Favorite game of January 2022?

Probably it hasn't got that much due to my first impression looking quite dedicated to niche players of that genre.

Is the game good? I've funnily recommended it in my list of games on Youtube. 😉

That's awesome! I have this game on my wishlist too, but I forgot about it. 😅

I'm glad you like it! I've got plans to play it once I get my hands on it.

Just Cause 3 from 2015.

Fave game of Jan as this is what I'm playing right now and I'm loving it.

Sort by Date and you see I started it in Feb 2016, played for a couple months then started playing again in Jan 2022.
I'm not an achievement hunter but got a few just by playing. I'll go do a few as I play if I remember to check what they are. :)
Just Cause 3 Achievments

Achievements make me want to play more the game and be more attentive to details. Explore areas I'd never go with. I love to hunt achievements for games I enjoy as it extends my play-through. I used to have a time where I'd not be able to finish a game, because it didn't feel rewarding.

I had played JC2 back before my steam days and loved it. So when I saw this game on Steam I got it.

I've played last year JC2, but I didn't manage to finish it. Didn't click completely with me although I wanna get all the map to 100%. I'll return to it some day.

Just Cause 4 Complete Edition

JC3 is the first and only game I've bought full price (other then a few small indi games). But considering how much I have played it and loved it. I have no issues with it other then knowing it dropped shortly after I bought it. That stung a bit but I do feel I've got my value out of it.

Wow! You've paid a lot for Just Cause 3. You must have gotten it when it was out?

A few weeks ago I asked for recommendations on casual creature capture/battle RPG games, and although I ended up not really playing any creature capture games I've decided to cave in and buy Archvale for the full price (was waiting to see if it will go on sale for Chinese New Year for maybe a 10% or 20% off... It didn't lol). I've been wanting to play the game ever since watching devlogs of the game like years ago, and watching some other youtubers play the game when it got released really made me want to scratch my itch and buy the game right away.
It is by no means a "perfect" or even "finished" game, and I can write multiple paragraphs talking about suggestions and/or criticisms about the game at its current stage, but holy shit I loved every second that I put into the game. It was the most fun around the first 3-4 hours and then the progression of the game got rather boring, but a mixture of Terraria (in its crafting system and some of the weapons) and Gungeon (mainly regarding its bullet-hell) into a Bullet-Hell RPG is just SO fun.

Sometimes a game doesn't have to be perfect, well polished to be a good game worth experiencing. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. It's good that you've shared your thoughts about it.

Sorry for having to make you read through lengthy rumbly paragraphs lol, but it is without a doubt my most favorite game I've played this year yet, and I'd even put it in my top 10 games.

By no means, please don't be sorry. I appreciate when people take some of their time to write to me or others. It's a very nice thing to see, honestly!
