new free game havent had one of those in a while! Will Glow the Wisp and yeah not gonna play it. it does bring my game total to an even 160
116/160

finished up BattleBlock. that is a good game. the finales did get kinda annoying later on though imo. kinda felt trial and errory while on a time limit which i didnt like. not too big of a deal really. also not a fan of that kinda overworld. way too much pointless walking to get to where you want to go. other than that its good stuff. looks like theres 1 more game by these guys gonna have to look into it
117/160

Wanderlust Rebirth on the other hand is some mediocre stuff. its an actiony arcadey thing with rpg elements. i tried playing it years ago but it didnt have controller support at the time (of course the controller support now isnt the greatest). theres 4 classes with a male/female variant for each and 2 game modes story and The Crawl. story has 3 difficulties each with a different ending i assume are progressively gooder. its got 10 chapters and theyre pretty much just go through some rooms with enemies and kill a boss at the end. theres a few sidequests and secret bosses as well. the idea is to do various things to get awards (sidequests, a big combo, big damage, other stuff) and at the end of the chapter you get a rating up to 100 which determines how many Character Points you get which is what lets you level up. theres also drops and equipment and other rpg type things. the crawl is just a way to farm drops. puts you in a big area and throws waves of enemies at you.
i kinda wanted to like this one but its got some issues. they begin in the tutorial where the game tells you press left on the dpad to continue. that doesnt work of course and to progress you have to press the e key. had to google what the fuck and found multiple topics in the steam discussions of people getting stuck in the tutorial. not a good sign! it can only be controlled with the stick which i find doesnt work as well as the dpad for this kinda game. visually theres too much going on sometimes. the spritework is fine but theres a lot of things popping up which can block whats going on. like a critical hit had a big blue text thing popup which covered the enemy and me which of course makes dodging/moving/blocking kinda hard. most of that can be turned off thankfully but even then theres some issues. enemies can be hidden behind trees and doorways and your Ai party members which i dont think you can get rid of sometime swarm around you making it kinda hard to tell where the enemies are.
teh game also seems designed for multiplayer which isnt really a problem unless you dont have anyone to play with such as me. i managed to get to the last boss but it feels impossible to solo. im sure its not and im just bad but yeah. the only protip i could find was just 'go back through the previous chapters on higher difficulties to get more CP to level up' which isnt a thing i want to do. so dropped for now although i bought this ina 4 pack so i have 3 extra copies i should do something with

2 fite game this week
First up is Footsies Rollback Edition. its a nice simple fighter made by HiFight. 1 attack buttons, 2 attacks, 3 specials, and an emphasis on spacing and whiff punishing. you have to KO the opponent witha special and a special is performed by either hitting attack after an attack has landed or press and hold the attack button to do it raw. theres also whiff punish and hit confirm minigames which are a lot harder than i thought theyd be. online has rollback and some good lobbies. thats pretty much all it has but its good. only 4$ so definitely worth it imo
119/120

secondly is Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection. as it turns out i actually havent played any SamSho and im not even sure if ive seen one in action. fucking weird. anyway the collection has 7 games 1 2 3 4 5 5S and 5P and a museum mode and thats it. the games themselves only have arcade and versus. theres online versus also but i hear the netcode isnt so good. havent done anything except arcade though. and oh fucking boy that arcade mode. i complained a bit earlier about how arcsys very easy was harder than expected but this shit is ridiculous. the lowest difficulty here is the equivalent of other games Very Hard at best. took me over an hour to finish the arcade mode of 1 and that was only after i found out that theres a save game function thats basically a save state. 2s was about the same but fucking 3s man. i was saving after i got any sort of hit on the opponent because otherwise i was dead. i would say yeah arcade quarter munching but that would require people wanting to play the game which this kinda does not.
the games do seem good though but yeah not worth it for the single player experience. i am planning on playing more both for achievements like a fool and to see the rest of the games. ive only made it to 3 because its fucking brutal man. ill call this one done later

and that is all for now. i still have several point and clicks to replace sam and max with but i wasnt feeling like it this weekend. not sure what im playing this week either. another fite game and more samsho for sure but other than that ill decide on something later
