Hmm. Look, I’m really, really trying to like the game. I do, I think. But it keeps doing things that are awkward or unintuitive or just rubbish and I’m wondering if the story and the humour are the only reasons I’m still playing.
Good things from today’s session were the pigeon and teeth puzzles. Not too obvious, but both made sense and I managed them without help. With that I was able to leave the town and ended up in the forest.
There was a terrible puzzle in the forest, which involved moving a sign. The main problem with this puzzle being, well, this:
Can you see what is going on? Or where I’ve put the sign? Or even where I am? No, I’m not the car. The sign is literally invisible. Once you put it down, you can’t see it any more and you have to remember where it is as you have to repeatedly put it down in different places.
After that, there’s a puzzle on a bony bridge which was a little vague (you have to extinguish flaming beavers – no really – but often your extinguisher does nothing to them, squirting through them) and now I’m in some sort of port town. Onward!
Over on uk.games.video.misc we have a regular Monday topic. A simple list, with a short exposition, of each game we’ve played over the last week, those we want, stuff we’ve essentially (or literally) binned, and what we’ve bought.
Play
Puzzle & Dragons Z (3DS)
Still. See here.
Lego Jurassic World (PS4)
We completed it a while back, now we’re mopping up all the bricks and minikits. 55%-ish complete.
Various Lynx Games (Lynx)
Mainly Chips Challenge and Xenophobe, as they’re the most fun of what I’ve got. Then Super Skweek. And a little bit of California Games. And Batman Returns which is rubbish and I completed it.
Grim Fandango Remastered (PS4)See here for more. Basically, it’s funny but it’s too obtuse.
Splatoon (Wii U)
I’ve not played it in a while so there have been a lot of additional maps and weapons. I thought I’d be terrible now as everyone would be on level 40+ (I’m on 14 still) but apparently I could still hold my own.
Want
Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4)
When Jurassic World is done, we’ve only Lord of the Rings left and we’ve done all the Lego games. So we’ll need this.
Bin
The Lynx screen. It’s pretty awful.
Viking Child (Lynx). It’s trying to hard to be Wonder Boy in Monster Land and fails in every single way.
Expense
No money spent, but I did get a free copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the 360, as it was on Games With Gold.
