Lately, I've gone back to
Just Cause 3, where I've now finished most of what the game has to offer, minus some of the challenges. I'm now nearly 60 hours into the game, and I think I've only just exhausted its sandbox – and every time I say that, I end up jumping back in...
I've also played and completed
Rise of the Tomb Raider, which is definitely a worthy successor to 2013's Tomb Raider. The new crafting options are fun and make a lot of sense within the lore, and the story is entertaining enough to keep the action moving along. The optional tombs are great, too, much better than the original.
I've recently acquired three new games to play: The first is
Rock Band 4, courtesy of an
Argos firesale, and to be honest, I'm glad I got it for £25. The setlist, while comprised of 65 songs or so, feels very thin compared to previous entries in the series. The reason? Because Harmonix seem to expect its players to have bought earlier Rock Band instalments and have bought lots of DLC. Even then, importing the songs from previous games is a frankly convoluted process, even for the simplest scenario (though that is almost entirely Sony's fault).
The second is
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which, like all Deus Ex games, is an FPS with RPG-like elements and a fondness for letting you deal with any situation in a number of ways. While the plot is still dumb as bricks and the symbolism piled on on with a JCB, the systems and atmosphere of the game makes it a really enjoyable play.
Lastly, I am downloading
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice as we speak. Phoenix Wright is one of only a few series which I fangirl over, and the latest entry is no exception. I deeply look forward to playing it...
