Monthly in a Month #9: The Watchmaker edition

I don't have much time this month but I hope I got time to complete these ones:

11-11 Memories Retold Completed
Catherine Classic Completed
Late Shift Completed
Mr. Shifty Completed
Smile for me Completed
Tsioque Completed

Edit: Done!

That sounds like fun. I do have an unreasonable amount of unplayed games.

So here the games I will try to finish:

1. Sunless Sea
2. Catherine Classic
3. Bad North
4. This is the Police
5. Whispers of a Machine
6. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

Good luck to all!

Just to be sure, is completing the campaign (achievements name it tutorial campaign) in Townsmen enough? The game also has a lot of stand-alone scenarios, but no way I'm willing to do all of those (the campaign already covers everything the game has to offer, the scenarios are just more of the same).

Should all the six games be Humble Bundle monthly choice or some of them ?

Hey! :D

1. Little Nightmares - achievements
2. TSIOQUE - achievements
3. Youropa - achievements
4. Little Misfortune - achievements

Happy Cake Day CJ!

I lack the time for this unfortunately but I agree, daylight savings just makes a mess of things. Happy cakeday btw!

I've always wanted to try this but can usually get through a couple games in a month. I'm heading into a nice five day weekend and already have a couple complete so going to try!

Also, let me know if I'm doing anything wrong with the games I have listed. I wasn't sure what would be good criteria for completing Grid so went with the last career achievement.

Rover Mechanic Simulator - 100% Achievements
Crying Suns - Achievements unlocked for beating game
Grid Ultimate Editions - Achievement Best of the Best
Yakuza 0 - In progress
Little Misfortune - In progress
TBD!

Just had to try for Control... 🤩🤞

Okay, hopefully seventh time's a charm as I really need a break from these, but it's really hard not to participate! Many thanks as always Cjcomplex :)

Here we go:
1 Hitman 2 - achievements

It's really just the second part of the 'first' Hitman and in this case it's great. More missions means more sandbox fun. I truly had a fantastic time playing both games.

2 Tsioque - achievements

Another beautifully drawn short adventure game for younger audience. It was okay, but I'm glad i had it from a bundle, as there are better ones in that category (e.g. The Inner World).

3 Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first sin - achievements

That was my second souls game after DS3 and my inner rebel really wanted to like it more as it is the least loved part of the series. Sadly that wasn't the case. It's not all bad though - story is certainly clearer if not plainly better, I also liked the more melancholic vibes (as opposed to apocalyptic themes in DS3). Combat was a let down - almost every boss can be dealt with by clinging to his/her rear. They also don't have the presence or grativas like say Abyss Watchers or Pontiff Sulyvahn from ds3. The fights are simply not memorable. That beign said, the game itself was harder (for me at least) than ds3. Gank squads, npc invasions, lots of areas where you can fall, that can certainly be a postiive for someone, but I don't think I'll be replaying it anytime soon.

4 The Suicide of Rachel Foster - achievements

Ugh, that was awful. I don't want to spoil the story but it's really nonsense. The game itself is a railroady experience certainly inspired by Firewatch and Gone Home (both much, much better games). Shame cause the setting had at least some potential.

5 The Sexy Brutale - achievements

Oh, I liked that one. The premise of one day repeating over and over again is my soft spot - I first seen such thing in Xena: The Warrior Princess episode back in the late 90s. Then came The the Day of the Hedgehog, The Day After Tomorrow etc. In Sexy Brutale its merged with classic Agatha Christe whodounit and almost metroidvanialike exploring, unlocking new powers. Short fun game, recommended.

6 Desert Child - achievements

Best thing about Desert Child is surely its presentation. Soundtrack is fantastic, I also really liked the graphic style. Unfortunately the racing part is really basic. There are a few different stages, you can change weapons or upgrade your bike, but still each race feels the same, be it the very first one or the final clash for the championship of hmm Solar System i guess ;) I had a good time, but it could have been much better.

Done with the challenge

Wow this is amazing for you to do! I know my friend has humble bundle every month but I don't think he has played a single one of the games from it in the past half year at least.... Will you be doing this next month?

Done with the challenge, thank you.
