I'm playing Dust right now as well, and totally blown away. Might even replay it on harder difficulty after the first playthrough just to get the most out of that combat, but the art/story/voices are fantastic.

Well, I mean, I'm not playing "right now"- right now I'm playing the forum game, but in a few minutes I'll probably be playing Dust again.

The Witcher 3
I'm still enjoying the game though I'm at the point I just want to beat it, see the ending and continue playing after that point.
I really like Gwent I have to say, which bring my interest in playing the next game.

Hearthstone
Never thought I'd try this game but I heard Gwent was a copy of this game so I though I'd give it a go. Very addicting and I do kinda like it but I feel Gwent is a better game at times.. And that's strange for a game inside another game..

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (Steam Trial)
I tried it and I don't really like it compared to M&B:Warband. Just doesn't have that epic scale that game has.

Finished Broken Age Act 2 today. It was decent but whilst I thought the puzzles in act 1 were a little easy, but fun, I found most of act 2 to be just a bit frustrating and unintuitive or involving too much busywork. Still, I didn't care too much about the game. My backing of the game was totally worth it thanks to the hugely informative documentary.

Mark of the Ninja, basically to test my new Xbox 360 wired controller on my computer...very impressive game with great art style and high replay value!

Serpent in the Staglands demo, but I still can't decide whether I want to get the full game :P

I relaunched Battle Worlds Kronos. Some months ago, I got quite a few visual bugs. reinstalling the current version via Galaxy resulted in a correct display.

I'm also playing Starpoint Gemini II

The kids are playing lego batman

Finally caved and bought Seprent in the Staglands. Really fun so far, and what I especially like is how fresh it is. It's a totally new and interesting rpg system which reminds me a little bit of Fallout.

I played the first boss the other day. Really cool, as I like big bosses that take up the whole screen. I read there are alot of boss battles in this game, so I'm stoked. Been too busy with other games to play it again though, but I'm looking foward to it.

Tug of war with the cyclops. The game that keeps on giving.,

I had the same experience with Blackgate. The map is terrible and it makes the backtracking tedious at best, and the combat just didn't really translate over to 2.5D very well (in my opinion). It's still installed on my laptop but I consider my playthrough "abandoned until further notice". A shame really, I loved the other Batman: Arkham games, even Origins (once it picked up halfway through the story).

How is this one? It's one of my bigger "Wants" and one I'll probably snatch up should it appear in the next big sale if the price is right.

Worth it? Good upgrades / loot / quests? Does it feel repetitious early on or is the push for the next set of skills and gear interesting? For a bit of context, I loved the idea of Drox Operative but burned out on it very quickly. Think I will encounter that problem here?

I would say that it depends on what your style of space games is. In short, the gameplay is quite good, but the universe feels quickly too empty . Of course, there is the campaign, but if you go around (sandbox) the freelance missions are somehow ( not the worst case I've seen though) repetitive and lackluster. Remains the idea of "going your own way". for the moment I'm enjoying it I would say, but that's not my game of the year.

If your reference is the X franchise or the good old privateer, this is a bit like an easier to get into erzatz. If your reference is the android type space game, this is probably much better.

I have drox but haven't played it yet.

Dark Souls

150 hours into the game. I alternate between my int build character and my dex build character. Both are in Anor Londo right now. I'm enjoying that game a lot.

system shock 2 soon. brilliant game.

Great write up thanks! I do love me some Privateer and had fun with my short(ish) time in X. A slightly more approachable version with some good gameplay sounds like this will be staying on my radar. I think a campaign and missions that aren't the worst examples of being terribly repetitious will keep me busy.
