Skyrim is a truly phenomenonal game. The sheer scale of the game plus the Dawnguard and Dragonborn add ons are simply breathtaking in scope, their detail expansive and with a great eye for that detail. You can get lost in a game of this size and depth for months, maybe longer. I'm now on my sixth play through at time of writing (July 2nd 2020), previous playthroughs were Xbox 360x2, PC x2, Xbox one x1 and my current Xbox one playthrough. The game appears to get better each time I play, with revelations, new areas and dungeons becoming apparent to me I had never experienced in previous game sessions. The books are a marvel to read. My appreciation of the world building has Increased over the years, the quality of gameplay is just wondrous. We are truly privileged to be living in such a golden age of gaming ( I believe the golden age of gaming started with the Snes & Megadrive/genesis) and I am truly appreciative of the Elder Scroll series. Skyrim and Oblivion being the two finest examples of the series yet. As for Skyrim, this current playthrough is seeing me try to do just about everything, as well as being a tourist taking screenshots of beautiful vistas as I go. This series has never been better. Go ahead, lose yourself in the wholly involving and intriguing game that is SKYRIM.

Simply put, far cry 3 was the first game in the series to find its feet. The tower / base capture mechanic has been great in far cry 3,4 & 5. Long may it continue.

The Snyder cut of justice league is just excellent. The fleshed out stories, the grim darkness ( that all DC films should embrace), the extra characters that make the film actually make more sense along with great sfx and a wonderful sense of impending doom is fantastically enjoyable and engaging.

Simply the most original take on a franchise that only mildly re-invented itself upon each release. Then MGS5 is released and it massively reinvents itself for the better in every aspect. Its open world. Both maps are huge. It can be played full stealth, full out third person shooter mayhem or a combination of both. A brilliant game engine, an insane attention to detail, infinite replayability, a sense of humour, coupled with an eccentric and fun story just lead me to conclude that this is the open world game design other open world games need to emulate. Theses a Base building section, you recruit members for your covert army from enemies you defeat. Do you like that tank the baddie is using? Airlift that sucker out and now its YOUR tank! Raid outposts and bases for materials, save the wildlife in the war zones if you want, brutalise the enemy, or take want you want and vanish like a leaf on the wind. It's truly an open game. With 50 story missions which can sometimes take hours ( if you want them to), and around 175 side missions ( all but a few are optional), this game is worth its asking price. If you like open world games, this is for you. I simply cannot give this game enough credit for its brilliance. But it now, and be prepared for a wonderful all encompassing experience, that, at this time, I can not ever see being equalled.
