Sorcerer King – Not Quite Master of Magic

February 7, 2016 by Nikola·1 Comment

It’s been a while since I wrote anything here and honestly, this was mostly because I didn’t play anything to write about until now. Sorcerer King is the latest game in the series of 4x games made by Stardock. As far as I can tell, it’s placed in the same universe as Elemental: War of Magic and Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, and it’s pretty good, fun game. As any other game of this type I’ve tried, though, it fails to capture the feeling Master of Magic was able to offer decades ago. Still, it comes very close, even if we don’t ignore the many technical flaws the game has, so it was good enough for me to play through it entirely, and good enough to write about.

Legend of Grimrock 2 [2] – Completed!

April 26, 2015 by Nikola·2 Comments

Just a quick update. Legend of Grimrock 2 is now completed. I got through the normal ending as well as the hidden, true ending. I didn’t do all of the achievements, though, so I can’t consider it 100% completed. Still, I’m happy with the outcome.

The Witcher 2 [1] – Bumping and Plowing Throughout

April 19, 2015 by Nikola·0 Comments

About a year ago, there was a trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. At that point, I decided it was finally time for me to play through The Witcher 2. Now, almost a year later, I can honestly say I’m impressed with myself. My attempt to play through this game survived several month-long breaks and I managed to complete it without restza

Heroes of Might and Magic – The Other Part of the Franchise

Heroes of Might and Magic - The Victory Screen

I’ll be honest. I’ve kind off been cheating lately, playing several different games but not really sticking through the end of any of them. Sure, The Darkest Dungeon is early access so I guess it’s OK I’m not going through that one all the way, but i started the Witcher 2 months ago and left it about half-way through. I also have a game of Crusader Kings II running, with a draft for a posting only half-written. This one, I really wanted to give an honest try, though. It’s Might and Magic, after all.

Final Fantasy Dimensions – Now This Is More Like It

March 1, 2015 by Nikola·4 Comments

I played through Final Fantasy XIII and already wrote about it here. In short, I can’t say I enjoyed the game. I can’t say I hated it either, but I definitely wouldn’t describe it as a great game. Final Fantasy Dimensions, on the other hand, feels like a proper Final Fantasy game throughout and I’m definitely having fun with this one.

Kingdom Rush: Frontiers – Reference Theft

January 5, 2015 by Nikola·0 Comments

A few months ago, I played through the campaign of the original Kingdom Rush on my tablet. It went by relatively quick, so instead of writing a single opinion post about it, I wanted to write a series of guides on how to get three stars on at least some of the levels. As apparent by the lack of such posts on this blog, that turned out to be a great idea.

Sarcasm aside, Kingdom Rush was a fun game, so I bought Kingdom Rush: Frontiers as well and played through it recently. I also got much further in the starts department, but I still don’t have a guide ready. What I do have is a bit of an overview of the game and I really want to write this down before I start with the third game in the series – Kingdom Rush: Origins.Continue reading

Final Fantasy XIII – Mixed Feelings

January 2, 2015 by Nikola·3 Comments

Final Fantasy is one of the few defining game franchises for me as a gamer. As a kid, I didn’t look far past the usual platformers, fighting or racing games, but at one point after getting the PlayStation, I got talked into buying Final Fantasy VII. Since then, I’ve played through most of the series and enjoyed each and every game I tried. This is a single post instead of a series, but I have now completed Final Fantasy XIII as well. Did I enjoy it? Sort of, maybe, but I’m not really sure.Continue reading

Sproggiwood – A Juicy Roguelike

October 26, 2014 by Nikola·4 Comments

The purists might jump on the title like a pack of hyenas, so I’ll put a disclaimer right here and now – some might not consider Sproggiwood a roguelike. I do, but some might not. Most will consider it a fun game to play, though.I know I do, so I’ll do my usual “what is this game about” thing. I was going to do it earlier, before the game was released, but I couldn’t find the time, so let’s do it now that it’s out.Continue reading

Angry Birds Epic [1] – Completed?

July 20, 2014 by Nikola·10 Comments

Over the past several weeks, I haven’t played a thing, except for an occasional fight in Angry Birds Epic. I haven’t been especially busy, albeit far busier than usual, but I did have other interests at the front and center, such as reading through A Clash of Kings. That being said, I managed to play through the main story of Angry Birds Epic and I think I can consider the game completed now, though I’m not really 100% sure.Continue reading

Fortix 2 – Something I’ve been Playing

June 21, 2014 by Nikola·0 Comments

Lately, I’ve been playing games on a one-off basis. I install a game and play through it within a couple of days at most, either because it’s short, or because I’ve given up on it. A journal entry would make very little sense in that case, so instead, there will be this one posting about the game in general and my playing through it specifically. I’ll start by saying that Fortix 2 falls in the first group – it’s short and I’ve played through it.
