#100gamechallenge

I will try to keep this really simple to avoid any sort of spoilers for this game. This game takes an edgy tone where as the previous game took a more mystical vibe. The events in this game were a lot more relatable, but still kept that sense of looming doom / panic. I personally loved it.

Controls are similar to the previous game with a new arguement mechanic centered around Chloe’s nature of course. Which fit the game really well, it’s just sometimes really unclear what will do what, so you will probably end up redoing segments over and over just to get the outcome you wanted, there are plenty of times while I was playing the game that I was just kinda defeated when there was long unskippable cutscenes to go through to redo an arguement sequence over and over again. I eventually just looked up the correct ways to get the outcome I wanted in all honesty, ( don’t judge me).

I really did enjoy myself with this game, I’m glad I played the game all the way through because honestly ,if I had played this game when it first game out and having to wait a long time between each episode, I would not have been okay, there are heavy cliffhangers at the end of every episode that just makes you want to play more immediately.

Super Meat Boy is an incredible game with tight controls. You’ve probably already played it and if you haven’t you should. There’s a flash game called “Meat Boy” that I played years upon years ago. This game is available on some many platforms, my particular method of playing the game was on Xbox One via Xbox 360 Backwards compatibility. I also have the game on Steam as well.

As far as the game itself goes, it’s a treat, the game is broken up into levels and worlds like OG Super Mario Bros 3 with an “over world”. I honestly had way too much fun with this game. There is so much to do It distracted me from finishing the game for my challenge. I am naturally really good at platformers (see my Cup Head Post) so the game wasn’t as hard as it probably could have been if I was not so naturally proficient with them. The game does definitely challenge you with the fan physics towards the end of the game which was a little more annoying than fun in my opinion. But for sure the game is fair in most cases. The controls are insanely tight. Not to mention that there is an incredible selection of music to behold, which last time I checked is on Spotify also.

I’m going on an adventure, and this is to document it. Yeah, I know “adventure and “document” sound way more exciting than what I am actually doing. 

I’ve always identified myself as a “gamer” and I never stick to new years resolutions just like everyone else. (I bet you haven’t even heard of that word since the first week of January) The list of games is still in the works, but you can find that here. It’s a current status update for the challenge throughout the year if you so choose to follow along, or just get curious.

 I’m doing this challenge to give myself a goal for the year, to chew through my backlog of games, and to relive some games from my childhood!

Now that the introduction is out of the way here are MY rules, to keep things simple.

Game is considered done when credits roll

All games must be played on Normal difficulty or higher (or as similar as normal as possible)

Games should at least be 3-4 hours long average. (I am going by Howlongtobeat.com statistics.

Official releases of the games, most recent patch update.

No Flash Games: Trying to stray away from flash games even though I know there are some kick-ass games, this may change if I get recommended some really good ones.

I started streaming on Twitch also. Name’s Dreadliest. I’ve become Twitch Affiliate (yay) and sometimes will stream some games I feel are interesting enough to stream. In a perfect world I would stream my progress through ALL of the games that I am playing through, but I have a full time job and need time to sleep also. I’m kind of fresh to Tumblr, as far as posting normally I just lurk and share, but I decided to actually contribute to the community for now.
