Morphopolis (2014) (Linux)

Little, casual game. It takes ~1,5h to beat it collecting all achievements. It's just hidden object game without any story behind - just collecting items of specific type to go further and to start collecting something else. Your bug moves very slowly, which is probably the most frustrating part of the game. Apart from that - ok game, but for fans of the genre only.

List of all games completed in 2019.

Tales of Arterra - The Lost (NWN)
Review on NW Vault

Cosmic Star Heroine, Sep 22 (GOG)-This was a great game. It was a lot of fun and it oozes charm. The story was good if a bit cliched. The combat had some interesting mechanics with the need to recharge abilities and time powered up attacks. My main complaint is that the game was too easy even for me. I played on the 2nd hardest difficulty and I was rolling in money and with the exception of a couple of option bosses the combat was too easy. I didn't even figure out I could customize character abilities until the Mecha-Dragon fight at the end of the game. That said it did drag a bit when I was fighting through countless battles against enemies with 1000s of HP each a good hit for me was 1000 damage. Regardless its still quite a good game. Looking back this makes the top 5 of games I've played this year.

Mount and Blade Warband

Well not technically finished, but I feel I have done enough to put it to rest. I have my own kingdom with 8 towns, vanguished the Vaegirs and Kerghits, I'm swimming in money and are on very good terms with all my vassals.
At this point I could crush the Saranids if I wanted, but am currently at war with the Rhodoks, who own a 7-town spanning kingdom. I could win, but it's going to take weeks and be a terrible slog.

It's a phenomenal game, but I think I have had my fill of native (with diplomacy mod). When next I find myself in the mood for it, I think I'll check out one of the total-conversion mods instead, or Bannerlord if available.

Suicide Guy: Sleepin Deeply (Steam)

Similarly to the first game, this game is a first-person 3D puzzle platformer wherein you need to find a way to kill yourself in each level in order to progress.

However, this game only has 6 levels (as compared to 25 in the first game). Each level is much larger than the ones in the first game and takes much longer to complete. This is not good for me, as I often only have short periods of time in which to play so sometimes I would not have enough time to finish a level in one sitting (progress within each level is not saved). Furthermore, this game relies a LOT more on platforming than the previous game :(.

Overall it’s still an OK game, but just not nearly as good as the original.

World of Goo, Sep 23 (Humble Bundle)-I originally started this several years ago on a different computer after getting it in a Humble Bundle but never finished it. After finishing it now, I can say its fun but not one of my favorites. The level difficulty was all over the place with some being trivially easy and others where I had no idea what my goal was. And the difficulty didn't progress as you got farther. Some of the easiest levels were the last few in the game. A handful of the levels did make me say wow that was really good. I particularly enjoyed Upper Shaft and most of the other levels in Chapter 3.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

A good though not great third person hack&slash&shooter. I liked the story and the characters. Too bad the sequels were cancelled so we don't get to learn what the truth about Captain Titus is.

I love playing pubg in my pc.

After 3 years long break, I have finaly finished my Grand Campaign of Crusader Kings Complete from GOG. In 2015, I have started as one of the smallest counties in Kingdom of Hungary, as a Count of Gemer. Due to carefull planning of marriages, I have became 31 years later the new Duke of Nyitra, and 6 more years later in 1105, the almighty King of Hungary. After that, I have slowly expanded my realm to the east and south, with occasional special marriages, to get the possibility for my children to inherit other Counties and Dukedoms. 347 years later, after I've defeated Golden Horde, Bulgars and other heathens, and had few struggles with infidels of Byzantium, I had became King of another 7 countries. I've became King of Hungary, Bohemia, Khazaria, Burgundy, Croatia, Georgia, Sicily and Rus and was once crowned as Holy Roman Emperor. My kingdom had 102 direct vassals and 197 counts, dukes, bishops, and archbishops under my command. Some of them rebelious some of them loyal, but the Kingdom overcame few of their revolts and had a potential to grow more but the end of the game in 1452 came faster than I thought :P

Rune gold
Thanks to bjgamer for donating the game and Schizo2015 Deutscher Community Giveaway thread where i got the game.
Yes i know it was rune classic that i got but under goodies there was Rune gold and i played it already through. Not too long of a game but enjoyable, Ragnar truly is a one man army. Various weapons and shields, lots of platforming, rune powers for each different weapon and some varierty in the enemies and decapitation of limbs and heads of enemies lol.
Anyway it was a nice game.

Thank you :)

In total it was around 140 hours of play, but stretched over 4 and half years :) It is my 3rd Grand Strategy game ever played, and it was not easy to learn all of its mechanics :D The funny thing is, I was still still discovering new mechanics from observing different random events after 120+ hours played :)

Neverwinter Nights

I know this game is well liked, but I'm going to be frank. I have played Baldurs Gate 2, Planescape: Torment and Dragon Age: Origins prior to this, so am no stranger to d&d mechanics in video games. However I hate the system, it relies on RNG so much, punishing status effects, heavy defences and powerful spells make the game incredibly frustrating unless you happen to be a master of the system. There is a huge variety in how you can build your character, unfortunately towards the end of the campaign they just throw enemies with a dozen immunities and high defence at you, punishing those who happened to make a poor choice in their design (Like me). The final battles were a slog, particularly the two dragon battle near the end, which was absolutely absurd. Story was... alright I guess. Certain monster attack animations looked absurd and out of place. I don't think I'll play the expansions because I just can't stand the combat, it was an improvement from Baldurs Gate, but I still think Planescape is the best of the games I mentioned earlier.

Mirror's Edge

I won't go as far as to say it's a bad game, but I personally didn't enjoy it at all. Not the parkour, and definitely not the combat, whether melee or shooty.

On the plus side, I was able to run it in 4k with a mere 1050ti. Well, on a 1080p monitor, but it beat the pants off even 8xQ antialiasing - none of that "running lines" effect or whatever's it's called on grates and stuff.

Nioh (PS4Pro)

From the makers of Ninja Gaiden. Take Ninja Gaiden and bring in the game play progression and combat system of Dark Souls/Bloodborne, add a loot system from Borderlands, set it all in Sengoku period Japan using historical figures and Japanese mythology, play as a Samurai called Bill. All that together makes Nioh what it is. And it's one of the best games I've played. Maybe not quite as good as Bloodborne and Dark Souls, but it's also it's own thing that stands on its own.

Comparisons to From Software games are unavoidable, since Team Ninja themselves have said they are huge fans of their games and wanted to do their own spin on the genre by combining Ninja Gaiden. The main difference is the level design. Nioh is mission based. This is neither good or bad, it's just different. So the levels are tighter and more focused, but lack the elaborate interleaved non linear world of the Souls series. The levels are great though and take you on a journey around Japan where you meet historical figures like Leyasu, Hattori Hanzo, the spirit of Nobunaga himself- and fight against Samurai, Ninja and the Yokai (Demons) of Japanese myth. A decent story ties it all together.

It's not a casual action RPG, but I feel it also does not quite have the difficulty of Dark Souls either. Especially in regular gameplay. The bosses on the other hand are a bit hit or miss. The third boss, Hino-Enma gave me a massive headache- despite the fact that I levelled 15 levels over the missions recommended. I think it took me more tries than any boss I can remember. She was brutal, fast and I had trouble reading the attacks- plus she could stun lock. But by the end of the game, the final main mission was level 135 and I rolled the final 7 boss final stage at level 112 without much trouble. I'm not sure if the game just got easier as it went or I just got better and did a good job with playing my build- I played a spear specialist with a small bit of Onmyo magic to supplement my melee. Overall it's a challenging and rewarding game.

I played the game on a PS4Pro using the games frame rate mode. That means 60fps at 1080p dynamic, but rarely drops below 1080. I think a standard PS4 runs mostly at 720p in the same frame rate mode as a comparison. The Graphics mode targets 4K with a 30 fps cap, but I think 60fps is hard to ignore for this type of game. The third mode removes the frame cap and the lets it run at any resolution up to 4K and is not recommended because it's all over the palace with performance- but may well be the mode to use when the PS5 comes out. Anyway the 60fps mode was really smooth and only had one noticeable downgrade for its performance- the animations are still 30fps which isn't a problem, but when lots of enemies are on screen or when they get to the mid distance the game switches to half refresh animations- 15fps and it really stands out! sometimes looking a bit comical. But it's worth it for 60fps.

The game is outstanding, only outdone on PS4 this generation by Bloodborne and it's way better than any of the over rated Sony first party games by a long shot. Of course the game is also on Steam, just ignore the bad reviews from people trying to play with mouse and keyboard and use a controller like it was designed for. Must play game for fans of From software style combat and probably for fans of Ninja Gaiden as well. All up it took me about 90 hours to do all missions (story and optional side missions).
