I keep hoping that Castlevania LoS is not a GoW clone everyone says it is, because if that's true, I made worst purchase possible.
If you don't like GOW then stay away from Castlevania.
I found the game to be pretty sloppy in its execution.
The golem boss battles are the worst.
There are several games, and more coming all the time, where it simply works just by plugging it in and playing.
However for best use and to get everything, including use of touch pad (good for small mouse movements in menus and the like), some simple to do work is needed. http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper
Doesn't take long, easy to do, and has since become my favourite gamepad for PC gaming.

As I say I my Steam review for Deadlight:
"Deadlight is a flawed game that has some frustrations you'll have to overcome to win. Some sections, particularly in the later part of the game, are frustrating trial-and-error affairs. The story is also rather plain and predictable. But it's not a bad game, it has some pretty fluid mechanics and some rather smart level design often, with a few cool collectibles in little minigames you can collect and diary pages that are interesting enough. The environments look pretty, the music is nice... It feels like it holds itself back, though its hard to explain. But I don't regret playing it, I did in fact enjoy it. Catch it on a sale, and if the idea of a 2D Zombie game is interesting to you, I'll recommend it. But it has its rough patches of frustrations, some glitches, and sometimes feeling not very inspired."

kafiend posted some impressions yesterday that may be of interest to you if you're one of the people who has objections with always needing to be online to play a single-player game

What is the best Lego game if I have never played one before?
The game seems to have become a lot better once I got past chapter 1. Also slightly harder, button smashing no longer works at all. Definitely recommended.
Eurojank of the highest order. Take that as you will (I enjoyed 2, jank and all)
And it's coming to PC day one.
I think Konami likes us, but needs a couple more dates to profess their love.

On Remember Me, it at least has a very good soundtrack. It's composed by A guy named Oliver, who did the music for Obscure 1 & 2 and Alone in the Dark 5, who is an amazing composer who can't seem to get attached to anything but B-Game projects. Maybe he just like B-Tier projects?
Can hear the Remember Me OST here: http://youtu.be/V_ulXoLDnms

Of that list? Batman 2. A fun little co-op game that doesn't overstay it's welcome, works as a really funny parody of Batman, and also has some unlockables to add depth even if the platforming and difficulty don't match up.

LotR or Batman 2.

Two Worlds 1 is pretty bad, 2 is decent but quite Janky. For 4$ you can't go wrong but don't expect Skyim or anything.
Which is better, objectively? They're LEGO games, you only really ever need one.
This is from someone who found the LEGO Movie trailer kinda cute.

Tempting, this one.
I played the first one for about 10 hours, which is more than I play most games.
It's not a great game but has some positives... I like the world design (very hilly) and there were some pretty spots to see.
Some people say the second game is much better but I haven't played it yet.
Thanks! That's good news.
I don't like GoW combat and I hate boss fights, if these can be called fights at all
Star Wars. I don't even like Star Wars (I know...) and those games were amazing. Especially co-op.
I'm currently playing LOTR and it's really good so far though.

The first one I did complete and got some amount of enjoyment from it, but it's rather flawed.
I enjoyed what I played of Two(Put a good 20 hours odd into it?) up until getting to a chapter which I apparently was under levelled for. Large improvement over the first one, though not perfect.
hopes killed. Well, at least now I know, I don't need to play it.
Of the licensed games by TT Games?
LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars in terms of variety of things to do.
LEGO Lord Of The Rings for adaptation of movies.
LEGO Marvel Superheroes or LEGO Batman 2 if you want to play as multiple iconic characters.
The above are on Steam.
Non-licensed by TT Games (TT Fusion actually, an English company). LEGO City Undercover on Wii U for original story and open world. Based on a LEGO toy line, but no knowledge is needed on that front.
Overall LEGO games? LEGO Island if you actually want a digital game where you play, customise, and change LEGO around. Will have to track down an old copy of that.
Thank god too. The demo for 2 ran well enough on PS3 and was waaaay better than 1's performance, but I really want to start leaving that system behind. Hopefully the PC version is as good as the first game's, even if it was barebones.
Marvel. Of the ones I mentioned probably Batman 2 or LOTR.

Is there a way to remove the chromatic aberration around the text in Grid 2? I really like the demo from what I have played, but the text annoys me.
Yeah. The consensus is that Agarest is shit and everyone's hoping Ghostlight can port a better Japanese RPG next time.
Risk of Rain.
EDIT: Nihilumbra was $2 from GMG a few days ago. Oh, well. :|

I'm so excited to play all my new games. Too bad I can't this week. Gf's family is visiting for the holidays so no vidya gaems for me. But I did take the time to download Nexus Mod Manager and BOSS and a few mods for Skyrim. I don't really understand how BOSS works... It just opens a Firefox tab and says some shit about my mods. Does it actively do anything?

They're completely different types and genres of game.
Risk Of Rain is more immediately fun, though. Agarest is a bit
