Favourite Games of 2016

qc2016 – Possibly the worst year of my life in terms of what is going on in the world. While video games feel extremely secondary in the grand picture I still would like to highlight some the titles that helped me to briefly take my mind away from all the shit going on.

Braid and Arkham Knight

braid1Lately few new games have caught my attention. I have come to enjoy these “lows” as they give me the chance to catch up a bit on the better games in the backlog. I used the last weeks to immerse myself in the now classic Braid and the infamous PC-version of Batman: Arkham City.

Some ok, good, and great games as of late

20161012_130904Once more I have let time fly with respect to the spacing in between wasdmash-content. Since the last blog I have managed to play more Ori and the Blind Forest, Adr1ft, FIFA 17, TIS-100, Starbound, Unravel and 911 Operator. Here is some thoughts on all of them.

My summer in games, part XI: AM2R – Return of Samus

snap 0003Today we conclude my summer games summary with a very recent surprise release, Another Metroid 2 Remake or AM2R. Less surprising is that the game is now significantly harder to play after Nintendo sent out their cease- and desist-team to take down the fan-remake.

My summer in games, part X: Ori and the Blind Forest

Ori-Definitive-Edition-artwork-mainIn “My summer in games, part X” I will talk about the Definitive Edition of Ori and the Blind Forest. A previously Xbox One-exclusive metroidvania. I cheered for Shadow Complex Remastered, will the story be the same for Ori?

My summer in games, part IX: Doom

doomOnly a couple of parts left of my summary of what I have played during the past summer. In this ninth part I talk a bit about the surprisingly great new Doom.

My summer in games, part VIII: Abzû

Abzu-752x430In part VIII of my games of my summer-summary I discuss the diving- and exploration game Abzû that I just finished a couple of days ago. It has been compared with the revered Playstation-classic Journey, and rightfully so it turns out.

My summer in games, part VII: Quadrilateral Cowboy

qcI had been looking forward to the unique looking hacking-game Quadrilateral Cowboy since I built my current PC four years ago. It was supposed to arrive years ago but the small team at Blendo games could not let go of it until very recently. Did it live up to my expectations? Find out in part VII of My summer in games.

My summer in games, part VI: Factorio

factorioIn part VI of “My summer in games” I will discuss Factorio, a Steam Early Access factory-builder recommended to me a while ago by a friend.
