did not go as planned

I was going to see all the endings then wrap up some cheevos I didn't take care of but I ended up playing the credits game and I got help from a previous player's sacrifice (ty Hoppy from Taiwan who likes 9S) but while playing I took a hit and Hoppy's data was deleted, which I didn't know could happen. so when they asked me if I wanted to sacrifice my save data for another player, which I planned to do eventually, I couldn't say no because I didn't want Hoppy's sacrifice to be in vain.
(come to think of it they might not have meant Hoppy's data was removed from the server but I was pretty tired)
so I left the game finished but at like 80% completion w/r/t missions and poo poo. calling this one done until I'm not sad anymore

I guess this counts. bought it on a steam sale not knowing what it was. it's an escape room game. takes maybe an hour.
going in blind was kinda fun though. it's a bit like The Static Speaks My Name in that it doesn't give you a lot of context or tell you who the protagonist is or what they're doing but you can tell there's something off

it's kind of surprising how much donut county sucks because it's a katamari rip-off and katamari owns, but everything that works in katamari just doesn't work in donut county
the levels are too small, there's not enough stuff in them, and just on a basic level it doesn't make sense because why would a hole get bigger when you put stuff in it?

in katamari, there's a great sense of progression because stuff that blocks your way (or is literally the ground you walk on) eventually you're rolling up into your cute growing chaos ball. you can't block a hole in the ground

and it's non-linear- it's thrilling when you get your katamari big enough to pick up traffic cones right when you're at a big line of traffic cones, you feel like you're nailing it.
donut county, if it's not time for you to collect that yet, you just don't collect it and find something you can, and it's just like rock -> bigger rock -> bigger rock -> oh the level's over

I give indie games a lot of leeway, but at some point I just had to admit I wasn't having fun

the nemesis system never seemed that cool to me because I never got any of the revenge mechanics or recurring dudes
I think maybe because all I did was kill them (but like... why wouldn't I???)
it was just this endlessly replenishing chessboard of orc boys that the game would say were "enraged by spiders" or "flatulent" or whatever. idk dude seems to me like they all die the same

are you supposed to beat Oxenfree a certain number of times? on my second run I collected all the letters and found all the rock radio thingers and got the ending where you don't go to the island, which seemed like a logical closure point, but there's still an option to continue. would I just be sending the perspicacious teens back to hell? hmhmhm

Neversong

it was ok
short, intuitive indie puzzle platformer with simple but smooth hack n slash combat. dug the atmosphere and the setting
but I'm getting pretty sick of games revealing near the end that whatever you thought was going on isn't happening because it's actually a metaphor
hey, metaphors supposed to make both kinds of sense. you don't tell the story of the grasshopper and the ant by going "the grasshopper and the ant strapped on their jetpacks to shoot lasers through the 8 sinister worlds of dr. catastrophe!" and then at the end go "the grasshopper woke up in a frozen winter hellscape. no food. his friend the ant was nowhere to be seen" what the gently caress are you talking about?
just let me go on an adventure for gently caress's sake. and sto making me straight

it played a cutscene, I'm counting it

this is probably the best I've ever done at, whatever this type of game is
it has a nice smooth learning curve ala Don't Starve where you figure poo poo out just from playing
I restarted like 3 times, not out of frustration, just like "ok I could have done this way better"

I could probably keep improving, there's a lot of micromanaging that I'm pretty sure I could fully automate, but gently caress it, Psychonauts 2 awaits

I think you know in your own heart if you beat a game or not. no one's looking over your shoulder

if you use save states in mario world but only because you don't want to waste time going all the way back to top secret area and then star world to get your favorite color yoshi again, to me that's just being sensible
but if you used them because you can't beat Outrageous... like, c'mon

how'd you like it? i liked it the whole way through. it was really weird to have a huge lore dump at the very end though. didn't really fit the tone of the rest of the game. i don't even remember what it was about.
I skipped that cutscene lol
no idea what was going on by the end

I wasn't going to post my thoughts because, I don't have much to say about all the ways that it's good, and it would take a while to explain the things I didn't like, and I didn't want to sit here mostly bitching about a good game that I enjoyed

I guess I could just say I liked it? I somehow bought it without knowing about its big gimmick, so that was a cool turn. I liked the moment-to-moment gameplay, it's really good at getting you into the zone

I mostly just hated some of the layout choices
time gates blocking the only entrance to an area so you have to backtrack to get in there in the other time period, and maybe there's a secret there or maybe it's just an unclimbable wall, and in either case you'll probably have to backtrack again
screens that punish you for rushing in with instant kill smashers, which, fine, whatever, I don't have a problem with that on principle, but the rest of the game makes rushing in feel loving awesome, and they're always like 5 screens deep from the last checkpoint, so I keep getting into a flow on the way there and then blundering into the same deathtrap like an rear end in a top hat
also the shopkeeper's music kept getting stuck in my head
I guess that's it

Sethian

learning the grammar of a made-up alien language to get information from one of their computers is a cool idea, but it has all the problems of normal text parsers except in a made up alien language, and the game is more about... uh, like, the philosophical question of whether self-determination is more valuable than lasting contentment? and it's so excited to get there that it basically leads you by the nose for the entire ~2 hours of game

I only played the NES version of Elevator Action and I don't know why I'm surprised to learn there was a better arcade version, that's very normal

but I did play Elevator Action Returns in the Taito Legends 2 collection and it blew my mind because it's basically exactly how I imagined Elevator Action to be before I actually played it
