Finally downloaded HotlineMiami for the ps4. Ultra violent, top down action. Good fun but very tricky.

Shouldn't be more than a fiver now, as think there is a sequel out.
Played and finished the new Ratchet and Clank over the past few weeks. It's really great. Was given the new Doom for my birthday and that is pretty brilliant as well.
Also started the Witcher 3. Which i think will pretty much be the last game I start in 2016. It's absolutely massive. Writing is really great, which helps. Playing some really good games recently.

I put up the money for Rocket League the other day. Ridiculous game. Gives me big smiles as I'm hopeless at it. I actually feel I get worse as time goes on...
But - shamefully - I've gone back to Minecraft. There's something about this sandbox game that keeps me busy...

What do you do when you play?

I control nature. I don't like unsightly hills, straggly grass, chasms, and general mess. So I tidy, homogenise, and run around with a trusty pick-ax.
I feel I might be missing out on playing with redstone, but I'm currently having too good a time to worry about all that. My current pet solo world has a particularly vexatious mountain which is being systematically brought down to size, but also I now have a pig-hole. My pigs are not impressed.

Hotline Miami was about £8 I think, on the PS4. It's really good for a quick half hour blast, and has that Super Hexagon feeling of, "I failed, I want to try again!".
The Witcher is amazing! I've been playing that since Christmas and still don't think I'm anywhere near to completing it. Definitely NOT good for a half hour blast!

JK - you could save yourself time and start in a super flat world. Do you have mobs enabled, or are you just sorting pieces into piles?

Superflat world? Where's the fun in that? I like finding the order within the chaos. And sighing that my work is never done!
And yes, mobs abound. Don't see the point of creative mode

Spleen
I like your Minecraft style JK. I've never got close to "finishing" Minecraft (as in reached The End) because my way of occupying myself in the sandbox involves creating needlessly elaborate houses to store all the crafting stuff in. And then long before I reach The End I get bored of my current house and start a new game. I do like how the game's tech tree lends itself to creatively upgrading the shack or cave you use to hide from the zombies at night. You could just plonk a stove or enchantment bookshelf anywhere, but it's so much more satisfying to have a kitchen or a library.
The screenshot (if it works) is of my current gaff. (I have more than a few mods installed in case you're wondering.)

Other than Minecraft I'm currently playing Captain Forever Remix, which has managed the difficult threshold of prising me away from Binding of Isaac. It's a top down space shooter in the style of Asteroids, and the gimmick is that when you destroy enemy spaceships, any bits of their ship that survive can be bolted onto yours with the mouse cursor.
It's a deceptively difficult game - when you start playing you just bolt on guns wherever they'll fit and go charging in, but in the later levels you realise that a flying brick with the turning circle of Wayne Rooney gets torn apart in three seconds. You need an understanding of physics on top of quick reactions in order to create a ship able to manoeuvre into the gaps in the enemies' firepower. It can be frustrating but like the best action games it rewards practice. Definitely recommended to both casual and serious gamers.
