    I hope to play this soon. I'm building a new PC in February and want to play the game for the first time with the next gen update.

    I've been playing Skyward Sword HD, and I'm trying my hardest to enjoy it. Overall, the game is fun, but the "motion" controls (I'm doing the right thumbstick as the sword configuration) are really grinding my gears. I just want to press a frigging button to attack. This game is going against everything my 38+ years of gaming experience has taught me. And I don't like it *old man yelling at the sky*

    I finished The Witcher 3 (including both DLCs) yesteday. Man I really enjoyed the game. Sure, the combat isn't great and riding Roach is pretty terrible. But the story and the quests are really great overall.

    Anyway, after that I started playing Need for Speed: Unbound.

    Is a game likely to be bad if it comes out with zero fanfare and a few months later there are still no reviews or video reactions? My friends and I like couch co-op games like Overcooked and Catastronauts. There was a new game released last fall -- Work From Home -- that I still can't find a review for and there's only one reaction video on YouTube that's not informative at all.

    Skyrim....

    But, there is something amazing about being about to play the Special Edition in Ultra Settings in Full HD with constant 60fps plus on a laptop that cost me £150.

    As such, in many ways the game feels quite new!

    Its honestly remarkable how quickly tech advances.

    I think it's likely that the game doesn't have much of a promotional budget. Either that, or the fact that it's possibly a bad game leads it to being released at the last moment with a review embargo to prevent reviewers from tearing it apart before it releases. This sometimes results in not many people knowing about the game.

    I played a great ancient addictive game called Gazillionaire with my friends. I can't believe they never made a sequel/new version of it

    Phantom Doctrine - a sort of X-Com clone set in the 70s where you control a spy organization that has to unravel a conspiracy.

    Still trying to do a mission without having to fight at some point, there is an extensive stealth mechanic but at some point you run out of options to sneak by cameras or guards and have to trigger an alarm.

    136 hours into Witcher 3 and I think I'm only just over the halfway mark of the main story. Including the DLCs, I'm going to rocket past 250 hours I reckon. This game has everything, but most importantly - it has Gwent.

    Finished up Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition today. One of the greatest science fiction stories of the 21st century. Absolutely loved every minute of this play through.

    I'm switching between The Callisto Project and Dead Space when I get stuck.

    Lately I've been playing Hi-Fi Rush and I'm really enjoying it.
