I'm playing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and The Master Chief Collection. The MCC is bringing back nice nostalgic feelings of playing Halo 3 with my friends 6 years ago. I've had some problems getting into the same matches as my buddy but, otherwise, the game seems to be running alright. And I'm enjoying Halo CE Anniversary which I never had a chance to play on the 360.
Ethan Carter is a very interesting game. It's a 1st person open world narrative driven game in which you play this paranormal detective investigating the case of Ethan Carter at an empty small American town built next to a dam. Anyway at first I thought it was in the same vein as Dear Esther but each area of the game has to piecing together clues and solving small puzzles. Visually it's great and although the puzzles aren't overtly complicated (so far) the game doesn't hold your hand through it creating a greater sense of accomplishment I think. Anyway, I hear it only clocks around 4 or 5 hours, some of the voice acting doesn't feel natural but it's successful for the most part. If you like these narrative driven games I'd recommend giving it a look.
