One of the most beloved classic adventure games of the ’90s, Day of the Tentacle, returns in a beautifully remastered version that breathes new life into a quirky, time-traveling tale.
Playing My Steam Library
So many unplayed games in my library… Let’s play them all!
Keeping the King in the Dark
This week, a simple game about growing and expanding a small kingdom. Coated with gorgeous pixel-art, this simple game has more depth to it than you realise. It’s both an adventure in discovering mechanics, and an enjoyable roguelite challenge.
Super Meat Boy is a Challenge
Years ago I played a challenging flash game called “Meat Boy”, in which you had to speed-run levels, avoiding obstacles. Later, a sequel would be released across multiple platforms, and from what I heard it was a good game. I never found out because I never played it.
It’s a Small World Indeed
Another board game adaptation, Small World is a fun, short game that can be played in about 30 minutes. It’s a very simple game, but it has depth to it that makes it difficult to master.
Finally Playing Borderlands 2
When I first moved to China I was working for 2K Games China. The project was to be Borderlands Online, but it was unfortunately cancelled before release. Despite this, I never got around to playing Borderlands 2. I played the first game, but never the second.
The Banner Saga: A Story of War
The Banner Saga is part tactical combat game, part interactive story. It’s a game that absorbs you into an entirely new fantasy world. It’s a story of heroes, but also one of survival, as you also will need to maintain your supplies and the people that follow you.
Frostpunk: An Empty Victory
When I finished one of Frostpunk’s campaigns for the first time I didn’t feel like I had won. I felt hollow and empty, like a part of my soul had been taken from me. I had won. But at what cost.
Portal 2: This Was a Triumph
I’ve played through this classic game before, but apparently I’ve never played it through Steam. So for the sake of completeness I decided to revisit the game so I can add another notch to my Steam bedpost. Any excuse to play through this fantastic sequel again.
Western Press: An Empty World
Set in the Wild Wild West, Western Press is a game focused on pistol duelling. You need to be quick on the draw at dawn, at dusk, or at any other time.
RISK: Global Domination
The classic board game brought to Steam. It’s a fun, if frustrating experience. After a steep learning curve I started to get a handle on the game, but I’ve still a ways to go.
