It has been a week now since we've entered February. But I'd love to know what was your favorite game this January?

I'll go first: Halo - The Master Cheif Collection, particularly Halo Reach, Halo 1 & Halo 2. I'll be continuing Master Cheif's story with 3rd one as soon as I finish Dying Light 2. šŸ¤£

Hmm... these were the games I played/completed in January:

  • Tell Me Why
  • Golf With Your Friends
  • Tacoma
  • The Walking Dead: The Final Season
  • The Letter

I would recommend all of them actually! All of them are story based except for Golf, but none of them have spectacular stories, just decent if you're into their genres. I'd say Tell Me Why would be my favorite mostly because of the gorgeous scenery.

(As for actually released in January, NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE / NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD is an... experience. I played it now in February though)

I'd love to play it, I've heard it's good. But I haven't played my copy of Life is Strange 2 yet and many Square Enix games end up having pretty nice sales after a while, so I'll just play other story-based games in my backlog until it's time.

No, I got these in other ways. Tell Me Why was free on Steam, I traded for The Letter a while ago, and the rest are from bundles I got. But what you say isn't far off, since it's probably more common for people to play bundled games here because of the exposure they get.

OPUS: Echo of Starsong is definitely one of my top-3 games of 2021 (others being Black Book and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo - in no particular order).

How is this OPUS game compared to the first two? I liked the first one's story and the actual gameplay was short and simple enough to not get in the way / not get too boring. Finished it in less than 2 hours. On the other hand I didn't really like the story and protagonists of the 2nd game and the actual gameplay was bad. Basically just lots of walking and collecting and it didn't feel rewarding or challenging at all. Took me about 6 hours to get to the end I think and by that point I was super bored with it.

It's a combination of a space simulator (with simple economy and without combat), visual novel and some light puzzles. Basically, it's still a casual experience, but this time with proper gameplay. It's also much longer than the previous games (took me about 10 hours). And the story is definitely the best in the series so far.

Dying Light 2 is surprisingly fun, I'm enjoying it much more than the first game (there are some flaws, but nothing that can't be fixed by a mod or a trainer; so far I was fortunate enough to avoid any note-worthy bugs, experienced only minor stuff). But that's February. My January was very busy gaming-wise: I managed to complete God of War and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous plus replayed the first Elex preparing for the second one's release (what can I say, I had a lot of free time). Not very impressed by God of War and can't understand all the praises: I mean, it's technically perfect, visually impressive and more or less decently written, but basically it's just another boring console hit. Elex is still deeply flawed and deeply enjoyable, love it. As for Pathfinder, for me a well-written turn-based CRPG is worth a dozen of gods of war.

Same. My experience with the game was overall pleasant and even with it's current flaws, I've recommended it to people. Price wise is a lot more than I'd pay at this stage, but I believe that fixes will come for the game and it will improve. I've never tried mods, as I'm playing co-op with my wife and I feel that might break some things.

I've played God of War and I've enjoyed it quite a bit too. I felt I've not connected with Kratos as long time players of the series would. It's gorgeous as it is, but I wish I'd play the first 3 so then I get into this one, even if the story would not click all together. Being alongside the protagonist makes the whole character more memorable and enjoyable. We've all been deprived of that as PC gamers.

Pathfinder is a game I've been looking to play also. I've heard it's a solid game and I definitely like that. Elex is another title I'd jump into it once I finish some of the games. I keep forgetting to play it, but I'd love to try it. I understood that combat is clunky a bit and requires time getting used to it.

Haven't tried it, but I'll definitely check it out now. Many write that these guys have come a long way of trial and error, I tend to believe. In "Rome" there are rough edges (regarding the global strategic part in act 3), but there are a lot of interesting ideas here and the plot is simply excellent.

Hellpoint.

Took a while to like it, but I ended up loving it. I'd say at least beat 2-3 bosses to get a feel for the game.
Up there with the souls greats (DS1 & Bloodborne) even though it had a small dev team and is indie.

The only one I've played, but on PS4 was the God of War. What do you think of it? Did you enjoy it a lot?

The Storytelling and Visual is Excellent
Gameplay,Combats and Enviroments is good
Freedom,OpenWorld it's very horrible (sort of corridor\rail train game) but this i must say in the past is most of time a common factor for 90% of playstation games (if we exclude some wonderful games as jak&daxter or shadow of colossus etc.)
Physic it's very low or nearly existent (enemies bodies disappear too,that is something unaceptable in 2022 for me,but ok...)

This said i buy it at dayone and i think it was worth it ,i like it,hironically the same things can be said for horizon zero dawn.

Games as Zelda Breath Of The Wild btw (also if i'm NOT a big nintendo fan) is 9999 times better in how they interact with enviroments (Physics of Barrels or Arrows etc.)

Anyway yes i like god of war,even if i must say i'm really NOT a big fan of playstation,but god of war is beautiful game yes.

Personally i prefer games stealth as sekiro shadows die twice,sniper elite4,splinter cell,batman arkham knight,deus ex,prey, etc....

i like these more than god of war or action games in general i don't go crazy for games as god of war (or gears of war too)...

but this said god of war is beautiful game,without doubt.

I like a lot linear games. I feel I don't need to bother exploring every nook and cranny for collectables or stuff like that. I get what you mean about the disappearing bodies. I know it's fantasy, but they could keep them there. It's cooler that way.

Some games are really bad any way they are really. I love the exploration and the openness. But I feel that developers have misunderstood it with filler content and empty fields and that ruins it sometimes. I felt it was too long to finish AC Odyssey. Some games need to be a little smaller.

I tried the first one too. But I only played it alone. It is definately more silly humour and light hearted than the second one. But the second one I feel has superior mechanics and growth structure. The first one is harder in this regard, imo. But still pretty nice games both of them.
