    The Cave


    It's a Xbox 360 game that is a bit different in the way there is 7 characters but only 3 playable so you have to play it a few times to play each characters special area and then there is common areas also. Short enough if you were to just play it once but not really when you play each character. I managed to get the achievement for not dying throughout a playthrough such an annoying thing to do as I did die many times but when straight to dashboard so had to replay the same thing many times. I died doing even simple things like climbing down a ladder as the character would just drop to their death rather than grabbing the ladder.

    Concrete Genie. Short game but, again, doesn't overstay its welcome unless trying to 100% it.
    Nice wee game and like I was saying in the PS forum, I enjoy games like this or Rain.

    One of the classic Nintendo games to add to the list:

    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... :D

    Nintendo Switch

    Super Mario Galaxy: Part of the Mario 3D All-Stars collection; wow this game is still very beautiful! How is it 13 years old? LOVED IT. Never played it before so all new to me; had played its sequel on the Wii U.
    Ori and the Blind Forest: Really enjoyed it, fairly short so didn't get stale at all. Loved the Metroidvania elements.

    Shinobi

    By beat I mean I credit fed the **** out of it but it still counts.

    Sega basically ripped off rolling thunder and made it ninja themed but actually managed to make an even better game than Namco's classic. Shinobi is one of the all time great arcade games. Wonderful stage design that's tough but fair. Great bosses as well. I really had a blast with this game and it really is one of the best arcade games of all time.

    Dragon Quest 2

    A massive step up in complexity from the very basic original. Really surprised how much I enjoyed this game. Battles are now with multiple enemies rather than single enemies. You also eventually have a party of 3 rather than the party of 1 in the original.

    What surprised me the most was how much strategy this game had to its battles. Status effect spells and buffs/debuffs are essential to beating this game and very effective. It's something even modern RPGs, with exceptions like Shin Megami Tensei, get wrong. It's still quite simple but at around 20 hours in length it ends before the game gets stale.

    It's a good insight into how JRPGs would develop and take from this game. It's easy to see why the series became so popular in japan with a second entry that improves so much on the first game.

    Watch Dogs 2


    Absolutely brilliant game. I played it before on PC and it's still a brilliant game and I hope legion will be as good.

    I loved collecting the money piles and research points by going down vents.

    Took everything that was good about Vendetta and made it so much better. The customisation is one of my favourite features. Once again, a solid fighter.

    More of the same Watch Dogs so yes it was a good DLC.

    I finished the Resident Evil HD Remaster yesterday and I found it mostly a frustrating experience. I know it's an old game and an old remaster but it really shows how much better game design is these days. The camera angle changing is infuriating. I also played as Chris and found the 6 item slots ludicrous, I spent so much time trekking back and forth to my item box. The puzzles are enjoyable so clearly there's a good game in there but the game design is too frustrating. I didn't bother with a playthrough as Jill because of it.

    Command & Conquer

    Played this in the excellent remastered collection. While it's a little archaic compared to modern RTS games it is still a heap of fun and very playable. A lot of this comes down to the excellent level design. It's usually pretty difficult to build up an army to steamroll the enemy but most levels have clever routes you can exploit to win. Finished Nod and GDI. Played through all the mission other than the final missions as they are exhausting so only did the one variant. Still have the covert ops and console exclusive levels but will probably jump into red alert.

    The remaster really is amazing. Looks gorgeous and it's packed full of content.

    Megaman X

    Have never actually beaten this game before now. It's a perfect example of why the 16-bit era was so good. Really builds and evolves the NES Megaman formula to the next level. Beating levels now affects other levels and can change stages dramatically adding an extra layer of depth to what level order you pick. It's a shame the later X games never followed up on this. They also added lots of worthwhile secrets to hunt out in the levels. It's just a top class 16-bit action game and one of the best from the era.

    Batman Arkham Knight


    It was alright of a game I suppose. I must of had it on too hard a difficulty as there was some tricky fights and then fights in vehicle was hard too I suppose. But got through it in the end.

    GAME Air Combat
    PLATFORM PlayStation

    I feel like I never gave combat flight shooters a fair go growing up. The only games in the Ace Combat series I've ever owned was Air Combat and The Belkan War, both of which I never played a lot of, and didn't enjoy that much (I also lost my old Air Combat disc so I repurchased it recently).

    Overall verdict on the original game;

    It was really fun, but it was very barebones. I suppose I can't complain about that, but the biggest challenge for me was trying to play it with the D-pad. My thumb is kind of sore as a result.


    GAME Ace Combat 2
    PLATFORM PlayStation

    Much, much better than the original. Finally was able to use the analog stick to maneuver, though the game teases you by allowing you to use the right analog stick to navigate menus and you can even calibrate both sticks in the settings. Beyond that, you can't use the right stick in-game at all. I think the dual-analog controller allows it, as it has 3 settings; the 3rd mimicking that of the dual joystick controls. Dualshock isn't dual-analog supported with this one.

    As for the game itself; it was a huge improvement. I really enjoyed the replay-mechanic, and being able to see a cinematic camera after you shoot enemies down was also cool for the time. I found it a little easier than the original, however, I dunno what it is. Maybe it was the aforementioned analog stick that made it simpler. But there wasn't a lot of mission-failures. Maybe a few but no more than a single-hand's worth. I died a lot on Air Combat from dumb mistakes.

    Crysis
    A fantastic shooter and still stunning looking for a game 13 years old. It dragged on in one or two places (Core & Ascension) but was otherwise a terrific experience.

    Dark Souls
    I quite liked this one. The combat and level design were great. There's not much of a story to speak of and its a little rough around the edges but it makes up for it in a pretty heavy atmosphere. I might pick up the second at some point.

    I know, I skipped Ace 3. I wasn't enjoying at all.

    I really, really enjoyed this one, though. Definitely the best one I've played so far. I still have a lot of others in the main series to get through - the next one being Ace Combat 05.

    GAME Ace Combat 5: Squadron Leader/The Unsung War
    PLATFORM PlayStation 4

    Wow. I didn't realise until after beating this that the Ace Combat series had a lore.

    Storywise this was pretty good, despite the fact I could barely keep up with the names of all the characters.

    Gameplaywise I kinda preferred AC04's style. I'm not much of a team-player so I didn't care much for the wingman mechanic. The only time I really needed them was the final mission. Definitely felt like the longest as well.

    Don't get me wrong I still loved the hell out of it.

    One major thing I liked was the removal of those "epic" missions from Ace 4, where I would sometimes be on a mission that would involve reaching a certain score within a ridicuously generous time limit. The missions never ended once I reached the required score, they continued until the timer went to zero, this would sometimes be as long as 20 mins. Delighted they weren't in this one

    The Return of the Obra Dinn.

    Managed to solve some fates on my own but nowhere near the total.
    Ended up using a walkthrough and although I joked about it, I think I would've needed a crime board to figure them all out. Or would've helped to be able to go quickly between scenes

    GAME Ace Combat: The Belkan War
    PLATFORM PlayStation 2

    I think if this game was made today, it would be an expansion DLC for Ace Combat 5. That's basically what this felt like.

    Doesn't take it away from being a decent enough game but that's as far as it went for me: decent.

    GAME Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
    PLATFORM Xbox 360

    I was a bit taken aback by the 30fps-lock at first but I got used to it after 2 missions. I found this one to be a little all over the place. The visuals were obviously a huge improvement (save for the character models) but I didn't like any of the main cast themselves. From a gameplay standpoint it's more Ace Combat, but when it came to combat itself, it was a lot easier, especially with the inclusion of the new squadron-command feature which, in my books, was way more streamlined than in Ace Combat 5. Once the bar was high enough, all I had to do was hold the "Allies Attack" command and half my work was done for me. There were times where the missions got way too hectic. I blame that on an Xbox 360 game taking advantage of the technology to shove more content onto the screen at once. Sometimes less is more, though.

    Overall it was good but I still found Ace Combat 5 and Belkan War to be superior when compared to them. Ace Combat 04 remains my favourite.

    Doom (1993)

    Well 27 years later, I've finally gone through all 3 of the episodes of the original Doom. Still good simple fun.

    I'm actually playing Doom II: Hell on Earth

    I'll go back to Ultimate Doom after I'm done with II. Playing in order of release.

    Just finished my second playthrough of Resident Evil 2. Really enjoyed it. I never played the original so I can't compare it to that but I can compare it to the Resident Evil Remaster and it's an infinitely better game due to the improved camera angles and inventory management. Excellent game. I'll move onto Resident Evil 3 in the near future.

    Bloodstained : Ritual of the night

    Reckon this could be the last game of the year for me . Was decent castlevania clone made by the original creator of symphony of night. Lacking in originality for me though

    Batman Arkham Knight[PS4] - a very good game although a few too many BS areas especially involving the batmobile. The biggest plus for me was Mark Hamill as the joker. He was genuinely hilarious at times. [edit]

    BioShock [PS4]- what an absolute masterpiece of a game. Enjoyed this so much. A definite must play if you like FPS/Horror.

    BioShock 2 [PS4] - another fantastic game in the series, as enjoyable as the first with a few loose ends tied up.

    Ratchet and Clank [PS4] - an excellent remake of an all time classic.

    Everybody's Gone to the Rapture [PS4] - an interesting storyline but effectively a slow walking sim.

    Journey [PS4] - such a beautiful game, especially when you meet a companion en route. Very relaxing.

    The Last of Us Part II [PS4] - Loved it, but perhaps not as much as the first. The one criticism that I'd have is that it seemed overly long with some unnecessary padding. Damn this is a tense game by the way.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration [PS4] - The female Nathan Drake and a cracking action/adventure game. You know what to expect if you've played others in the series.

    Stick it to the Man [PS4] - This is one of those hidden gems. A 2.5D platform puzzler with beautiful cartoony graphics and plenty of humorous dialog.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate [PS4] - At €9.99 an absolute bargain. Really enjoyed this game. London looks beautiful and full of life. The game is very easy though and gets even easier as you upgrade your skills and weapons.
