Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut

Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut is yet another Portal without portals. It had a free weekend on Steam, obviously to advertise the release of Q.U.B.E. 2 and knowing how the titles of the genre typically aren't all that long, I decided to quickly play through the game which was developed by Toxic Games and originally released in 2011.

Leviathan Wakes

The Expanse is an ongoing science fiction novel series written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck under the pen name James S. A. Corey. The authors appear to be quite productive, having released a new book every year since 2011.

Sword Coast Legends

This decade hasn't seen many takers in video games for the Dungeons & Dragons license. And the few new titles that have come out haven't been on the same level as the games of old. The 4th edition didn't inspire developers and the 5th seems to have a similar problem. Or at least that's my impression.

Planescape: Torment - Enhanced Edition

It had again been 7 years since I last played Planescape: Torment and I thought it was time for another run of the old classic. But before I got to it, Beamdog announced they were releasing an enhanced edition of the game in April (last year) and I ended up waiting for it to get cheap enough to do my playthrough in it instead.

Games I Finished in 2017

I got stuck on writing the previous post for few months and thus this one didn't happen when it was supposed to. But I got it done eventually -- the list of all the 28 games I beat last year placed in arbitrary tiers.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

I'm including Dragon Age: Inquisition in the list of games I beat last year even though I technically finished it a week into January (after having started it in November). The game is pretty long with all of its DLC in the mix and doing a 100% run took me 154 hours in total, rivaling the time I finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in.

Sid Meier's Civilization V

Being of the turn-based 4X strategy genre, Sid Meier's Civilization V is not something I consider to be the most enjoyable type of game. I have played some of the earlier titles in the series, the fourth and the very first I think, but I have never owned a copy of one myself. However, I had to make an exception when Civ 5 Complete Edition was 92% off two months ago. The deal was too good to pass.

Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City takes place half a year after the events of the first game. A whole city district has been repurposed into a massive prison. Bruce Wayne opposes the idea, and during a press conference he voices his opinion in, Hugo Strange's thugs capture and throw him in the said facility.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

It was time to finally beat the first two Batman: Arkham games hidden in my Steam library. I have a code for the third's DLC too but I doubt I will buy the actual game nor continue with the series.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III

Here is a game I did not finish this last year and probably never will either. It had a free weekend -- a second one in fact, so desperate were/are they to get people to play it -- and I decided to try going through its singleplayer campaign during it. I got to mission 5 until I uninstalled the game and removed it from my wishlist. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III -- what the hell happened?
