Code Name S.T.E.A.M.

Date played: March 14th
Platform: 3DS
Session fun rating: 8/10

I played a bit more of Code Name S.T.E.A.M., though again, I had to replay some of the missions from the very long demo I played a few weeks ago. There were a few extra missions in between, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. I think playing the demo really prepared me well for the real game. Many times, I found myself in situations where I could apply the lessons I learned in the demo.

I gained the ability to use sub weapons which plays a big role. I now have a medic gun to heal my team. I gained a boiler too, but I'm not sure what those things even do or how to equip them. I've been learning to use overwatch efficiently. In the demo, I was using a lot more than now. It's mainly because I've learned to target enemy weak points a bit better. I have a third party member too, Lion. He is literally a lion...with a crossbow. He can also jump on top of platforms and enemies for heavy damage.

The coolest new mission was right inside Buckingham Palace in London. Abe Lincoln ordered us to save Queen Victoria from the alien invaders. Yep. I like this game, but it's a bit on the slow side sometimes.
