Marvel Puzzle Quest is still dominating, but I did finally wrap-up Cordy 2 and scope-out Angry Birds POP! The former just didn't grab me like the first one did, and the latter is a really well-made Puzzle Bobble clone, but the free-to-play mechanics get in the way of fully enjoying the experience.
Remember Me was my main jam otherwise, and about halfway through it all felt kinda bleh; cool aesthetic, high production values, good performances of awkward dialogue, interesting world, intriguing combat system, and all of it together just didn't quite coalesce into what it should've been. I'll finish it, but it's feeling awfully repetitive.
...And then Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, Headlander, and Titanfall 2 went on sale. I picked-up the first two (and Tomb of the Lost Adventurer for the 2013 Tomb Raider 'cause it was, like, $0.80... And still not really worth it), and while I've yet to dig into Headlander, RotTR is just great; much more cohesively realised than Remember Me, albeit still kinda ham-fisted at times (especially with the dialogue) and contrived at others (too many nits to pick here) - but raiding those gorgeous tombs is a hell of a lot of fun. Passed on Titanfall 2 because it was still over $50 CDN after the exchange rate, plus I've yet to see everything in the first one.
