We may have a new website, but the old favourites remain. WAYP is one of the longest running features here at Push Square, so despite the fancy new framework, we're not changing a damn thing about it. Regular readers should know the drill by now: we reveal our gaming schedule, before handing the microphone to you in the comments section below.

I'm currently London's lawn bowling champion in Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter, proving that there's no end to my talents. I enjoy these games despite the obvious voice acting shortcomings; the first case had an incredible twist, though I'm not yet sure who killed poor Mr. Greystoke.

I absolutely hammered my way through Yakuza 0 to bring you lot a review, but now that it's posted, I'll be revisiting Kamurocho to take in the sights at a more leisurely pace. That means helping Kaz continue to build his real estate empire. It's a lot of fun to see those profits go up and up and up.

If all goes to plan this weekend I'll be taking a break from wrecking gods in Smite in favour of either tearing my shirt off in Yakuza 0 or wetting my pants in Resident Evil 7. Either way, my wardrobe is going to be at serious risk
Jacob Hull, Reviewer
I'm making my way through Tales of Berseria for review right now, so expect that at some point in the near future. Given that it's such a long game, there's very little room to play much else this weekend (not that I really want to, of course), but I might slink off for a couple of hours for the football on Saturday.

I've just finished drying my eyes after completing the main storyline in Final Fantasy XV, so I'll be giving myself a break for a bit before I delve back in to get the Platinum. I'll be getting on with Trails of Cold Steel and picking up where I left off before FFXV came crashing into my life. I was fully immersed in that game for a long time, so hoping I can slip back into it easily and take my mind off of this heartbreak…

Once again, my weekend will be spent in the company of Adam Jensen's perpetually furrowed brow in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I'm definitely nearing the story's conclusion, and once I'm done, I'll probably hop into some bright and breezy multiplayer, such as Overwatch or Rocket League.

A little bit of this a little bit of that is what I will be playing this weekend. I am hoping to tackle Batman: The Telltale Series, LEGO Dimensions, Dead Island: Riptide, Shenmue, and whatever else I can find time for.
That's all from us for another week, but do let us know what you're playing in the comments section below. Are you clearing your backlog ahead of last week's big releases, or diving into Gravity Rush 2? Go forth.

I will play mostly Yakuza 0, first time with the series and I really like it. I will also spend a bit of time with Kratos at Gow of War III remaster.
Should finally finish Rise of the tomb raider and then a few trophies to mop up. Next though, possibly Unravel or a Dear Esther run through. On Vita, a bit of P4G and maybe Gravity Rush.
FFXV and U4. Same games I've been playing since Christmas, same games I'll be playing until they're done. Probably Valentines Day for U4 and Easter for FFXV.
@Melucine Welcome to the world of Yakuza!
I'm off work this weekend, so I wanna get in as many games I can get.
PS4- Street Fighter V, King of Fighters 14, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and the Last of Us.
3DS- Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokemon Moon, and Monster Hunter 4/Generation.
Xbox One- Killer Instinct, Dead or Alive 5 LR, GTA5, and Dead Rising 4.
I won't get to all of those games, but I'll play as much as I can.
Still playing Final Fantasy XV, only 2 trophies to go but leveling up Gladio's skill is a PAIN, it only levels by running around and it's SO slow at increasing, i covered the whole outer road of the map from Hammerhead and back again and it went up a quarter of a bar
it needs patching
other than that i might mess around on DBXV2 and Star Trek Online as well seems as though Skyrim hasn't arrived yet
I just got Batman: The Telltale Series, I've heard good things about the game, so I'm excited to play the game.
Also, as a bit of a throwback, I picked up Zelda: Wind Waker, I never played it before.
@KratosMD nah play FFV, it's a good if underrated FF game
@get2sammyb Thanks! I am seriously thinking ot get the Yakuza 1 remake too later this year, but this time if I pay with paypal, I will write at the note "you know what" to avoid further investigations!
@KratosMD FFV is one of my favourite games of the series, don't pass it!
Not sure if I can play anything since I got eye strain at work for the first time in my life and while I can look at mobile devices okay, looking at tvs are really blurry for me right now.
If I can, I'll probably play song of the deep or check out how horrible the ffxv carnival is haha 😄
Nioh last chance demo, of course! Then back to FFXV before the full game comes out.
Ultra Street Fighter 4, Titanfall 2 and FF X.
Have a great weekend everyone!
@Melucine
@FullbringIchigo Gladio's skill was my last trophy, he seemed to be on level 9 forever and I'll be back on it next week for the carnival.
This weekend I'll be playing some more Fez and I've just discovered the joys of Infamous Second Son which has been sat on my hard drive for some time and it looks great in HDR and 60fps (well sometimes) on the Pro. I've also had a quick go again at Uncharted 4 for a crushing playthrough and it still shocked me how good that game looks
Mass Effect 2. Just landed on the scorching Haestrom to recruit everybody's favourite quarian.
I grabbed Saints Row Re-Elected for $5 off the latest US PSN Flash Sale. I'm going to act a fool playing that.
After a week of completing Day of the Tentacle, Stories Path of Destinies, Color Guardians and Deadly Tower of Monsters..Can someone recommend a new title for my next playthrough?
Want to platinum shantae hgh and maybe playing yakuza 0 when the game arrives tomorrow. Postponing playing gravity rush 2 until finished playing the ps4 remaster. I've got poster, pouch and anime bluray from the gravity rush 2 special edition, not bad
Also just finished downloading nioh demo, I don't like the alpha demo but I want to try this demo.
I just got Forza Horizon 3 so I'll be putting some time on that, I've also being playing a bit of Halo 5 online with some pals.
PS4: Far Cry Primal, Gravity Rush 2
PSVita: Persona 3!!!
Got to finally pick up my copy of Gravity Rush 2 today! I have it with me but I'm working so I won't be able to get stuck into it until tomorrow.
Also hunting for some rare skins in Far Cry Primal.
The MVP of my weekend however is Persona 3 portable on Vita. It's just so good! Is it a visual novel? Is it a a JRPG? I don't know, but I dig it!
I wish I played this when it first released. I'm addicted. I know I'm going to replay this with the other character once I'm done.
Persona 1 was good.
Persona 2 was a bad game with an incredible story.
Persona 3 is greatness!
Wonder how Persona 4 Golden will measure up. P3P is going to be hard to beat.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Persona 4 golden is one of the best RPGs, for me much better than FF VII, can't wait for 5 ^_^
I have the Saturday and Sunday shifts at work this weekend so it won't be a whole lot of gaming. Monday will be my play day. But I only need 8 more Gnome statues on PVZ GW2 and I will try to finish that trophy and maybe work on finishing the challenges in DBX 2
Still MGSV , a week later I've risen from 4% to 5% completion.
@Melucine I'm so hyped for Persona 5 that I'm playing all the games leading up to it.
It's pretty cool to see how the series has evolved.
The first two games were ok->good, but Persona 3, is the first time that I've gone 'this is amazing'. So high hopes for P4G & even more hype for Persona 5!
@carlos82 all that's left for me is that and beat the Adamantoise
Still playing my backlog of games currently...bought a bunch on black friday. Just beat Ghostbusters (which I actually enjoyed and my wife and I enjoyed playing together...still don't know why it got such horrible reviews, because it's still a lot better than some games that got great reviews)...now, moving onto to Lego Jurassic World...then they have a flash sale and I buy and download more!!!! Plus, income tax return period is coming which means, the VR will be in my grips with some more games to add!!!! When will it end!!!! At least, after Horizon Zero Dawn, there's not much else I want until New Hot Shots Golf!
@LobsterJohnson Try The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 or even Brothers A Tale Of Two Sons...those two downloads are pretty good, and Book Of Tales 2 is on sale right now for the flash sale...$5 is a pretty good price. Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 is a point and click adventure, and Brothers is a pretty decent adventure title that can take hours to indulge yourself into...if you're looking at the retail side, I've been indulging myself into No Man's Sky and The Last Guardian.
@Rogue76 Wind Waker is not that bad...my favorite Zelda title...besides the original and Ocarina...is still Link's Awakening. However, I never played the Wii U's version of Wind Waker, I own it on Gamecube, but still loved it, even though I didn't care for the long sails throughout the ocean...that and the cartoony effects was the only downfall to it, but a great game with good animation and colors.
This is a gaming weekend for me! FIFA 17 and Overwatch...then I'll start Sherlock game I bought in the january sales, then I'll play Yakuza 4 on ps3 to open my desire for Yakuza 0!
Also I'll try to play more Watch Dogs 2 and maybe get serious with Dishonoured 2!
So many games xD
Btw, just noticed that Sammy is playing the same Sherlock game... high5
I'll probably get back into Tekken this weekend after a break, but I've also been playing old favorites like Donkey Kong Country, and I've had the urge to hook my Wii back up to play some Mario 64 and Smash.
@JLPick @JLPick Thanks for your reply, just checked the price of Book of Unwritten Tales on UK store and its £24.99, little bit gutted as I really liked the look of that one. I did recently buy Ico & Shadow of Colossus for £5 in the sales so may dive into those before I tackle The Last Guardian.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Are you playing Persona 3 portable? How does it hold up?
Still plowing through Future Tone's endless playlist of joy. Got BG&E and Castlevania SoTN on the Flash Sale and the usual Uncharted 3 mp with the bro.
Wii U:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD - Now that I'm nearing the end, I've become completely focused on this game and nothing else until the end
Finally picked up Doom so may get around to starting that. Also playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy on 3DS.
Titanfall 2 and No Man's Sky.
@AFCC Yh playing Persona 3 Portable. Outside of the dungeons it plays like a visual novel so those scenes hold up very well. It feels like a PS2 game though when in the dungeons, but this is made up for by the tremendous art style and gameplay.
IMO It feels like an old game, but it does so many things great that it feels refreshing.
@LobsterJohnson Sorry...I kind of forgot the flash sales are different in each region...right now, it's $5 in the US. However, when I went to Gamestop over here, it's only $10 used, which is still a good deal for it...not a bad game, and I believe it's available on PC, Mac, PS4, XBONE and Wii U, so it got a lot of attention. Pretty good game though!
Still digging my way through Dragon Quest Builders,such an amazing and addictive game but it certainly feels like I'm coming up to the big showdown now though..
Cleared and received the plat for Tower of Monsters which I had alot of fun with.Can't complain about PS Plus with games like that and talking of plus,I will be doing more of Day Of The Tentacle,another fun game...now if you will excuse me I'm going to go use my skill and intelligence to go play it.....<looks up online walkthrough>..
Played some Alienation today. Might play some more tomorrow and maybe some FF15 as well.
I finally finished Final Fantasy XV earlier. I only need to defeat the adamantoise and get the flying car for the platinum but I might leave that for a bit. I enjoyed the game a lot - especially the battle system and exploring. Some of the boss battles are great spectacles. My only real criticism is that the story seems a bit patched together and certain things "just happen" with not enough explanation.
I might start Uncharted 4 tomorrow. I have a lot of games from Christmas still to play.
Night last chance and finish of side quests in gravity rush 2
@Fight_Teza_Fight I quite like Persona 4, so much that I have P5 pre ordered and I'm hyped AF for that...So maybe I'll give P3 a try!
Thanks mate
Been trying to finish of Rise of the Tomb Raider, should finish it tomorrow after work, might play some COD:IF too which I've gotten back into playing
Busy with 2nd playthrough of Mafia 3. Trying to rush-kill everything as that's the last trophies I need, and 1 other trophy but it might be spoiler material ^^.
Though, gotta add that the more I play it, the more I want to finish it. Bought it because I liked the Godfather games on PS2 and wanted to have another Mafia game to relive those memories, sort of. Sadly, M3 doesn't feel right in a lot of aspects. Hence, why I want to get it done asap.
@Wazeddie22 Tower of Monsters was really good fun, if you are looking for a trophy guide for day of the tentacle. I suggest you check out this link :

Platinum will be yours in about 2 hours. Or you could just play it properly, the choice is yours.
@mookysam I have never enjoyed the FF series and that is mainly down to the combat. What is different about FFXV combat system? As I really do like the look of this one and would love to give it a go.
I Finally finished the story in World of Final Fantasy and Started Gravity Rush 2 late last night. Glad to be back in Kat's world again. EVENTUALLY I'll get back to TLG hopefully before Horizon launches.
Im a little surprised more of us here arent playing GR2, curious. ...
I beat Hyper Light Drifter on NG+, thinking about a no death run on standard but I need to do 800 warps in a row first which is basically impossible :/ also a bit of Skyrim
I've been playing Star Wars Bounty Hunter and Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
@LobsterJohnson Much appreciated! Plat in two hours?I'm currently four hours with less than half lol I'm trying to play the game without any help but come on,some of these puzzles I'd never even think of without a guide...Great game though
Bought Adr1ft and played it, didn't really like it so far. Bought Overcooked and liking it, but want to save it for multiplayer madness. Picked up Stories again and actually liking it - especially the combat feels simple, yet good.
I finally bought Uncharted 4 after having a few shipping problems with Amazon delivering but had it in my hands by Friday night & have been playing it ever since. I believe I am close to the end but can't really tell because it's much longer than usual Uncharted games. I have also been putting time into the multiplayer system. I hope to finish the story by the ending of the weekend. I will most likely play the story an additional 2 times in order to Platinum the game seeing as I need to finish the story in under 6 hours and I also need to play the Crushing mode for that trophy.
@JLPick Sounds like you have many unfinished games.
DQ8!
Mafia 3 - it's nice and all but its all a bit repetitive
Geometry Wars 3 - still my go to 10 minutes blast game
Just finished playing Inside and it is one of the best games a played in a while. Can't wait for Playdeads next game! Also, playing some Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. Really want finish the story for that one and still finishing Child of Light on Vita.
@iSillyBoiJudas Too many and too little time. Kids and wife and dogs take most of my time (as well as work)...wish I had a few days to just be lazy for once, but I never get that time it seems, and when I do feel like sitting down and relaxing...for some reason, I never know what to play and end up doing something else...it's always the same old...plus, I've been getting back into playing my old systems (Atari, NES, Gamecube and PS2) again for some reason!!!!
