The last game you completed, and rating.

I'm not the best with a controller but the combat side of the game wasn't overly challenging for me until the near the end of the game. The last few level were the only negative really, they were just kill boxes really with too many enemies to kill and not a lot else.
Are there difficulty options?
 
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast - 8.5/10

After the Nar Shaddaa streets the game is fantastic. While the rest of the game is not perfect by any means, the first few levels and the forced stealth section of the game easily knock a point off the overall due to frustration.

The first few levels where you only have blasters are annoying due to the terrible accuracy of the automatic weapons and the single shot weapons are too slow due to the usually high number of enemies. They're still fun, but after you get the lightsaber the game jumps up a notch in the fun department. The first level after receiving the lightsaber however involves stupidly accurate snipers, many of which are out of range for saber combat so you have to strafe in and out of cover hoping to hit them and one even hides in an almost pitch black area on the other side of the map that you can barely see when zoomed all the way in with a sniper.

The only other complaint I have is the forced stealth section which I'm sure you all know is terrible (are they ever good?).

Overall though a very fun experience and I'm now downloading the demo level just to get more Katarn :D.
 
Wolfenstein : The New Order.

+ great combat (probably the most enjoyable I've played since F.E.A.R.)
+ on the whole, the visuals / cut-scenes were pretty good (I thought the less well textured areas weren't as bad as RAGE)
+ a few surprise moments that I wasn't expecting :D

- I found the sound of BJ's voice when talking to himself more of a nuisance than anything else / couldn't always quite make out what he was saying
- can't remember his name, but the Scottish chap - whom I quite liked to start with, also became a pain in the neck as time went on
- QTEs! I wasn't always totally sure what I was supposed to be doing

Overall, a good game but not quite one I found to be worthy of greatness (8/10).

Fairy Fencer F. 7.5/10
A turn based Japanese RPG- but a breezy modern take on it.
Originally a PS3 game, and reflected in the textures but other than that it's a very good port that does 4k well.
The plot itself is Ok, and has an interesting take or two, but the story telling is poor, and unconvincingly portrayed by static chars in cut scenes, like a visual novel. However the characters themselves are a diverse and entertaining bunch and rescue it somewhat.
What makes the game though is its combat, truly a modern adaptation of turnbased combat that is both reassuringly traditional while also evolved some excitement, allowing you to move freely on the 3D battlefield, with position being pivotal for skill usage. Best of all is an animation auto-skip feature allowing you to zoom thru battles, negating the games grindy nature for the most part, and forever banishing prolonged animations that have previously plagued the genre - 2 minute knights of the round summon etc.

Overall its for genre fans only, and grim dark its not.

Just done this game also, I done the Fergus story, Game seemed rather short completed within 10 hours with some idle time on steam, I payed 4.99 for it which was well worth it however when it first came out no way would it be worth £39.99

According to steam, I took 18 hours. I'm not sure that's totally accurate, though. I think I paid around the same for it too; there's no way I'd buy it (or almost any other game for that matter) for day one release price. No need to these days anyway, what with key sites being rife. :)

Only game I have played that I bought so far from the Steam sale.

Loved it.

Very playable from the first moment and quite challenging. A great soundtrack to boot.

The controls were fantastic. I found it very difficult to put down this one until I completed.

Been smashing Far Cry 4 since finishing this one last week...
 
Rise of the Tomb Raider - Story only, so not 100%

7/10, it was good but seemed to drag on for me. Also it was derpy in some places which in the end caused me to fall to my death.
 
I think that would be Just Cause 2 back in December. I'd give it an 8/10, with mods. Just the perfect thing to sit back and relax and it's successor is more of the same, which I'm content with (others perhaps not so much).
