Wow, it's a milestone issue, and we've only just realised it! Happy 400th edition of WAYP! This weekly series started life all the way back in March 2013, when this author was playing Lumines on PS Vita. Other popular games at the time included Far Cry 3 and Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires. Fascinatingly, Robert Ramsey and I are the only two remaining staff members from that inaugural post. You can read the first ever issue through here.
Sammy Barker, Editor
I'm actually a little busy at the moment, tackling two titles for review. I feel like I've put a lot of hours into Riders Republic now, but I still need another weekend on public servers before bringing you my verdict. I'll be breaking up the cycling with Bassmaster Fishing 2022, a game which only I would volunteer to review.
Liam Croft, Assistant Editor
In between attending and watching football matches, I'll be starting Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One with some nice and early review code.
Jamie O'Neill, Reviewer
In honour of Issue 400 of WAYP landing on the Halloween weekend, I'll aim to play 400 minutes of Panorama Cotton — which is a previously Japanese only Space Harrier-esque Mega Drive game, but with a witch on a broomstick instead of a flying blonde dude with a portable jet propelling laser canon.
A milestone instalment, then, but a short and sweet one from an editorial perspective. Of course, you wouldn't want to miss the 400th issue, would you? Get involved in the comments section below.

Gonna have to be some Resident Evil, its the perfect weekend for it!
Blitzing Guardians Of The Galaxy and its great fun so far. Stunning looking too with some great combat and skill options
Also trying to master speed runs on the superlative Deathloop and failing miserably ha ha
Have a great weekend guys ❤
Dirt 5 and Steep. Dirt 5 is pure arcade fun and Steep I love to dip into
@Luigia loving Dirt 5 too and love how challenging it is!
Switch: Metroid Dread. I have developed such a love hate relationsship with this game. I feel so accomplished whenever I mamage to go further but I also havent rage quitted this much in my life I think.
Series S: Im starting Forgotten City this weekend. Really looking forward to it!
PS5: Death Stranding DC. This might be my favourite game of all time which is weird because its also a game I dont recommend to anybody.
Recently finished: The campaign in Back4Blood. A fun game but I dont see myself continue playing it.
Going to finish off Guardians of the Galaxy when I finish work, then it’s onto Mass Effect: Andromeda.
I started playing jedi fallen order on ultimate game pass on the XSX and it’s really fun so far.
Also bits of animal crossing here and there in preparation for the update.
And Finally I started playing ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 recently.
Haven't decided. I may just use the PS5 to watch football.
Trying to get the ceramic coins in Demon's Souls.
I'm not sure if it's worth the effort though. I might just switch back to Ghost of Tsushima Legends and do the raids.
Was contemplating buying guardians of the galaxy but I’m not so sure about the combat. The (first world) problem if I don’t is that the next big budget ps5 release I’d be interested in won’t be until February next year, and I haven’t bought a ps5 game in a little while, it’s just kind of sitting there waiting. Hopefully something like stray or little devil inside launches this year.

@playstation1995 Days gone is a beast!
Just completed far cry 6. Even tho I enjoyed it alot- I actually preferred far cry 5. The story for 6 didn’t really have me interested in it. Even tho 5 has a weird story, I actually preferred that. Very fun game to play tho. Will be playing some more cobra Kai, whilst waiting for the new cod game to come out.
Far cry 6 and watching The contender on fight pass from the start gearing up to watching the big UFC PPV
Gonna try and finish FF7 Remake but chapter 17 really slowed the pace down to a near halt so haven't played it for a couple days. Probably try and get on the Dreams VR as I only managed to get through 1 of the Ghost Trains. Also will log in to Genshin Impact briefly. Oh and happy gaming! Have fun and be happy
@kingbreww. It is a very good game.and deacon st john is a really good protagonist.i knew days gone was a good game.but its really goid.its addictive.the wolves are scarier sometimes. More than the zombies.when all the zombies are after you.you better be like queens new york hip hop groups the beatnuts and whatch out now.days gone is a 9 out of 10 for me.word up son
NeXomon & NeXomon: Extinction both on PS4, NeXomon feels like a breath of fresh air after playing Pokemon for all these years and noticing Game Freak's decline in creativity. Also decided to replay through Mario Odyssey for the 3rd time.
playing a bunch of games this weekend across all systems.
Ps4 Life is Strange True Colors. And Kena Bridge of Spirits
Xbox 1: Far Cry 6 And Guardians of the Galaxy
Switch: Metroid Dread & Ender lilies
@lolwhatno. Haha.days gone actually got really good from the beginning.its a very good game. A 9 out of 10.i play days gone for more than 10 hours. not one bugs.its already a favorite of mine.the weapon.story.gameplay.graphics are top notch.and yes borderlands 2 is another one of my favorite.one of the best fps ever.and buy darkest dungeon best indie games ever.word up son
kinda envy liam already playing sherlock.
i realy want that game.
I'm pretty deep into Yakuza Kiwami 2 so it'll be more of that on PS4 and I finally took the plunge with Cyberpunk 2077 on Series S and... I love it! I'm around 15 hours in and it has me completely hooked. Night City is a fantastic playground to just tool around in.
Gunplay is kinda meh but as a Deus Ex nut I'm used to that and I'm leaning heavily into hacks, stealth and choking fools out which is a blast. Fun stuff and absolutely bug/glitch free so far. Happy days! Have a good weekend all!
Some Monkey Ball and Tetris 99 on Switch.
Next weekend will be my weekend. 3 days off with Judgment and Call of Duty Vanguard.
Hardly using my free time right now to finish Judgment, in chapter 7 right now. I wanna start Lost Judgment after that
Got a big UFC fight card to watch in a few hours, but if I have time to play this weekend I’ll be continuing my journey in the incredible The Last of Us: Part II, and maybe a little Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition on the side.
Happy gaming everyone.
Guardians otG
Dusk (Switch, amazing port, for a fps on console it's god tier)
Demon Slayer
Some Pumpkin Jack for holiday
Being a master of stealth in Metal Gear Solid V.
By which I mean hiding in a cardboard box, before shooting someone and running away.
Not too sure what to play starting to get a little bored of tales of arise it's a good game but it's just talking every few minutes, just feels a little too much stop start. Did put beat saber on last night for the update and it was great fun. So yea might just play some poker and watch some football.
Far Cry 6, need to get more guerilla leaders, mop up more side missions, and maybe move on with the story. I'm not in a hurry to leave Yara.
Well in the spirit of the season I'll be playing:
Slayaway Camp: Butchers Cut. Just finished 4th movie - will probably get round to the next couple.
Death Road to Canada. Try see how far I can get, probably not too far before the zombie hordes descend.
Darkest Dungeon. Only just started but beginning to learn it's intricacies.
And maybe get started in the Darkwood if I find the time.
Happy gaming, have a good weekend and a haunting halloween for anyone into that kind of thing.
Finished Resi 7 during the week (good game, lots of jump scares and some challenging/frustrating boss battles) so stated a new game last night.
It's time to finish the trilogy, which means ME 3. Action-packed opening and I'm determined to end the Reaper threat once and for all!
Been bouncing off of AC Valhalla since I started it a number of weeks ago. It's alright, no Odyssey but male Eivor is a good character. I do enjoy the occasional round or three of Orlog, better than Gwent imo.
Enjoy your weekend, folks!
I am about to complete Final Fantasy 7R. Can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about with regard to the ending. It’s been a great game so far.
Then it’ll be Resident Evil 3 Remake. I’m ready to be properly spooked by lots of creepy monsters.
Well done for the 400th edition 🎉🎉
Not a lot of gaming time for me this weekend but I am still plugging away at and thoroughly enjoying Pillars of Eternity 2. 65 hours, feel like I am not even half way yet!
I’m going to playing a lot of grand theft auto chinatown wars on the PlayStation TV and maybe a little zombie army 4 on the ps5.
Finished the main story of AC brotherhood, now I am left with the task of trying not to cry in frustration for the tank mission for 100% sync. Wish me luck 😂😭🍀
Genshin impact as always!
Some more Tales of Arise and some old Sega classics on the Switch.
Trails of Cold Steel 2
Gloomhaven (Steam)
Dead Space. Halloween and all that.
JRPG's for me, Voice of Cards on PS4, Persona 4 Golden on PC, have picked up the Final Fantasy pixel remaster bundle on PC, will be trying that out.
Riders Republic for me a game I bought without any reviews.....normally I wait for the reviews as some sort of guide as to whether or not to buy. No regrets I think its fab so much to see and do and plays really well. 🙂🙂. Happy gaming to all.
I completed the season pass weeks ago… so why is it Fall Guys!
I tell you why, it’s for the falloween pumpkin skin!
Along with my first run of RE Village it’s a spooky weekend
@Cyrus29 how is Cobra Kai, it’s looks really bad on PS store, 😅 but I love the show
Finishing up Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on PS5 and then back to Back4Blood on XBSX.
I picked up Guardians of the Galaxy and I'm a little mixed on it. I love the writing and the environments, but the movement and animations feel atrocious.
I'm still pretty early in though, so we'll see if my feelings change.
Im waiting for the last insurgent on far cry 6 (ridiculous) so ive started up New dawn and the difference is insane. I dont know if i can re adjust.
Mostly Fortnite this week. So mostly hiding in bushes to surprise-attack unsuspecting players 😁
I can’t build a 12-storey fortress in a matter of seconds ...so I wait ...like a lioness in the long grass of the African plains 😁
Also, Just bought Pumpkin Jack in the sale - looking forward to that.
To get in the Halloween spirit I started Medievil from Ps Now. Got Now as part of the £24.99 deal which is great value, good few games on it I've been meaning to get. Also been chipping away at Vahalla since Xmas so gona try get through a good chunk of that.
@playstation1995 it’s definitely one of my favourite games of all time
Switch - More Metroid Dread and also dusting off The Outer Worlds!
PC - Gmod with friends!
Have a good weekend everyone.
Switch - Evil Tonight
Ps5 - Visage
Xbox - Valhalla, resident evil 2
Got Deathloop on PS5, Guardians for XSX and Metroid Dread for Switch. Only managed 20 minutes on Guardians so far, but hope to make a start on Deathloop on Sunday
Been switching between Tales of Arise and Trails of Cold Steel 1 on PS5. Arise is good, about 25 hours in now, but I really don't feel the need to rush through it. If I make it this far into a game normally it means I want to see it though to the end ASAP. I will definitely finish it as it's a good game. It's just not a great game.
I also picked up a Series S this week. My first Xbox since the 360. I've been somewhat distracted by Game Pass. Unbelievable deal.
Persona 5 Royal, mopping up trophies in Far Cry 6 and a bit of Red Dead Online.
Still Far Cry 6, cleaning up going for the plat before I finish off the main campaign.
Planning on finishing up a few different games this weekend!
Have a happy weekend of gaming, everyone!
I already finished guardians of the galaxy apparently... I didn't expect it to be such a small game and I'm also almost 80% with trophies so I'm omw to platinum it.
I'm currently replaying the Dark Pictures Anthology games, while trying (and failing) to keep everyone alive. Not easy.
I'm on chapter 5 of guardians so I'm gonna leave it for a bit and wait for that ray tracing patch ,really great game that just plopped out of nowhere really....in the meantime I've got far cry 6 which is also great and the best since 3 in my opinion, im 50hrs into tales of arise so gonna play some more of that I think and ill finish off the weekend with a nice single malt and death stranding dc which reminds me of holidays in Wales ,beautiful game ,beautiful country.
Guardians of the Galaxy. Even with good reviews I kinda went in not expecting much. I have to say I'm really enjoying it. The dialog is top notch.
Hooked on Demons Souls all over again.
Completed it at launch but have had the urge to play through again on Ng+ and loving it despite the difficultly being even higher.
Fantastic game.
@AgentMantis
Go Pack go!
Brilliant win at the Cardinals on Thursday night.
I’m a huge fan and was up until 4:30am watching it (live in England) but it was worth it.
Could this be our season again 🤞
I'm playing guardians of the galaxy, it's really enjoyable so far, then I'll play project zero: the maiden of black water.
Finally getting around to A Plague Tale on ps5. Did 6 chapters yesterday, really fun game.
@Hurblyburbly feels like 2010..........hmmm
Just some Guilty Gear Strive.
Fatal frame 5 and maybe 4
@playstation1995 I'll add to the Days Gone Love.Gotta admit I wasn't too impressed when I first started it but by the time id finished it,it had become my GOTY!it sucks a sequel will never come
PS Nightmare on Elm Street (NOT remake) and Halloween are awesome!
I finished Nier Automata before it leaves PlayStation Now...but now I'm not sure what to play next. I bought Mario Party but that's really only when the family is over. I guess I could get back to Soul Nomad back on the ol PS2. Might just wind up watching YouTube forever though.
I'll be spending A LOT of time on Riders Republic which after playing the beta I couldn't help but buy the digital version yesterday rather than add it to my birthday list..absolutely loving it!
Tales Of Arise is also on the agenda as it is every day
Project Zero tonight and also Voice of Cards on Switch.
Enjoy your weekend all!
@hurblyburbly hopefully so! I'm in England as well, prime time games are a killer.
Diablo 2 and back 4 blood both ps5 and my mate is also about to jump in back 4 blood on his brand new spanky ps5..have a good weekend folks..🤘
@Wazeddie22. Yeah its a amazing game.word up son
@Wazeddie22. I believe Days gone sequel is coming.its just that bend studio is making a new ip.i believe its going to be a good game also.word up son
Finished Guardians of the Galaxy yesterday and got the Platinum and though I loved a lot about the game it was also oddly forgettable and I felt my mind wandering more as I neared the end. Superb soundtrack though despite the same tunes frequently kicking in during fights and not playing long enough. Plus the linearity of the levels would have been better with more emphasis on puzzles and exploration …
… so with very little to play for now I’m having a wonderfully relaxed journey with the delightful Roki and watching loads of movies for Halloween. Highly recommend anyone reading to watch Ben Wheatley’s “In The Earth”, a superb film with excellent performances, direction and soundtrack. Easily my favourite film of the year though most modern stuff is ***** anyway!
Days Gone. Been playing for months and it keeps me coming back. Love the weather, scenery, and sound. The story has been working for me as well. None of the newer releases interest me.
Metroid dread for me, my days its good. Its only my second metroidvania (my first was hollow knight and I loved it, though I thought it was brutal hard in parts) and first metroid game. The movement and combat are so good! Right there with psychonauts 2 as my favourite game of the year so far
@NateGoesLive it’s not bad, but then it’s not great either😀I would say if your a fan of the show(which I am) you’ll like it, mostly. Character movements are abit stiff, graphics are cool, sound is good, they have a few of the actors doing the voices for their characters in the game. I only got it cause I managed to pick it up from Argos for £10. For that I’m glad that I payed that much for it, anything more I prob wouldn’t. As long as your not expecting it to play like streets of rage 4, it’s ok to play. Also there’s about 28 missions on it. Not sure if I’d be bothered to play it all the way through, but as I’m waiting for the new cod to come out-I don’t want to start playing a long game now. I’m not sure how much it is on the ps store. But if it’s over £15, I’d wait till the price drops mate.
@Wsritucci37
Let’s hope so mate
Replaying Alien Isolation as was on sale over on the Switch. Pre ordered and first played it back on PS3 (still have my nice steel book version). Looks great on Switch Lite and good to play with headphones.
Also might play some Super Castlevania IV as I like to play through the game around Halloween.
Slowly dying inside watching my nephew play Fortnite on my PS5. It was bad enough that he kept leaving the screening of Dune (excellent movie) to check football scores little 🤬!
Thanks to PS staff and commenters for all the years of great games discussion!
I am dipping into the olde backlog and playing Rebel Galaxy: Outlaw. It is a really fun game! Very good arcade like space dogfighting.
I liked a lot of things about the first Rebel Galaxy, but the grind to build up your ship burned me out after a while and I didn’t finish it. It isn’t bothering me this time-I think I just like piloting a fighter in this game rather than a capital type ship in the last one. And the vibe I liked so much from the first one is still there. Game is a gem.
@Cyrus29 appreciate the lengthy reply pal. I’ve seen it on sale a lot, but it’s currently £34.99
I have added it to the ever growing wish list, may pick it up when next it’s on sale
I’ll finally be finishing Resident Evil 7. I got the bug to go back to it after playing the RE Village Demo. I’m hooked now. Have a great weekend!
@NateGoesLive no worrys. I’m shocked that it’s priced at £34.99. Ridiculous pricing. It’s only because it has the name cobra Kai. Best to wait, hopefully you can get it on a good price on sale👍🏻
@playstation1995 I'll take your word for it,gives me something to look forward too.That game NEEDS a sequel.
Congratulations to Push Square upon reaching Issue 400 of WAYP!
I think it's great to have a regular feature like this for Push Square's team and community to share their gaming plans each weekend.
I was writing for Push Square in 2013, although I wish I'd taken part in the very first issue now, because checking out the link above brings back memories of the team from eight years ago.
My first WAYP contribution was for What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eight in June 2013, where I discussed reviewing PS3 Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, and I lamented about how my SEGA Saturn version of the Dungeons & Dragons Collection was stolen – something that still irks me to this day.
My gaming habits don't change much anyway, because I've been playing Chronicles of Mystara in 2021 too.
Sending 400 shouts of "hooray" to Push Square, and to its community of PlayStation gamers!
Because it's Halloween I'm playing spooky games. Just started the Project Zero "remaster". Average remaster attempt, game still holds up tho.
Dragon Quest 11 on switch and Mass Effect 1 on ps4.
Bloodstained tomorrow night.
Alas I'm away for the weekend, so nothing at all. Feeling the withdrawal pangs already 😉
Resident Evil 2 (N64) - Closing in on William Burkin, time for the final showdown!
Mahjong by Microsoft (Droid) - Daily Challenges and also working on various puzzle packs.
Burn the Rope (Windows Phone) - Just starting on this.
I started Nier Replicant a few nights ago and plan on continuing it.
1, Guardians of the Galaxy
2. Sword and fairy 7
Finally tucking into Ghost of Tsushima and loving it so far!
nothing until GTA trilogy remastered!
I usually don't participate in WAYPs in the comments, but since this time is such a special occasion I think I must.
I am playing The Outer Worlds. Bought on a PS Store sale to have something to play until Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy launches, now I am taking a time a finish it before starting GotG.
I really, REALLY have considered picking up Guardians this weekend. I really shouldn't, I can't really afford it with the trip I'm taking to Indianapolis next weekend to see GWAR, Napalm Death, & eyehategod in concert. But I really want to play it lol.
I've been trying to get into the Halloween mood with games this weekend but almost all my gaming time has been devoted to The Witcher 3, all my gaming time period has been with it. It is SOOOOOOO good and quite fits the Halloween theme. So much to do, so much gear to get, and the story is wonderful & engaging. I played a bunch of this on Switch but I picked this up on the PS Store, the complete version for like 8 bucks. Best deal I've ever gotten in gaming lol. I've just finished the quest in the garden with Yen and I'm sure I'll stay up until Sunday morning playing.
I really would like to play some Resident Evil 2 Remake & maybe finish Leon's campaign, play some more RE7 in VR, maybe play some more Bloodstained, or finally make some progress in SOTN but I'll need a guide for SOTN, I always give up whenever I get stuck or die, then have to start over from scratch. Besides those, I may finally play Arkham Knight... Only Arkham Game I've never played after beating both Asylum & City back on PS3. I have both the remasters on PS4 & have played through about half of Asylum again but idk if I have the patience to play through them both again before playing Knight, so I may jump into it.
Happy Halloween to you all!
I completed Miles Morales this weekend. Continuing with TLOU2 . and to keep up with theme this weekend been continuing with Little Nightmare and Until Dawn.
.
Metroid dread demo, it's pretty good, the emmi are scary lol.
Black Widow: Recharged and Castlevania Advanced Collection (Circle of the Moon)
I've returned to playing Kena: Bridge of Spirits, finally unlocked the Spirit Bomb ability.
Just cleaned up trophies to get the platinum in AC Odyssey. Now running at 60 FPS I prefer that game over Valhalla which I also platinumed. Now ending the weekend with some Pumpkin Jack.
Tales of Arise. Awesome RPG.
