Achievements Earned In:
- The Book of Unwritten Tales 2
- State of Decay
- Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures
Okay, ‘nough playing around, it was time to buckle down and get through the final chapter of The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, but even with that intent it still took a few days. I would just rather do… almost anything else besides play this. I couldn’t care less about the story, much less a second time through, and it’s just not a fun time. There were no more skill-based achievements or anything, so it was easy enough to get to the end. FINALLY. And that’s the only/final stack, too, so I’m never playing this again!
Achievements unlocked: 50 (+14) | Completed
Dove back into State of Decay this week to start the Breakdown expansion, which should unlock the rest of the achievements I need. This is… gonna probably be tough. To get the final completion, I’m going to have to unlock all 34 of the “hero” characters you can get. To unlock them, you have to complete various in-game challenges that range from building all upgraded facilities to getting a particular number of kills with particular weapons to other miscellaneous tasks. There are six “levels” to the mode, with the materials/weapons/vehicles getting rarer at each increase and zombies becoming worse. And the achievements for this add-on are all also challenges, so just unlocking all of the heroes will get me the completion on the way. I’m still only on level one, and it’s definitely a little tougher; I died for the first time without meaning to! I’m trying to make sure my survivors are pretty strong and we have a good stock of gear before we move forward because I have a feeling this is not gonna be an easy ride.
Achievements unlocked: 38 (+1) | Completion: 83%
With the add-on in State of Decay giving achievements very infrequently, I was gonna need to use another game to keep my streak going. Decided to go back to Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures for this purpose, since it’s a children’s game and therefore pretty easy to jump in, get a quick achievement, and go back to something else. It’s a VERY straightforward platformer, and there’s little in the way of challenge. I’m sure once I’m done with the zombie game I’ll quickly knock this out before moving on.
