Games Im Playing/Have Played This Summer

This list is kind of dumb ngl, these arent summer based games or anything, its just stuff I want to play during the holidays and stuff.

Hades
Hades
Maybe this will finally be the Supergiant game I finally like.
Edit : Finished 18/06/2023
Spoiler alert : I didnt like it all that much
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII
lets see now
Edit : Abandoned 20/08 Maybe this was a bad pick for the first final fantasy game I played but I suspect this series just isnt for me. The combat is good, but the cast and general plot is just mostly boring. I have only played for 5 hours (which is more than I would give most games tbh so this is more than fair) but aside from some interesting themes broached, the cast and setting is just lame overall. I move on to something I might enjoy better
Vanquish
Vanquish
its time
Edit : Finished 21/07 Man, great first half, shitty second half
This War of Mine
This War of Mine
Long time coming again, Im interested in what it has to offer
EDIT : Shelved at 25/06 Idk I think its somewhat compelling but let down by its length and seemingly hobbesian view portraying conflict as closer to a zombie apocalypse
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4
The One Piece is Real!
Edit : Shelving 09/08 Man, these musou type games are fun but playing them for a while gets pretty tiresome. I'm 50% through the story, I think I'll finish the remaining half at a later date
Venba
Venba
looks like kino
edit Im not in the mood rn for this bullshit
Rollerdrome
Rollerdrome
Apparently there are cheats to make the game easier. I will 100% use those
Edit : Abandoned on 19/06/2023
Turns out, being given an absurd buff isnt enough, I just dont enjoy the basic framework and mechanics of the game, oh well.
The Sexy Brutale
The Sexy Brutale
Its been on my list for a while, might be kino
Edit : Finished 29/06 It is... mid
Observation
Observation
Long time coming

Mutazione
Mutazione
Gotta finish that Pentiment inspiration list

The friends of Ringo Ishikawa
The friends of Ringo Ishikawa
A very polarizing game seemingly
Edit : Finished 15/07 Really liked it but falls off towards the end

Dark Void
Im curious as to why it was hated
Edit : Abandoned 27/06 - Yep, I can see why

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
Got a lot of buzz last year idk
Edit : I think I need a higher dosage of ADHD meds cause my ass cannot stop dropping these games. Its fine I just dont care
Wide Ocean Big Jacket
Wide Ocean Big Jacket
I liked the Dev's most recent work "Before the Green Moon"
Edit : Finished 08/08 That was great, honestly. Delightful in its structure and dialogue. It feels both reminiscent of film and even graphic novels but in a clever way thats only really possible as a videogame, great stuff
Ikenfell
Ikenfell
Recommended by EVX also looks like a cool little turn based rpg to play on the plane ride back
Edit : Shelving it for now, theres nothing wrong with it, its just not really grabbing me.
The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
I played the demo today and apparently it releases in a couple of hours? Its pretty cool.
Edit : Finished 24/06 The game did not really live up to my expectations, but it was ok
Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
I dont know, seems polarising, might be filtered by it
Edit : Finished 19/08/2023 Incredible game, loved it.
Zanki Zero: Last Beginning
Zanki Zero: Last Beginning
Post apocalyptic dungeon crawler
edit : get fucked
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine
I dont remember why I dropped this, but I guess we'll find out
Edit : Dropped 30/06 I wouldnt say this game is necessarily bad? But its flawed. I think if it plays its cards right it might become a cult hit
That Which Gave Chase
That Which Gave Chase

Edit : Finished 25/06 Wow, that was a lot more boring than I thought it would be
Harmony: The Fall of Reverie
Harmony: The Fall of Reverie

Edit : Finished 12/06
Before the Green Moon
Before the Green Moon
Some sort of subversive farm sim I found on my steam discovery queue
Edit - Finished 07/07 Great game. Uses the farm sim framework to explore the mundane lives of people trying to get by

SharpShooter3D

Windfolk: Sky Is Just the Beginning
Windfolk: Sky Is Just the Beginning
jetpacks
Edit Abandoned 22/07 this game is like 2 hours long and I still couldnt be assed to finish it. Just generally amateurish and tedious. Why have I played not one but two shitty jetpack games here?
Druidwalker
Druidwalker
it caught my eye and no one's written about it so fuck you Im adding it
EDIT : Finished 18/06 Okay this game kicks ass, its a 0 tutorialisation roguelike, short but sweet
The Burrito Quest
The Burrito Quest
weird curator discovery

Short VNs serve as nice bite sized palate cleansers between big stodgy games
Edit : Finished 08/08 Yeah its a PSA pretty much, idk its fine for what it is and I guess I learned something
Traveler's Game
Traveler's Game
VN/RTS hybrid which caught my attention cause, well the genre mix alone
Edit : Finished 01/08 It has a lot of charm, but it outstays its welcome unfortunately
Be A Rock
Be A Rock
Idk this one is just funny
Edit - Abandoned 12/07 It just sucks. It uses basic Unreal Quixel bridge assets and super obvious AI images for cutscenes. Pretentious as all hell and just boring
If: Walls Could Answer
If: Walls Could Answer
looks cool ig
Edit : Finished 02/08 Repetitive if semi enjoyable puzzles and a pretentious story that would put student films to shame
