Games beaten in 2013

Steam/PC

Typical bullethell shooter with a strange and edgy story. Nothing bad to say about it.

Steam/PC

Story is kind of good but when it's a cover based shooter that's even duller than Gears of War, you can't praise it too much. I played it on normal and it took only 5 hours so it's not worth the full price. I would recommend buying it for cheap and playing on easy just for the story.

PS Plus/PS3

A great fighting game with the stupidest plot ever. Of course the story mode isn't that important in fighting games but I still think that my brain died a little bit. Fighting mechanics in the game are good but the boss fights are stupid hard. It wouldn't matter if they only had hard patterns but they also make much more damage than you. Still it's a good game and you should try it if you don't have the habit of breaking controllers if you lose 10 times in a row.

I didn't try it online because latency sucks in these kind of games.

PS Plus/PS3

Nice design for an open world game. The world doesn't look dull and there's something to do everywhere. The only really negative thing to say about this game is it's average fighting mechanics. In this game staying behind a cover and spamming is the best way to win the toughest fights. Or you can just stay a certain distance away from the enemies and shoot them before they do so.

PS Plus/PS3

Unlike Infamous 2 this game is all about the fighting mechanics. Hand-to-hand combat feels almost as good as in Arkham-games. The soundtrack (radio channels) is probably one of the best in any open world games. The worst thing must be the on-foot chase sequences. They always end the same way.

PS Plus/PS3

A game from the maker of Portal that is a bit too much like Portal. I mean when you have a voice commenting on everything you do in a fps puzzle game and the game design consisting of rooms that are full of puzzles which you need to solve in order to get to the exit. The worst part of this game must be the jumping parts. Why would anyone put hard jumping puzzles in an FPS game?

Steam/PC

Short arcadey game that has a great B movie plot. Though the plot would work better in a TV series or a movie. I can't tell why because it would spoil the plot twist of the game. Lets just say that it repeats itself too much. Challenge horde mode is great but I didn't feel like playing it for more than 3 matches. I don't really feel like playing horde mode in any game anymore.

PS3

If it was a movie I would give it 3/5 but as a game story it's much better than your average action game. Some of the QTE's like changing diapers are there just to irritate the player but at least the action scenes were great. The game gives player some options but I played the game through only once so I can't say how much they affect the story and overall game.

PS3

A refreshing game. It changes its genre from survival horror to action game and from there to puzzle platformer and twin-stick shooter. The plot is ridiculous and humor quite childish which works in this case. The controls are fine but in some cases the game requires pretty much precision.

Also: you don't get the easy difficulty trophy when you beat the game on medium which is damn stupid.

Steam/PC

This game is absolutely stunning. Played on the Ultra settings on PC it looks like a painting. And it also has one of the best stories in a game ever. If only the combat wasn't that boring this would easily be one of the greatest games ever made. Heck, it might still be.

PS3

Better than AC1 and Brotherhood. Maybe could be a little shorter. The Controls are the hardest enemy in this game.

Steam/PC

A great game that allows you to play how ever you want to. I didn't kill anyone during my first play through. Next time I might just kill everyone.

Steam/PC

Steam/PC

Steam/PC

One of the best indie games I've played. All the references to Drive and the soundtrack make the game so great. Also it reminds me of "Tapan Kaikki" game series.

PS Plus/PS3

A fine action game that has some serious problems. The framerate on PS3 gets crappy some times and the checkpoints are too far apart. If you die during a mission, it's probable that you need to drive a long distance and do many other things again. That if something pisses me off in these kind of games. It's not like this game needed to be an open-world game anyway. There's almost nothing to do in the city.

Steam/PC

A great indie platformer with tight controls and challenging level design. One of those games where you keep failing over and over again and it isn't the game's fault. You just suck.

Also the music is amazing.

3DS

Solid framerate, lots of exploration, well designed dungeons, amazing 3D effect and some of the greatest music in the video game history. There's just nothing bad to say about this game. Easily the best Zelda game in the last 10 years and not too far from being the best in the series.

This might end up being my choice for the game of the 2013.

Steam/PC

I didn't technically beat this game yet but since there's only one episode available I beat everything there's to play right now. I might come back to this when there's new content.

Retro style action platformers seem to be a new trend. You either like 'em or you don't. I like them if the game mechanics are enjoyable. In this case they are. It might not have the best combat mechanics out there but still worth trying out. Also the soundtrack is great. Reminds me of a Mega Man OST.

Steam/PC

3DS

A refreshing title after being bored with New Super Mario Bros. series. Not as revolutionary as Super Mario Galaxy but still quite good. The later part of the game is challenging enough to make up for the easy start.

Steam/PC

I really like this game but it's buggy as hell. I have seen four game-breaking glitches that made me start a level from the beginning. It really kills the mood for me.
