Metro: Last Light

1. Metro: Last Light

January. The monster sections were a pain in the ass. Design clashes with intent.

Crysis 3

2. Crysis 3

January. You can't hide in the bushes. It doesn't work. THAT'S STUPID. So is the plot, which is oddly prevalent. Other than that it's Crysis 2 but not as interesting. Not as interesting as Crysis 2. Not as interesting. As Crysis.... two.

Risen 2: Dark Waters

3. Risen 2: Dark Waters

January. Current. Dumbed down a bit but it's got the same heart.

Arcania: Gothic 4

4. Arcania: Gothic 4

January-February (by one day!) Speaking of having heart, this has none. It has no organs. It's like you see a dead person and you do an autopsy and its just straw and then you're like "doh that was a scarecrow not a person!" This game is a scarecrow

Two Worlds II

5. Two Worlds II

February. DNF. It's not as braindead as Arcania, which I finished purely out of spite, and it goes the distance with wacky systems. It's just that the act of moving around and slicing critters and/or dudes is fundamentally busted feeling so it's not worth sticking around yeah? The first game remains a palatable idiot ride, though. I stand by that.

Quake

6. Quake

February. Never played it on nightmare before, so I did. I always thought nightmare in this would be as stupid as Doom's nightmare but it's not. The game rises to the occasion

Dishonored

7. Dishonored

February. The DLC! Roughly a year after I finished the main game! City Trials was a stupid cash-grab, but the true expansions were lovely.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

8. Donkey Kong Country Returns

Feb-March. DNF. Love the old ones, dont like this one.

Saints Row IV

9. Saints Row IV

March. I liked 3 better because it was more 'madcap' while this one draws most of its comedy from playing silly stuff straight. Didn't feel like a DLC that had been made big, either! The radio was disappointing, I didn't really like ANY of the songs. I wish I couldve imported the blood dragon soundtrack.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

10. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

March. I played this listening to podcasts and stuff. 100%ed it so UI guess i'll post it on here
