Currently Playing in 2019....

Offline:
The Witcher 3 DLC - Currently at a wedding while being possessed!
The Long Dark - Keeping warm in an old barn that I found in the middle of nowhere, I have enough supplies to keep me alive for a few days, just waiting for a break in the weather to get out and find shelter in a house.
The Flame and the Flood - haven't played much but MAN this game is hard, like, really hard.
The Solus Project - Interesting and creepy survival sim, just came across some eggs Alien style.

Online:
Dying Light The Following - I'm not ashamed to say that I can't really play this game alone so only play online with mates, it really is glorious fun, gorgeous also.
Halo 5 - Griffball is merked cos of splash damage but BTB and Warzone Assault are my babies, just can't get enough of them.
FIFA 16 - online clubs, Division 5, getting harder now.

The Talos Principle - PC

I'm not a huge fan of the tetromino puzzles but the rest is pretty good. I'm now doing the harder puzzles and there are some real head-scratchers. I also like the pretty deep philosophical debates you have with the computer terminals over the nature of consciousness etc., more so than the pretentious indie bullshit from The Witness.

Best game of 2014 by a miiiiiiiile.

I finished the main story of Sunset Overdrive and I'm just doing the side missions now. I will probably stop playing it by Friday (gotta get that Twilight Princess HD).

This might be the best thing I've played on this console. It has been a blast.

I finished the campaign in Dragon Quest Heroes. For most of the game I was a bit over levelled so I thought I'd give some of the post game stuff a look, turns out the reverse is now true and I'm woefully under levelled.

Just started The Taken King missions on Destiny. Even now graphically it doesn't disappoint and is stealth best game of the gen. Interested to see what they will do for Destiny 2.

Finished up episode 4 of Tales from the Borderlands. Ok, not really a game as such and more of an interactive story, but just so good. This is leaving me wishing that they made an actual film out of this or at least another Borderlands game with this as the story.

The "gunfight" with the accountants.

Sending DmC back. Unfinished.
I think I would have enjoyed it, IF ONLY THE GAME DIDN'T KEEP THROWING WEAPONS AT ME.

Waiting on The Witch and the Thousand Knight. Will be playing SteamWorld Dig, Hitman GO and Hitman beta (is that still up?) until then.

Rainbow Six Siege (PC version) has proven to be interesting, even from a solo play point-of-view. Solo modes 'Situations' (10 training levels vs AI opponents) and 'Lone Wolf Terrorist Hunt' (essentially solo player vs AI on all the usual MP maps) have both been intense, the AI proving brutal even on a 'Normal' level of difficulty (no 'Easy' mode - as if to underline how 'serious' this game is about its intended audience). The game contains just enough solo-centric content to make it worth an investigation from SP's like me (after some due diligence and research, I got it for around £21.95 as a Uplay key). The only real downside is the inclusion of the entirely surreal 'suicide bomber' AI enemy type which can too often be a cheap game-breaker - it's a baffling misstep from a developer who presumably otherwise understands the 'real-world' feel of the Clancy verse.

I played a couple of online Terrorist Hunt games, but I actually prefer offline against the AI, solo (for which you still earn points and can build a career, but as usual, offline modes don't reward you with as much XP as online games - one day developers will finally grow up and stop needlessly penalising offline solo vs AI players. It'll only take one dev to take the lead...)

I'm playing through the demo of Bravely Second at the moment. I have the full version but I want to finish the demo first.

There seems to be little love for this game... Which saddens me.

I loved Bravely Default and have really looked forward to this. Everything feels familiar in a good way, brings back lots of memories. The demo seems to be more balanced than the one I played for Bravely Default in which my party got completely trashed by the first enemies they encountered. It almost put me off buying the full game.

Witcher 3 - Picked this up digitally in the Christmas sale (and then traded in the physical copy) as I've come to the conclusion I can only play one disc based game at a time (and that is Lego Dimensions with the kids). So a couple of months down the line and I'm still completely smitten. I'd previously got to Velen on my last playthrough before moving on and had to restart as it wouldn't work with the later version I'd downloaded. I'm now around level 15 and just been to Novigrad for the first time. I'm also still finding out things about playing the game even 15-20 hours in (I only discovered the other day that reading non-quest based books can add alchemy recipes or bestiary info and I was around level 13 before I realised that matching mutagens with the same colour skills added bonuses ). Oh and the godlings are just about my favourite game characters since Morte from Planescape Torment.

Even the most bog standard RPG quest in Witcher 3 is just padded out with some much extra, interesting information. I've also got the season pass so I must have at least another 100-120 hours playtime. I think this may just last me all year.

Grim Dawn - Not the best looking arpg but is just as addictive as Diablo III, has an interesting Lovecraftian setting.

Seems a bit more polished/balanced now it's been fully released too.

Still Dragon Quest Heroes on PS4. I just have one of the super bosses left to take down but judging by my past attempts I don't think I'll be doing it any time soon.

Having finished God of War 2, started on the final GoW game for now - God of War Ascension
Wow, graphically it's a huge leap forwards isn't it? Glad I played this last otherwise I might have struggled going back to playing the earlier games.

Also slowly picking off the last few trophies in Rory McIlroy PGA. Only got the challenge related ones left to platinum it but they might take some time so only dabbling with this at present.

My main game at the moment is Flame Over. One of this month's free PS+ games. Mostly playing it on Vita (6hrs so far) but a separate PS4 version has also had about an hour.

I love this game. Everyone should give it a go. Its in the same vein as Rogue Legacy with each new game seeing a new map generated. It's hard to begin with (took me over 2 hrs to be able to complete the 1st level but as I've sussed tactics out I've progressed to the Executive levels (5-8). Tough it may be but it is simply gorgeous on the Vita 1000's screen. The fire effects are tremendous and the way a room is consumed by fire if you don't act quickly enough is brilliant. Highly recommended

Axiom Verge on PS4. So far this is a pretty good Metroid clone especially since it was all done by one guy.

Vita version has been sent to Sony for assessment/whatever. Should be out Soon-y.

I have been spending a lot of time on bloodborne again so that i am sufficiently levelled up to play through the old hunters dlc. Even at level 90 it is still really tough and i need to regularly summon online help!

Yakuza 5 - such a varied and wonderful title full of story, amazing characters and funny moments. I am guessing that i am over halfway now and spent so long on saijimas side quests that i have clocked over 30 hours now. I kind of want to take this slow as i know yakuza 0 won't be here for a while.

Driveclub - amazing to just dive in and out of this. Contemplating buying the new dlc, but will probably wait for a second expansion pack compilation. Not overly enjoying the bikes, but probably because of my lack of dedication.

Gta 3 ps4 - looks a lot better in fullscreen and sharper too. The framerate is a bit better too and i have got to the second island. Still my favourite gta title. The music, characters and missions are so memorable even though vice city has the big tracks. I will probably give vice city a go after this, but its just nice knowing its on my ps4 hdd. Need to get a 2tb hard drive, but may wait for a slim ps4 and then upgrade the storage.

Not too many other games, but have given ps plus's free titles grid autosport a few goes and feel a remaster in 1080p and 60fps would do it so much good. Fantastic game otherwise.

Thats that for now and i guess i shall complete yakuza 5 before the mad month of april with dirt rally, dark souls and maybe even ratchet and clank. Uncharted after that and probably get one or two of those oldies completed like ico and maybe even okami!

Great time to be a gamer - so of these games really are incredible and i find it astonishing how far we have come in 20 years!

Twilight Princess. And then Mario Maker and Splatoon tempted me back.

I'm continually blown away by some of these Mario Maker courses. Found one last night that was a ping pong game. So inventive and clever.

Still Axiom Verge. This suddenly got a lot more difficult, the fourth boss was a nightmare. I think it could do with a hint system similar to the Metroid games as I keep getting lost.

Could someone who has played the game, please tell me how much longer before Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth gets interesting. I've just reached the hospital and it is boring the nipps off me.
