This game is way tougher than expected. Really difficult. Almost done with it, I'm def not going to explore all the post-game NG+ secret content stuff, the hell with that, get me outta here. Cool game tho. (it's made by the same dev as Noita, hence why I'm playing it).

I beat Environmental Station Alpha, although I know there is lot more post game content. After getting stuck for a significant portion of time, I finally decided to ask for help. After that one hurdle, it was pretty smooth sailing until the end.

My final time was 9.57 hours, and my completion rate was 95%. That's approximately 1% every 6 minutes! I've heard it can go up to like 150%. Maybe one day I will return to it to complete the other endings, but for now I'm done. Time to play The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay!

I'm also playing Environmental Station Alpha and I finally passed the part where I stopped playing a few years ago. But now that I've beaten that section, I can't figure out what I need to do next. I got the Golden Access Card powerup that opens up the gold blocks. But it requires me to scour the world, looking for all the ones I passed up during my play-through up to this point, and it's a bit tedious.

I'm contemplating jumping to another one of my "Playing" category games, but I'm worried E.S.A. will just fall to the wayside again, and I'll lose the motivation to continue it.

I started playing this, and even though I'm totally fine with retro graphics, these might be pushing it a bit. This is Atari level graphics, not even NES graphics. Pretty hard to look at for too long, and I can't say the gameplay is helping any. I'll probably get back to it when I'm out of other Metroidvanias to play.
