Wasteland 2, Director's cut

Somehow time passes very fast.. I thought it was only several months when I played Wasteland 2: Director's cut but when I checked my saves.. I realised it was about a year when I played it last time. Still I remembered pretty much from the game and wanted to continue the story. Playing Wasteland 2 helps me to orientate to be a dungeonmaster in the pen and paper role-playing game, Era Survival. Known world has fallen and only the strongest survives.. That combines both of these games even reasons for the collapsing are different ones.

Stats for my main character.

Everyone has their quirks.

My team.

When I returned to play Wasteland 2 I didn't want to make new characters, I rather used my premade group so that I could continue adventuring instead of making new characters. I still had pictures about creating characters and you can see them above. I tried to make a team where one can heal, one is good to speak and has some intelligence, one is strong and one can use snipers and also knows how to improve weapons. Usefull skills and it is necessary to have several skills in your group if you do not want to have troubles to go forward all the time. Lockpicking, safecracking, alarm disarming are rather handy when you wish to find a good loot.

Conversations  gives useful information.

Travelling is dangerous, remember to have water and check radiation.

When I started to play game again I remembered fast why I liked this. The game gives impression that we aren't the only team who is working in the world. There are others and we can hear the reports as well. That gives small hints about new places but also creates story that we are part of something bigger. I like that idea and also it feels nicer to travel as a group than travel alone in the dangerous world. So everytime I go adventuring I always have whole group with me. That simply helps to survive.

Team moves as a group.

Giant rabbits don't eat carrots. They love meat.

Decisions! Awful decisions. I am gamer who would like to help always almost everyone.. but now you simply can't.  You have to do decision what to do and you will know that if you help some, someone else might suffer. It feels horrible but it also gives impression about harsh world.  Life sucks when even water and bullets are valuable. Wasteland 2: Director's cut is still a good game and it seems there is plenty to play..  My goal is to finnish game before they release the third part in 2019. Here is short trailer about  Wasteland 3.

The Flame in the Flood

When the river is your friend and the worst enemy. The Flame in the Flood is indie game where you travel along the rivers and try to find things for survival. There are wild animals who are threat to you if you face them unprepared. And yet the biggest threat is the weather. Rain soaks and make you feel cold. How to survive when everything is against you?

You can play either campaign or free endless game.

When you enter the raft for the first time.

Dog will be your best friend, and usually the only one.

I have to say that music is very smooth and nice in the game. If the music would be threatening, the game would be creepier. Now you hav a dog and nice music to help during your journey. And both of those helps quite a bit to keep the atmosphere the right one, despite the endless rain. The game is hard.. when you still learning what to do the death is sudden and unexpected. When you try the same thing again, it works a lot better and you will survive a bit longer. But be careful about everything.. rain, wild animals, food, poisons, insects, cold can be deadly to you.

Uups.. Damn snakes.

The horrible way to die when raft is falling apart.

At least I can see the road how logn I survived before dying.

When you float along the river there are little islands where to land. It might be an old campsite, or ruined hospital but all of those offers something useful to gather. Forage all the time when you have the possibility since it is a key to find new things. When accidents happens you have to be prepared or your condition might become worse fast. This is the main things what you will learn from the beginning in the game. Every rag, dandelion or yucca has a way to help you to last longer. The only problem is that you can't carry everything with you, so finding the best combo helps you further. When you forage new items you will learn new recipes how to make more difficult things. Try them out and make your living easier.

Make sure your basic needs are taken care.

Many dangers are floating in the river what might crash your little raft.

This game has a good balance. It is challenging but still I ended up to try it again and again and I learnt from my earlier mistakes. The islands aren't holding same things all the time so what you will be finding is randomly selected. But if you love surviving and challenges this the game you should try. I liked it even still hasnät gotten through the campaign... But I am close ending it! And at least I do have a hope that when I die, I can always begin from the point during journey and keep the stuff I had at that time before dying instead of doing everything again from beginning. But if this feels too merciful feel free to make a whole new beginning and challenge yourself even more!
