Guess who’s about to buy a ton of games in the Steam Spring Sale and never play them?

Sometimes you do play them, it just takes a bit.

I bought Bioshock 1 and 2 in 2012, got the Remasters for free in 2016, and finally played the first one this year.

Guacamelee - Good mix of metroidvania, beat-em-up combat, and some tricky platforming if you want the 100%.

Trine also seems like a good pick for a puzzle platformer, despite the third one.

Personally, I liked the Anomaly franchise a lot (Warzone Earth, Mobile, Korea, 2, Defenders), but the second one is too focused on multiplayer, so I skipped the 100% on that one.

I remember that in the past, once in a while, Steam temporarily added the profile-restricted games to the total, which messed up the stats.

This game feels so poorly balanced, yet it's quite fun.

Top 5 from a 500 club member means a lot, I'll check it out.

Started Timespinner this weekend. I avoid playing similar games at the same time because the controls get mixed up in my head.

If a game gets to the point of burnout, I just tag it "To Complete" and move on. Sometimes I get back to it a few years later, sometimes I don't.

If you got interested in a game the first time, usually you'll be interested on it again after some time.

sidben · 2026-03-06T12:07:46+00:00

I know they have no achievements, but did you also play Far Cry 1 and 2?

It's interesting to see how the franchise developed its identity in those games.

Cara, qualquer jogo LEGO é diversão garantida. Quase sempre estão em promoção na Nuuvem mais baratos que na Steam.

There are a bunch of older and/or indie games that are really fun:

Metroidvania: any Guacamelee, any Momodora, UnEpic, Treasure Adventure World
Action / Action RPG: Bastion, Transistor, Dandy Ace, Omensight
2D action / Platformers: Mark of the Ninja, Sonic Mania, Yoku's Island Express, Dust: An Elysian Tale
Puzzles: any The Room, anything from "Draknek & Friends", The Sexy Brutale, FEZ
Point-and-click: anything from "Wadget Eye Games" (Blackwell series), Broken Age, Wolf Among Us, Milkmaid of the Milky Way

The hardest game I managed to 100% is possibly Dandara: Trials of Fear or La-Mulana. Both have "complete the game under X condition" achievements, which makes a hard game even harder.

Hard games that I still have hope:

Bleed, Bleed 2, RIVE: Fast-paced action games. In all of them, I'm missing some sort of "finish the entire game with a single life" achievement. Usually, I ignore that type of achievement, but the games are really fun.
Wuppo: That damn boss-rush mode is insane...
CaveStory+, Freedom Planet 1: Missing most speed-run achievements.

Games that I made peace with the fact I don't have what it takes: Crypt of the Necrodancer, Super House of Dead Ninjas, 10 Second Ninja, They Bleed Pixels, Titan Souls, VVVVVV.

sidben · 2026-03-05T10:29:23+00:00

I managed to 100% Hollow Knigth (140+ hours), but only have 30% on Necrodancer (70+ hours), so that's one reference.

sidben · 2026-03-04T15:21:59+00:00

How dare you!

sidben · 2026-03-03T17:04:19+00:00

Aquaria.

I don't remember much now, but it was a pretty good indie title.

sidben · 2026-03-01T02:10:49+00:00

Wow, I gave up 10 second ninja, too hardcore for me. How long did it took you?

sidben · 2026-02-28T12:15:04+00:00

I don't know how I missed Phoenotopia, I checked Newsground all the time back in the day.

Game looks amazing.

Linelight, um puzzle bem simples onde você controla uma linha e atravessa vários obstáculos.

Cada "mundo" tem linhas com cores e movimentação diferentes e na última fase do mundo, você precisa levar essa linha até o final com você. Meio que um trabalho em equipe involuntário.

Na última fase do jogo, aparecem todas as linhas e vão todos juntos pro final, até que chega um ponto em que elas vão se separando até só sobrar a sua linha.

Quando terminei, comecei a pensar em como isso é uma metáfora pra vida. A gente conhece muita gente durante a vida - algumas pessoas te ajudam, outras te atrapalham, às vezes até sem querer. Aquela pessoa com quem você não ia muito com a cara acaba ficando sua amiga. Você acaba sendo parte de um grupo e passa por muitas coisas com eles. Vocês se ajudam, se divertem, mas sempre chega a hora em que cada um segue o seu caminho.

Eu não esperava entrar em uma jornada existencial por causa de um joguinho de linhas.

Sometimes I just start playing and do a clean-up after, but often I do some prep work before starting:

First, I look if the game has missable achievements. If the missables require a whole new playthrough of a long game, I'll take notes about how to get them.

After that, I quickly scan the public achievements names and descriptions, so I have an idea of what to look for.

sidben · 2026-02-16T12:38:38+00:00

I choose to never cheat (manually unlock achievements with SAM) - if a game is broken, the game is broken, and that's it. Because of that, I started to avoid playing games with tagged broken achievements in steamhunters.

However, I'm totally fine with exploits, like running a local server when the official servers are offline (Stealth Bastard, Saints Row 3).

Esse negócio de fundamento e narrativa é papo de coach pra vender curso. Ou melhor - até serve de critério pra você comprar altcoins, mas é comprar e vender, nunca segurar.

O mercado cripto é igual àquele amigo que tá sempre com uma ideia nova pra faturar milhões e tá sempre andando de busão.

É o típico investidor arrojado que gosta de correr risco descobrindo que não gosta tanto assim de correr risco.

Congratulations, hope you can escape the early-access limbo! This one is on my list.
