The game looked the most accessible (broad genre, not social management game, not an rts tower defense, not a souls-like, not a time trial twitch game, etc) , interesting, and chill to everyone from the early trailers out of all the choices. I loaded into the game, messed around a bit, started following the story, messed around a bit more, then decided the game wasn’t providing the experience I thought it might. Well, more specifically it didn’t translate into something to keep my interest. Perhaps others had something similar happen?
I wouldnt take it that far, but it wasn’t what I was looking for right now. Before I was thinking its control scheme might be more casual like The Touryst or Tunic. It also didnt feel as casual as Little Gator, and I still need to get back to that one.
I did move on to Immortals Fenyx Rising. That’s scratching the itch, for now.
And here is the current points ranking for Season 8:

Every Gamerscore earned from now until next Monday 06:20 AM (UTC) will count towards week #204’s ranking. Every Gamerscore earned until September 1, 2024 06:20 AM (UTC) will also count towards August’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!
We haven’t done a poll for August’s game yet, but the only new one that I know of is Creatures of Ava. Are there any others that should be included in a poll, or does Ava win by default?
It’s time to vote fro our Gamepass game of the month for August! Now, because there was only one new game listed for August, we’re going to include options from last month as well.
Creatures of Ava
Flock
Dungeons of Hinterberg
Kunitsu-gami: Path of the Goddess
Magical Delicacy
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
0voters
This poll will stay open for roughly 48 hours, so be sure to vote!
I know Flintlock most likely not win so I’ll just say it again, please give it a shot. The game is great and for a souls-lite it’s honestly pretty easy overall so don’t be afraid because of the genre!
I would play it on normal anyway, but things like that rubs me the wrong way. Why have accessibility options but then go “hah, but no achievements for you!” ?
That’s what I’ve heard, but it feels like such a strange thing for them to do. Just make a “Completed the game on Normal difficulty or higher” achievement like every other game if you want people to be able to tell if others played on Story or not.
Exactly. Celeste and Another Crab’s Treasure did it perfectly in my mind: add accessibility options that make the game massively easy for those that want them, and don’t punish those people by disabling achievements. They don’t have any actual worth anyway, so why take them away from people?
