Just beat P.E. Noire decent enough point n click. Nothing spectacular but again another well made game. Not sure there's much to flesh on this one but it does its job

so finally got round to playing the first itchmas game that being Arcane Break. Enjoyable for what it was but was very simple. I geuss for itch.io games the best thing is where you can see they could imnprove on the game and this is one I can see easily freshed out with different set ups. More permanet upgrades and such. The concept was there but it for me needed more though I can't complain too much about the gameplay

Okay still settling in to my new home so maybe sproadiac with my plays but anyway had my first session of Outer Wilds:

Jumped on a geyser and died. End of the game

Okay the more serious session after that:

Made it to brittle hollow and found the crashed ship and it's escape pods before following into the black hole and then reaching the white hole station and thus the north pole station on brittle hollow. Translated everything there and found the tablet in the white hole to see the other items in the area not exactly sure what they mean and then the sun collapsed and the loop repeated

Okay very opened ended will need to follow a few leads I think but will see where this leads me. Finding the controls a bit floaty although I am in space so maybe I can be more forgiving of it. Dependent on how annoying it gets

As usual all Mine are the GotM games. Got a long one which I will hopefully beat by the end of the year but still doubt half way through it:

5th October - Inside - 3h 17m 33s
14th October - *Death's Door - 13h 11m 3s
26th October - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - 10h 43m 36s
27th October - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Not a Hero - 1h 40m 40s

*End credits hit True ending was Reached int November

Ranking:
4th - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Not a Hero - Relies on the weakest aspect of the Resident Evil 7 game and lacks the puzzles of the base game. Not badly made but disappointing
3rd - Death's Door - Decent hack n slasher which relies too much on Gauntlets to increase it's difficulty
2nd - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - A successful update to the resident evil formula by easily transitioning into FPS. Let down there by tedious regular enemies but still some excellent puzzles and some great boss fights
1st Inside - A excellent atmospheric platformer built around some great puzzles which at times can be trial and error

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Completion October 26, 2024
Main+Extras 10h 43m 36s
Notes Normal, 8 Mr. Everywhere's, 14 Antique coins, 28 Files
Review
+Successfully takes the Resident Evil franchise and transfer it into FPS
+The baker family does a great job of being a threat while chewing the scenery
+Series of puzzle rooms with different themes and threats
-Regular enemies are more of a nuisance then a threat
-Game can be too dark in places which prevent good explorations
-Lack any major scare in the game
Overview
Resident Evil 7 takes it’s franchise successfully into FPS and is able to do a few new things with the baker being a great overarching threat that hunts you throughout the corresponding level. Each with there own theme as well as series of unique puzzles for each of them which also can be used for there boss battles. The game though is limited in the scares and at least in a non VR play through rather tame for a horror game and it’s not helped by the standard enemies being more of a wobbly nuisance then a threat and are at times frustrating to deal with which is not helped by the game in places too dark to see anything in the environment.

8/10

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Not a Hero
Completion October 27, 2024
Main+Extras 1h 40m 40s
Notes Normal, 4 coins, 5 files
Review
Not a Hero is a continuation of the end of the game involving more of the mine which acts as it’s level. It unfortunately is reliant what I feel is the weakest point of the game that being the combat. It lacks a lot of the puzzles which are dealt with in the game and becomes more of a metroidvania (get an item that opens up the next area). However it does make you powerful enough to take on the enemies and enough ammo and it still has the feel of the base game so it’s not all bad.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
21/10/2024 22:14
Defeated the mother and have got to the point where I have both keys available (need topick up the blue key but ran out of space). Finished the happy Birthday video tape. Enjoyed that escape room level

Getting use to the idea of running normally I shoot everything but this time ammo is alot more sparse compared to other RE game. Keeps me on edge where I have to plan where and when I fight
23/10/2024 22:00
Got through the testing centre and reached the storage area in the boathouse. Like the use of the happy birthday puzzle and if you run through that tape you get all the details you need to unlock the crank door without the oil leaking out. Wondering now if you can do the same in that tape
25/10/2024 22:05
Reached the crashed ship and playing as Mia and have finished the old tape. Found out Ethan is at the bottom of the ship so heading there
26/10/2024 22:28
Okay that me done with the main story. Looks like theres one free dlc left to do. There are two paid but cba buying them. So did enjoy the game but did find the standard enemies frustating to deal with espeically as they wobbled all over the place. Wasn't enamoured with the story but did enjoy the baker family and the boss fights involving them as well as the escape room style levels it builds around. Overall enjoyed it but preferred the first resident evil. Will see if I can complete the DLC tomorrow.
27/10/2024 19:28
Okay just finished the DLC. Yeah not that good. Bit reliant on the combat which I think was the weakest part of the base game. Does away a bit too much with the puzzle room setup of the base and more on the metroid style gameplay as R2D2 noted. prob a 5 or 6 for me. I'll write up reviews for the base and DLC at some point but now back to Baldurs Gate 3

Death's Door
Completion October 14, 2024
Main+Extras 13h 11m 3s
Notes 5 shrines, Bow upgraded and 12 shiny things
Review
+Simple and workable combat
+Series of great boss fights
+Hides it’s secret really well in the environments
-Relies too much on throwing as many enemies as it can at you for difficulty
-Lacks any health mechanics within combat with limited health
-At times game is too dark to see the environment properly
Overview:
Death’s Door is a decent top down hack n slash which is held together with with a world built around well hidden secrets and a series of interetsing and unique bosses. It unforunately held back by a tendency to try and get dark souls level difficulty by throwing as many enemies waves at the player as possible. There is also issus where things aren’t easy to see on the screen and can be easily missed.

Reached the second safe room. Got one more last cerebus head to collect. Daddy is frightfully insane and has been surprising me in lots of places

Bit too heavy on the chasing atm but seen glimmers of different gameplay styles. Will have to wait to see in the future

First CHAINSAW FIGHT!! Okay that was fun. Reached the greenhouse and fighting the mother

Can't deny my frustration with this game. Dealing with enemies is annoying for me especially with the amount of punishment they can take. Guess I need to learn to run. Still I enjoy the puzzles and the variety in them. Bosses are varied so far so that's good

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Had my first play session:

Escaped from dinner with the family and it looks like daddy is chasing me but made it through the hatch into the basement where I saved

Bit of a slow start but it does a great job of setting the mood. I have actully watched LPs of this game before but even parts that I knew was coming got me. Atm this feels like a pure horror game and it's keeping me on edge. this is the third RE I've played but I think it's the most effective so far for horror but will see. It def taking alot of inspiration from the texas chainsaw movies though

Not sure if this is due to playing on Switch handheld but details are so small - it's hard to notice things!


I played on a PS5 and yeah this was an issue for me as well

And that's Death's Door done yeah not much has changed in my review. Enjoyed the bosses and exploring but not the enemy waves thrown at you. I'll write up a review in the coming days and might also continue to get all the collectibles as it was a good podcast game for me and there's def secrets out there. Now onto Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Beat the urn witch

Have to say enjoy bosses but I still feel the game throws as many enemies at you for the sake of difficulty.

Beat betty. That's the last of the grand souls so I can go through death's door. Just doing arrow door close to the door in the first area

So think my thoughts have solidified as I close in on End game. It's a fun game with some nice simple controls and it hides it's secrets well in the environment. It has some great varied bosses with some decent challenge. However the way they do most challenge is by throwing waves of enemies at you which just becomes frustating espeically with the lack of health or healing mechanics in combat. I also find certain things in the geometry hard to see which hurts the game. Think it's a solid 7 most likely.
