I'm playing Ghostwire: Tokyo. I was surprised about how much I'm liking it, I was not expecting much of it, but it is good. I'm not enjoying the open world as much as I should, but I'm enjoying the game so far ^^

Thanks for all the giveaways!

I'm offering a Maddern NFL 22 for EA Play (PC). I got it via Amazon Prime and I won't use it, so, if anyone wants it, PM me with the request.
All I'm asking is that you check first if you have Amazon Prime, because the game is free for all the Amazon Prime subscribers (if I'm not wrong), so please, before asking for it, be sure that you don't already have it.

The Outer Worlds: The game that is taking most of my time. Mixed opinion, but still a long way to complete it. I'm liking it but the combat system is so basic and everything surrounding it lacks so much depth... Anyway, it is incredibly well written and that is what is geting me so engaged. I wasn't expecting to find a Mass Effect vibe in it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Really enjoying the good old sensation of the Modern Warfare series. CoD really needed a game like this. So far so good, campaign and multiplayer.
State of Mind: I wasn't attracted at first when I watched the trailers but once I started playing it it is growing on me. I'm not sure what the game is all about since I've been playing it for an hour or so, but looks promising.
Batman: Arkham Origins: I've started replaying it since I'm replaying the whole saga again. One of my favourite sagas ever. Unfortunately, this Origins game is the worst of them all, but still a pretty neat game.

Also, as always, tons and tons of hours playing Rocket League. I really can't stop playing it.

Gears 5: Better than Gears 4, but still needs more polish.
Neo Cab: Interesting, but what you see in the trailers/images is what you get in the final game, with no surprises at all. Kind of more of the same idea we've seen in too many different games of the genre.
Vampyr: Unexpected for me, far better than what I've heard before playing it. I agree with most of the criticism around the game, but I guess the negative aspects of the game were not as important as they were for others. A bit too long, but totally worth it.
Baba Is You: I haven't completed all the levels, but well, I saw the credits screen at least... Really impressive, not as good as The Witness for me, but probably one of the best puzzle games ever.
Forza Horizon 4: I've been playing it for months, and will probably keep coming back to it soon. One of my favourite games I've played this year, and I'm not even a big fan of racing games.

Mine is another backlog, but featuring high priority games ^^.

Children of Morta: A gret rogue-like with some hack and slash features.
Gears of War 4: Kind of rushed it to play Gears 5 the proper way!
Bloodstained Ritual of the Night: A bit disappointed considering how good the reviews where for it, but still a good igavania.
Exorcise the Demons: As a fan of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes I was very excited about this one, but it is a terrible game. Avoid it at all cost.

I've also spent most of the time playing Forza Horizon 4. The whole month was dedicated to it.

I don't know if you already discussed this at some point, sorry if that is the case.

I really miss the option to directly add a game to the "playing list". It would be really nice to have a playing button in every game page. Correct me if I'm wrong but right now, you have to add the game to your backlog, go back to your backlog list and then set it as playing. A button that does all of it at the same time would be really nice.

Tips for Owl pls

I was extra aggressive with him. I remember hitting him twice, then parry, twice again, parry and so on with special focus on evading some of his attacks. Also, start a non sense running when you run out of posture to recover it when you have the chance.

I can't remmeber well since I played it when the game was launched, but I do remember those 2-hit and parry sequence I mastered fighting him. It is not much but... be brave! ^^

I'm playing three games at the same time right now:

-Va-11 Hall-A: Specially in the mornings while I'm having breakfast or something :D.
-Shadow Tactics: Great game, I'm really loving it. I use to play a mission in the afternoons. I don't like quitting the game in the middle of a level as I lost track of what I was doing.
-A Plague Tale: I wasn't expecting much of the game and I'm loving it. This is the game I play during the night with headphones and all that. Very immersive.

I think the tabs are pretty much the tags. I mean, you can even put everything on a single list and filter in/out stuff depending on which categories you put them in.

Well, you can use the filters and such but, for example, you might want to tag your games as "action, puzzle, adventure" to filter all your games. things like that. As far as I know you can't do that now.

Anyway, I'm more into creating lists than adding tags, but anything that could help us customize even more is welcome, specially for those like me who have an absurd backlog haha.

Hi! I m pretty sure someone has already suggested this, what-s more, I myself could have done it some time ago haha.

The thing is, if I m not wrong you got an extra custom tab to make your own list, but I really miss the option to create multiple custom tabs/lists/whatever. There are plenty of reasons why someone would love to have multiple lists, from creating a list with games only for one gaming system to different lists for different priorities in their very own backlog.

It would be great if we could create multiple custom lists.

Thanks for all the effort you put on this site!

Good old times :,,)
+700 hours in my Steam account for Left 4 Dead 2. The game I've played the most (in Steam at least).

The list is cool the way it is, but I probably would place Dead Air a bit higher!

LA Noire for sure. I also disliked Metro 2033 a lot.

Humble Bundle was giving away The Ship: Murder Party for Steam if you've been visitng the Humble Bundle store for some days.

In case you missed it, I have a key here for someone who is interested. PM me.
Cheers!

EDIT: Taken

I beat the game over the weekend. It took me six runs, and 5h30m, to complete.

My overall impression of this game is a negative one. I think the concept is pretty smart, and for the majority of the game the discovery of 'truths' helps drive everything forward. I didn't like the true ending much, but everything that came before it story-wise was still good. The music wasn't bad either - nothing spectacular, or memorable, but fitting and enjoyable while it lasted.

The combat, on the other hand was utter rubbish:
-It is shallow. You have one attack button, with a couple of variations on that same button, and 2-3 alternative moves. Button-mashing is viable and sort of encouraged.
-I dislike how minimal the 'incoming parry opportunity' icon is. I missed it enough for it to be annoying.
-I hate the fact that the parry is mapped to the attack button. Numerous times I would move to parry and instead attack an enemy next to the onrushing attacker, losing my combo as a result.
-This is compounded by weird auto-targeting by the ai. It is especially bad with the exploding enemies; more often than not, the game thought that, rather than attacking a nearby grunt after lighting the proverbial fuse, I was really trying to take another swing at the exploding enemy so that it would explode and halve my health...

The combat is all the game really has, so these failings in its systems are much more impactful than they might otherwise be. I gave the game a 5/10. On reflection, this was probably very generous of me.

Actually the parry mapped to the attack button is one of the things I liked the most. I think it is good on its own way since it makes everything more simple and, I don't know, makes sense. Also it forces you to stop attacking recklessly and makes you focus on the combat even more. I don't think it is button-mashing at all, but it is just my opinion. It is far from perfect, I know, but I'm also tired of those games trying to imitate Batman Arkham series' combat system where everything is slash/punch-parry an exclamation mark.

Anyway, they got rid of most of those mechanics for Omensight, so, I'm sure a lot of people complained about it. I'm alone on this one :D.

The game is good! But it was so repetitive. It is as if the idea sounded so good but the execution made the game a bit worse. Kudos to the combat system, kind of unique even though it is not deep.

6/10.

I do enjoyed it, but I also had a very particular problem. In my case, I don't usually play sequels before the first game, but I received a press copy of Omensight and I had to play Omensight for reviewing before Stories. Well, it is not a sequel, it is a spiritual successor as the game is set in the same universe but has its own original story that has nothing to do with Stories. The problem is, it is actually a "sequel" of the concept. It is basically the same idea but polished, and I got to say it works better.

So, if you enjoyed Stories try Omensight! Takes the idea further and it is a better game.

I probably would have enjoyed Stories more if I'd played it first, though. I'm curious about what they can do in their next game. Don't know if they are going to keep working on that very same concept or if they are going to move to new things.

Hello! First of all, sorry for my English :)

I was thinking it would be nice to have a list of autumn/fall themed videogames. You know what I mean, games that feel better if they are played during that season. I'm sure it will be even clearer if I throw in some examples:

Life Is Strange
Thimbleweed Park
The Last Door
Night in the Woods
The Flame in the Flood
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Ori and the Blind Forest

I'll probably create a new thread when winter comes, so, don't bother posting about other seasons too!

The Flame in the Flood is free for 48 hours.

Oh, what a great game this one is. Don't miss it.

Final Fantasy XV took almost the whole month, but totally worth it.

I also got time to play some casual games or very short ones. Here is the list:

Final Fantasy XV (including all DLCs): Great game! Even with the plot holes I wasn't expecting something that good.
Telltale Texas Hold'em: First game made by Telltale. Really bad interface but still enjoyable.
Point Perfect: A game for when you have some minutes. Really difficult.
Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride: I'm one of those who likes hidden object games. This one is pretty good, not as much as Nightmares from the Deep though.
Legendary Gary: Got this game from the developer for reviewing purposes and, well, I enjoyed it for most of the time but the ending was lame.
Tiny and Big: Granpa's Leftovers: Interesting concept but very good game.
Lost Civilization: Another hidden object game. This time, a remake of Nibiru: Age of Secrets. Go for the original if you can.

Enemy mind.

This game is really good. Even though it is obviously a tiny indie game, it is very well made. If you are looking for a shoot 'em up with a twist, Enemy Mind is really cool! Also, it was given for free some time ago and it has been included in some bundles. If you got it in your library just give it a chance.

I realized that I have some Steam store coupons, I won't use them so PM me which one you want. Please have an older account or have a good excuse for why you don't.

- Dawn of War II: Retribution 75% off
- Endless Legend 75% off
- Endless Space Collection 75% off
- Bayonetta 50% off TAKEN
- Total War: Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai 75% off TAKEN

All of these are valid until 2018-03-15 08.00.00 (I think this is my time zone so basically European time). It says they are tradeable so I think I need to add you on Steam and send you the item.

Just in case anybody need more of those, I have the exact same discounts in my inventory.

Sorry for not offering anything else lately, it's been a long time since I have some spares. I'll try to change that soon :)

Well, I'd say Silent Hill would be my favourite, but pretty close would be Mass Effect (specially if you only consider the frist three :D.

Oops...

Well, I bought the penumbra bundle (overture+black plague+requiem) for 1€ and The Room+The Room Two for 1€.

I bought the steam link bundle with Icey some days ago, so, I shouldn't spend more money in a long time!

Persona 4

Not only my favourite RPG, but my favourite game ever ^^

Evil Genome.

Very interesting chinese metroidvania! Better than expected.
