Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck) The Basics - Each month will usually feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated - For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing - In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month - If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so - Drawing for next month's games is usually on the 25th - If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will obviously think you are super awesome! Nomination Rules - You get one nomination automatically each month - You receive additional nominations each month for every featured game that you beat - Each game you nominate has to be unique from all other nominations and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM - Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game) - Nominations only carry over if you beat a featured game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month - You also have the option of supporting 1 game each month. Your only limitation is that you can't support your own nomination --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |

KCF0107 01/01/25 5:28:35 AM #2 | Balatro (Switch) The game matched the hype. I'm still going to continue playing this quite a bit and trying to beat it with other decks and unlocking more cards, but on my 7th or 8th run, I finally beat Ante 8 using the green deck. I foused heavily on upgrading flush, straight, and full house planets and was able to get all three to levels 13-16 at the end (thanks to several spectral black holes and the space joker for upgrading those hands when I played them). My first joker was one that gave you a 50% chance of getting a tarot card when opening a booster pack. At the very last shop before the last boss, there was a joker that gave +2 mult per tarot card used, and I had 17, so yeah I took that with me to the final round. My favorite joker to use so far, and what has been in my two best runs, is the four fingers one that lowers flush and straight requirements to four cards. I got another one early in this run, and it was a foil version to boot. My joker and vague deck setup: - Foil Four Fingers - Fortune Teller (just for the final round) - Scholar (I had nine aces) - Drunkard (I kept it just in case I needed an extra discard, but I did not) - 62 cards, including the aforementioned nine aces, 38 spades and maybe three clubs) I had to discard a joker as my final boss rule, and I think it was the 50/50 tarot booster one (Hallucination) as it no longer had any use. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |

KCF0107 12/31/24 12:14:51 AM #3 | SirChris posted... this year for the playoffs we will be returning to the best 4 people advancing rather than seeded matchups. Also I remember, no tiebreakers involving field goals Not important, but this reminds me of something that happened here. I have made the playoffs just once in the main pick 'em league. That was like a decade ago, and I believe that I finished with the best record. Each user was assigned a seed based on record, and we had to pick all four games in the wild card week against our opponent. The higher seed also had to choose a tiebreaker. I had no idea what to pick, so I went with field goals made just to choose something. Two users went 4-0 In the wild card round, and just as luck would have it, it was my opponent and I. My opponent either nailed or was one off of the field goal tiebreaker. The very next season, the matchup system was replaced with the best pickers among all the playoff users. I haven't been back to the playoffs since. I didn't even know that you brought back the matchup system lol. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |

KCF0107 12/29/24 6:48:08 AM #47 | Loddlenaut (PC) A fun marine cleaning adventure with a creature collector side thing going on that I didn't do much with (just cleaned up the Loddles I came across and dumped them in my home cave) nor get why that was included. It's not a big map, but it does take awhile to get around with your modest speed, limited fast travel opportunities, and lack of certain features on the map. That was probably a conscious decision to bring up the playtime as a third or more of my time spent was going back and forth from somewhere to my base just to dump materials and get a full oxygen tank. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |

I wouldn't call it an interesting world or story, but I like a decent point-and-click adventure. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |

KCF0107 12/29/24 12:57:19 AM #45 | Metal Slug Tactics (XSX) I wouldn't say that I'm a fan of Metal Slug, but I was curious on how it would translate to a tactical game. Honestly, the tactics are pretty great. Even though it is a roguelike and this is a crucial aspect to the genre, I was really taken aback by the variety and depth of passives and abilities (I think that they are just called special actions), especially what's unlocked from the start. You are forced to select a dual weapon setup from the start (and you only have one combo available for each of the three initial characters) that you can't change for your run, but it's the passives and special actions that run the game. That being said, I can't fully recommend this because while the tactical aspect is great, the scenarios/map designs I was overall not pleased with. You have to complete three missions in a map before facing off against a boss and moving onto another map, but you are hamstrung with what missions to choose because you are only able to select those that directly connect to a liberated point on the map. Some of these tasks are pretty basic and you know what you are getting into for the most part (kill everyone, kill all the special targets, survive for x amount of turns, etc...), but some are just absolute shit and/or do not a good enough job describing the mission. Had I known that ensuring that four civilians survive meant that there were just five on a small map full of enemies with map portions being added every turn full of enemies and that the civilians were out in the open, defenseless, wouldn't move, and would die in one hit, I would never have taken the job. Had I known that destroying a tower meant that the tower was armed and would fire homing missiles with a wide AOE at multiple characters every turn while destroying precious cover, and that the map would continuously spawn in enemies, I would never have taken the job. There are a couple of other mission archetypes that are just plain not fun or challenging in a cool and reasonable way, but man those two are run-enders. I think that I beat it on my fifth run, which unlocked two more characters for me. I may dabble with this some more since it will presumably be on game pass until at least the fall of 2025, but I'm just dreading being forced into a really crappy mission. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |

KCF0107 12/27/24 5:22:31 AM #44 | 11:11 Memories Retold (XB1) Another game I dropped years ago and picked back up to do something with my hands while I was occupied audibly. The water color art style is still pretty cool to look at, but it is sometimes a double-edged sword when it comes to scanning for objects and interaction points to move the game along. As a WWII tale, it isn't particularly interesting when compared to many other works of fiction on the subject. There are numerous endings based on your actions at the end, and my ending made little sense or at least the aftermath. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy |
