faea gaming: July 2023
thought it would be fun to catalogue all games I played in a month, regardless of how long i actually played them for. lets me give brief thoughts on games I wouldn't have a chance to talk about otherwise. starting halfway through the year because I probably forgot a lot from earlier in the year oops
☆
I log any game here that I played for any amount of time, which is why there ends up being so many games

Hope they make a new version of this with an improved RN system or something, I think that would be awesome. Shame something like that would never happen haha

Ball :) I wanted to revisit this one just because I wasn't so hot on WLK tbh, glad it wasn't me just finding Katamari less fun than I remember because I still like this one a whole lot

Like everything apart from the gameplay a lot but that itself felt a bit underwhelming? I'm quite far in, could probably beat the game in an hour or two but idk if I want to?

I love love LOVE the aesthetic here but just like D2 I get really bored of the actual gameplay really fast. Like it's okay enough when I'm playing it but I never want to pick it back up

My front room is too much of a mess to play this right now :x I will return once either my parents move their stuff out (impossible challenge) or when I move back out after the summer

I started playing it but the whole time I felt like I could just be playing Gen 1 instead and having a better time

Sad about this one, I love Hypnospace a lot but the aesthetic of this one felt like it was trying to carry the entire game. Didn't really enjoy playing, spent far more time looking for keys and doors than actually moving through the levels

I like the idea of this infinitely more than I like actually playing it

Only gave it a go because I found out that I could effectively turn off the combat (you could not describe something less appealing than topdown/isometric soulslike melee combat), but the little I played was so full of enemies and combat that honestly I dropped before I could try that. It's clear that the combat is a large part of the game, and I don't really want to play the half-game that's left if I turn that off

Interesting little project to remind myself what old Terraria was like since I'm so mixed on the modern game. I feel like if I wanted the *best* experience I probably should have played 1.2 on Expert but ah well I'm in it now

I don't like this genre and it was so overstimulating at some points that it made my head hurt so it's an incredible testament to how strong this game is that I still enjoyed it quite a lot!

Completed (one 'good' ending)
This month was a good reminder that I do not connect with queer media at all, regardless of if it's meant to be 'about' me or not. The ending I got was nice enough but I'm also put off by this 'ending-hunting' style of VN and it was definitely noticeable that I didn't get the whole story

Seems cool but tbh I'm finding the moment to moment a little boring and I'm also not huge on the "This will be remembered" popping up on like half the things I say lol, I'd rather find out that my actions have consequences a bit more organically

I like it but easily my least favourite one so far. Instead of explaining why, I want to talk about how I put a GTS trade up and called my offer NiknamePls and the person who traded me did actually bother to give it a cute nickname for me so it fits with the rest of my team!

If you love Gen 2 but haven't played Silver you owe it to yourself just because it has tons of unique sprites compared to G/C

Idk not really feeling this one? Maybe I'm not looking for the 'cool' solutions but I've never felt a reason to *not* just do the same few things over and over in every situation. Feels so routine!

Gotta admit I was more than apprehensive given my track record with popular racing games but holy crap... I get it...

i had some friends get really into sea of thieves a while back and i wanted so badly to understand what they saw in the game. the game as a concept sounds good but every time i play it, it feels a little like homework
Tunic's combat is so damn awful, and I love how their idea of accessibility was just throwing some measly game genie codes at me so I could try to jog past everything instead of just having an easy mode.
