Yeah I really enjoyed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Great games. Arkham Origins was not very good. Arkham Knight was good but I was tired of the franchise by that point. Everything had become rather repetitive.

First two games are must-plays though (with a healthy gap in between so the combat still feels fresh).

Talking Two gems

Alien Isolation and SOMA which I loved!

I always complain about modern horror games being superficial and poorly executed, but these two titles have impressed me! The guys from FRICTIONALGAMES Studio did indeed resurrect the horror games genre.

“Call of Cthulhu” 5/10

$59 is way too much for such an underwhelming game. $20 would’ve been more fitting.

The last game I beat was Yakuza Kiwami. I love the Yakuza games a lot.

Can you be a little more specific, Angra? I was thinking about picking this one up as I love CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth and was excited for another legit Lovecraft game, but if it’s that lame...

You like coc, huh?..

Well, nothing really works about this game.

1. The graphics aren’t very good.

2. The dialogue sounds weird as if the editor was in a hurry.

3. The gameplay is very uneven and can’t decide which kind of game it wants to be.

4. Some of the stages are really annoying and most of them just not very exciting.

5. It’s a mystery game, not really horror.

Only thing going for it, is that the story feels like a Lovecraft story. Just not a story I would like to read again.

Just re-finished the first Bio-Shock.
Anything is going to show it's age by this stage but to be honest it's still somewhat impressive...the water, reflections, the "scenery" both indoor and outdoor.
I did the "good guy" finish.
Not sure how many endings there were, I remember there being 3 or more?
It was an impressive game...though the standard enemies were not all that creative and didn't have a hell of a lot of variation...though the combat was solid and the amount of things you can hack and manipulate make for some interesting and varied ways of playing the game itself.
I liked it.
I'd give it a 7/10, which is what I thought in the first place.
It wowed back in the day - and holds up fairly well this many years later.
Plot-wise, well there's that "twist" which while I was expecting, still impressed me in and of itself.

Man of Medan ps4 8/10

I never found out who the man of Medan was, but the game was damn good. Almost as good as the former Until Dawn. This time the story was inspired by the movie Ghostship.

I played two PS4 games this month.

The Last of Us Remastered (PS4)

Fantastic. While I enjoyed the action, especially against human APC's rather than zombies, it was the characters driving the story along that I loved and kept coming back for. Wonderfully written and voiced, I really enjoyed this game.
9/10

Uncharted 4 (PS4)

I enjoyed the climbing aspects, they managed to keep them engaging and fluid without being frustrating. The game is beautiful to look at. I found the combat to be annoying, especially as I was playing Hard difficulty, with awkward cover mechanics. The APC's had good flanking strategies, but were so overwhelming in numbers at times that it made for some frustrating combat. And the stealth was rather lacklustre.

It was the characters, the acting, the dialogue and the story that I loved, which kept me interested and entertained throughout. For that, even though I wasn't a fan of the combat, I give this game high marks.
8.5/10
