The last game you completed, and rating.

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition 8.8/10

Loved it was a nice ending to a trilogy but I prefer the first one most as it gives that tense creepy atmosphere plus the scenery.
 
Assassins Creed Odyssey 7/10. Felt like a very rushed ending, was expecting a little more depth in the last couple of missions to round off loose ends.

Value for money its one of the best games I've played, however there is so much side content it gets a little silly and boring. Total of 60 hours played and I could quite easily be doing side quests and DLC for another 30 hours.

May revisit some of the DLC in future but for now im all AC'd out.
 
Days Gone 9/10

Wow what a game. Has to be the most under appreciated game I've ever played! Amazing, immersive world, superb motion capture and voice acting (apart from Deakon's random outbursts...ahem), really emotive story. The hordes are just crazy and a real challenge.
Incredible graphics with easily one of the best HDR implementations I've ever seen. Really really impressive stuff.

My only criticism is the missions can feel repetitive in the final 3rd and I thought the game was just too long. It should have started to wrap up a few hours before the end but it dragged unecessarily.

Apart from that though, fantastic game.

Rimworld
10/10

Played it for hundreds of hours, complete it, start a new game. Wonderful.

Played it for ~700hrs. As far as I remember I only finished it once, few of weeks ago, I might have finished it when I bought it back in A17 or A18, I remember building the ship but don't remember if I ever launched it. Usually once I establish the colony I restart the game with different mods.
 
Fallout 4 - Absolutely loved this game a couple of years ago, turned sanctuary into a fortress. Had to stop playing in the end as the settlement was too big and it kept glitching. I don't think there was a set of Power Armour I didn't own.
 
Abzu - 7/10

I played this one first, before...

Journey - 8/10

Turns out both are very, very similar experiences. In fact Abzu is basically "Journey, but underwater."

Both are basically interactive story books more than video games. I'm not sure you can actually fail (see a "game over") in either?

Journey had a few more clever design touches, and so scores a bit higher.

Both are occasionally a little artsy-fartsy and high on symbolism. Since they're both very short games/stories neither outlived their welcome.

Looking back it's quite uncanny how similar they are to each other.

'Completed' ...

Dungeonmans can't be completed by any mere mortal.

10/10, most enjoyable game where I've had thousands of characters die so far.

Oh please. Mad Jack had to create a DLC that does nothing but make the game unfairly hard because people were complaining about it being too easy.

(At least, that's his excuse and he's sticking to it.)
 
Terminator Resistance. A fairly average game in just about every way however the final assualt with the Terminator theme tune playing in the background, headphones on with volume and haptic bass cranked up, was truly awesome! An extra half a point due for that! Also an extra half point awarded for being brave enough to not have the screen go black when you're "getting down". 8/10

That was a joke. The whole game is a joke.

You die constantly.

People call the game too easy as an extra joke. Like Dungeon of The Endless using 'Too easy' and 'Easy' for Normal and Hard.

The expansion was making fun of 'pay to win' by adding 'pay to lose' to add more ways to lose the game. Instant death mechanics a plenty to guarantee more dead characters.

The guy that made the game had to nerf Iron mode because people tried only playing it on iron mode then left negative reviews and demanded refunds due to it being impossible. You now have to reach level 10 in a normal game to unlock iron mode in which you can only have a single character and single death.

Battlefield 4
8/10

Is it every really completed? But I'm amazed at how well this game has held up - 8 years old and still so much fun.

It's because if any game is rated lower then you probably won't complete it. :)

Yeah there won't be many games getting under 6/10 unless they are short or maybe a sequel to very popular games (meaning people will persevere because they loved an earlier game in the series).
I have a tendency to grind through mediocre games once I've committed to them but even then if I complete it it's probably going to be 13/20 or above.
 
Ori Will of the Whisps 10/10

One of, if not the best game I’ve played. An absolute masterpiece, visually, game design, breathtaking audio and soundtrack, a lovely story. I might have gotten something in my eye a couple of times. Very challenging and not usually my type of game, but it was worth persevering. Some of the chase segments were frustrating, but wow, what a game.

Fallout 4 was the reason why I upgraded every part of my PC apart from the sound card and the drives. I have it modded for construction. Height limit removed, thousands of extra building items and, most importantly of all, the Place Everywhere mod. Absolute game-changer, that mod. All in all, I had dozens of building-related mods installed. I spent many hours scavving because I decided that I would acquire everything I needed for the building ingame. No free building, no resource-increasing mods, no console commands to summon resources. Also, no framerate :) It dropped under 10 fps in the settlement I was working on at the time. I think 4fps was the lowest I saw. Somewhere around that. That wasn't even Sanctuary, which would have been the biggest settlement. I turned that into a walled city, but it was the first settlement I worked on and it wasn't very complex. It was Starlight that prompted the upgrade. I'd turned it into a trading hub city, with a theatre, a library, a hospital, a tavern, an inn, a rooftop restaurant (called, unsurprisingly, Starlight), a laundrette (fully functional - one mod I installed created working washing machines) and, the main framerate tank, a block of flats. 36 sizeable flats, each one fully furnished and individually decorated. Do It Yourshelf and Creative Clutter mods are the dog's danglies for decorating Fallout 4 settlements.

I never did finish Starlight. I kept switching between my settlements (~30, IIRC) roleplaying as a benevolent but slightly unhinged dictator. So I'd improve the living standards for all my devoted followers settlers. Plus, of course, work on the massive museum and monument to myself in Sanctuary. In between slaughtering hordes of gunners to acquire enough combat armour and rifles to equip every one of my settlers and have enough spares to equip an army. Maybe more than slightly unhinged.

The last game I completed was Dead State Reanimated, which I'd give a solid 8/10. Looks very dated. Badly optimised. Buggy enough to have CTDs. Combat is very slow if there are more than a few enemies in the area as the game slowly churns through a turn for every one of them, including seconds of animation for enemies not even within view. But a very good game nonetheless.
 
Have recently finished the Mafia (definitive) collection.

Mafia - the updated graphics are impressive as are the other improvements. Really enjoyed this.
Mafia 2 - Feels a little dated now with regard to graphics but gameplay still good.
Mafia 3 - Took a while for me to get into this but when I did I really enjoyed it though am still not sure about the ending.

Overall, if I was to recommend just one of the Mafia games it would have to be the revised and updated first one. Great story and atmosphere.
