Devil May Cry 3 (360 through HD Collection):
Most of my gaming time last two weeks was occupied by other Capcom action game, and while recovering from beatdown it gave me, i decided to continue progressing through Hard campaign with Dante. Initially i wanted to complete Hard with Vergil, but his controls are just messing my brain (mostly three way switching, i keep confusing which weapon i have at the moment even with just two weapons in rotation, let alone three).
Man i forgot how taxing this game on wrist. Constantly keeping devil trigger button, gun button, and actively holding and release lock-on button -- finger jumble.
Transformers: Devastation (Steam):
Not sure why i dropped it really.
I picked it up last night and apparently i was at what feels like tail end of the game with all bosses all coming at me one after another.
Blitzwing was especially cool.
I mean he can transform into Jet that bombs ice shards AND he can transform into Tank that is all on fire AND in humanoid form he can fire his cannon AND in slo-mo you can actually catch his projectile as it is leaving the barrel AND hit him with it (!!!!):
And other bosses are no slouches too: fighting Starscream in warp space (
dat theme tho), Menasor that is the size of skyscraper but acts, moves and dodges as fast as a regular sized enemy, some other robot who transforms into lazer gun making all kinds laser fences all over the arena.
Also during breaks on work
Binding of Isaac (Steam):
After registering 134 hours, i can say that this game is a'ight:
Due to Steam achievement shenanigans (old Flash version is kinda buggy) my game didn't count several complete playthroughs (all the way down to Mom's Heart and even lower down to Satan). My stats stubbornly kept saying i only killed Mom 4 times. I had change my Steam cloud setting for kill stat to finally start counting right.
Crypt of the Necrodancer (Steam):
Great game, great music:
One interesting aspect is how this game does metagame. In Binding of Isaac you can literally manipulate your luck in your favour to get better item drops. In Crypt of Necrodancer you can go to Janitor and eliminate unneeded or simply weak items from item pool completely.
And the main gameplay is very original too.
Pinball FX (Zen Pinball) (Steam):
Bought several Zen Pinball tables on sale for 2+ bucks, including my favourite, Excalibur:
This port doesn't seem to be affected by weird physics of Zen Pinball 2 and plays more or less like 3DS port (my preferred version). Initial ball launching is a bit harder to time skillshots out of the gate, but everything else "feels" the same.
And obviously it looks nicer because it is on PC and i am using vertical monitor to play it.
