Welp the Steam Summer Sale hit and I've been busy buying a lot. But here's a rundown of my loot that I've been playing the most.
Cthulhu Saves the World
Its a retro 16 bit RPG game but with a twist. You get to play as a powered down Elder God who wants his powers back but overhearing the narrator (yes I'm not making this shit up) he decides to become a hero just to get his powers back. This game reminds me so much of Earthbound and I really love it considering I'm not a big fan of classic RPGs. The game throws lampshades everywhere and parodys every RPG trope they can their hands on. Its quite a hilarious journey. Oh and I should mention the case is pretty colorful if not ragtaggy as the first few party members that join Cthulhu is a groupie, a sentient sword, and a goth girl. And they seem normal compared to the next couple party members too. But I really love it. I do need to level grind a bit since everything is hard all of a sudden and it feels like every encounter is a boss battle. But its a good game regardless.
Poker Night 2
Well I love poker but I'm terrible at it. I did learn quite a bit of poker from playing this game so that's something. They brought in the most random bunch of characters this time around (Ash Williams from Evil Dead/Army of Darkness WTF? Not that I'm complaining) and it works and brings varity to the table. There's a lot of humor in the game which I love and its poker what's not to love? But for some reason Ash seems to be one of the first few to get busted though. Weird. Oh well.
Melty Blood
I love fighting games no doubt and this one is a pretty fun one. Sure I don't have the translation patch but its still cool enough. Its faster than BlazBlue which is cool and I do feel like some of these characters inspired some moves and characters in BlazBlue but I don't feel like going in-depth. These characters are pretty awesome regardless. Hell if it weren't for Darkstalkers being around I'd say some of these characters are the most hilarious fighting game characters around, namely Mech-Hisui and the Nekos. The soundtrack is pretty catchy too I will add which is a good bonus I suppose. But my biggest gripe is really the controls which cramps up fingers and you can't reconfigure the keys either without some kind of program. But still either way I'm loving it.
Team Fortress 2
You all should know about this game. The reason why I've gotten back into it is the new item patches and I've been getting newer items lately. I will admit I'm loving my scout loadout right now.
I've been meaning to name the hat he's using "Eddie the Hair" as an Iron Maiden reference. I do wish I could have more Misc slots because I hate Scout's shoes. I also love my current Spy loadout too but I forgot to screencap that too.
