Odd Realm

https://unknownorigingames.itch.io/oddrealm

Take control of a group of settlers to build a settlement that survives the passing seasons, roaming bandits, underground horrors, and gods from legend.

A game I got in the big itch.io "BLM bundle" back in the day. Pixel art looked fun, and, hey, I sorta liked Dwarf Fortress, so I decided to try this. But I got bored pretty quickly, and now remember almost nothing about it.

The game is still in active development, so who knows, maybe it's gotten better since then.

Celeste - Chapter 9: Farewell

Some friends reminded me that Celeste had a bonus chapter, so I decided to try it out, jumping right into the hardest level in the game years after last playing it. Needless to say, I sucked at it.

...and this is before I even reached the Heart Gate, which unlocks two thirds of the level. My excuse is that I played left-handed because my arrow keys were broken at the time...

The gate was locked for me because I didn't gather enough hearts in the previous levels. This was an obvious sign that I needed more experience with Celeste before continuing, but I never ended up continuing. At some point I will conquer it, though.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon

An old FPS which was given away for free by Ubisoft at some point. Honestly I have zero interest in this type of game, I only tried it due to morbid curiousity, mainly to see if the Ubisoft Connect launcher could work on Linux. It worked, and I got the game to run, but I stopped playing immeiately after the tutorial.

Crysis

Same thing here, installed the game out of curiosity, but did not get far, stopped playing shortly after the aliens showed up. Anyway, if you're reading this blog and asking yourself "does it run Crysis?" like I did, the answer is: yes, though the game's only really playable on lower settings.
