I managed to finish a handful of games this year and even offset Telltale ones with couple of open world titles:
Minecraft: Story Mode – A Telltale Games Series
Surprisingly not terrible the way I expected it to be, but then again I didn't know much about Minecraft. That filler episode with features streamers and whatnot can go die in a fire, though.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Sailing is the main attraction yet I was also disappointed by among the worst on-foot sections. Way too many eavesdrop this guy, follow that guy, etc. Minimal protagonist customization as well. Casual pirate game for people who can't cut it with actual simulations.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
What does one even say about Witcher 3 anymore? Is it perfect? Hell no and it has some really apparent flaws, but I still enjoyed it. Both pieces of DLC were outstanding. I wish CDPR leaned more on Gothic school of thought over "modern open world" one.
Epistory - Typing Chronicles
Odd game out. I can't type worth shit and still scored above average WPM. I liked the foldout paper art style it employed.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
The Walking Dead game that did not need to be made. Played it to see where Clementine's story was going. I wish I could take those couple of hours back.
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Ironically this turned out to be a superior version of Black Flag for me. It's shorter and has less content overall, but its story had relevance to Assassins vs Templars metaplot and on-foot sections weren't as annoying. Add to that familiar sailing and you have a pretty surprising entry. Shame it clearly played second fiddle to Unity.
Syndicate
I'm going to pretend this has nothing to do with the original. Once you get past the BLOOM eye cancer and WUB WUB soundtrack it's rather solid. Fast paced action once everything clicks together. Kinda wish legit interesting setting was expanded a bit more past the database itself.
So turns out I haven't played many RPGs, old or new, because I dedicated 2/3 of the time to Assassin's Creed games of all things. 2019 will be better. Can't be any worse.
