Outcome of a raid from a rival colony

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 myself. 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.


Disco Elysium

  • Picked by Me
  • Percentage Complete = 44%

I've been focusing on other games this week so I didn't get time to play this.


Pillars of Eternity

  • Picked by Luke
  • Percentage Complete = 10%

I've been focusing on other games this week so I didn't get time to play this.


Psychonauts 2

  • Picked by Me
  • Percentage Complete = 5%

The Rat Pack

  • Picked by Me
  • Percentage Complete = 44%

I don't think I've made much more progress in this and I think I've discovered a bug. It seems that when a rival rat colony attacks you it usually notifies you how many rats you've lost, but in reality you lose much more. For example, in the last game I played, despite the notifications saying I lost only 2 rats defending the colony it actually reduced my numbers by 12 instead. In this game, it becomes a big issue when your colony becomes too small since if the population growth drops to zero it's very difficult to recover in time before a rival rat colony attacks again and wipes you out. I may try the level a few more times before giving this game a review.
