This is quite possibly the hardest game I've ever finished but also one of the very best games of all time. It's a triumph of mechanics and inventiveness over... well, accessibility and marketability. It's a hard game to understand and the demo is terrible. It's taken me three games a few years before this series has finally clicked. The mechanics aren't well explained. But it's amazing once you understand it. There's insane risk versus reward mechanics where you can fire out up to 4000 shots in one go but to do so you need to place yourself very close to enemy fire. But more importantly is balancing your dash and i-frames. It's an impossible to understand without playing it and watching someone play it will just confusing. The level design is really inventive where the same can change how it plays totally from one level to the next and even change genre.
It's such a shame this game is stuck on the XBox 360 as a digital game.

Own these all on the nintendo handhelds and never gave them more than a quick go on the DS. Found the mobile version was the perfect way to play the game in small bursts.
The HD version has had all the art touched up and it now looks gorgeous. The puzzles also work perfectly on a touch screen. The only big issue is the movies that either require you to turn your screen for fullscreen or play them in a tiny letterboxed mode.
As for the game, I enjoyed it but it's not perfect. The puzzle aspect doesn't really sit that well with the investigation aspect and the story never gets going until the final act. And even then the story is the usual crap from Level 5 and feels like the awful Ni No Kuni. However the puzzles are mostly excellent and there's a lot of them. Definitely a worthy game to have on the phone.
I hear the sequels get an awful lot better in terms of their story so looking forward to playing them.

Another PS4 game, to complete the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection:
PC
Dark Souls III: Very enjoyable as expected; took my time with the playthrough (approx 50 hours) as I know I won't play it again due to backlog.
PS4
Doom: The 2016 game; just loved it! Manic mayhem throughout.
Firewatch: It was ok but a bit of a letdown after all the rave reviews TBH
Uncharted: Drakes' Deception As the earlier two, really good fun. Just like being in a blockbuster summer movie! Not much of a challenge but's that's OK after Dark Souls III...
Nintendo Switch
Ori and the Blind Forest: Really enjoyed it, fairly short so didn't get stale at all. Loved the Metroidvania elements.0 -

Both are based on the War of the Roses.
I'd go so far as to say FF Tactics is a far, far better story than GOT. I've started it on Android myself and chipping away at it. Early days but staying away from the baptism of fire that is Dorter Trade City until I've a few better classes.

Yeah, Ovelia gets it roughbut think she is a great character and is a great stand in for how war affects the innocent and down trodden and how used they are.
I loved the story. Even in the barely english PS1 version. I'm looking forward to enjoying the decent translation from the android/PSP version.
If you ever want more of the same try Tactics Ogre. It's even grimmer as it's based on the Balkan war of the 1990's. So loads of ethnic cleansing.

Finally finished this game and the post game content and DLC. Firstly it's an awful PC port. runs like garbage and needs to be fan patched to run with a surround sound set up and to not crash.
I really enjoyed this game and despite some issues it's such an interesting game that it outweighs the frustrations. It's a game that really makes do with what it's got. It's low budget so maximises it's budget by reusing areas but in different time periods. It's saddled unfortunately with the FF13 world and characters but doubles down on what was so good about that game, namely the combat which is expanded and the music which is excellent. Unfortunately it's set in the same world as FF13 which means nothing makes a lick of sense and you are never fully engaged with the characters and setting. It's a shame as I can see that they went for a chrono trigger vibe with post game endings which range from amusing to bleak but don't have any impact because you just don't care about them. They did make the game a lot less linear than FF13-2 and it's a much better game due to it.
Now for the bad. The post game grind for upgrading your monsters is ridiculous but you need them if you want to try some of the post game coliseum bosses. There's a few puzzles that are a nice distraction except for the clock puzzles which are garbage but thankfully there's an online calculator for solving them.
The DLC was great as well. Snow's DLC is a bunch of post game coliseum fights against returning characters from the FF series. You really have to take advantage of the battle system here and while there's some bull**** (the gilgamesh and snow fight) they were fun to figure out. Sazh's DLC was two gambling games and a short quest to find some chocobo chicks in the casino. One of the gambling games is a rubbish version of roulette. The other is texas hold'em. Sounds crap but the AI isn't too tough and I actually really enjoyed this. And then there's lightnings DLC which is a one on one fight with the main villian Caius. Lightning levels up separately and you basically keep trying to beat Caius to a five star rating which unlocks a new super boss to take on one on one. This one is quite enjoyable and you really have to use the battle system to your advantage to win. It feels like a practice run for the FF13-3 battle system. You also get the canon ending that leads into FF13-3.... which is a bit of a dick move.
So tl;dr I really enjoyed this despite it being utterly daft and it's a much better game than FF13.

Left my full thoughts on this on in the spoilers thread. No need to repeat them here as I've a lot to say about it. It's a very disappointing game, definitely the most disappointing of the year for me so far. It's actually quite a fun game with good encounters even if it's a good 7 hours too long. But the story just isn't great. It adds nothing to the original by being a sequel and it just doesn't go anywhere or mean anything in the end. Hollow is how I'd describe it.

I didn't mark this as complete last year as I had the DLC to beat which I only just got around to.
What can I say about this game that hasn't already? If you want balls to the wall action and excitement it's pretty much one of the best action games in the last 10 years. Set the controls to realistic and just enjoy the mayhem. The controls are perfect, it looks stunning and the soundtrack is a cracker.
As for the DLC, it's three missions but all three are excellent and all three are insanely tough. I had to knock the difficulty down to easy. The first is a mostly air combat orientated affair. Plenty happening in it to keep you on your toes and it ends in a boss dogfight.
The second is mainly focused on taking out ground targets. Lots of fun to be had as well and ends in another dogfight.
The last is the highlight and is one long boss fight against a gigantic submarine. Gameplay changes up constantly and it's a bit of a visual spectacle.
