Tony Hawks Remake
Awesome!
Love that the songs continuously play, even into the menus. No cutting the song short & playing crappy menu music. & you can skip songs at any time.
Busy with TH1, on the Downtown level. Damn those gaps!!

Horizon Zero Dawn - settled on playing this for a half-hour each day and just the core missions. Figure that'll get me to the conclusion of the interesting narrative, while limiting the boredom. What a tedious waste of a great concept and I hope the sequel introduces some actual variety into the gameplay loop.

Sudden Strike IV: The Africa: Desert War and Pacific War expansions - a surprisingly good port to console, even if the control scheme takes a while to wrap your head around. These DLC are a nice change from the European-focussed base-game. Africa: Desert War is all about using the cover of sandstorms and scavenging abandoned vehicles. The Pacific War is all about beach landings on atolls and jungle combat. If you're after a methodical, slower-paced RTS with a strong focus on units strengths/weaknesses, positioning. and line-of-sight, these are great on console (except for the load times)

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Needed something fast-paced, stupid, and short to revive me. Forever tainted by Kevin Spacey's involvement, but I still think it's one of the best standalone future-themed CoDs.

Restarted Control on a whim. Actually going better this time... will see how long it keeps my attention

I am playing the new Avenger game. The missions remind me a lot of a sandbox game, since the maps is huge, especially the Hometown mission. The game is very fast pace and a lot of enemies and gun towers to take out. And some nasty bosses.

The characters don’t really feel like the Avengers, I got Iron Man (original silver suit), Thor, in jeans and a t-shirt with Storm breaker, Cap with his SHIELD suit, Black Widow (for me the best character so far) and then the Hulk (face palm) with blonde hair and looks like a MMA fighter with the bandages on his hands and wrist.

It’s a good game, with all the marvel comics references, yet don’t feel like the Avengers or a Marvel game. Don’t have the atmosphere of other Marvel games like the Lego Marvel games did capture.

Yakuza 5
Playing on the PS4, & it doesn't look near as good as Yakuza 4.
I do like that we are in a new city for a change. & the cars actually drive around the streets.
Otherwise at this early point in the game, its pretty meh.

Hades - Move over Bastian the best game Supergiant Games has made just arrived to knock you off your spot. Awesome roguelike game with great combat and design. Characters are great, story is great, art if great everything is great. Been in a slump with games over the past few months but this one has me hooked.

Beats Per Minute

Despite the roguelike mechanics that annoy me more than entertain these days, and rhythm mechanics I suck at, this can be surprisingly compelling if the RNG gods are on your side and you start the run finding a decent weapon. The soundtrack (repeatative as it may be) has a simple 4-beat rhythm that you can pick up easily and soon find yourself landing shots and relaoding weapons in sync, When it works, it feels great as a FPS, when the RNG sucks, you feel like you might as well keep restarting the run.

Prince of Persia - Warrior Within

I love this sequel more than most, and the expanded combat option help offset the tougher difficulty, but the tone has me alternating between head-banging, cringing, and laughing. Within 5 minutes, you're introduced to a metal-thong-wearing antogonist by way of a low-angle butt-shot as she walks towards you. Classy stuff from 2004.

Nioh on PS4
Fast and challenging combat with levels that will break me by looking for all those bloody Kadama
Need to grind to max my other weapons. Only 2 are done, but wow, I am not an axe type of guy but wow, these are fun!

Now...this has prompted me to re-install Bloodborne to take on the Old Hunters DLC. Different game but the speed...
