Yeah, pretty much my thoughts.
I paused it while fannying about with Spotify then realised it was still ticking over, on the bloody training mission.
I also had to trick it into overwriting my save game from nearly 4 years ago because I wanted to start fresh. I had to delete it from the Xbox then quickly cancel the recovery in the split seconds it takes to download it.

Finished Inside this morning. Brilliant game. Loved the design, pacing and the feeling of controlling the character was exceptionally well done. Pretty scary at times too and I did rather enjoy the ending.

Hang on, it isn't even Christmas yet. Onto the list with Tiger you go.

Luigi's Mansion 2
Just finished it, some parts of the last chapters felt a bit too much fighting the controls and the save mechanics feel a bit outdated. Made me look up some of the boss tactics, as some took quite long, not sure if I was doing the right thing and slowly losing health. Didn't really fancy to start that all over. Not knowing you could dodge till the last multiple ghost fight probably didn't help either.
Balance controls are shit too, luckily that's only a few sections, most could be solved by putting the 3DS on a table, the other did B for me.

Those are the only downsides though, all the other stuff is great, enjoyed all the puzzles, loved the ghost designs, environments are good, animation is full of detail (puff balls where fun too), there's some nice cartoon tension in some scenes, music is good, Luigi is a star, boo's are fun to hunt down (although I haven't gone back, I enjoyed searching for them, always aimed for finding them, but the reward isn't worth it to redo levels), there's some nice hidden stuff everywhere.
Overall it's a joy to play, thanks Muzzy for clearing out your pile!

I was happy to wait for Xmas - the Missus wasn’t. She’s played the Switch more than me, so far. She was playing it while I did overwatch with stormy yesterday, and she took it to bed. I’m starting to think it wasn’t really a gift for me.

YOU MAKE ME SICK

Fuck you and your capitalist holidays. Long live the great proletariat revolution.

Yeah, me!

If you just get enough moons to get to the next world it's not a massive game to get to the credits. I got bored on the moon and haven't finished it but I was under 10 hours to get there.

You know how it feels to reach too high, too far, too soon.  But you didn't see

Titanfall 2

Surprised how quickly the last few missions went. It's a good final stretch but doesn't come close to the best missions in the middle part of the game (the 'time travel' bit especially).

Overall it's pretty much exactly what you want from a linear FPS campaign. Guns with a good punch to them, much spectacle, and some neat ideas. More than anything it keeps giving you new tools to play with, and really seems to want you to have fun with them, which is nice. 

There's not a lot of challenge, but that's what the other difficulties are for. Might go back one day, but that'll do for now.

Just finished Super Mario Odyssey. It’s good and all but hardly the second coming it’s been made out to be in some places.

It's no The Last Guardian

Darksiders 2
A game that's almost entirely an amalgamation of other games, but a competent one nonetheless. There's a good chunk of Zelda, some Prince of Persia: SoT, Platinum style brawling, and loot gathering from those games that do that, plus bits and bobs from other places. It all works well (except one crummy section near the end) and it's pleasantly bolted together, but lacks any real inspiration. As clear a 7/10 as a game could be.

Axiom Verge (PS4)

I thought this was really very good.  Not quite sure why I took a break several months ago, but was good to get back in and see it through.

The basic dizzle is a 2D Metroidvania - in fact, basically a 2D Metroid, with matching graphics & pallette - but it had quite a lot of its own stuff going on (moreso in mechanics than thematics).  Fun weapons/tools etc.  Good difficulty, solid length.  And pretty remarkably all by one person.

I've no doubt there's loads of route breaking you could do too.  I was pretty happy with my play through, and only got 60% of the items!  I reckon @DarkSoldier would enjoy, and hopefully @nina too, though she'll tell me off for having now completed it...

A worthy [8].

I have enjoyed Uncharted immensely, but it’s time to stop. Seven out of Ten.

Yep.

They effectively did end with 4 as Lost Legacy was the dlc.

Anyway, I’m sorry to hear you’re unwell and hope you recover soon. 4, the best by far. Fuck me.

@Muzzy, nah, I'm not gonna tell you off. Good thing you completed and enjoyed it. I know B didn't like it that much, which is holding me off a bit. I'm too busy with NieR and Splatoon anyway, i guess I jump in when I've done NieR (which should be done before World releases).
