The Talos Principle
This is one of my favourite games of all time. It is a puzzle game with great puzzles and story line. There is a reasonable focus on philosophy as part of the story line. If this doesn’t interest you you aren’t required to read all of the information (although I think the game is better if you do. Finally, I loved the number of Easter eggs hidden in the game.

Alan Wake
Really enjoyed this largely story line driven game. The game was short and enjoyable. Which was great given I was looking for something that wasn’t going to take up huge amounts of my time. Certain items key to fully following the the story line were only available on the hardest difficulty. I regret initially not playing the game on this difficulty as it isn’t a lot harder and has resulted in me doing a second run through (good job it’s short and enjoyable). The only other drawback is that the game play is a little repetitive.

Control
I think that this is the most graphically spectacular game I’ve ever played. Unusually I’ve had a second run through of the game and have thoroughly enjoyed it a again. On this second run through I have stopped before the end to play through Alan Wake as one of the expansions heavily references Alan Wake and I wanted to understand all the context behind this.
The game has interesting machanics and a great story line.

God of War (2018)
Very immersive story line driven game. Thoroughly enjoyed and and very much hoping the sequel will come to PC. Particularly loved the way the game filled the slower exploration areas. There were parts of the story line that nodded to the legacy games, but these were generally well explained in this game (you do not need to play the legacy games to really enjoy this one, I hadn’t).
Thoroughly recommend.
