The last game you completed, and rating.

Assassin's creed Rogue - 6.5/10.
Having played this after a significant gap from Black Flag, I still felt like I was playing the same game. The game itself did not clarify much on the core story line but was probably laying foundation for the next games in the series. Did shed some light on post Desmond Miles events in one of the temples that I was not clear on when I played the previous games based on the emails and notes collected. There were still some minor bugs in the game with one or two occasions where I was stuck during hiding in a bush. Enjoyed the naval game play much like the previous game.
Probably going to skip Unity and Syndicate, as I have managed to grab AC : Origins on the sale. Hopefully I havent missed much, might watch some youtube videos to be upto speed.

I liked the story angle of Rpgue, but I skipped all but the main quests and just rushed through it.

I didn’t mind unity and syndicate - they do some things better than origins and odyssey. Perhaps do them after origins and odyssey.
 
Wasteland 2: Directors Cut - 8.5/10

Really enjoyed this game, if your a fan of the genera is a blast to play. There is a learning curve and as the name implies there is an element of survival in that Ammo can be rare initially, you need play smart in terms of medic in some games, pick the right weapons and so on. But once you get going, it is an absolute blast to play, well recommend it. You do need to do some manual digging and investigative work, there is no compass marker saying you need to go here or there, no single way to complete quests and so on. In terms of content, its also fairly long, at least 50 hours.

+ Gameplay is great
+ Quests are open and flexible in how you approach them
+ Art style works great
+ Atmospheric
+ Works great on most systems
+ Quiet a gray world at times rather then black and white

- Levelling companions can be a pain. To an extent as companions your not using do not level up when in use, it means they quickly get left behind so usually a team you roll with will become it

If they were under a tenner or so then I would have considered buying them. Knowing how many bugs unity had post launch, I wasnt sure if any had been fixed and didnt want to spend time making it playable. The Syndicate Gold edition comes to about £17.5 and the origins was £18 for me so decided to go with that. But will consider buying them cheap and play through as you suggested. Odyssey is probably not on my horizon until it gets to sub £20 price, which it might do in a few months.
The bit that disappointed me with the series was the story outside of the Animus ie Desmond's. The stories inside the animus are still interesting and worth playing but not sure if they are leading to anything in respect to the story outside of the animus. I am quite impressed how the developers have baked the stories with real world historic events and how cohesive those are.

REmake 2 but already started a second run on Hardcore with Claire.

8.5 or maybe even 9 out of 10 as I still have lots of stuff to do:p Great atmosphere and graphics, runs great, solid reimagining of the orignal and a true return to survival horror roots. The game's also been made with multiple playthroughs in mind and is a speedrunner's heaven.

Some annoying stuff and I wish A/B scenarios were more different but we still have four variations + unlockable modes.

Would recommend to every survival horror fan and even people new to RE. Capcom is on a winning streak right now with this and DMC5.
 
South park fractured butt whole (switch) loved it but the last part dragged on and the ending was well disappointing considering everything prior in the game.

Switch had some technical issues too but there well documated I only had two of them so gets an 7/10
 
Wolfenstien 2: The new colossus 6/10

Loved the new order, but appart from better graphics and being able to kill Hitler, added little.

Coming in just after you on posts relating to this game again! :D

I'd agree with your rating too, I think.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I'd add appreciative comments about the depth of the character and levelling system and the options it allows. However, this also opens up reflections on negatives associated with skills and stats though - some really pointless skills and some fairly unambiguous dump stats. Also, some clearly fairly useless weapons. It all could have used a bit more balancing, really.

I also thought the final battle was very underwhelming as well. So much so that after it ended I named my savegame "final battle post round 1." I just assumed there must be more to come, but of course there wasn't. It left me with a bit of a flat feeling for my final moments with the game, which was disappointing.

But the world was great, it was full of character, the combat was fun, there were loads of options for character builds and quest approaches and outcomes. I got 66 hours from it and very much enjoyed pretty much all of them.

I really hope Wasteland 3 is able to build on the great foundations of this game.

Yeah agree in regards to weapons. Some lines were largely useless really which was kind of sad, hopefully we do see a revision with number 3. Also yep in regards to the final battle. I was expecting a sort of Act 3 to be honest, after going back to Arizona, but was very meh sadly.

Indeed, looking forward to number 3. World, quest and overall grittiness of the world was fantastic here.
 
...Wreckfest. Bought this on early access in 2014, and have been playing it on and off since then. Enjoyed the completed career mode, though it got a bit samey after a while. All in all a good purchase

7/10

LOL - posting a review of the console only game that all PC owners are waiting for - you're just rubbing it in aren't you :)

I'm not, I still haven't even played GTA V and I've had that for years. I always think, OK Ill like this Rockstar game, cause they always get hyped and good reviews but they always leave me underwhelmed.

I guess red dead though does appeal to me more in terms of the concept so I might give it a go once its cheap enough on PC, so like in 5 years.
 
Tropico 6 - 7.5/10

Pros
- It has the tropico charm and humour
- Where does the time go?
- Runs well, even with an increased population cap and an older CPU
- lots of new, interesting features such as raids and trade routes
- lots of new buildings and upgrades
- a great map generator that with a little practice allows you to generate any map/scenario you wish to
- the new multiple island concept
- some challenging missions

Cons
- no social security edict leading to a modern metropolis with broke retirees in shacks
- no continual campaign like T5 with only disconnected missions
- the maps lack life
- rebel radio is really lacking
- rebel attacks work a little strangely currently
 
Assassins Creed Origins 8.5/10

Just finished the main story line on this and playing some of the side missions and starting with the DLC now. The gameplay was an interesting change from the predecessors of the series. The setting (Egypt) was amazing and learned a few things about the historic links to Greece and Rome etc. that I didnt know about but which I then read about. The story line was well stitched together in terms of historical events. The combat mechanism was refreshing but at times found it disjointed where I couldnt chain from one to the other quickly enough, possibly as I might have been doing something wrong as well. Found that the missions were not too repeatative as some of the previous ones. There were the occasional bugs where the character or the horse would get stuck behind objects but otherwise it was fine with no crashes etc.

Overall a very well made and enjoyable game. Now onto the DLC and then to Unity.
 
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

8.5/10, very good setting, runs & looks great, brilliant and rewarding combat and captivating atmosphere. Just wish it was longer and slightly more fleshed out, then easily a 9/10 or even higher. Already started NG+.

DMC5

8/10, same as Sekiro in terms of technicalities - great optimisation and graphics, deep and varied combat system, lots of replayability (many difficulty levels, ratings etc.) but lacklustre locations. It's a game that gets better the more you master the intricacies of the combat and I didn't do that fully, I'll get back to it. For the price I got it at, it was a steal.
