7. Horizon Zero Dawn

Just the base game here, still need to do the DLC and finish off a few hunting grounds challenges for the platinum.
Obviously the game is an artistic triumph, and the storyline is gripping, especially as you find more and more backstory through the recordings and holos. It's just the inbetween bits that are missing something. It's a big old game area, and aside from a couple of oppotunities, you're on foot, which means a lot of fast travelling to the nearest discovered campfire. And there's too many of those. Should have reduced them to within settlements and outside quest locations. As it is, you're just fast travelling between quest markers, and if you aren't FT, you're constantly combat rolling, as that's Aloy's quickest way of moving. Also, special mention to the collectibles, which are handily shown on the map once you buy the locations, but net you little reward for actually collecting them all - not even clothes or an outfit (that said, the Viewpoints storyline is a nice exception), and money ceases to be an issue pretty quickly.

9/10 for the story, 8/10 for the completionists (I'm still looking for missing datapoints)

1 Stardew Valley
2. Assassins Creed 3
3. Assasasins Creed Liberation
4. Hidden Cats in Rome
5. Tresure Hunter Simulator
6. Thank Goodness You're Here!

A charming, if little simplistic, puzzle game filled to the brim with character, characters and running gags. A lot of this is glorified fetch quests and the controls are worthy of a NES controller, but you'll never hear so much (accurate) Yorkshire accent and dialect spoken in a game. Got 73% on my first playthrough and a lot of the remaing trophies are hidden, so at least there's some replayability. Try and get it on special offer though, I might baulk at paying full price (or in Yorkshire speak, 'OW MUCH?')

Northerners 8/10, everyone else 7/10

5. Treasure Hunter simulator (Platinum)
Another cheap one - under £10 in the PS store sale. Very linear and feels unfinished (complete ‘story mode’ to see what I mean). Going to keep this on hand because I want to see if exploration mode will help me complete the collections (not included in the trophy list for whatever reason)

4. Hidden Cats in Rome (Platinum)

It's less than 2 pounds in the store - might take even less time than Alba to complete, so it good for a short blast or if anyone wants to quickly increase the number of trophies they have. Wish they would let you change cursor sensitivity though.

1. Stardew Valley (100%)
2. Assassin's Creed 3 (HD remaster)
3. Assassin's Creed Liberation (HD remaster)

Normally I wouldn't (given that 3 is the end of the Desmond storyline) but this came in the bundle so I bit the bullet. Quite an easy game overall but there are some absolutely infuriating sequences (I'm looking at you, canoe ride) and it feels like it's trying to compensate for the main story shallowness by offering shedloads of sidequests/collectibles and hobbling fast travel within locations. I did like the idea of different outfits having different powers, but sometimes the game shoehorns you into using a particular one instead of letting you experiment.

Took me till year 11, but I finally achieved perfection in Stardew Valley.

There's no way I'm getting the Prarie King achivements, so the only thing left for me is a Joja run*...
