    Went a little crazy this time around.

    * The Talos Principle

    * Serious Sam HD: SE Non-pre (US)

    * Serious Sam HD (US)

    * Fallout New Vegas Ultimate

    * J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars

    * This War of Mine

    * Homesick

    * Fallout 3 - Game of the Year

    * Fallout Classic Collection

    overall, I think I've been happiest with The Talos Principle. Think of it as 'another Portal game'. Super fun first-person puzzle game with a big philosophical bent and amazing graphics. Really happy with that one.

      Talos is so good! I think too many people discard it as a Portal clone, but it very much is its own thing. And it's so much more than just a puzzle game, the most interesting part is the story and presentation, not even the puzzles, as good as they are.

      J.U.L.I.A. is cool too, a flawed game, but I liked it quite a bit. I hope it sold well enough, for developers to make another adventure game.

        Yeah, Talos is something special. I think comparing Talos to a 'Portal clone' is probably disingenuous of me. It's really a super game that stands on it's own. The mechanics are reminiscent (more of a 'first-person-puzzle-game'). The lore and philosophy really bring out the story as well. Lots of eye candy as well. Never hurts ;)

      I've been playing Fallout NV (first play through) on and off for the last few months. It's showing signs of aging but it's still excellent even in today's standards.
