I really like Empire Total War at the moment.

i'm currently downloading batman arkham knight special edition (as it's on special offer on xbox live atm). i liked the previous batman games that rocksteady made (arkham asylum/arkham city) am looking forward to playing it.

am also downloading sleeping dogs definitive edition. i liked the 360 version a lot and am looking forward to playing this (much prefer it to gta v) it's a great game.

I'm just getting back into gaming and have just built a PC and am currently playing Black Desert Online... I'm still trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing but it seems pretty good so far with masses of (confusing) content. I'm thinking of having a bash at Elite Dangerous but will need to get a Joystick first I guess.

I have finished Rise Of The Tomb Raider, which was excellent barring the appalling hammy over-acting from whoever voices Lara Croft. "This... must have been... (breathy pause)... an ancient toilet... (almost sobbing now)... it really smells..."

Next up is Super Mario 3D World (or however they're wording it this time) on the Wii U.

Still playing GTA5 on 360...never happier

I keep meaning to give it another run through, maybe once I've finished ME3

Sporky

The Witness was 10% off on Steam, so I got it.

So far it's pretty ace; like a sculpture park full of puzzles.

monquixote

Yeah I'm enjoying the witness

ME3 finished for a third time

First time I only had two options and chose control, second time three options and chose synthesis so this time I chose destroy, and managed to not kill Shepherd - hurrah!

No idea what to play next though, maybe another run through of GTA V

just picked up an old PC game from GOG called The Longest Journey - I might be sometime.

Sporky

The Longest Journey is magnificent. One of the very best of the genre.

Dreamfall, the sort-of-a-sequel, was pretty good too.

Paul_C

Longest Journey finished, not sure what to look for next - I may well pick up Dreamfall at some point but maybe it's time for some more XBox - I barely got started with Red Dead Redemption so maybe that.

Sporky

Ah; Grand Theft Horsey.

I thought RDR was quite good but not up to the usual standard.

I liked (on the 360) Enslaved - that was ace. And Beyond Good And Evil HD, marvellous game that.

I have finished The Witness, but not completed it so have started again.

Sunset Overdrive is for free in xb1 shop.

Any good that?

Sporky

Yes - I loved Sunset Overdrive. Ridiculously over the top and very silly.

I got a little bored of the mixing/crafting elements of the game, I wish you could just bounce and grind around, shoot stuff and still progress in the game... it is great over the top fun though.

TBF I am a little bored of anything 1st/3rd person shooting at the minute.

i am currently downloading gta v for my xbox one. am not a huge fan of gta v i have to say (i had it for 360) but it was on special offer for gold members. also there are plenty of things i did like about the game to make me buy it (and the improvements in the xbox one version).

my gamertag is admaski2112 if anyone wants to join me in some skydiving plane/helicopter/motorcycle/bike fun,after it has taken 2 days to download lol.

well it may get me away from elite dangerous,as the game has been like crack to me (i have had the game for about 6-7 weeks,and put in nearly 4 weeks of in game time,so yes am a bit addicted to it :-)

am also looking forward to being able to play my pre order doom game when it is activated on 13th may also.

@Sporky is The Witness worth £27 ? 

I'm debating with myself whether or not to buy, or wait until it gets cheaper.

Sporky

I thought so, but I really, really like puzzles. There's a sort of background  but no plot in any conventional sense, just hundreds (literally) of puzzles. Well, variations on one puzzle.

My only regret regarding the Witness is that I'll never get to play it for the first time again.

Antichamber is worth a go too. More abstract, more mess-with-your-head.
