The levels are HUGE and feature a lot of ways to accomplish any given objective. So far I'm really happy with it. Except for how it completely flips out if you ALT + TAB out of it.

It started early in January when I was out sick from work for a few days plus a weekend and I started Subnautica. I restarted it after a while because I got tired of the grinding chore of catching fish to convert to food and water constantly when I found out there was a mode that let you skip that and play the game without it. That made it immeasurably better for me and I really enjoyed it. I normally have no desire to play a survival game, but that's because I don't like the idea of doing a bunch of work and then have it all undone by some jerk who raids and steals everything. I don't get the attraction with that stuff but to each their own I guess. Subnautica is strictly single player for now at least, so I got a lot of satisfaction out of starting with nothing and building all these cool tools and stuff.
Then I picked up XCOM2 in the humble bundle and played through the tutorial and several missions. I'm liking it so far, but I feel like I will need at least 2 hours free time to play sessions of this, which is hard to come by right now.
Finally, I remembered I had been meaning to try Limbo which has been sitting uninstalled in my Steam library for a while. I'm not sure how long this game is, but I think it's okay so far. I'm not sure, but I'm expecting some kind of twist down the line. Right now it fits as a game I can play in small chunks, which is perfect for me and a nice break form my utter addiction to Hearthstone.

From what I've seen of the game so far, I can picture that being doable but super-hard in some parts. Jumping over a spinning razor blade section seems like it would be tough. I don't have the patience for that though. My favorite of this type of game among the modern types I've tried was Ori and the Blind Forest. That game was amazing to look at, but it's hazardous to controller health. Mine almost went through a window.

Depending on how long you take to puzzle everything out, I'd say 2-4 hours.

The premise for going to the location is a bit laughable.
Also, the Vanishing Point (foreshadowing?) 1970 Challenger the main character drives is a damn automatic. Dreadful.

Samoko, are you using the combos/combo customization much?
Not so much for the spear, but I switch back and forth between some of the defensive options for the Sword and Dual Swords. The kick can be replaced with some better stuff later on if you're going for damage, but it's still nice to have that big ki damage to open up an enemy for infinite combo crap.

Definitely not going to play NG+.
I liked the first DLC better than any area in the main game. But it is not without its problems, like a very annoying enemy type that's fast, strong and very resilient.
Second was kinda forgettable (literally, I barely remember it), and I never managed to make it to the third.

Did you play DS3 and/or Bloodborne already?

I don't have a PS4, so no Bloodborne. Though hopefully at some point I can borrow one from a friend and play it.

Finished it last night. There were two puzzles in particular that had me staring at my screen after 10 minutes with a dumb blank look on my face. I had to walk away and do something else both times only to com back later and figure it out. I'm not sure how I feel about the game. I was expecting more from the ending, but I guess it's meant to be ambiguous.Black Barney wrote: 2 hours max. run throughs take me anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes.

The follow-up, INSIDE, is supposed to be fantastic. Much deeper. I need to play it.
Hope you liked it Markus! I love that game. Played it many times.
