I've been having fun with... Cookie Clicker. Sometimes it's really tedious trying to get achievements (like popping 200 reindeer... or worse, trying to pop a reindeer during the rare and short elder frenzy), but overall I'm enjoying it. I enjoy seeing the effect huge boosts, such as ascending with a few million more heavenly chips or getting the next kitten upgrade do. It's also fun to break the game by stacking ridiculous events in your favor... such as the rare click frenzy frenzy. Wait for a golden cookie to spawn, then force another with the grimoire and hope it plays nice. So far, the most ridiculous event I've had involved a frenzy, a click frenzy, and a building special...

14.991 million prestige right now, and ascending right now would give me another 40.5 million, so that's a huge boost waiting to happen... but the level is increasing very quickly. I'm getting 100 levels a second or something ridiculous right now... but it's time to go to bed, so the wrinklers can whither my CPS until I get ready for work tomorrow... buy some more upgrades or something, then go to work, come back, see what's available then. Then probably ascend for another giant boost...

After playing Eve Online for years and Path of Exile exclusively I got bored and decided to try Warframe for the first time. I have to say that although I am not into these shooting games I find it quite interesting with all these warframes, weapons and mods you can combine.

Finished Sleeping Dogs in its entirety. All side quests plus Zodiac Island (basically Enter the Dragon, but Sun on Yee style). The only thing I didn't care for were cop jobs.
All in all, a quite enjoyable main game with 2 really bad DLCs. It's like they didn't even try for those.

Started playing Kingdom Rush Origins, third game in the universe and one of my favorite tower defense series ever.

Also, finally got Shovel Knight, and the game is amazing so far. Like Megaman of old, but better. Music is phenomenal and controls are tight as hell, just how I like it.

Just finished Sniper Elite 4 after 31 hours, which is a bit disappointing because I was enjoying the pace.
Since I don't play multiplayer at all, this is the kind of game I like and I hope they launch version 5.
Still, I haven't finished V2 and 3 yet, so there's always something to fall back on.

does anyone here play the Kingdom New lands and 2 crowns?
This game is kind of interesting although the graphics isn't shocking :) or maybe it is shocking but not in the way you'd guys want :D

LoZ: Ocarina of Time 3D.

OMG. One of the best games I've ever played. :) Of course I didn't find all the secrets. Nintendo knows how to make games. Majora's Mask wasn't that good.

There are enough different ways to play each of the scenarios that I got over 100 hours in without being bored. What I am saying is the replay value is pretty high with that game!

Yeah, I have gone through levels from different directions, tried all sniper kills, then all stealth kills, etc. several of the levels, like the big abbey, town and vineyards are so big that going about the whole thing different ways brings different results with how the AI acts.

That is a definite controller game. Dont even attempt with Kb/m. Normally I make it work no matter what, but not that one.
Come on, where's the fun in that?
The real challenge and charm of the game is to use KB/M and see how far you can maintain your patience and temper and not punching your monitor out of frustration throughout the game.

On serious note,
I just finished my first playthrough in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
Like I wrote in my past post, content galore.
After more than I don't know how much hours I've spent (I've been playing since October last year, on day one), I didn't even complete all the sidequests because I missed them.

My thoughts about the ending of second episode of the First Blade story:
Forced romance or romantic relationship is and will never be the thing I like, not even the last thing I would want to have in life. Natakas... I bet he couldn't benchpress more than 200kg without excessive panting and screaming, never mind taking down Cyclops (the mythical creature as a free part of the update, not that dumb, bald brute that tortured Barnabas because of trivial things) or Medusa. But I don't know, I think he's a great candidate for a househusband and a father, him being a loving and caring kind of guy, at least from that scene with the baby. But what bothers me about the episode and the ending is that the ending choices don't matter at all, because even after I chose Darius and his son to leave, they didn't leave. It's like being given two choices, a cup of hot coffee or a cold beer, and I choose coffee and they still give me a beer, even though I can't drink alcohol (real life fact). I don't mind with this need to have descendants or legacy but if all roads lead to Rome the same ending, then why bother with multiple choices in the first place?
Also whatever happened with my good ending with everybody including Alexios are alive and reunited back as a family? If they wanted Leonidas and Myrrine to have family legacy why not going with Alexios instead if Kassandra chose Darius to leave?

About Stentor:
One (almost) fight scene involving Stentor after I was tasked to hunt and kill 4 Beotia champions was completely cringeworthy. Kassandra kept insisting to not tell Stentor that Nikolaos is alive and well. Instead she kept giving impression that Nikolaos was dead and it sounded like she had a part in it (killed Nikolaos). If that was how the writer(s) wanted to build tensions leading up to Nikolaos' interference, then they failed spectacularly, at least for me. The dialogue was boring and not what I expected, considering everything. I don't know how to explain it but it was really cringeworthy to me. When Nikolaos finally showed up, I was already making my coffee.

Also the respond from Kassandra to Stentor in Megaris after I completed all the required quests (leaders/supplies) and reported back to Stentor before the conquest battle. Did she really have to say "I am ready!" with such tone?

And that pose of Stentor after I agreed and confirmed that the conquest battle in Megaris can begin, the one scene near the tent when Stentor, standing in front of some Spartan soldiers, put his clenched fist in front of his chest and smiling after Kassandra (or Alexios? I didn't play as him) agreed to begin the conquest battle. Move that fist up and down repeatedly and you'll get the most inspiring gesture to start a battle, conquest or no.

About Kephallonia:
Who could've guessed that saving an innocent family could lead to the death of many innoncent people? Not me. The game has its own unique ways to surprise me. But I'm kind of disappointed that Kephallonia served no more than being a training ground or tutorial part of the game. I personally think it could be more than just an island that we'll soon leave and forget.

And that "one button does many" kind of thing, like press Y to interact, collect things and assassinate. God! I lost count on how many times I tried to interact with the blacksmiths and instead of opening the store, I ended up punching a nearby patrolling guard or poor bystander in the face and stabbing them in the stomach and unnecessary, ridiculous time-consuming chase ensued, usually involved some brave civilians armed with sticks or brooms and strong sense of justice along the way.

I love this game!

Overall, despite its cringeworthy scenes and parts, it's a great gaming experience. I'll start a second playthrough soon. I'm curious with the remaining options and choices I didn't pick in the first playthrough.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. One of the best ways of spending the 30min commute I've found to date.
