Finished Batman Arkham Knight...well I finished the main campaign. No chance was I going to get 100% completion with the Riddler stuff. Just went to YouTube...
Probably my least favourite Batman game including Origins, but it's still a great game. Some great plot twists, although the main one I did see coming a mile away. Also really enjoyed using the batmobile. Apart from the platforming section at the very beginning of the game, I thought its inclusion definitely added to the experience.

Beat Uncharted 4 last night, amazing game and fully deserved all the high scores and accolades it received. I think it's my favourite in the series too. Makes me wish there was more linear,narrative driven games of this quality out there, the story is just so good
Hate to say it, but I just beat Ghostbusters on PS4...and seriously, don't get why the game was rated as so horrible...it's just like the PS3's download Sanctum Of Slime...not as great as it's former, but not that bad either...fun and has replay value, just don't get why it was rated so bad.
Finished the story of Rise of the Tomb Raider over the weekend, found the gameplay fun although there was some really annoying deaths where Lara wouldn't catch onto a ledge or cliff when she should have been able too. The story I found to be horrendously generic, it doesn't usually take a lot for me to get hooked into a story (even with video-game cliches) but the story in this was just so dull and uninspired. It's a shame because the developers created some interesting ways to provide lore and backstory but these were undone by the poor fiction. Also found the elements of metroidvania in the game to be annoying for some reasons, once I left an area I lost all interest in going back to look for challenge tombs, secrets etc.
Overal found it to be a good but uninspiring game
@Hego I finished the story this weekend and, although I am dedicated to going back and 100% it, I agree with your points. I enjoyed it but found the controls and combat sometimes a little bit off, like a perfectly lined headshot would still miss despite the indicator telling me I was lined up. The story was not as good as the first reboot and was just video game generic.
I love Tomb Raider and would still recommend the game and I really liked bits of it - a lot of the Tombs were fun and some good level design but I think the sequel has to have a better story.

Finished the story of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on the weekend. I thought it was pretty good! It took me a while to get into it, which I was surprised by, given how much I enjoyed Human Revolution. The story didn't really grab my attention, and there were a lot of dull characters, but the branching gameplay and large, open levels were very much in place, and I had some great moments trying to stealth through each mission. It was a little bit short, though.
It put me in the mood for Dishonored 2, so hoping to get hold of that soon
I finished Deus Ex last week too, and since I got Dishonored 2 for Christmas I'll be playing that once I go through all three Bioshock games. I liked Deus Ex, a lot, but it seems like the first act of a story rather than a full, finished narrative.
@Quintumply There was a rumour going round last year - I seem to recall that Jim Sterling broke it through sources he had at Square Enix - that Mankind Divided was originally a bigger story that was broken up so they could sell us a trilogy. Having played it, it does seem believable given how little is resolved, and how it obviously sets up future games.
Finally finished Rise of the Tomb Raider to 100% completion and DLC. Have considered the Platinum but I'd essentially need to replay every level with modifiers and I'm a bit burnt out on it.
Onwards to Unravel or Stories next...

Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens. It's the best lego game i've played since Star Wars the original trilogy. Just pure good old fashioned fun with great sound, graphics and cinematics, and humour which made me genuinely laugh out loud. Quality game.
I recently beat the Nathan Drake Collection. I have other games to play and I originally thought I'd beat one Uncharted game and move on to something else and kind of alternate but I found myself going and playing the next..and then "I'll just start the 3rd and see how it looks" (finishes it the next day haha). I'm on Uncharted 4 now. Loving the series a lot..as someone who never had a Playstation console until a month ago.
Today, I beat Dragon Age Origins for the first time. Took me a while, but I enjoyed it a lot. Has to be one of my favorite RPGs, with the tactics, story, and characters. I grew to enjoy it a lot more than I thought, since I'm not a huge RPG guy, but it was a great time. Had to beat it on easy though, since I had a hard time on normal.
I also have the Awakening expansion, so I'll get on that as soon as I can.

It's a great game. I have played it through a few times.
Titanfall 2 - an absolute blast! @BAMozzy finally done it, your critique of the campaign is fair, it feels a bit forced at times with the routine of solo gunning, platforming, get back to BT, boss fight.... Rinse and repeat. But all in all I absolutely love some of the levels! So I'm more in the @Boyfrommars82 camp and can give the game a solid 9.5/10
