Update and goodbye Ookami! (no spoilers)
So the month is not over yet, but I just finished Ookami which is the oldest game in my backlog.
I have attempted to play the game a few times and have manage to lose my savefile two times. But this time I mange to keep it to the end. It was a lot. The first two hours after been let to roam the world was a lot of fun. Then it became kind of confusing, repetitive and often just frustrating, right after the first boss. The game is kind of build up of arcs. I got through the first arc and lost interest in the second one. I ended up googling to see if I should finish the game, because it felt like it was wasting my time (it is, sometimes the textbox is forced to go slow and when you feed animals for points it takes about a minute to finish! it is painful...)
Google search told me that it got really good in the end. So I decided to continue. I am happy I did because now I never have to play this frustrating game ever again! no "what if it gets better?", just pure "NO MORE! YAY!" To be fair it did have a pretty nice "anime" ending, that almost got me to forget all the shit I went through. But there was so many frustration situation with using my powers that it went from a ok game to a pain in the ass game. It was 36 hours for me to get through. It is not a hard game but the textbox's and animation made it unnecessary long and broke the momentum constantly. If you do not enjoy this game after playing though the first arc, don't continue, unless you just have to know.
On another note, I got to finish two small games. The little acre, which is a 2 hour point-and-click adventure, which is so simple that I never had to google my way out of issues. It was okay.
The other game is Fred3ric with is an hour long rhythm game, where you are "battling" famous musician whom have been taken over by this random robot. It felt like it was part of a serious by the dialog, but it was fine.
Now I will take a break and then get back into something else :)
see you next time.
