But after 20 hours I couldn't take it and moved on to Witcher 3. Movement seemed clunky and difficult to handle, combat was awkward and unwieldy.I tried but couldn't make it passed the first few scenes. The first game in one of the finest franchises in the world. The mystery does seem interesting and I liked the detective gameplay so I may be back some day I started the game and found it interesting and enjoyed the puzzles but for some reason got a little bored and lost interest. These aren't necessarily bad games or games I disliked, just games I've played but can't currently recommend (yet) for whatever reason. I did of course play a lot more games than the above but for whatever reason I could not get into or otherwise could not investigate thoroughly enough the following games so here's my list of also rans aka the 'maybe next year' category. Strangely completely changed the voice cast too (which I didn't really notice until it was pointed out to me).īefore we have the winner, let's look at the games that haven't made the list: Swings and roundabouts in comparison to the first. The story is a lot tighter and concentrated meaning ultimately there far less of a mystery going on and more is spelled out to you, but in turn this means greater meaning and emotional impact to it. The areas themselves are just as creepy and the horror is played pretty well (although perhaps not as well as the first). To keep things scary and interesting in this respect it's offset by all kinds of random events that could trigger keeping you on your toes and meaning that the area you just cleared may not be the same as you remember it. For starters it's a semi-open world (or it's trying to be) meaning you have a lot more freedom of movement and exploration than its predecessor. Loved the first one and found this to be almost as entertaining, but very different in its own way.

My horror filled Halloween treat (or trick). If you haven't got it already you have to get this game. Compared to Origins it's a little rustier on the combat and movement, but excels in the RPG elements, the main story perhaps feels a little more rushed (but still amazingly epic) but every single side quest is a compelling story-driven masterpiece instead. Certainly one the finest games ever made.

A fantastic sprawling open world with beautiful varied environments, entertaining gameplay, tonnes of varied and enjoyable side activities and quests, crafting, levelling and choices galore and an epic story. It was epic and you can clearly see where AC Origins and a load of other sandbox/action-adventure/RPG games recently have gotten their ides. One of very few games over the years that has breached the 200 hour (single player) barrier for me.

I tried to play both The Witcher and The Witcher 2 and just couldn't get into them, so my bar was already set pretty low when I started Witcher 3. It sounds somewhat boring and repetitive but it's in fact a surprisingly effective way to keep you on your toes and keep changing things so you never know what to expect.

Long story short, no two playthroughs are the same. But parts of the environment are procedurally generated, so things change, more of the reality of the situation is revealed as you go through and the corruption in the simulation increases as time goes on. You rinse and repeat until you unlock everything, complete all the objectives, and escape with all five in a single run. You go through a simulation based on the records of a moonbase that was overrun by the Typhon and you must try to escape with one of five characters - with different escape methods and different objectives - ostensibly with the goal of exposing the actual truth of what happened. A year later a this DLC debuted and.its very hard to describe and do it justice. I played Prey last year and found it to be a brilliant gaming experience.
