The numbers in August were not as great as other month (except with the playtime) but still great job to everyone who participated! Better less than none :)

  • 5147 achievements have been achieved
  • 2081.7 hours have been played
  • 189 games have been beaten
  • 76 people have participated and beaten at least one game.

Hope to see you all again this month :)

Due to timezones/people not being online 24/7 I am still accepting any edits/applications for August for the next couple of days (till the August thread is closed).


The theme for this month is

Hello World!

(Thank you to Ardiffaz for the suggestion!)

Well, I've finished Terra Incognita Ch.1!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was. The game is surprisingly detailed, there are just some bugs in it every now and then (and I feel the quest system needs some polishing up). I can tell the dev spent a lot of time crafting everything, and it can be a pretty awesome game in the end -- hope they make Ch. 2 and the final chapter!

Maybe I can cram in a game... it would be neat to have another game crossed off.
Baba is You would be perfect and maybe I'll try it, but I don't really want to rush it. Maybe another puzzle or something... I believe :D

I just checked hltb and I'm so surprised it says 4 hours! I know a couple people who played it and they got stuck on puzzles for 45+ mins. Looks like such an interesting game though, hope you enjoy it. :)

Seen a comment about their first, blind playthrough took 45 hours. I start to think that hard games are borked on HLTB, like people uploading bragging times instead of real ones. Recently played Seraph - took 11 hours while the site said 5. Hyper Light Drifter's 5-ish also quite impossible unless playing with a guide, because navigation is hell in that game. I need to activate I think 4 regions, with 4 energy 'slivers' each (I'm pretty unsure, game in nonverbal) and it took me about 2 hours to get 3 slices in ONE region. HLTB is just drunk with some games. Baba is You surely won't get done by Monday's noon, with most of my Sunday also spent at a family gathering. Maybe something else...

Yeah I'm not positive what they consider the main game vs the + extras either, so maybe they're just skipping a lot of levels.
The games I find to be the most off consistently for me are rogue-likes/lites. Apparently people speed through them way quicker than I can, even having played a fair amount. It makes sense that puzzle/p&c games that have guides easily accessible would also have skewed results. The Baba is You speedrun is 5 minutes, if you have the solutions memorised. After seeing a handful of levels being played by a streamer, I know I'd be stumped for quite some time as well. :) Definitely think it'd be best without any time pressure!

Mostly the values from astats.nl are way more fitting in my opinion.

For your examples:
Baba is you
Seraph
Hyper Light Drifter

Yes! I checked it too, and they were pretty much on point. Interestingly the easier, railroaded games (corridor shooters, point and click adventure ones, even simpler puzzles) are accurate. Maybe I was just unlucky with these

Well, my Sunless Sea run ended at 39 hours in when a terror monster got my crew insane and made them murder me, forcing a full restart since rogue-like.
Not really up to restarting from scratch (even liking the game) and with a huge backlog I'll throw in the towel. Not sure how well it counts for completion (or not), guess it doesn't really matter much at this point anyway.
Game's great, had fun, should have turned on manual save instead of the full experience with one-save. Oh well... onto the next game :)

Oh that can sure count as beaten :) I set the status to beaten on the site and approved it. All but one giveaway is still running so feel free to check them out :)

Thanks. At one point I understand why it's rogue (since it kinda reduces the tension and desperiation of all to save) on the other hand, maybe if your game is like 50 hours maybe it shouldn't be rogue. Then again, I could have just enabled manual saving so it's all my fault, but I was kind of struggling getting stats anyway (getting 175 skill required checks and me at 50 without any seemingly good way to raise anymore) so I guess it was a good ending point after all.

And that means next month (this month?) a new game instead of a 3rd repeat as I originally planned XD

50 hours seems like waaaay too much for a rogue-like indeed o.o
I hope you will enjoy whatever you decide to play next :)
