What I've Been Playing This Week (aka Pile of Shame Sunday)

Episode 2 of Game of Thrones takes you (briefly) to the continent of Essos

The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and Lanna. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.

Game of Thrones – A Telltale Game Series

• Picked by Lanna
• Percentage Complete = 18%

I've now finished episode 1 and things went south pretty quickly even resulting in an unexpected death (but from what I've heard about the Game of Thrones series in other media, this isn't uncommon). Episode 2 introduces two new characters who seem to be very competent fighters judging by the fact they take on a whole gang of well equipped thugs on their own. Despite not knowing much about the Game of Thrones franchise, the game is keeping my interest.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes

• Picked by Lanna
• Percentage Complete = 25%

I haven't made any further progress on this – it’s now on hold while I am distracted by Telltale adventures 😊.

Battlefield 1

• Picked by Lanna
• Percentage Complete = 10%

I haven't made any further progress on this – it’s now on hold while I am distracted by Telltale adventures 😊.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

• Picked by Luke
• Percentage Complete = 66%

I figured out how to get the U-Boat to Atlantis and I got stuck right at the entrance of a maze. I ended up using a hint (the first time I've done so for this game) and was kind of disappointed to find out that the solution was so easy. Although now I'm worried that I'm using too many orichalcum beads since they seem to be used to power everything but you only start with a couple of beads and I've already used all of them. Hopefully, this doesn't place me in a dead end situation (no maze pun intended).

War Thunder

• Picked by Choona
• Percentage Complete = 20%

Choona has finally picked a game for me to play but it happens to be one I dabbled briefly with before (hence why the percentage complete is already up to 20%). I've re-downloaded War Thunder but I'm out of time to play it this week – maybe next week...
