Guess who’s back – back again? Sammy’s back – tell a friend! That’s right, your normal WAYP service resumes this week after Senior Staff Writer Stephen Tailby took the reins last week. It means that the article’s being published late, and arrangements only started being made a couple of hours before we’re publishing. Good to be back!

I'm finally playing Marvel's Spider-Man, which is living up to all the expectations I had for it prior to release. I don't really know what else to add about this game that hasn't been said already – it's great.
Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor
I stayed up until 3AM last night finally learning how to play Heihachi in Tekken 7, and it was honestly the most fun I've had gaming in a while. So now it's a case of putting my new skills to the test over the weekend, battering as many friends as possible.
Stephen Tailby, Senior Staff Writer
Manhattan still needs a hero, so I’ll be continuing my quest to clean up the streets in Marvel’s Spider-Man. I’m nearing the Platinum gong now, and I’ll be doing whatever a spider can to get it.

I’ve come down with a terrible case of Spider-Man fever. Send help and reinforcements. Someone needs to take this damn DualShock away from my hands for the sake of humanity.

I remember really relishing Final Fight: Double Impact, and especially Dungeons & Dragons Chronicles of Mystara on the PS3, so I'm having a Capcom retro brawler celebration weekend, because I'm buzzing at the imminent PS4 release of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle next week.

It’s been a long time since it’s release but now that a retail version has been announced I thought that I would bag myself a copy of The Long Dark. I love the survival mode and if it wasn’t for the engaging Wintermule story mode I may have been wandering around the Canadian wilderness all night. It’s a beautiful game with stunning graphics, and an impressive story. The Long Dark is a indie title I will definitely be playing over the next few months.

Seeing as everyone's playing Spider-Man, I decided to buy it too and see what all the fuss is about. Except I didn't, since I actually went to CeX and bought Vampyr instead, which I'll be playing this weekend. It's alright so far.

This weekend I plan to swing around Manhattan like a, er, Spider-Man in Marvel's Spider-Man. When I am not taking on baddies in Manhattan I will be continuing with Octopath Traveler on the Switch.
None of us are playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, then – but what about you? Are you hooking up with Lara Croft this weekend, or practising your swinging skills in Spider-Man? Let us know in the comments section below.

Spider-Cop.
This week I only play..
Bugger all, I'm working until the store opens next Saturday, and then I'll be working nights!
@RogerRoger Thanks, I'm really liking it so far. Can't wait to play more.
devil may cry hd collection.about to beat the first game.amazing game.word up son
Spider-Man, I’m 92% in the game and unlocked 91% of the trophies.
I’m sad that the game will end soon, can’t wait for the dlcs already.
@playstation1995 I played the collection recently, the third game is my favorite.
Word up.
Continue as the web-slinger in Spidey-Man.
I am playing Tomb raider But the second game in the trilogy rise of the tomb raider. Almost finished.
I have to do college stuff and at night I will play Dragon Quest XI.
Returning to Persona 4 Golden after a little break. Feels good to be back in Inaba with the gang.
Well, after being involved in a vehicular accident last night, but thankfully avoiding injury, I gotta play something this weekend. I'm shook.
Spider-Man & Stardew Valley
I’ll use this weekend to finish up the single player parts of destiny 2 which has as much as any FPS single player campaigns. Then on to clear some smaller games from my backlog before I go getting me some new games and extending my backlog again. Such is the roundabout of my gaming life.
Slowly making progress with Nier Automata and Shin Megami Devil Survivor Overclocked. Also going to go back to A Hat in Time since the PC version got some new content.
@PS_Nation. definitely. devil may cry is a great franchises.word up son
@b1ackjack_ps hahaha i just beat em yesterday.amazing game devil may cry 1
I'm gonna play Life Is Strange: Before The Storm again on my alt account for an easy plat. I really enjoyed this one, better than the first. Also space trucking in Elite Dangerous, as always.
Fallout 4 on pc I know this is a PS4 site but I'm currently banned off Spiderman till my girlfriend finishes it. And so I've become addicted to modding the hell out of it since I upgrade my pc ram too from 8gb to 16gb which means more mods
@RogerRoger @LaNooch1978 thanks guys.
Finished up Horizon Zero Dawn last night and jumped right into Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I guess I have something for women with bows and arrows who like to hide in the brush and stab people.
Dark Souls. I never played the Artorias of the Abyss DLC on PS3, so it's kicking my ass. I think the fight with Artorias was one of my favourites of the entire series.
This Manus guy, though, he can do one
Continuing on with Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Spider-Man and hopefully getting significantly far into Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Love what I've played of all them.
Spider-Man. Awesome until the final third which just launches one boss fight after another. Solid 8/10 though for me.
I'll be playing Dragon Quest XI and Spiderman..again.Both amazing and fun games!
I have also been making some time for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.Such an amazing game it seems a shame to put it on hold after spending 110 Hours on it so far.It's just had the big update too so if I ever finish Xenoblade I can start the expansion..
Spiderman on PS4
Super Dungeon Tactics on Switch
Nanananananana nananananana
Spider-Man! Spider-Man.
i'll be finishing Spider-Man and then i'll be continuing with my current playthroughs of FINAL FANTASY XV: Royal Edition on XBOX ONE, FFXV: Pocket Edition on PS4, FINAL FANTASY VII on PS4, FINAL FANTASY IX on PS4, FINAL FANTASY XII: Zodiac Age on PS4 and FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers on Wii
if your wondering i play each for a few hours at a time and i might not get through them all but that's the list
and yes i am a FINAL FANTASY fan
Spiderman for me folks but then away for work tomorrow then straight off to EGX so got to savour every moment I can game.
Spiderman. simply superb.
Still Spider-Man if I get time but it's a busy weekend for me unfortunately. Working most of today and tomorrow and there's a big fight on tonight as well which is gonna take most of my time.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish I was swinging through Manhattan right now though tbh
I will be playing spiderman, spiderman, and more spiderman
I tried to play red dead on psnow but 18 mbs speed broadband clearly aint enough! Went CEX this week and bought and old Xbox 360 and red dead for 45 quid. I have learnt a few things this week:
1. I was wrong, game streaming tech in UK is a while away from being able to be a mass market product.
2. I will never complain that the fan for my ps4 is too noisy again!!
3. Red dead is amazing and I am a Rockstar fanboy
Have a great weekend!!
Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Street Fighter V, King of Fighters 14, and Yakuza 6 for PS4. SNK Heroines and Freedom Planet on Switch.
Spiderman, spiderman, and more spiderman
I’m one trophy away from Plating Spider-Man so I’ll spend some time clearing up the various crimes to get that trophy. I’ll also be mixing in some Smite as usual, some Battlefield 4 (which I still maintain is more fun than 1) and more of the FIFA 19 demo which has been good so far.
P.S. today’s my birthday so my GF brought me to do one of those Escape Room things, was great fun, I’d highly recommend them!! Now for Villa to win tonight to cap off a great birthday!
Giving nioh a bash after struggling for months with bloodborne, a proper glutton for punishment 😂
@Hego Aye those escape rooms are great fun and something a little different. Spider-man for me must be closing in on the end as it's just got crazy all of a sudden, defo platting this game!
I'm too crap to be able to earn any more challenge tokens in Spider-Man. The only trophy I need for that plat is to buy all the suits but without enough challenge tokens, I'm moving on to Tomb Raider for now.
Also playing some more Destiny 2. Almost finished Warmind.
@Turismo4GT Glad you are ok man. Take it easy!
I have spidey but still working through God of War at the moment and still have a long way to go on that. I am mixing in some Firewall on VR and VA-11-HALL-A on Vita aswell
Tomb Raider will need to wait but will probs get it on sale as i want to pick up kiwami 2, dq11 and valkyria 4 first
Dragon Quest 11 for me. I picked up a copy of shadow of the tomb raider when I thought I had nearly completed Dragon Quest but it turned out I hadn’t so I’ll still be playing Dragon Quest for the while yet.
Continuing with Dragon Quest XI, which I am really enjoying. It's lovely to play such a traditional RPG. It's a really nice change of pace and actually makes the game stand out in a genre where many of the big names have eschewed that style of gameplay.
Started Steamworld Dig on the Vita last night as I got it in a sale years ago and figured it would be good to start tackling my digital backlog some more. The gameplay is rather addictive and it looks really colourful and crisp.
@Oldiebutnoobie a friend of mine just bought a ps4 and I let him borrow nioh. He brought it back to me the next day and told me he never wanted to play it again, so i let him borrow bloodborne, lol.
Just preordered hollow knight, so while I'm waiting 10 days for that to release I'm playing the last guardian and steamworld dig. I haven't quite decided how I feel about TLG. It looks great and is fun, but sometimes the controls are a little....bad.
Completely completed Spider-Man last night, so back to finishing off Horizon Zero Dawn and its expansion for the remainder of the weekend, though was very tempted to finally make a start on Persona 5 instead! This month's DQXI and Tomb Raider are both definite buys for me, but waiting till around Xmas to get the former and the Definitive Edition with the latter.
@ellsworth004 haha i like your style, i bet he returned bloodborne even quicker lol
@Oldiebutnoobie haven't heard from him yet, he may not be talking to me anymore. Lol
Nascar Heat 3, MotoGP 18, Ride 2, and V-Rally 4.
@Eternallover21 I started it properly a day or 2 before Spidey landed and I've fallen in love with it, just totally chills me out 😄
Spider-Man and possibly Light Fall on Switch
Doing some collectible hunting in Spider-Man & progressing with the story in Yakuza Kiwami 2.
Same thing I’ve been playing since early May: Skyrim!
I was gonna get Spider-Man yesterday but received a text from my son’s teacher that he’d been refusing to do his work in math class so I’m holding off.
@1W1NG3D4NG3L @Rob_230 cheers, yeah I'm also avoiding public transportation for a couple of days; the idiot driving the minibus I was on was driving recklessly when it happened.
I'm currently playing Tomb Raider after finishing Spider-Man yesterday. So far I'm very impressed. I've had a full day on it today and not once did I get bored. I would say I'm enjoying it more than Spider-Man and even more than Rise of the Tomb Raider, which I did get bored of and wanted it to end. This however, feels like an improvement on the previous game and I don't want it to end. I play stealthily (I haven't used any guns (yet) and Tomb Raider is my fix until a new Splinter Cell game comes out.
Spider-Man with a sprinkle of Yakuza karaoke.
Just finished Spider-man 😭😭😭😭
Still playing Spider-Man. It's looking to be my first platinum of the year... which is sad when you think about it 😔
Spider-Man,divinity original sin 2,dragon quest 11 and shadow of the tomb raider
Playing Spider-Man. It deserves all the praise it got (parkour is kinda lame, but then using webs is so fun that it doesn't matter). Yooka-Laylee is on hold for now, and I still want to play Shadow of TR, Dragon Quest and God of War this year. I hope to have enough time to play them. =)
@get2sammyb Speaking of Shadow, when is Push Square review coming?
Finished Spider-Man and absolutely loved it. The story is the better than any of the movies in my opinion. All the hype and it still surprassed it for me. Also just finish Link Between Worlds and that was a phenomenal game as well. Now back to Dragon Quest 11 and I just ordered Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology and Superstar Saga 3DS.
@RenanKJ Frankly, at this stage I honestly don't know. It's been a disaster to say the least.
@get2sammyb Really? What happened? Hahah.
@RenanKJ Probably shouldn't say publicly. We'll probably still review it at some point, but it's not a priority anymore sadly.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone
Nothing yet but I plan to resume playing Spider-Man tomorrow, I'm only a few hours in (just got the White Spider suit).
I decided to go ahead a get a new release. Went with Dragon Quest XI, and man I am glad I did, I'm not far into it but wow is it good. @ShogunRok your review swayed me into this game over spiderman and I'm glad I did it. I'll probably get spiderman down the line but I've needed a game like this for awhile, makes me remember why I love video games. I was a huge fan of XIII and this seems as good so far.
@Hego Happy birthday!
Still utterly engrossed in Yakuza 0 so nothing else is getting much of a look in. Reckon I must’ve spent 10+ hours this week just playing the koi koi minigame!
@ellsworth004 Nice! Glad you're enjoying it.
Just finished Spiderman, now on to Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, which I'm really looking forward to.
I'll also be on the Blackout beta, getting destroyed by anyone & everyone
@PS_Nation same. I kind of felt lost when the platinum popped up. I was like "that it now". Went and got myself tomb raider today tho so that's the rest of my Sunday sorted. No platinum on that one for me tho, damn those cheap "complete on nightmare difficulty" trophies.
@get2sammyb Surely you don’t mean to refer the disaster to the quality of Shadow of the TR itself? I’m having a great time with it but to me it’s more of the same like Rise but better overall, which is no bad thing, improving on an already great game.
@MaccaMUFC Nah, not played it so can’t comment on that.
NiNo Kuni 2 and Project cars 2.
The first one is still a funny and charming game after +50 hours, the second one is teaching me how how to actually drive a virtual car. Very impressive.
Spent the weekend playing Shadow TR and .... W O W this game, in my opinion, is flipping amazing. For me it's sitting extremely close to GoW for GOTY (I still think GoW is just a tad overall better, but it also had a lot of extra benefits like additional dev time and Sony throwing everything at it, and I'm still yet to finish Shadow so we'll see!)
Play "rainbow skies" on the PS Vita. Seriously addictive game. Stop playing all other games until this one is done.
