Blog: Games of March 2019


I was pretty steadily busy in March and still holding out on getting to invested in playing anything while I had work to do. I didn't play anything particularly of note, although I probably did get deeper into Xenonauts than I'd planned. I also very briefly started trying to play a version of Simon's Cat branded Snood on the phone, but that has the standard addictive gameplay and pay-to-keep-playing model so I ditched that pretty quickly.

My top five games (by play time) for March were:
  1. Breath of Fire II - I'm struggling to get through this a bit. Some of this game is really well done and some of it isn't. The translation is obviously awful, and it has a very SNES RPG habit of sending you to do something ... somewhere, so I've had to resort to a guide (well, several guides) to find a decent way to play. On the other hand, something does keep me playing and I enjoy the overall feel of the game.


  2. Xenonauts - I got listening to a Podcast where they were talking about XCOM (the real one from '94). So I figured I'd fire up Xenonauts until I got frustrated and quit. So far that hasn't happened and I've been enjoying Xenonauts quite a bit.

    Nothing to worry about.


  3. Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival - As (pretty much) always.

    Brother and Sister


  4. Pokémon Go  - Also as (pretty much) always.

    I take it back. I'm slightly worried.


  5. Mario Kart 8 - I needed something more tactile to play and this was really up my alley.


Here's my total play time chart for March:



And here's a chart of how much I've played over the month:
