Shadow of Mordor.
Enjoyable if a little samey.
Could have used a bit more of an RPG element imo but I get it they went down the hack n slash route gameplay-wise for a reason.

Shadow of Mordor is one of those games where the level of roleplay is inversely proportional to the amount of skill you play the game with.
If you're good at the combat and mechanics, and don't die a lot... Then it's kinda boring.
BUT!
If you're not that good, and die a bunch, or let Orcs get away, then they start coming back, stronger, meaner, more often... Then you can make your own story of trying to take down a rival or nemesis.
That's the coolest thing about the game, I think. You should check out Tear of Grace's Shadows of Mordor playlist. It's fantastic.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

That is a fair assessment of SoM, it's definitely a fantastically fun game to play, but you get so much more out of it early on when you don't have the skills and powers to trump every type of enemy that comes your way. Once you reach a certain level of power, the game just can't kill you except with the odd cheap shot, and even when you do die, you have the tools to make taking revenge trivially easy.
It's the one flaw in an otherwise superb game, so if the new, expanded Nemesis system in Shadow of War can fix it while keeping the rest it might well be an instant contender for the short list of near-perfect games.

Morrowind got me back into ESO, still playing pretty much only that right now. Got my dps warden mage up to level 35 or so now. Finished the Morrowind story quests and now I'm doing regular realm quests, but trying to stick to ones I haven't done yet. Been fun so far though.

Hitman (the new one, not the original). It's great to have a real Hitman game (Absolution just wasn't a Hitman game... far too linear, missions broken up into tiny levels, few proper sand box areas, waaaay too much combat). I've not even bothered with the 3rd level yet, and played the 2nd level only a couple of times as I've just been playing the Paris level over and over again, finding new ways to do things, completing challenges and so on. So much fun

Grabbed Gunpoint and Streets of Rogue during summer sale because my impulse control is lacking. Gunpoint is really fun if lacking in content (not worth it at all at the normal price, but half-off or less it's a good deal) and has a pretty good soundtrack and SoR is hilarious. Solving every problem with drugs and alcohol is a viable strategy (there's even a character designed with that playstyle in mind). Also somewhat pricey for what you get unless you have friends who play though.

I think I'm going to be getting Dead Cells. It was the last thing that tipped me over into actually buying a controller for my computer- between that, Rogue Legacy, and the Dark Souls franchise, I finally hit the point where there were more 'Please play with controller' games than I could bear to ignore.
And I've tried playing Dark Souls with KbM- it's just so... clunky.

His pattern of returning alive after being declared dead occurred often enough during Cain's career that the Munitorum made a special ruling that Ciaphas Cain is to never be considered dead, despite evidence to the contrary. |

Yeah, now I know what I'm going to play next... thanks for the reminder
But at the moment I am playing The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth + and I find it pretty awesome for an indie game!
The soundtrack, the setting, the graphics style... everything is on a very high level.
Also there are a lot of easter eggs there.

Playing a middle of the road character, equally interested in trade, conquest and exploration. Not very religious, I still find the staunch Christianity in Northumbria a bit grating. Currently allying with the Picts and Gaels and building up my hird and homestead before heading home to Jutland for the Allthing.

I ended up getting space hulk and that deathwatch game from the steam sale on account of cheapness.
i've been playing the deathwatch one and i can certainly see why it's got negative reviews it's also just kind of mindless fun, which is what i want right now i guess.

Splitting my time between Wildlands, where I'm just faffing about and getting some more flight time in as they've revised the helicopter controls considerably, finally(!) adding in a HUD for aiming and Stardew Valley, where I'm trying to 100% it, but the fishing aspect of the game is still as horrible as I remember it..

Struggling through Deus Ex:Mankind Divided...just isn't gripping. Didn't like the first one much either.
Still waiting on Cyberpunk 2070 to get that Cyberpunk fix.
Also Splatoon 2 and when I'm traveling due to work replaying Portrait of Ruin.

Just finished Gravity Rush 2, I was really impressed with what they improved upon in the original game, and just like in the first game the soundtrack is phenomenal. I'm a bit sad with how little attention the game got since its definitely one of the PS4's better exclusives, but at the very least it semi-concludes Kat's story but still has potential for a sequel.
I'm getting into Fortnite with a friend recently and its been pretty fun so far. My main complaint is the UI, its very clunky and unintuitive and takes you a lot of navigating to figure out where you're supposed to be.

The lack of updates on this is frustrating. I would have expected something from CDPR on this after they finished with Witcher 3. But unfortunately the only thing they've said recently is that they're still working in both it and another unannounced project.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

Given that it's just become free on EA Access, I finally got around to Titanfall 2. While the campaign is short, it is bloody good! Somewhat strangely, it actually called to mind Arkane's work on Dishonored in that the level design is meticulous and always tries to make the best use of all the game's mechanics and systems. Lots of alternate paths, lots of variety in heights and planes, lots of very well-crafted set piece scenes that make feeling like a badass effortless. It's very, very well thought out and clever game design which I always enjoy.
Solid writing as well, having the odd dialogue choice doesn't affect the gameplay at all but does help build up the pilot-titan dynamic the story is built around.
The multiplayer also plays much better than the beta did. The return of Grunts and Spectres helped the scale of the battles, as do the faster Titan build times. Nice to see the return of several maps from the original as well. I think I'll be sticking with this for quite a while.

For a game that's ostensibly about giant mech combat, Titanfall 2 has some of the best on-foot combat in the f/tps genre.

Using Inks and Washes

"Star Trek: Timelines" on tablet has taken over from my "Injustice 2" obsession, and "Need for Speed: Rivals" on PS4.
Timelines is a wonderful little time-waster. There has been a temporal disaster which has allowed multiple versions of all the crew from all series to exist at once. "Q" is asking for your help in tracing the cause of the event and putting it right, but should you really trust him?
This means that you can have a pool of crew to chose from ranging from the Original Captain Kirk, to Admiral Kirk, Young Kahn from "Space Seed", or "Wrathful Kahn" from the movie, to Captain Proton Paris, or "Mirror Spock". It has three different difficulties on each mission, which require different strengths of crew or different specifics (Bajoran, Brutal, Starfleet, etc.)
It can be quite challenging making sure you are working on a wide enough variety of crew to cover all situations, not just working on the 'best' crew at a time. some of the tasks involve restrictions on rarity of crew, so you can only use common and uncommon female crew that are Federation for example.
