I was worried this was going to be a clumsy, artsy fartsy affair like Dear Esther, but it turned out to be a fairly straightforward and ominous sci-fi tale. Exploration is almost always rewarded with extras pieces of the story (and side stories). The area of the game was quite a lot larger and more varied than I expected. To top it off, it has one of the most beautiful sound tracks of any piece of interactive entertainment I have ever tried.

I would call it a benchmark for the genre and an essential title if you like this sort of thing.

Oh, and don't forget you can hold R2 to run!

R2 to run doesn't work indoors, during moments when it wants you to walk very-fucking-slowly or very much at all since the difference between running and walking is negligible and barely distinguishable.

Fight fight fight fight

They certainly could have done with making running an immediate, noticable effect.

It's an utter, utter joy to play, and remains one of my favorite games of all time, only it's even better now!

An incoherent mess. When the game decides it's ok to just be a solid shooter, it serves up a few sublime moments and great levels. But then there's all the other stuff, like driving and crafting and card games and fuck off already.

The twitch reaction shooting was clearly designed for mouse and keyboard as well, while the driving requires a joypad to enjoy. Since I couldn't find a way to disable rumble, that meant constantly plugging and unplugging my controller. The menus weren't comfortable either way.

The last level and ending was clearly someone throwing their hands up and deciding to just ship whatever they had.

1) Just Cause 3
2) Destiny: The Taken King
3) Carmageddon: Max Damage
4) Dragon Age Inquisition

Finally got round to finishing DA:I (and the dlc)...enjoyed it more the second time round. Now back to trying to finish Dead Rising 3 and muck about in Skyrim Remastered.

While the vibe and plot are still so wrong for a diablo game (does blizzard even cares about that anymore?), the game is fun and compelling. Grim Dawn and Path of Exile are both better though.

13. Borderlands 2

I liked the early game, before the enemies became HP sponges. At the end i was forcing myself to finish it so i could have another game in this list.


Been playing witcher 3, so it'll be a while before i update my list.

I thought this would appeal to my girlfriend since she loved the Endless Ocean games, but she looked on as I played the first bit and decided she didn't like the cartoonish look.

Personally, I am just a bit disappointed as well. The "story", or whatever that was, went over my head, if it did indeed make any sense. It is essentially an underwater "walking" sim, but it just didn't appeal to me much for some reason. It's not just the graphics as such, but all the mystical stuff like seemingly having running water underwater (Some mystical energy? Dunno) broke the immersion (aha ha, that joke again!) for me. And it certainly didn't help that the sound and music have an annoying quality to them, like it's all been compressed to a really low bit rate or something.

46) Titanfall 2 (PS4)

Where the hell did this come from? The single player is ace. There's a ton of pew pew pew and roaring Titan action, sure, but then there's this crackers time travel bit in it and then some rudimentary puzzle platformer bit and, well, some big ass action sequences too but that doesn't stick in my mind as much as the general fluidity of the package. It's Respawns best effort at pinching some of the ideas and pacing from games such as Half Life and cramming it into a CoD style campaign. Seriously impressive but marred by being too short. Did I mention it looks fantastic? It does. The bad guys are australian so, y'know, there's also that too. Not worth getting just for the campaign but then again neither has CoD, but with a brilliant multiplayer this is a corking little surprise package.

33. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

Final Fantasy Classic, distilled to its essence, and a triumphant return to form, lore- and storywise. Unlike previous consoles, the PS3 is almost able to do the Final Fantasy artwork justice, and it is one of the prettiest games on the PS3, although a couple of areas do feel a bit rushed. The second form of the final boss, though... Holy crap, one of the most amazing things I've seen in a video game.

The game might well be impenetrable to those who aren't familiar with the series, though, since a lot of the gameplay is super fast and automated. Apparently it proved divisive among fans as well, since it strips a lot of fluff, such as towns. Instead you do all your shopping "online", at the save points. It also returns to the very linear style of the older games.

Furthermore, you no longer give individual commands during battle except in a few very special circumstances, such as summoning and using items, and then you can only do this with the party leader. Instead, you choose among predefined roles for your characters. Roles are arranged into paradigms, and your main task during battle is to switch between these paradigms at the optimal moments. Characters will then act automatically according to their roles as defined by the paradigm. Battles are 100% real time fireworks displays and can be over in as little as 5 seconds! There are no MPs (magic is free), and HPs and status effects are reset at the end of every battle. Special TPs (technical points) are introduced, which is the only thing that has to be recharged over time and are used for a few special things like summons.

Any battle can be retried, which means an immediate reset to a position just before the battle was initiated. Same thing happens at game over, so no more agonizing over how far it is to the next save point. And no random battles, every battle can be anticipated, and many can be avoided altogether. Battles are carefully designed as well to make you face as many different permutations of enemies as possible.

As always with FF, though, when it comes to developing the characters, you either feel led by the hand, or if you wish to go your own way, that you don't really have enough information without a strategy guide.

Ultimately, it does feel slightly simplistic after XII, but on the other hand it doesn't feel as drawn out, and the more linear nature allows it to have an infinitely better story.

Yeah, ok, I'd got up to the final boss before I even touched any of the other games, so not as short as you may think. Still on the short side. ven more metroidy than 2. Some dark souls influences in there. Still fairly cheap.

How short are we talking for each of these and are they any good? Just had a yuuutoooobs and the pixel art looks really nice.

Remember the first one being great stuff but you basically went just to the right? NOW YOU CAN GO LEFT. It doesn't matter though because the game was just an infuriating mess. Thank fuck it's over. Avoid.

Well, you may as well play the first two, as they're free. https://rdein.itch.io/ (You'll need joytokey in order to play with a pad for these)
Probably about 1-2 hours each.
3 was about 1.5 hours, but you can rush through in much less time. I'd avoid easy mode, if I were you.
4 took 5 hours, according to the steams.

Generally speaking, quality goes up each time.

I forgot to put this one in shortly after Serious sam 3. Never before has a game made me wince quite as much. Fun though.

14. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

It's so sublime that i fear that everything will feel like shit afterwards. I'm definitely not going to touch anything which tries to have a serious plot and characterisation, because it will feel completely silly now (anything by Bioware and Telltale are off limits). And technically it's so understatedly beautiful, without ridiculous amount of bloom or particle effects.

Well, it's perfect, and now i'm off to play some racing, pinball or dumb fps game.

48) Mother Russia Bleeds (PC)

Streets of Rage meets Final Fight meets ultra violence meets Hotline Miami meets chunky pixel art meets Chuck Norris fist in your face.

It gets really sodding hard towards the end, like, really hard; so hard in fact that I had to add in a AI controlled bot to help me get through the last level even on "normal" difficulty. But a challenge has never been so much bloody fun. Loves it.

A bit disappointing that they took out the map and branching missions, leaving us with what is basically a clunky third person corridor shooter.

I do love the world and story (I even have the films and a comic book), otherwise I don't think I would have persevered with what is sometimes a very annoying game, even more so than the first in the series.

Films plural? I've seen the anime one, and it wasn't bad. Are there more?

There are two in all, Downfall and Aftermath. I have this double pack:

Which one have i already seen?

Probably the prequel Downfall. It's the one I know about.

49) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (PS4)

Y'know, how you remember it looking good on the 360, being immensely playable and sounding a treat? It's exactly how you remember it. It's not the same as the 360 version, obviously, because it's tarted up and all that but the remastering is just excellent and looks how you remember it through the filter of this gen visuals.

Anyway, I smashed through it on veteran and, frankly, it was too difficult but I sodding loved it. Apart from that fucking plane at the end which I wacked down to easy because SIXTY FUXKING SECONDS?! I did it on the 360 but it really tested my nerve. I'll get it eventually but, God-damn.

So it turns out that MW is a classic. Still.

Not as gripping or as fun as Lara Croft GO, but still pretty decent fun, and some rooms were quite challenging.

7) Tiny Bang Story (iOS) - Beautiful but short mini puzzle game, a bit like a mix between Machinarium and Professor Layton with a small amount of hidden objectness. Worth 79p.

35. Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below (PS4)

Well I finished the main storyline of this, and I need something to pad out this list. Some of the missions were quite hard playing as a single player game.

I haven't finished the main game yet, since this seems to fall right in the middle, level wise. In fact, I'm not sure I really get the overall structure of all this. What if you'd already finished the main game when this expansion came out? Would it then be stupidly easy, or what? And as I am doing the expansions, my level is going up way faster than the level of the story quests that I'm currently doing of the main game.

And now extra missions are appearing that don't seem to be a part of any particular story line, and some of them are way lower level and are marked as easy. Why are they appearing now?

Anyway, I am currently a level 25 Titan playing level 16 missions of the main quest and starting the House of Wolves storyline as well.

Edit: I am generally very much enjoying this game, btw.

1) Just Cause 3
2) Destiny: The Taken King
3) Carmageddon: Max Damage
4) Dragon Age Inquisition
5) Dead Rising 3

On their third attempt they got it right, removing all the things that removed the fun from the other games (especially DR1). Excellent fun when you just want to get your Zombie Murder on. Looking forward to DR4.

A new contender emerges. Against form, I have actually completed some games this year. And they're the newest, hottest titles around!!1!

1) Persona Golden: bonkers, engaging, grindy, charming. I think I got a bad ending, but have absolutely zero desire to jump back into the grind to see any of the other 6 million endings. Thoroughly enjoyed my time in this world though. Developed a bit of a crush in Chia.

2) Metal Gear Solid Revengeance: Bonkers and exactly the right length. Never fully got the hand of the controls and I probably fall slightly on the wrong side of the button-masher spectrum, but I was able to reliably slice and dice and grab spines when I wanted to, most of the time.

3) Uncharted Remastered: A portmanteau-ish of a review, I found this Unremarkable. Feeble guns, too many enemies, too many bits when I stopped playing for a period then came back and had no idea what I was meant to be doing. Which for a game that is basically on rails, is quite some achievment. Yet, when I finished this underwhelming experience, I felt compelled to dive straight into Uncharted 2, which I'm enjoying a lot more. More inventive, meatier weapons, more variety. However, my mind still wanders when I'm playing. It's all too easy to feel like you're just going through the motions and pushing directions and buttons when signalled, rather than actually playing something with some agency.

4) Steamworld Heist: As I've said elsewhere, love this game. May be the first game I try a New Game+ on.

5) Day of the Tentacle Remastered: Bliss from start to finish. Alcohol means I'd happily forgotten most of the puzzles, so was able to approach the scenarios with a weirdly uncanny unfamiliarity. Writing is spot on, the puzzles are largely satisfying and logical (the same can't be said for Broken Age, which I nearly completed this year). Having started again with Grim Fandango's remastered version and being put off by the clunkiness of the visuals and controls, was so relieved to discover such a thoughtful remaster in DOTT. Played on the Vita, the control scheme is super smart, and highlighting of interactive objects is a smart inclusion when cursor-waggling is not an option.

6) Actual Sunlight: Short, bittersweet game. Depression simulator with Hotline Miami-style-visuals. It's commendable and I'm glad I played it, but to be honest the writing wasn't strong enough for a game that is so text-driven.

7) Thomas Was Alone: Amazing. Started ages ago on the Vita and stopped for some reason. Restarted it this week and finished over a couple of commutes. Charming characters, delightful music, forgiving puzzles that never became too mind-bending (my capacity for such mental gymnastics is low, as evidenced by my stalled playthrough of The Talos Principle). I am buying the DLC at lunch and look forward to spending a few more hours in this world.

I got to the mission where they take all your weapons off you and make you fight a doctor or something while you're drugged up.

I hate missions that take weapons off me. I haven't been back to the game since.

There's a bit on the last disc of FFVIII where something similar happens. It was the last straw for a game I wasn't overly enjoying so I stopped there.

I get the feeling I'm not going to complete any more games this year as I'm currently switching between Binding of Isaac Rebirth, which I've already completed umpteen times over, to try and beat the game with all characters at all skill levels which is proving difficult, and Microsoft's Solitaire Collection which doesn't really have an end anyway, although at least I'm clocking up an achievement here and there as I go along.

Did you play Regency Solitaire? I really enjoyed that.

1. Assassin's Creed Syndicate PS4

The usual runny, jumpy and stabby game, the same as the rest of the franchise. I have not played since AC3 so was nice to go back and play. I enjoyed the running round Victorian London.
