Repetitive dungeons like in # 2? Still want to get this sometime and I see it's on special now. Looking out for a 2nd hand copy as well, so maybe once you are done let me know if you want to sell?

Nah, nothing like that at least. The environments are actually one of the most impressive aspects of the game. Really varied, large open areas to explore, with a few dungeons here and there. Although the fact that you have to fast travel between them does "cheapen" the feel of the world a bit IMO. I think if you get this game and play nothing else while playing it and are happy with your character you are going to have a hell of a time playing it.
Cool man, will let you know if I decide to sell mine. If I do (which is very likely since I already have a copy on PC), it will only be towards the end of March so I can use the money for Bloodborne.

Cool, thanks and if I do come right with a copy I will let you know.

Dragon Age: Inquisition - 9/10
Pretty awesome game. Combat and gameplay took me a while to get used to, but once I got, things went great. Game took forever to complete. Played using mouse and keyboard. As far as I'm concerned, Bioware / EA did this game. They gave us a complete game without all the extra day-1 DLCs like they did with the Mass Effect and older Dragon Age games. I was actually quite impressed with that. Other than that, the gameplay and story was great, ending was fine and I'll play the game again sometime in the future (when I have lots of time available), choosing different startup parameters and making different choices. Didn't touch the multiplayer component.
I actually prefer this game to Skyrim due to the stronger story.

Rogue Legacy (PS4) - 8/10. Finally managed to beat the boss. Still playing new game+ to clean up a few trophies.
I lost count how many times I have died, but the game kept me from playing my other "AAA" games. Had a few moments where I wanted to throw the controller, but all good in the end.

Final Fantasy XIII
I'm 28 hours into Final Fantasy XIII and I'm stopping. A game shouldn't feel like a chore and believe me I had to convince myself to play FFXIII each time. The characters are boring stereotypes and I feel nothing for them. The story doesn't grab you at all. The worst is that the game basically goes like this:
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, cutscene, save, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, cutscene, save....
And the fighting isn't fun. It's a cool little system in theory but it's insanely boring.
It may appeal to some people though.

Ori and the blind forest.
This game was amazing. The sound, the art, the tight controls. Everything was beautiful. The story is sad as shit. The platforming and leveling up was great and it was extremely fun going back to look for secrets and power ups i might have missed. I highly recommend it to anyone with an xbox.
9.5
Only reason im not giving ten is because of a few bugs i experienced that forced me to quit and go in again.
Will be playing this a few more time just because of how fun it was.

Murdered: Soul Suspect - 7/10
I quite liked this, mostly for the story though and I thought the ending was pretty cool. Bit of a short game which is fine since I think had they dragged this out, it might have become boring. Just the demons were quite irritating.
I picked it up for R124 on special at Gamersgate. Money well spent. All in all, not sure if I would have been as happy had I paid full price for it. While a very interesting game, for me to pay normal price for a game, it must take me more than a day to complete.

I just started playing this yesterday on PC. About 2 hours into it. The graphics are really stunning and the story looks to be an emotional journey. The prologue had me near tears. Really loving it.

Your Raptr stats are quite telling - 375 hours! The ARPG scene hasn't been for me recently. In the past couple of years I've honestly tried to enjoy Titan Quest and both Torchlight I and II, but I just can't get into them. I get all excited during the first hour or two, but when the novelty wears off and the grind starts I get irritated. Most grindy game (series) I can stand is Borderlands.

Knytt Underground
I'm a big fan of Nifflas and his work. I've played all the games that he has released so far and I loved the Knytt games. However Knytt Underground just can't keep me interested. I think I'm getting old because I just don't feel like struggling. I guess I prefer my games to be more casual these days. Then again I do like challenging games like Dark Souls if they can hold your attention and make you want to beat them.
Knytt Underground is huge. Nifflas has put a lot of work into this game and it shows. The hugeness turns me off to be honest. Previous Knytt games were relaxing and it was just so much fun to run around and explore. With Underground there's a much bigger purpose and the whole relaxing part is missing. Now it feels like grinding through the big map.
I want to be entertained. My time is limited. I really wanted to like Knytt Underground and I can see it appealing to some people. It's just not my kind of thing.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Knytt Underground and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet have a lot of similarities. They look very similar, have big maps to explore and even feels very similar. However Knytt is a platformer and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a puzzle shooter. Neither of the games managed to grab me. I tried both, looking for a relaxing atmospheric game like the Knytt games of old. Yet both ended up frustrating me.
Dare I say it? It just requires too much effort with too little reward in return. I want something more relaxing, more casual. Or I want to be rewarded a great deal for making it past something. There are a ton of games out there and I just feel that games these days must really be good to hold my attention. There are so many good games and this is not one of them.

Just finished The Wolf Among Us (PS4) - Enjoyed it almost as much as I did the Walking Dead episodes. Action sequences did play better for me though, and I like the how they spun the story with the Fables (almost has a Once upon a Time vibe to it). But like TWD, not much replay value here. Glad I got it on sale though, and for the trophy hunters, this is quite an easy plat.
7/10 for me

The Wolf Among Us
Funny that Nemesis and I finished this game so close to each other. I loved it though. I'm such a big fan of Telltale. They just suck me into their stories and leave me so satisfied in the end. I was gripped from start to finish and enjoyed every moment of it. It also helps that I read quite a lot of Fable comics before actually starting the game so a lot of the characters and lore were already known to me.
I'd rate this as a better game than the Walking Dead season 2 but not as good as the first season. Loved it and would definitely recommend it to everyone who like Telltale games or like good stories and decision making in their games.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
Fantastic art direction and gameplay - don't think I can go back to my direct-confrontational action shooters any time soon. It felt so good being an augmented human.
Decent story but disappointed by the format/presentation of the ending(s) - it felt somewhat inconclusive.
Boss fights were kinda annoying but fun-ish, though I actually enjoyed the Missing Link DLC fight, the final one and the social "battles". Now, where's my transhumanist future, scientists?! 2027 can't come soon enough!

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2006)
3/5
Pros:
+Many new game modes
+Different racecourses
+Police
Cons:
-They removed significance of moding appearance of car, while in NFS:UG2 it plays major part in progressing through game. So I ended up without it.
-They removed testing racecourse and detailed performance tuning.
-They removed drift game mode, and complete underappreciation for drag mode.
-They could have added game mode that was present in NFS: Hot Pursuit, where instead of you racing, you are police.
-They removed fun minigames, such as "Find a Shop", "Outrun Random Dude", "Get to Race".
