Backlog challenge K,L,M (part1)

I'm working through the backlog challenge. Currently on J, K and L of my list.

In Knights of pen and paper my characters are between level 20 and 25. I think the hardest quest area is level 40 so still quite a bit to go. Finding it a bit of a slog. Game seems better suited to quick sessions on your mobile while on the subway than a game that has your full atention on pc. Will probably give the sequel a miss.

In Law and Order I finished chapter 4 of 7. I'm enjoying the stories and think it would be a very good game to test listening in the English classroom.

Metro 2033 redux is the third game on the list. I'm not the biggest FPS fan in the world but I'm enjoying this so far. The atmosphere is beautifully done and the story is quote engrossing. I've met the reds for the first time so getting a taste of the political commentary from the book. I think I'll look to pick it up.

Outside the challenge I am playing Pro  Evolution Soccer 2016 and the Runescape tcg. In PES my become a legend player missed promotion by 1 point. With no good offers I am staying in ligue 1 for another year. I finished with 17 goals and 7 assists but I need to improve my defending and not charge forward so much. After about a dozen games of the new season the team is 5th. A first choice central defender left the club an his replacement is about 10 rating lower so life is tougher.Really finding internationals frustrating. The South African team sucks compared to every team I've faced.




Just my second day of the tcg. Really enjoying the building a deck to face yourself idea. Reached level 7 with the vampire and mage decks- very fun. With the tank played a few times for daily quest. Seems fairly well balanced. It'll probably be my go to tcg until the new set in Spellweaver comes out.

Metro 2033 redux

This is such a well known game that it doesn't seem necessary to review in detail so I'll just give some quick views. The upgraded graphics are of course very good although I was much more impressed with the backgrounds than the character models. The sound and atmosphere was beautiful. It was enjoyable to have such different areas- the dark abandoned tunnels, stations teaming with activity and the eerie post- apocolyptic Moscow aboveground. There are a fairly large number of weapons to choose and customise- from revolvers, shotguns, rifles, flamethrowers etc. You can also use grenades and throwing knives. I enjoyed fighting the human enemies where using stealth and headshots was common. Shooting charging hordes of mutants with shotguns was less fun. I also preferred the parts where you were fighting with allies which made a change from all the time you spent alone. I wouldn't say it has been one of my favourite FPS games but I enjoyed it enough to play La

I've been  a bit sick so haven't been playing as much as I'd like. I did however manage my first 10 win spellweaver trials. They were all very different decks but all very good. The first was nature/rage. Nature has lots of small fast creatures for early damage. I then had a lot of burn to do the final points (plus burning rage for card draw).  The second was nature/dominion. This focussed on keeping my opponents side of the board clear. 3 landslides and 2 stormfairies return to hand or to top of deck opponent's creatures. Then if he floods the board I can use cataclysm for card advantage. Advanced Despina is also awesome in control decks (she can search for opponents creatures in their deck and put them onto the battlefield on your side. The final deck was wisdom/corruption. This relied on shocking opponents creatures so they couldn't attack and you can either get favourable trades or just keep attacking your opponents life total. Daris and Du

Alien Isolation Review

In space no one may be able to hear you scream but on the Sevastapol station humans, androids and the Xenomorph can hear you slightest movement in this tense stealth action game. In Alien Isolation, you play Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley. The ship your mother was on has been found and you set out to discover what happened to her. When you arrive all hell has broken loose on the station as systems are ailing throughout the station and different groups have banded together to try to survive and escape. It has a very similar atmosphere to Deadspace but with for the most part, a lot less combat. The levels are large and beautiful. They have kept the aesthetic of the movies in terms of color schemes as well as the shape and materials of objects such as airlocks, levers and doors. Some are reused in a similar way to the Batman Arkham series and you can access more rooms and areas as you get new equipment or upgrade the equipment you have. Like Ellen, you do not have combat
