I own about 230 steam games at the moment and a lot of them are Indie games so they aren't really long. My goal for the year is to complete or play each of the games for at least 6 hours. I will then write a review of the game on my steam page with my feelings about the game. Does anyone think this is doable? Like 3 games a weekend? That's like an 18 hour weekend.


Edit: Going to try to find more interesting games to stream. Probably after I have played them for an hour. No more stream today but I will on my free time during weekends.

Edit 2: I'm not going to stream. I have been playing games for like 5-20 minutes at a time because of other duties that I'm trying to accomplish now. It's a good thing too because my streams are uninteresting and don't really hold anything of value even to myself.

I'm going to post the Reviews/Thoughts here under spoilers

A Virus Named Tom
Disclaimer: I haven't played the Multiplayer element of the game and my review is only reflective of the single player experience.

I decided to play this game after it had been in my library for almost a year from a Humble Bundle I had purchased. I thought it would at least keep my attention for a while as it was classified as a puzzle game, but to my dismay it wasn't really a puzzle game overall.

The game is mostly a twitch/reaction game with some puzzle elements. The game takes its roots in the genre Pipe Mania made popular. You have to move circuit pieces around so that you have a complete circuit/flow of the virus and the level is complete. You may ask "But isn't that a puzzle game?" and to that question I would say it is a puzzle game.The last half of the game it introduces too many elements for it to remain a puzzle game. The later elements all rely on the player moving quickly and trying to think on their toes and often that leads to death. A good puzzle game gives the player time to do the puzzles and doesn't require ADHD levels of movement while still trying to solve a puzzle.

Many design choices made in the game are inherently flawed. After you complete a level it takes you back to the main board to select a level wherein you will often find that you have to move around a couple times to get to the next level. I would have liked to see the game progress you to the next level after a level is completed. My next issue is with the music. There felt like there were 3 tracks of music that were randomly selected at the start of a level. I would have liked to have seen a couple tracks for each world and I would have liked it if the music didn't change every single time I had to restart a level. The sound effects are some of the most nerve-wracking I have heard in a while that I ended up just disabling sound to play the game.

Overall the game is an "Okay" experience but I know for sure that I will not play it anymore. It's not worth $10 and has the same amount of content I would expect from a $3 mobile app. I'd have to say to all my friends to give this game a pass as there are plenty of other games you can get that are better for the same price point.

RIPin piece Latsu is anyone of those named Guacamelee?
The first Guacamelee. I may just play it for 6 hours if it's too hard. That's why I said "Or 6 hours"
