December::..

1. Echo Beach
​I can't even call this a pleasant surprise, I expected the game to be my kind of thing. Still, the execution is better than I expected it and puzzles are really crunchy. I also learned few things as I was searching for solutions on web. The game itself has a very sentimental feeling. Basically, you're helping an oppressive system to arrest the good guys and if you want to continue, you have no choice to sabotage it. The game is also about the system, which leaves no space for hobbies in pursuit of more productivity (capitalism, baby). I'm glad I played it.
Play it for free here.

2. Iris and the Giant
This is charming game in many ways but after four (unsuccessful) runs, it left me hungry for something chunkier. Basically, the game is a roguelike deckbuilder with some light rpg elements. If you can count passive boosts as rpg elements. The puzzle is quite satisfying as you are trying to kill three rows of monsters with your cards and survive and I like it the most in special "mind challenge" optional arenas. The thing is that your hand management feels too reliant on chance and there often isn't really space for strategy and getting better at the game, especially because regular cards don't go back to your deck and get burnt instead. Running out of cards means game over. Also, the two layers of story don't work for me. I feel like the part about a girl using this imaginary demons to overcome her real life problems could have been done way better.

3. Galak-Z
This is a fun twin stick shooter, but I'm in no mood for mastering its controls on keyboard. The gameplay feels satisfying with things exploding well otherwise. I might return to this if I get my hands on a controller.

4. Cat Quest
Cat Quest is a trully charming game. I think my only complain is that it relies on its kitty gimmick too much sometimes and that makes the world less interesting. But outside of that I love all of the choices the devs went with. The game is heavily focused on side quests and dungeon clearing and both movement and fighting feels satisfying. Ways to improve your character are light and slightly automated but them being streamlined fits the bite sized nature of the game. One thing I absolutely adore is the map. Scale-wise it's somewhere between a regular map and a world map, it might remind you of maps from old Fire Emblem games methink. Good stuff.

here or on facebook?

I can't promise it yet, but January should be pretty chill month for me (this weekend is hell, tho) and I would love to host. I will try to create a setup and post signups over the Christmas.

I love after action reports of Paradox games. There are many creative ways to approach the narrative.
I also like Marrend's LPs, but I usually stop following them half-way through for no real reason.
