So Many Games

December 08, 2013 by Adam in Adam's Games

I made it through the Steam Thanksgiving game sale only slightly unscathed.  I've yet to play The Wolf Among Us, the new Civilization expansion, and Spelunky.  What I have been playing is Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and Starbound.

Black Flag is a great pirate game, where I play as a scoundrel captain sailing the Caribbean.  I keep improving my main ship and I have a fleet of captured ships I keep sending off on trade missions.  The main storyline is decent, but I'm having the most fun capturing other ships, harpooning sea life, and diving undersea wrecks.  I'm admittedly somewhat guilty with the whaling, though I entertained everyone with my Captain Ahab impersonation when I found and caught the elusive white whale.

The other game that we've all been playing is Starbound.  It's a lot like Terraria, mining and exploring and such.  The main twist is that you're in a galaxy with tons of planets.  You fly a space ship around and explore strange places both on the surface and underground.  It's still a beta, but an entertaining one.  I'm the sole human in the family - Sam's a bird man, Emma's a plant person, and I think Duncan is some kind of robot.

I'm busy playing away as I wait for the pipes to defrost so we can get hot water again.
