    If you are up for good single player campaign FPS, I would have gone with Titanfall 2 over Doom 2016. Doom is great for old school shooty shooty, but TF2 has more variety and some great gameplay mechanics. It is a real gem.

    Dark Souls.
    Yep. I loved Dark Souls. One of the last games I played before I went to prison.

    Dark Souls 2 is good but 3 is better, Bloodborne and Nioh should be right up your alley.

    Nope, the first game was multiplayer only and the story was bare-bones, so all you need to know is two warring factions fight with giant mechs for some reason.

    no its not its an average action RPG which gets a free pass because its Nintendo. I admit the the big boss monster dungeons are first class but the rest of it is just frustrating waste of time busy work. The most erroneous example of this is how the progression system is locked behind Solid Snake VR world "challenges".

    Yep, the entirety of the gaming press gave it a free pass because it's Nintendo.
    Sounds reasonable.

    The entirety of the gaming press said Fable 3 was game of the year they are not infallible. The gaming press always go ga ga for anything Nintendo and fail to hold them to the same standards they hold games from other publishers. BOTW is an ok game but I would never class it as a masterpiece.

    I'd put it just below Fable 2 because BOTW doesn't give you a cool dog.

    No, the press were right in this case. BotW is a masterpiece. Fine to disagree, though, it's not really worth arguing much over.

    Anyway.

    Breath of the Wild
    Into the Breach
    Slay the Spire
    Invisible Inc
    Witcher 3
    Yakuza 0
    Hollow Knight

    ...this is going to be a very long list.

    Is that Fable 3 that didn't even get near the top 30 Metacritic critics scores for the 360 in it's year of release?
    I take it was game of the year ahead of Mass Effect 2, RDR, Bayonetta, God of War 3 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 despite receiving considerably lower review scores.

    I know crazy right. Gaming press who needs them.


    *high five

    Shall we agree to disagree on BOTW in the interests of civility before we embarrass ourselves further because neither of us is going to change the others opinion of it.

    In no particular order:

    The Evil Within 2
    God of War
    Dishonored 2
    Alien Isolation
    Max Payne 3

    All very different games but all have that something special about them IMO.

    Special shoutout to The Evil Within 2, which doesn’t get half as much praise as it should. I felt very “meh” about the first one, but the 2nd one just clicked so well for me.

    Very under-rated.

    This is easy!

    Zelda Breath of the Wild
    The Last of Us HD (PS4)
    Mario Odyssey
    Forza Horizon 4
    Dead Cells
    (The Witcher 3)

    Good mix of genres

    If you've never tried VR...PSVR is on sale for £200 at the moment with 7 games. It'll blow yer mind.
