Pile of Shame Sunday - 2nd January 2022

Ahhh you gotta reference the classics

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 = 100%

I've finished The Rat Pack (well, at least on the easiest difficulty level). I was kind of hoping there'd be an ending cinematic or screen but there was nothing (save for the congratulations of achieving the highest rank). The final mission has you scavenging for a LOT of treasure in order to gain favour with the King Rat and achieve the highest rank but I almost had my colony wiped out while I was slowly accumulating wealth, mainly because I got complacent, but I got there in the end. Yay!

Now that The Rat Pack is complete (review copies of games get priority), this means I'll have more time to play the games on my actual backlog again i.e. Disco Elysium, Pillars of Eternity and Psychonauts 2.
