“I am a Warden, this is my oath!”
Achievements Earned In:
- Highguard
- Rattyvity Lab
Yup, I started Highguard, the current punching bag of the gaming community. After a (some would say ill-advised) reveal as the final world premiere at last year’s Video Game Awards, it was immediately derided as… well, I’m not really sure what their problem was. The community definitely seemed confused what exactly it was. Personally, when it was being shown I understood right away that it was a hero shooter where the gameplay is centered around raiding the enemy’s base. Not really all that complicated! The only reason I hadn’t started it yet was due to a few difficult-sounding achievements, like an achievement for wiping the enemy team as the last man standing, or another achievement for winning a match in under 12 minutes without anyone on your team dying. I actually joined a boosting session on Sunday to start the week off with knocking out most of these hard ones… but then that fell apart, as we could never match up. But, to even begin the session I had to complete the opening tutorial, which itself unlocks an achievement! That means I was stuck now, but I soon easily began earning all the described achievements and most of the others on my own. Huh, guess I didn’t need help! By the end of the week, I mostly needed the grindy achievements, like disarming 20 bombs and getting 77 legendary weapon kills. They’ll come! If not for a video project I’m working on nightly, I would have probably finished this before the week’s end! Great game so far, and I think my Warden of choice is Una.

Give me a discount or the… cute furry thing gets it!
I needed to boot up Rattyvity Lab on Wednesday to keep my streak going, which involved completing now the third level. I’ve barely had to play this one, but it’s definitely one of the better-made garbage games I’ve played.
