            Steam Recommendations

            As a new feature on Steam it is now possible to recommend a game to your friends. Sadly, you can't see all recommendations for a game. Anyway, it is possible to see all recommendations made by a single user by looking at the Recommended tab under his games (hopefully, they'll add a link on one's profile soon).

            Anyway, I've been recommending a few games so far, though mostly games I've already discussed here. You can see them all HERE. The link has also been added to the right hand side.

            100% on Flight Control HD

            Let me try this again...


            This is a new small casual game on Steam, which didn't take long to 100%. This is my review of this game (see all my review HERE):
            After ~30 min. you've tried every level, and it already seems a bit too repetitive. If just they've added some simple story mode or some special objectives it would have been much better. If you're just going after the achievements you'll probably have 11 of 12 after those ~30 min and ~30 games, which means your still 170 games away from that last achievement...

            All in all, if you have 30 min. where you want to play a small, simple, casual game, then this is a decent pick if you can get it 50% off.

            Finally, some free time!

            I haven't posted anything for a long time, since I've been pretty stressed with my master thesis, which I've finally finished and passed (I will post a few lines about this later). That said, I will try to be a bit more active from now on. And that said, I will probably spam this blog with posts about things that has happened the past month, and I will try to make an update of my achievement progress.

            100% on Bob Came in Pieces


            Edit Jule 19th. - the game got 10 achievements, which I have now unlocked, such that I am truly at 100% again.

            This game is a different take on puzzle games. You are Bob, a small alien who has crashed landed on a foreign planet. You start with a basic space ship, and as you progress through the levels, you'll find extra rockets and pipes you can add to your ship. The difficulty lies in chosing the right ship design for the right job. The story levels are quickly completed, and all the parts are quickly found. But for each level there are two speedrun achievements (silver and gold), and it's here the really hard achievements are to be found. In addition, the game has two times gotten new levels in the form of VR mission, which have all been really well designed, and I actually found these more fun than the story levels.

            All in all, I think this is a really fun game, and I've had a lot of fun trying to complete the speedruns (which I'm usually not a fan of). For the price of only 6.99€, I would highly recommend this small indie gem.

            100% on Madballs in... Babo: Invasion


            After a long time I finally hit 100%. The multiplayer achiements in this game was really hard to get due to two reasons. 1) The player base is not that big. 2) The players playing have played for a long time, and are, thus, pretty good. I had given up on the multiplayer achievements, but then a free weekend helped a lot. Some newbs joined the game and I was able to get most. The last, host a 4-player co-op game, I managed to get with a friend and some random joiners.
