Been bouncing around between these three games over the weekend.



The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Easily one of the prettiest games I've ever seen and finally something that I haven't been able to max out. The writing is solid and the combat is a pretty good blend of button mashing (or mouse clicking) and tactics with enough complexity to keep you on your feet.



Contrast

An interesting blend of 3D adventure and 2D puzzle platforming with a 1920's film noir/ jazz setting with some amazing art deco architecture. Stylistically it looks like the films Coraline, The City of Lost Children, and Dark City were all mashed up and seeing as how I love all of them I'm quite a fan of the style. I wish there was some anti aliasing to help round out some of the edges, but overall there's a lot of color and is quite aesthetically pleasing. Puzzle wise it's pretty basic, and definitely won't tax your brain too much but is pretty cool how you manipulate objects in a 3D space to create shadows to gain access to new areas in the 2D plane. It's one of the PS4 launch titles and is available on Steam so I'd recommend you check it out.



A Walk in the Dark

It's basically Limbo but you're a cat. There's some really pretty piano music and the game is reasonably priced but beyond that it really just is Limbo but you're a cat.
