expansion Project_Hel which was released almost a week ago, really good dlc .. I do hope this game will get more content.

Oh I see? I had no idea. I may need to revisit it as I finished it last year, although I didn't go over all achievements. Quite a difficult game.

Actually Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake not a remaster . it was fantastic though I never played its original game

That's good! Because I really loved the Mafia 1 & 2. It deserved a good remake.

As for Mafia II (Classic) I downloaded it because it was small in size (about 9GB) and I was running out of data quota last month .. I purchased Mafia trilogy last month so Mafia II Definitive Edition (& Mafia III Definitive Edition) are also included .. will download them in the near future.

Mafia II Classic is great but has one really annoying issue for me:
on the new laptop (the one with RTX 2070) I get some black textures that lead to couple of seconds freeze and then crash to desktop .. this happen from 15 to 40 mins of playing
On the older laptop (with geforce 840M) it never crashes
I hope the remastered won't have this constant crashing issue on the new laptop.

Actually the Definitive Edition of the Mafia 2 is known to be buggy and reviews were quite harsh on it when it launched. People got unhappy with it.

🤣🤣🤣 You got me with the last part.

Let me know about it, I'm a old time fan of the franchise and I follow closely the evolution of the franchise. Played everything except Valhalla, as I'm waiting to feel like spending 200+ hours in a game can be quite a drag. I hate that about the recent AC's, as some areas should not be that massive. Although I appreciate their effort on recreating or creating historical location pretty accurately.

Oh it was you who mentioned it earlier. Was going over the whole comments and didn't notice. 🤣

the complex and a few others are really just interactive movies: watch a scene, make a decision, another scene, another decision, etc. k

Oh, so similar to Telltale Games, but with real actors?

kinda like a visual novel or choose your own adventure book/game, but I have a soft spot for fmv in games and cheesy b-movies in general, so they're perfect for me, even if they're often not movies I'd watch normally.

This reminds me of some similar things seen on YouTube back in 2010 or 2012. People used to make decision games and based on each one, you'll be redirected to a new video. It was fun.

detroit and other recent quantic dream stuff is more involved. not a lot more, but you're moving around, tons of qte, so they can be more stressful. I watched let's plays of heavy rain and beyond since I was never gonna have a console, but they released them all on pc before I could watch detroid, so I might as well play it myself at some point. gonna do heavy rain and beyond too, might as well make my own decisions.

Didn't play the two, but they are on my wishlist and I will get to play them 100%. I'm all for the good story driven games.

That's a pretty horse. Btw, how is EXEL II? Since I saw you playing it. 😄

I think it makes a lot of sense. I'm used to playing strategy or similar games with RAID. Half-AFK and Half-Interactive so I don't do too much on it. I can leave it running while I work and I don't spend much time in front of my screen. It's easier for me. If I was to be more interactive with my games, I'd probably pick any kind of genre. But your game looks nice, so props for that!

Yeah, I've seen that and I've avoided spoilers. Didn't even watch a video, besides the trailer, which is kinda mysterious of itself. I will play it, but was it long?

+1 on the space aspect, especially if you're a completionist!

Wasn't really thinking I'll go with that, but more with the character really, to fit it's theme. But, thank you! I try to be, for the games I enjoy, I try to complete them, if not the story if it has one, or the most part if it's a sandbox experience, with infinite repeatability.

100%'d Primal and almost immediately jumped into 4. I got to about 80% on 4 before feeling burned out, and got to 90% before putting it down.

The newer the game, the bigger it gets according to what I've seen from Ubisoft. It keeps you in it for days on end, but most of the time, only far in between the game is fun if you think about it. As an Assassin's Creed fan, I can see that with recent games. I do feel Fry Cry is very much the same, but with FPS elements. The things that hold me together is the main campaign and my ill mind to get every single collectable, do every single side quest and explore every nook and cranny of the map.

I sometimes need time to play something more linear or smaller by size because I just get drained out. It's good to jogle in between several genres to not get burned out and quit before I finish the game. I always leave the campaign for last in most cases. I tend to go for side quests and exploration first. Once the area is clean, I do the main mission.

3 is the "big one", haven't touched it yet but got it from Ubisoft for free :)

I'm surprised you've decided to play them in a different order for release. Unless a game has a chronology to it, I'd never play newer to then old. The only one I can recall doing that was Halo, played Reach then Halo CE which had luckily an visual update, but was missing out on some content, to just follow the story-line from there.

I tend to appreciate games that kinda slowly show how much they have evolved graphically and sometimes gameplay wise.

That's good to know. I'm glad CD Project Red made sure their game is in a functional way. I think the story was finished as far as I've heard even before, but there were some issues with some side quests.

I just can't so early access. Some get abandoned, some change and become unrecognizable, some change their direction completely and what I liked about the games is no longer there, some add too much content after I'm already done with the game. It takes me years to think about replaying a game, no matter how much I enjoy it, when I'm done I'm done. That's why I prefer to wait until a game is in its final form, no matter how many years it takes. If I'm still interested in it by then, I'll play it, if not, oh well. Until then, early access games will stay tucked away in my wishlist.

The game is priced well in my opinion. A game that is below £20 that is also great is a treat.

Yeah, well for that price is a real treat.

L4D didn't keep me either. I only dipped my toes in the game for a while.

I can't say I do enjoy necessarily games like that to be honest to play a long time, although I had my addiction with other repetitive games like MOBA's.
