Is it hot enough for you? With the World Cup in full swing, it’s a good opportunity to melt in front of some football this weekend – but maybe not all of you are so keen on the drama in Russia. Either way, you’re going to want to avoid that burning beacon in the sky, so let us know what you’re playing in the comments section below.

I have too many games for my own good right now. This weekend, I’ll be playing a mix of Lumines Remastered and Hitman, two titles I’m really enjoying. I’ll also need to get cracking on my review for this summer’s juiciest game, All-Star Fruit Racing.
Gabriella Petty, Reviewer
Still plugging away at Assassins Creed II and will continue to do so throughout the weekend. It’s pretty cool revisiting games you’ve played from previous years before; I feel oddly sentimental about it. If I finish that I may move onto Assassins: Creed Brotherhood or try and finish up on The Witcher III.

Given how disgustingly hot it's supposed to be this weekend, I think I'm gonna stay locked inside and maybe whittle away at some of my backlog. I've built up quite a selection of PlayStation VR titles to plunge into and I haven't used my headset in some time. This might be the perfect time to do that.

The summer drought continues. I'll be digging deep into my backlog this weekend with the likes of Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments when the football isn't on. I also may have to play on my "other" console because I can't pass up the opportunity to play Hollow Knight.

I'm currently 22 races into a 48 course on Mario Kart 8. I've also been playing BioShock and Far Cry 3: Classic Edition.

With the weather hitting triple digits there's no better reason then to stay indoors and checking out the new Call of Duty: WWII DLC pack on PS4 along with some Fallout Shelter on that "other" console and a bit of Sunset Overdrive on Xbox One.

Liberte. Egalite. Fraternite. Mbappé.
@PS_Nation Whey! Great game, wasn't it? France looking really strong. I enjoyed Pogba's performance, too.
Great win for france playa.lets get that world cup championship trophy.word up son.
Im playaing devil may cry hd collection now.and tomorrow saints row the third .word up son
I'm going to play Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and hold out hope that the PS4 collection goes on sale soon.
Maybe I can play something tomorrow, not home today...
Pray for Portugal 🙏
Despite not really having the time for it I got Hollow Knight this morning on the Switch, played it for an hour or so and beat the first boss.
It seems good!
And yeah, France V Argentina was a good watch.
@get2sammyb Best game of the World Cup (also there was Portugal X Spain). Mbappé did great and you’re right about Pogba.
Di Maria unleashed a great goal and then
Pavard
The Pavard ball was probably just floating due to the Magnus effect.
Argentina don’t have a great defence. And why Agassi left Dybala on the bench?
Great match!
Persona 5, Street Fighter V, Anniversary Collection, and Dragon Crown for PS4.
@PS_Nation Sampaoli is probably the worst coach ever in a World Cup
@AFCC Mascherano was choosing who was going to play. It’s a complete mess.
Playing gravity rush remastered and gravity rush 2, man the menu in gr2 is nice, it's really colourful and nicely designed.
I hope sony extend the server shutdown for gr2, I want to participate in treasure hunt
Tales of Zestiria, i decided to try and finish the ones in my backlog before Vesperia comes out
On my ps4 I'll be playing HITMAN and RS6, while on pc I'm replaying after many years the great RTS that is Company of Heroes.
Playing through the stories in battlefield 1 and trying a bit if multiplayer. It’s not clicking yet, think it’s because I can’t find a gun I like. I need an automatic rifle or sub that has relatively good recoil. Not sure if it’s the world war 1 setting but I found plenty of decent guns in battlefield 4. So I could at least be competitive this late into the game.
Splatoon 2 and Night in the Woods. Might also play some Life is Strange.
I'm away this weekend, so no PS4 for me. Got other things to do, so I'll just play a little bit of Bravely Default and Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX.
It’ll be a mixture of Smite, ESO, R6: Siege and getting into For Honor. Also also be dabbling in Pillars of Eternity in an attempt to clear some backlog
I'll play some Hitman after the game has been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long and I'll keep playing Brutal Doom once in a while.
I hope the France v Argentina game was a sign of things to come in the last 16. Twas a great game.
Blimey, it's hot isn't it? I'll be keeping cool watching the rest of the matches, some Austrian F1 and making $ in GTA Online in preparation for the up and coming nightclub scene update.
The sun is amazing. Time to crank out some seasonal gaming and play Anna Kournikovas smash court tennis.
Also football!
I can't really be bothered to do anything other than melt at the moment, so I'm just relaxing with Elite Dangerous.
Just platinumed GoW , my very first platinum 👌🏾getting back into Monster Hunter .
@Enuo check GameStop...$20 new for each collection! I just picked both up last week!
It's too darn hot. Been away for the past week and a bit so am getting back into my games. Taking breaks from them is a little discombobulating as I always forget what I was doing.
So, aside from the humidity and pollen pissing me off I've been playing God of War and beating valkyries. Tomorrow is my regular handheld day so I'll be carrying on with the myriad of games I have in circulation. Trails in the Sky SC; Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky and Chibi-Robo.
Apart from Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 on Ps4 it's all about the Switch again as I continue my Donkey Kong Adventure add on to Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle,attempt to make some friends and build a farm in Stardew Valley and wade through a gem of a rpg Xenoblade Chronicles 2.All brilliant games.
Also bought a copy Of YS VIII on Switch..I couldn't resist!I know it's not supposed to be as good a version as the PS4 but...well,portability.
@oatmealwarrior92 Congrats! I still haven't got the plat for GoW, I need to do that.
Doom, I got this game for less than $10 good deal. Awesome game. Probably start Okami again, I never beat it and I really really love that game. It's in my personal top 10 games.
@oatmealwarrior92 Nice!Impressive for your first Plat..fantastic game.I think I've given up on the platinum for that game,I can't even kill ONE Valkyrie!lol
Mostly Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Sonic Generations. I might also play Splatoon 2 a little because there's a new map coming out today.
Trying not to get my butt kicked too badly in Fighting EX Layer lol...posted my impressions in a new OT forum post:
https://www.pushsquare.com/forums/ps4/fighting_ex_layer_ot
With both God of War and Detroit: Become Human completed, time to start clearing the backlog. First up? Yakuza 6.
Currently plodding my way through prey, love it so far and can't wait to do new game plus. Might also head back to ac revelations tomorrow for the quest for platinum.
@KratosMD it was kind of the art style putting me off a little bit, not sure why exactly. Actually quite like it now I'm playing it though.
Smashing through Warframe, inbetween bouts of micro-management on Fallout Shelter.
Looking for forward to making some negative backlog regress this weekend
I’m working through Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture and about to start Yakuza 0. Might also work on Persona 5 or Trails of Cold Steel, depending on mood. I also may mix in Before the Storm or Walking Dead 3, if not this weekend, then on July 4th since we get a national holiday so it will be like a weekend in the middle of the week!
Just finished Celeste, amazing game! Next I'll continue my quest(s) in Ni no kuni II.
I returned to Mad Max. I kind of wish I didn't. I need to play something I enjoy.
Playing a bit of Persona 4 Golden, maybe I'll pick up either Mass Effect 2 or Oblivion, whatever I'll feel like playing. Maybe even Ys VIII, I bought it but didn't try it yet, it seems really good (Vita version tho).
Then finishing the weekend by watching the Croatia v Denmark match. I hope Croatia will win, they are in really good form this year.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and the Donkey Kong Adventure expansion for Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. Both on the Nintendo Switch.
I got fans, I got cold beer, and I got me the mega drive collection. Currently enjoying streets of rage, sonic 2 and Gain Ground- which I'd written off for over a decade as "a bit Ertha Kitt" but is actually ace once you get the feel for it. Apart from that I'm playing nioh and getting free pizza from the best pizza place I've ever heard of. Seriously. I gave them a five star review and they were so happy they gave me free pizza. Not even kidding, this is one of the best weekends of my life.
No gaming this week , arrived in France yesterday for a weeks holiday. Had a fantastic time today and saw them beat Argentina . Vive la France.
@PS_Nation francecwas terrific.vive lafrance.un belle victoire mon ami.word up son
@MinerWilly vive la france.lets get that championship.word up son
Daughters birthday today so not much time to game. However I am addicted to Metroid Zero Mission on my newly purchased Gameboy advance. So that and that and that!
Just finished God of war a few days ago. And after finishing it I must say that I am extremely dissapointed and bummed. And not because I disliked it, in fact it may be the greatest single player PS4 game I've ever played. I'm bummed because I beat it and don't have the attention span (for any game) to go back and play it again. Unbelievable game. Definitely a goty contender. I enjoyed the story more than H:ZD and that's saying a lot!
Anyway I just picked up a cheap copy of resident evil origins. Gonna play 1, (never cared for 0) and see how the remake is. This will hopefully keep me content for a while as I (impatiently) wait for the re2 remake next year!
@kyleforrester87 I also picked up divinity original sin, do I remember u saying this is a good game? I haven't started it yet but just wondering how it is
The Division for me at the moment and enjoying the game again
Just some more Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for me.
@ellsworth004 yeah I loved it, played it any chance I could and cleared it within a month. A bit obtuse at times but all part of its charm. Let me know if you enjoy it!
Lots of racing this weekend on TV: MotoGP, Formula 1, and more. So my gaming time is more limited.
It's all about Indie games for me: Ikaruga, Earth Atlantis, Horizon Chase Turbo, Swords of Ditto, Yoku's Island Express, and a few others I can fit in.
RIP Portugal
Uruguay plays so badly that for the first time ever I want France to crush them (and they will)!
Anyway, our defence was a bit crappy on those 2 goals so we deserve to go home! Good luck to all the remaining countries
I played some Mario + Rabbids to finish up those last ultimate challenges, then I started playing Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth and I tried out Destiny 2 since it's free for the weekend. I'm really glad that I got to try out Destiny 2 for free since now I know that it is not a game for me.
God of War! Going for the platinum since I find the game is at its best when story is out of the way and it becomes a free roaming action game.
Then Dragon's crown pro to help a friend and farming lucky tickets I'm SFV before they realise they are being too liberal with them XD
The worst way to experience Crash Bandicoot, on that "Other console" for writing purposes. Then Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon.
Nothing yet, but I'm planning to clear out the remaining side quests in Batman: Arkham Knight so I can see the true Knightfall ending, and also play all of the Season Pass DLC.
That will probably consume most of my weekend....hopefully next weekend or the weekend after I can start Life is Strange 1.
The Divison. I picked it up from the latest PSN Flash Sale and I'm really enjoying it.
@get2sammyb Please tell me that tagline was a reference to the shockingly bad/good John Barnes classic "Liverpool FC are hot as hell". Not as good as World in Motion but Barnes knows how to make a banger.
Zen Pinball FX3 I am doing match-up tournaments trying to get Diamond One badge.
@NYJetsfan123 best game ever chief.word upxson
@AFCC vivre la france.word up son
After finishing God of War early of the month, i 've gone back to my backlog - Rachet and Clank - finally beat the boss after multiple tries, Dishonored 2 .
World cup mixed with Horizon Zero Dawn
@playstation1995
You might be right about that. Best game ever. Best game since H: ZD. PS4 showing everyone who's boss
@playstation1995 hope they win, would hate to see the Brazil win
@AFCC you not a fan of Brazil.word up son
@playstation1995 I like brazilian players, I hate brazilian fans. Too cocky
