Video Games

The latest video game I've been playing is Vessel, a puzzle-platform game. It was another good one to put my game controller to use. You play as an inventor who created Fluros, automated helpers made out of liquid. When the Fluros get out of control, it is your job to repair the machinery to get things working properly again. In addition to the usual climbing and jumping, you have to interact with various switches, levers, and other controls. I progressed far enough to get access to seeds, which allow you to deploy Fluros as desired. I also obtained a liquid gun, which supported canisters of various liquids and multiple nozzle attachments. I thought the game was pretty clever with an interesting setting and level design. I must admit, however, that I didn't feel up to completing it. According to howlongtobeat.com, I would probably need to invest around 13 hours to get to the end. I enjoyed it but I'm ready to move on to another game.
