Games You Played in August 2015

Time for one of these again. Which games did you play last month?

Until Dawn - really dug it. Some parts were stronger than others and I wasn't the hugest fan of the ending but it was one of the best experiences I've had with one of those types of games. Definitely better than Heavy Rain.

Rare Replay - haven't really played it all that, but messed around with a bunch of the games and its really nice to have access to this for whenever I get that itch to play any of those games

Rocket League - this is where the majority of my gaming time has gone. It's the perfect thing to kill 10-15 minutes before you have to go somewhere. It's an absolute blast.

Legend of Grimrock - Started it before but finished it last month finally. Great dungeon crawler. Some puzzles expect way too much of you and the final boss was a big letdown, but overall I really enjoyed it. B+

Mario Kart 8 - The best mario kart. These games are usually one annoyance or another from being truly great for me, but this one nails everything. A

FEAR - Only played a couple hours on a very late replay. I would've called it SHOTGUN but maybe that doesn't make a good acronym

Other than that, mostly just more Rocket League and Majora's Mask 3D.

I didn't play much this month. Mostly more of The Witcher 3.

Call of Duty 4: The high praise this gets for its campaign kind of baffles me to be honest. Sure I'm about 8 years late, but I still think a lot of FPS games I played back then were way better. Encounters are such a clusterfuck. Pouring waves of enemies at you is so lazy. There are a few really cool missions though, most notably the two-part flashback mission. The first part is rather neat and smartly designed while the second part is exciting. They work nicely to compliment each other. No grade since I only played the campaign. Probably worth playing for its best moments, but not much more.

I also started Until Dawn and think that is all I really played last month.

Final Fantasy Type-0: I really like this one. It has a certain old-school Final Fantasy feel to it for all that it's action-based. A-.

Codename: S.T.E.A.M.: Closest thing to Valkyria Chronicles we're likely to see for sometime. A-.
