[716] Mini Review: Librarian: Tidy Up The Arcane Library!

 

I had SO SO much fun with this game! A dear friend gifted it to me on Steam for my birthday and I just recently sat down with it to give it a go. If you are into organizational games, I highly recommend it and I also suggest giving the No Magic run a try! I really liked being able to put everything away myself by hand, and there’s even an achievement for it.

As you can see it took almost 60 hours, but it was absolutely worth it. Some of the book titles are absolutely laugh out loud hilarious (especially the romance novels, as you expect they got the 80s trashy bodice ripper vibes ON LOCK.)

[#715] Mini Review: Bloodlines 2

first off, forgive any janky formatting, i’m typing this on my phone in the hopes to you know….use this more. i’ve been feeling the pull to go back to social media and micro blogging, but i have a fully functioning website i pay for right here under my own control! and in my dead heart of hearts, i really do not want to go back to social media. i’m doing just fine with the ā€œkeep accounts open for friends that use it to send me stuff in DMsā€ model. LOL

ANYWAY, in July i resubscribed to Gamefly (YES, it’s still alive!) think Blockbuster, but online and no rental deadlines.

The first game in my queue that i received was Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. now as an aside, this game was in development hell for years and we thought we’d never see it released. that was the first thing that made me ā€œmehā€ about it. the second thing, and ultimately was gonna be the reason i would never spend money on it was they were going to put my vampire clan of choice (Toreador) behind a paid dlc. they would eventually backtrack this and then just make an additional story content dlc for a npc. $15 bones though, what the helly!!

thirdly, the story just was an outright FLOP. i had gotten the anarchy ending, but it didn’t feel like an anarchy.

i would have been way happier with Fabien, the Malkavian detective and doing old timey noir detective things!! (Fabien’s big reveal also made me pause the game and call my partner about it because i was so damn gobsmacked LOL)

as the player character storyline, things just felt really disjointed and wasn’t really going anywhere. you felt like you were just….there, with no real development.

all in all, glad i rented it and didn’t spend any money on it (unless you count my Gamefly subscription) maybe when it’s stupid cheap during a Steam sale i’ll let it rot in my library til i get a better PC.
