Achievement Hunting |OT| Every point counts

Great Metroidvania that improves on the original in just about every way. Lots of fun new gadgets to find, upgrades to unlock, and characters to chat with. I ended up beating the game once, and then while looking for all the secrets came across three additional gadgets I hadn’t found before because stuff can be hidden so well. Very worth the time investment.

Just an update on my friendly completion percentage competition. I have reached the point where completing new easy games is only yielding about 2/3rds progress. As such, I am going to try to start completing games that I have already started. This will undoubtedly reduce my overall GS gains per week.

Every Gamerscore earned from now until next Monday 06:20 AM (UTC) will count towards week #203’s ranking. Every Gamerscore earned until August 1, 2024 06:20 AM (UTC) will also count towards July’s ranking.

Don’t forget that this topic is first and foremost destined to talk about all your achievements and trophies, discuss completions and even try to gather people for a boosting session! The ranking is just a side activity to take part in. Good luck everyone and happy hunting!

I generally hate Soulslike games so I was going to skip this one, but when they talked about the accessibility settings I decided to give it a try. Very cute game, fun characters, good story, and pretty good level design. I won’t comment on the combat since I absolutely cheesed my way through 99% of the game with the pistol (because of the previously mentioned hatred of Soulslikes), but I take no shame in that; if they didn’t want people to be able to do that they wouldn’t have added it as an option (unlike Flintlock, which I won’t play because they disable all achievements on Story difficulty).

Hi everyone, been awol on here for a while, pc decided to die on me and did’t have the patience to rebuild it for quite a bit but I finally bit the bullet and got it done. Been working on completions in the meantime and might do a rapid fire one sentence review for all my completions since i’ve been gone if that’s alright with y’all. Looking forward to being more active on the forms again!

Apologies in advance for what will be a long post :sweat_smile:

Completion #99: Figment Journey Into the Mind :achievement:

A little rough around the edges put still a fun game, the sequal was a nice improvment over this first instalment, but this is still worth playing!

Completion #100: Edge of Reality :achievement:

A unremarkable visual novel, it’s not bad but certainly great either, can only reccomand it for a quick completion if it’s on sale

Completion #101: Cocoon :achievement:

Feel like an outlier here but I didn’t love Cocoon, think it is a good puzzle game but I didn’t fall in love with it like everyone else seemed to have, but that’s on me and not the game, definally check it out if you haven’t already!

Completion #102: Sprite of the North Enhanced Edition :achievement:

Beautiful game, looks stunning at times, the controls are not super tight and it can get a little frustrating beacuse of that, though I still think it’s worth giving a shoot if you’re interested.

Completion #103: Another Crab’s Treasure :achievement:

Loved this game from start to finish, I highly reccomaned it to everyone, even if you don’t like souls likes it has a story mode that lets you cheese your way through if you can’t get into the souls combat.

Completion #104: Solo: Islands of love :achievement:

Cute little puzzle platformer, worth getting if you see it on sale which it often goes on.

Completion #105: Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion :achievement:

The humor and writting is funny and works well for the shorter length this game is, I enjoyed my time playing it for sure!

Completion #106: Turnip Boy Robs a Bank :achievement:

Liked the first game more but I enjoyed the fact they completly change game genres here, hope if they make more sequals they each are very different from one another!

Completion #107: Open Roads :achievement:

Short walking sim game, story is ok, not my cup of tea but it wasn’t bad.

Completion #108: Little Kitty Big City :achievement:

Had a fun time just messing around and doing cat things, hard not to get a laugh at some of the things in the game lol

Completion #109: Botany Manor :achievement:

Nice bite sized puzzle game, if you like the genre I’d give it a shot.

Completion #110: Lil Gator Game :achievement:

Fun, cozy game to get lost in for a few hours as you wonder around the world collectiong things and doing mini quests!

Completion #111: Who’s Your Daddy :achievement:

Bought this as a aprty game for friends but didn’t realize how broken the game is, do not buy this unless you want a mindless completion and nothing more , also be prepaired for the game to break constantly if you do.

Completion #112: Flintlock The Siege of Dawn :achievement:

Absolutely fell in love with the game after a little bit! The combat really opens up after a few upgrades into the different skill trees, it may seem basic at first but it truely opens up and rewards you for investing into the different abilities. I see this as a great first game with solid bones for a proper sequal, hoping the devs get the chance to do just that in ther future!

Again apologies for the super long post but wanted to give some thoughts on all the games I’ve been playing durimg my time spent awol

Thanks

I also didn’t go through it. Didn’t really interest me, and I’ve been trying to force myself to continue working on my backlog of games rather than playing a game I’m not interested in just because it’s our game of the month :slight_smile:

That’s a shame, I like following the game of the month and there were 4 really good picks last month. Wonder if people are trolling the poll lol

Yeah, seems a bit weird to vote for a game and not play it when it wins.

last month we got a lot of good games. i had time for none (voted for Golden Idol).

I watched some gameplay of it and just wasn’t interested in the least :man_shrugging:
