I skipped it at release, but Deus EX Mankind Divided is only $4.50 on Steam at the moment, so that's an easy buy.
I exclusively play these games for the stealth, so it's Ghost + Pacifist or bust. Though I heard it's harder to do that in this one compared to Human Revolution? Could be remembering wrong.

Did a mostly stealth run first time, maybe I'll do a guns blazing run if I pick it up again. |

Though I heard it's harder to do that in this one compared to Human Revolution? Could be remembering wrong. I did both HR and MD fully ghost and pacifist. MD is a bit more difficult than HR in general because 1) Glass-Shield cloak uses more energy in MD than in HR. 2) Enemy heavy must be stunned before taken down in MD. In HR they can be taken down directly. 3) Cameras are more sensitive in MD and have higher fov (I think). 4) Certain plot decisions can trigger alarm and automatically fail the ghost run. However, in MD, there are more new abilities that can help you with stealth. I did not use them much so yeah those may help. Regarding plot decisions, just go with ones that make the most sense considering the plot, and you should be fine. And it's a good idea to save before confronting important characters since failing the "debate game" can trigger alarm as well. |

Hitman 2 had a Sniper Assassin Map release, it's pretty fun and I felt really good figuring out a few of the challenges. Although I had to look up how to get 3 of the ones I wanted (only found 5/10 Rubber Ducks, and 6/9 Rats on my own, and one of the [Redacted challenges] was to save Agent Smith who was locked up in a shipping crate). Will also pop in Soul Calibur VI to play through Amy's story and maybe restart a Libra of Soul playthrough. I also finally finished my first run of the Resident Evil 2 remake...I got a B, and I've started Leon's B scenario then stopped before I have to face the Licker in its original hallway (I got a chuckle about how Leon holds his 1911 gangsta' style). Will also be playing the Mortal Kombat 11 Beta (a little disappointed that it's pretty much the Online Stress Test with Jade and Kabal added, along with the Arcade Tower being select-able from the get-go). It gets me super hyped for the game seeing how good it looks and how fun it is to play (even though I relied on the same tactics when I was using Skarlet). Interestingly one of the masks Jade has is called "future Queen of the Osh-tekk", and her dialogue with Baraka mention that she's going to wed Kotal Kahn. I wonder if that'll happen in the story or in her Arcade ending. |

Uncharted 4 - if Nathan thinks Elena doesn't know he's lying than he's an idiot  This game feels way different from the other 3. New mechanics are awesome, I love using rope and taking enemies from above. It's so much fun! Oh, and there's a proper sneaking this time  I recognized Sam's voice as Joel (TLOU) and I hear a lot of Fenris (or someone has a very similar voice to his VA's) among Nadine's soldiers. |

I just got around to beating that last year! It actually wasn't mine, I never bought it. My brother did, but he hates story-focused stuff so he gave it to me. It was a ton of fun, and after you beat it once, you unlock cheat codes for a second playthrough. The plot, in my opinion, was amazing and kept me hooked all the way through. The scenery was gorgeous, I have no less than 20 screenshots on my PlayStation from that game alone. I usually find the romance in linear games to be awkward or forced, but Nate and Elena have great chemistry and I had a smile on my face every time they interacted. (All this on top of the fact that Nate is very easy on the eyes. Hell, Elena, too, for that matter) As to what I'm currently playing, it's a mix between Fallout 4 and Borderlands 2, trying to beat the latter before 3 comes out. I never beat Deus Ex Mankind Divided, because, honestly, I suck at stealth games. I ended up playing Breach more than the main game. |

(All this on top of the fact that Nate is very easy on the eyes. Hell, Elena, too, for that matter) Their chemistry is very well written. Natural, not forced at all. I love it  All characters are great, even villains. ND really did an amazing job with those games. EDIT: car chase scene was priceless! Aaaaaand... I knew Elena would find him. He made her cry  |

As much as I adore Chloe (who wouldn't, it's Claudia Black  ), I don't know if I'd enjoy Uncharted without Nathan. I'm still thinking about buying this one, still not sure if I will. I thought the same at first, cuz I started as playing with a big crush on him lol but your going to like her even more on this one. It really goes deeper on her character, get to know her and her bond with the other character Nadine is great. It will also fill in some nice blanks from UC4. So... I did it. I exchanged Mass Effect Andromeda (xone ver, I bought Deluxe Edition from PS4 store so I'm not losing anything  ) for Lost Legacy |

I've been playing Pillars of Eternity (the first one) for the last couple of days. I find the story and lore interesting, but I have to say that the gameplay is starting to get tiresome. ...I just miss mashing buttons I guess   |

I was like whoa rip andromeda Nevaaaahhhh! If it's anything close to U4 then I'm sure I'll enjoy it U2 and U4 are my favs even though Nate the bastard broke Elena's heart and it was damn difficult to see it. She JUST found him after he was almost shut by Rafe, action went to flashback from when he was a kid now. I'm probably near the end of the game now and was forced to use a solution only once - with those underground puzzles in U3:  Also, what do you think about Until Dawn, Hidden Rain, Beyond Two Souls and Detroit Become Human? |

Uncharted 4 - done. Yes, this and the 2nd one are my most fav. No idea why but I didn't get the trophy for finishing the game. I played on light difficulty and such trophy does exist, hmm. EIDT: Ok, I got it after credits Will start Lost Legacy tonight. |

Oh good. The insanely attractive guy in the new Grim Dawn expansion artwork is actually in game. Kind of wish the modding community would give us a mod replacing the default hero with that avatar. 
Maybe in time. I'm sure as hell not competent enough to poke around in that editor!

I didn't get too much time to play the MK11 Beta, and I pretty much stuck with Skarlet but I did take a screenshot of Kabal and Jade. Kaballin'  Not easy being Green.  Did the recent Elusive targets: One was in the Hitman 2 tutorial level, so no outfit reward, even though he has a wetsuit(?) for that stage, ended up blowing the target up by releasing a gas valve that she smokes next to. Second was the Black-hat from season 1 in the Paris stage...I goofed and was spotted by the civilian in the room with him, making me miss out on a Silent Assassin ranking One time a Seagull actually pushed 47 out of his Sniper spot, and into a spot where no shots could be taken cause a wall was in front of him. and here's 47 bird-watching in Hantu port. And now it's time for everyone's favorite thing...a whole lotta DOA 6 Screenshots. Funnily enough they ended up patching out the whole pattern parts thing, boy was that all dumb.  |
