  1. After the frustration of Trine 3, I've returned to my favorite #citybuilder: #AgainstTheStorm

    I keep being amazed and gratified at how utterly relaxing the experience of playing the game remains, even when it gets hard. I think the gorgeous soundscape has a lot to do with this.

    Anyway, I've embarked on an expedition to the gold seal. Upped the difficulty level for my first settlement to Prestige-1, which was actually starting to make me feel like I had to work a bit for my victory. Impatience got within 2 points of a loss near the start of the mid-game, as I wasn't yet close to completing most orders, and I had to juggle sacrifices and favor a lot to prevent anyone from leaving during the storm.

    Still, in the end it was a comfortable victory (didn't even have to complete the decorations for my final order, as I won through high resolve), so for my next settlement I'm barging straight on to Prestige-2.

    This run is the first time I'm playing with the Keepers of the Stone DLC. The Frogs slotted straight in, as if I've been playing with them since the start. Looking forward to encountering the new biome!

  6. CW: Against the Storm

    I managed to beat the Silver Seal, but my interest in the game is starting to wane. I've put about 30 hours into the game and it's getting repetitive. I was assuming Gold Seal was the final objective, but it turns out there are four more seals past that with some sort of ascension system.

    Maybe I'll cleanse my palette with some smaller games, then give the new difficulty a shot to see if I feel like dealing with it. I feel like I've barely made a scratch on the meta progression and wonder if I'm going to reach a hard wall where grinding some upgrades will be mandatory. I may not have unlocked all the mechanics expected to be unlocked at this point.

  9. CW: Started: Against the Storm

    I started playing this base building game. I think at this point I'm solidly enjoying it. There's a meta progression system which feels kind of grindy and there are some systems locked behind it (for example: a practice mode where you can choose whatever you want).

    The game focuses on building bases from scratch instead of perfectly optimizing a town. You need to get enough reputation before the queen's impatience reaches max or your base runs out of villagers. There's plenty of resources (biome/level dependent mostly) but the crafting has interchangeable requirements most of the time.

    The game also focuses on choice. Your orders to complete always give you a choice between two, a cornerstone bonus every year, and every blueprint has a choice of multiple buildings as well.

    Your overarching goal is to finish seals (special levels), but you only get one attempt per cycle and you will have to play a bunch of levels to even get there before the cycle ends. If you fail and start over that's a big time investment. I have yet to lose a level, but I'm working my way up on difficulty still.

  15. Marshlands in #AgainstTheStorm are somehow disturbing... I get big #mushrooms as trees, but why the hell there are big wasp-like bodies growing (?) on them? Are these created by mushrooms (or rather some weird entity with complex lifecycle with mushroom-tree and #insect forms) or giant wasps were caught in traps by mushrooms and immobilized there? Or they just landed for molting and left empty shells...
    I don't know if it has some lore explanation other than "these are strange mutated lands full of dark disturbing forms"?

  22. I've only played 3 #videogames released in 2025, so my #Playnite year-in-review shows hours and variables for all games I've played last year.
    My GOTY is #AgainstTheStorm (2023): backloggd.com/u/astarrgames/re
    Second place, and best narrative, was definitely #AnotherCrabsTreasure (also 2023): backloggd.com/games/another-cr
    Just started #PioneersofPagonia (2025) but it's a real GOTY contender: backloggd.com/games/pioneers-o
    Shoutout to #CitizenSleeper & #AHandWithManyFingers I finished last year

  26. Victor's #GOTY
    8. #AgainstTheStorm

    Against the Storm is such a weird game. Start with only the non-combat elements of #Warcraft3, use #RogueLike elements to spice up the production chains, and then force the player to balance it all on a razor’s edge without being able to save scum.
