Metroid on the 3ds has truly gripped me. Truly excellent.
Dipping into a Golf Story on the Switch too, surprise of the year so far.
Must resist Cuphead....

A Hat In Time on PC.

It's lovely, utterly lovely. A couple of hours in and just beaten the first boss and unlocked the second world.

Gave up on the latest Tomb Raider near the end. It wants so bad to be Uncharted, but lacks the story, characters, humour level design and set-pieces of that game.

I love the old Tomb Raider games and wish the new ones could find an identity of their own rather than being the generic series it's become.

Once again, I'm diving into Resident Evil 4. After watching this video:



I had no idea that in the HD remake of the game you could play as additional characters other than the standard ones. That will teach me to read a manual next time.

After several playthroughs on "easy" over the years I started on "normal" for the first time in this version and only got killed about 5 times in the starting village by the chainsaw wielding sackheaded git. After finally beating the game and starting again and keeping all the weapons and upgrades on the second playthrough it was great fun just destroying the same village in one attempt.

Now to keep playing and get enough cash to get the infinite rocket launcher and the Chicago typewriter, complete all the new missions that are unlocked after the first completion, get all the bottle caps and costumes and then play on Professional and then play as the additional HD characters.

I swear I will never get enough or get tired of this game, I might not play it for a while, but I always seem to come back to it. An all-time classic.

BTW, the Merchant says "Hello"

I've started playing Mass Effect 2 that I got in a free giveaway thing. Decided to just bat through on easy because I'm feeling lazy. It's a fun compelling game world though.

Grabbed Superflight earlier today, and I'm loving it so far. It's a really basic wingsuit flying game where you just need to fly fast and get close to the rocks to score points. Super simple, but stupidly playable (and instantly replayable) - it's destroyed my attempts to get any work done today. £2 on Steam - a bargain, IMO.

Still not finished Dragon Age Origins, every time I get partway through then think "I need to have done that bit back there differently."

Currently back in Oblivion, it's a nice place to be. There are so many UI choices that were made differently in Skyrim, some better, some not so good.

I've been scouting out the backlog for non-mouse-and-keyboard games, seeing as I've picked up what is essentially a tennis elbow. It's hard being a PC gamer in that regard - I did have the foresight to buy a 360 controller a few years back. I've also pulled the Wii out of its box.

So: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Super Paper Mario. Impressions to follow.

DubWars, a great rhythm shooter that's currently free on Twitch Prime (link your Amazon account to your Twitch one to get this).

Twin stick shooter where your shots are triggered by beats in the dubstep track playing underneath the level. It's hard as nails but feels and sounds great. Meaty headphones highly recommended!

I've just finished Watch Dogs 2 and it's right up there with Titanfall 2 as one of my surprises of the year.

It feels like the leap Ubisoft also made between Assassins Creed 1 and 2. The first game set out the template and the sequel polished and tweaked it to make the game the first should have been.

Interesting storyline missions and fun open world side quests. Really fun stuff. I hope we get a 3rd.

Doom on the Switch has grabbed me. God it’s good. Never played it on another platform so a whole new experience. Recommended

Following on from Fog's comment, I see that Watch Dogs 2 is down to £17 on the uplay store just now in advance of Pink Tuesday or whatever it is. Steep is also much reduced.

Good call. I still dip into Steep. Thinking of grabbing the new DLC due next week too "Road to the Olympics"

When I got a bit stuck on dark souls 3 on my sorcery run I fired up enter the gungeon from my psn sale back log (bought over a year ago!)

Needless to say I am now hooked it's basically a rogue version of attic attack and totally addictive even though I'm pretty useless and have only got to floor 2 twice now.

Currently playing Zelda BOTW on the Switch... finally got the glider thingy and made it to the village!

Really enjoying the Switch at the moment although mostly play in docked mode....
