Aliens: Colonial Marines
This game is a train wreck and the only good thing about it is that the environment sometimes manage to look nice. I will just note a few things that stand out by being extra bad. The game has sidekicks that are immortal, fails to do anything and that you can walk and shoot through. It really kills the setting when your sidekick is strolling around in the open and shooting aliens or tanks like nothing in the world could worry him. Not that he has to worry about the alien that much as most of them always run towards you. In this case running is switching badly between different animations that often fails to fit what the alien is doing. Then when they finally get close enough they use to the most comical zombie like animation possible to shamble towards you.

The only thing that could take my mind of the horrible way the aliens acted was the acting provided by the characters in the game as they tried to vomit their way along in the script. The story, voice over and the lore in this game is a crime against the alien franchise. It makes total sense that the end credits listed all people without any titles. No one wish to take the blame for this game.

Anyone that wish to play a aliens game is better of playing one of the older Aliens Versus Predator games.


Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Horror game that takes place in 1899 and is set in the same universe as Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Explore your own house in London to find your children and stop the machine that is starting up somewhere deep below.


Arma 3
Time to give up on Bohemia Interactive. Operation Flashpoint was fun but i do not wish to play the same game fourteen years later with the same bugs.


Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
This could be a nice pirate game. Unfortunately someone had to force assassins creed into it. No fun historical places to visit, play as a whiny knob and a enjoy a cast of pirates that spend most of the time wasting air. If I have to play another tail a character mission I will assassinate myself. Pirates of Nightmares would have been a better game.


Battlefield 4
After a step up in Battlefield 3 the single player is back at worthless levels again. So bad in fact that the thing that i compare this game to is Aliens Colonial marines. I'm running around with my annoying squad and i can't count the number of times i wished i could just shoot them and play alone. This game must have been written by writers of the retard school of 'everything is a conflict' and the team members can not say two words to each other without screaming about it. They are also window dressing as they can not be killed and are ignored by the enemy. So when i sneak around in the level they are standing beside the tank I’m trying to avoid. Immersion gets it in the face in this game. One of the few positive things with the single player was that it only crashed on me one time in the seven hours it took to play it. Multiplayer is more unstable and crashes and other bugs are not uncommon. Battlefield 4 feels and plays as Battlefield 3 so it is better to just play Battlefield 3 some more.


BioShock Infinite
In the third Bioshock game we leave the water and travel to the airborne city of Columbia. Nice city, crazy people and weapons everywhere. Gameplay wise i enjoyed the use of the skyrail to travel between the parts of the city. I did not use the vigor powers that much and i missed the ability to carry more then two weapons. The story of the game was fun also. I did notice complains about the violence in reviews before i played the game and a few of them said that it's a disconnect between to story and the gameplay. I did not find that at all so i wonder if they played another game then me. Yes, the combat is violent and the setting is brutal and unforgiving but the violence is also a core element of the story. They should try to spend more time then a coffe break thinking about the game before they started to write their opinion piece. Time to add them my game reviewer ignore list while the DLC's are downloading.


Brogue
Roguelike game where you are a small @ that try to survive in a evil dungeon.


Brothers - A Tale of two sons
Puzzle game where you control two characters at the same time. Each one has it's own thumbstick and use button. Really simple puzzles where you open doors, carry things or climb around. Gameplay gets thin fast but works as the game is not that long, less then 3 hours for me and the world is cool enough to keep playing for that time. The land of the dead giants was a great level.


Call of Duty: Ghosts
So time to play COD: Ghosts. Only started by the story is already in WTF mode. #codghosts . So lets run after a guy. This is a #asswatchsim

And a dog to. Well i'm not a dog person, i prefer cats so i will not care when it dies. Your simple mind tricks do not work on me developers

'Sounds like trouble'. And so the military lingo bingo starts again. #codghosts

Omgz i can play as a dog. I call next ge... ... ohh nope. Back to door breaching. My misstake, still last last gen. #codghosts

'Looks like they went this way'. You don't say? They did go the only possible way in this straight corridor world? #codghosts

'Remember, move slow and do exactly what the level designer scripted for you. Do not try to think outside the box' #codghosts

'Get to the chopper' *sigh* #CODGhosts

This drone thing could be made fun but it's so scripted it feels pointless. And now my save is stuck so i need to replay the mission

'Welcome to the ghosts', 'we finish the mission'. A flooded city is nice place to fight in. I will hum the jaws theme as i sneak attack

Falling building and running after a guy. Yep still playing #CODGhosts.

And there was the helicopter section. And it fails to impress also. Nothing is that good with this game. #codghosts

'stay frosty'. Think they hit all the one liners in this game. Ohh and 'wait for it...' to, nice. #CODGhosts

No need for the rescure boats in the end of Atlas falls. All the innocent people on that rig died in a sea of flamming oil. #CODGhosts

Omgz, water level now. Must be time for that next gen Fish AI. Every gamedev team should have a Fishy AI Programmer position. #CODGhosts

So the factory builds space weapons and tanks one room apart. Even bond villains would point out the flaws in this design. #CODGhosts

Checkmate, the end, fin, extra credits for tacky piece of shit ending also. I hate this game. #CODGhosts


Crysis 3
Super soldier time again. Cryris 3 is like the settings of Crysis and Crysis 2 merged into one game. Run around in a destroyed version of New york with trees, evil soldiers and aliens. Suit can be switched between ‘i shoot things’ and ‘i sneak around mode’. Gameplay was a bit meh to me.


DayZ
Spawn in, collect resources and try to avoid murder by other players. The game that got the survival game train going and then formed the base for Battle royale games. DayZ is based on a MOD for Arma2 and like most Bohemia things are painful. Both in gameplay and in user interface.


DCS World
DCS is a free-to-play combat flight simulator that have many pricey add-on modules. They add planes, helicopters, maps and missions. Most of the aircraft's are insanely detailed both in how they look and work. Mission sometimes end with me down in the cockpit, flipping switches, turning knobs, and then crashing into a building. A-10C Warthog and Black Shark 2 in co-op is my add-ons of choice. In easy mode so I can focus on the knobs.


Dead Island Riptide
Instead of fixing the bugs and problems in the first Dead Island they made a new game and this is not a worthy sequel. You can drive a boat now but it is slow and they get stuck everywhere You can defend your base at sections in the story and enjoy the worthless help of the non player characters. All in all a really low score and halfway into the game i noticed the spawning of enemies right beside me and that i do not accept in a zombie game.


Dead Space 3
It was nice to travel between the ships. Less fun on the planet.


Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches
Play three more missions as Daud, some revisiting places from Dishonored.


Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall
Expansion to Dishonored that follow the story of Daud, the empress murderer from Dishonored. Imbued with supernatural powers you stealth or stab your way across Dunwall trying to solve the mystery behind the name Delilah. With you is your second-in-command, Billie Lurk, to give advice and comment on your actions.


DoomRL
Roguelike with a setting based on the first-person shooter Doom and Doom II. Includes a graphical tileset and the Doom sounds and music.


Farming Simulator 2013
Farm life is not something that fits me.


Grand Theft Auto V
The final report in GTA5 makes it clear that it is good for society that I choose the life of programmer instead of crime. I like the satire of the game and the gameplay. Multiplayer is to much of a timesink for me to bother with.


Leviathan: Warships
Sail the seas one turn at the time.

Read more about my work on the Leviathan: Warships


Metro: Last Light
Spend some more time in the Moscow metro in this sequel to Metro 2033. They have improved the game in almost every way. It's great to explore the environments both above and below ground. The only part that has failed to improve are the exposition spewing characters. Every part where there are another character leading you, and there are far to many, they keep on talking non stop about everything you see. Shut up and let me see the world for myself.


Need for Speed Rivals
Enjoy a life as a cop or racer in a open world. Like always i did go for racer and crashed into cliffs and other solid objects all over the map. I'm not that good at driving.


Path of exile
Really good action rpg.


Ryse: Son of Rome
Was a launch game for XBOX One so with Crytek skill and Micrrosofts ocean of money this game still look nice after 10 years. Arena-like combat with execution moves to unlock. All turns out a bit same in the end and there is not much variation to the gameplay. The writers bring dishonor to Rome and me at times with bad writing.


Saints Row IV
More madness with the superpowers, aliens and a dubstep gun. The superpowers work well but there is not much use for cool cars anymore when you can jump over buildings.


Sanctum 2
First-person shooter tower defense game where you defend blue spheres against hordes of attacking monsters. Build your towers until the next wave and then run around and shoot the monsters in the face or in the weak-spot. Also a progression system where one gets better weapons, towers and perks with increased rank. Four characters to select from and like always i picked the one with the sniper rifle.


Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army
In this game you play one to four players and shoot Nazi zombies while moving to the next safe house. Yes it’s Left 4 Dead with Nazi Zombies.


Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2
One would think this would be an improvement like Left 4 Dead 2 was compared to L4D but this it’s really only more levels and more zombies.


Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
This games real name should be Sniper Safari. In almost all levels you have a spotter that tell you where to sit and who to shoot. No thinking is required from you as a player. To make sure you do not think by mistake your buddy keep serving you with stupid comments. Such as stay frosty, game face, it's a little to quit and they do not pay me enough for this shit. If It takes you seven bullet to hit someone in the head you get the same restarted great shot from him. Not that it's matter if you miss that much. The chance that someone notice you is based on a single dice that roll around in the enemies empty heads. They miss you when you shoot them down in front of each other and then notice their buddy die on a cliff 200 meters away. The best part is when you manage to leave the reservation that the linear game play try to force you in. The whole game breaks and cat sleeps with dogs as they enemy try to hump your spotter to death by running into him.


Space Engineers
Collect resources from asteroids, use them to build space ships, crash them into space stations and then crash both into a planet. Keep the sunrise intro from Also sprach Zarathustra ready on spotify so you descent onto the planet in style.


State of decay
Zombie survival game that was nice and i did manage to play it for a couple of hours. Then i glitched into a door and got ripped into parts by zombies. The game then autosaves as it has some stupid 'live with consequences' system. So the character i controlled is dead and i have to keep playing with the other ones. The motivation to play the game hit zero. If you can live with the consequences of the lack of quality assurance at Undead labs this game might be for you. I on the other hand will not accept it. The score is how i felt about the game before the code from the monkey department crashed my flow.


Takedown: Red Sabre
Game that wish to be Rainbow Six and Swat 4 and fails in all ways possible. I you wish to play a game like that I recommend that you instead get any of the Rainbow Six games. Even they one from 1998 is better then this one.


Thunder Wolves
Arcade helicopter shooter where everything explodes. One-liners and explosions is what this game is about.


Train Simulator 2013
Connect the wagons and drive your train along the landscape. Steam locomotives are nice as always but there is not much to do besides moving your camera around as you zip along the rail. So... gets boring really fast.
