I have tried Draw a Stickman EPIC, the original idea REALLY seduced me but the game itself just threw me off, because of the design, the horrible difficulty..
This is an exemple of fake, wrong difficulty.. Scratching my head to know where to go, what to do, what is expected of me, how to move on.. WHY, such a simple idea and yet this kind of situation right close from the start, just why..?
Is it not proper to expect a simple gameplay one would think and feel aimed at the whole wide range of players in terms of ages, and I mean here especially for kids with a tablet enjoying a cool fun game, to have a forgiving, smooth difficulty? While here I'm stuck already at the first few levels, I can only take the evidence that something is going wrong, leading me to think by all the odds that this game came out without a proper testing, and ignoring public feedback..
Rant.. but very disappointed because, the potential!! It has, is tainted and null, because of a very bad difficulty managment from the designers.. Oh, well!
Now, I'm downloading / installing Rise of the Argonauts on my Steam..

I'm enjoying Torchlight at the moment. It was a gift from a nice forum member several days after I have joined.

Currently I'm juggling between multiple systems playing the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on SNES and juggling between PS4 titles. I'm trying to decide if I should play Baulders Gate or Icewind Dale or a few of other games I got from the GOG sale. So much to play lol

Now playing Castlevania 3. I always expected the classic Castlevania games to all be the same formula, I was a little surprised that Castlevania 2 was almost in the Metroidvania style. Anyways, once I finish that I'll try out the old Contra games, followed by getting back to the Dragon Quest series.
Also working on Bahamut Lagoon, which I'm finding fun but slightly frustrating. The game itself is fairly easy, I'm just having trouble getting the items I need to feed my dragons. It doesn't help that I read some spoilers for the story a long time ago. Normally that isn't an issue for me, but there's one particular plot point that just ruins the story for me.
All part of a personal project to make some headway in my backlog by starting with some of the oldest games/consoles and working my way forward. Seems to be working so far, crossed 10-12 games off the list in the last month or so.

Trying to play Dungeon Keeper 2 but it keeps crashing :(. I'm also playing MM7: For Blood and Honor, and Champions (The Paper and Pencil one) but we just started our campaign and we won't be able to play over the holiday season which is kind of lousy. I do need some recommendations for good games to purchase if i do receive any Christmas money.

Just finished playing Sid Meier's Civilization V for the first time. Fun game, allies/friends/rivals are unpredictable and the game over screen always feels like it's a minute away.

Breaking my don't-play-another-game-while-playing-a-"heavy"-game rule, I've started playing Icewind Dale. I'm still primarily playing Mass Effect 2 (on Hardcore, which I think is the best way to play the game), but I'm getting in short sessions of Icewind Dale. This is mostly because I've been really excited about trying it and I figure if this run starts to turn sour because of bad choices during party creation, it won't be hard to go back to the drawing board since I'm not investing too much attention into it. I've probably played an hour and a half, but the hour was spent in creating my party (I had to do my own bio for everyone). I haven't even fought anything yet. I've just talked to people and spent a while outfitting my party. Still, it looks to be interesting, and i find something truly fascinating about building and role-playing a whole six-person party.
