The gaming gods have blessed us with another gift in the form of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week, and so we suspect that’s what a lot of you will be enjoying this weekend. It’s been a pretty packed start to the year, though, with Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 2 to name but two. So what’s keeping your thumbs in motion at the moment?

I must admit I'm having a real hard time settling to play any one game at the moment, so I'm just kinda picking at titles here and there. I think this weekend I'm probably going to end up playing more 3on3 Freestyle, because I can't stop thinking about that game.

Oof, The Division 2's a bit addictive isn't it? I'm pretty sure I'll be cover-hopping my way across D.C. this weekend as I grind deep into the endgame. Can we just take a moment to appreciate those loot drop sound effects, by the way? So satisfying.

This weekend is all about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for me, as I'll be playing as much as I can ahead of my review. I'll save most of my thoughts for then, but I'll say that I'm definitely enjoying it after a very rough start. This game might have more tutorials than From's other titles, but the action is absolutely relentless. I've died a lot so far, primarily by the blade of Jouzou the Drunkard. Watch out for him, he's a nasty piece of work.

I'll be playing a little video game called Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as much as I can this weekend. I'm only two or so hours in so far, but I'm already thoroughly enjoying the combat and the increased focus on mobility. That grappling hook is pretty damn cool. Alongside that, my review plate is full over the weekend with Generation Zero and Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain both tussling for play time.
Christian Kobza, Reviewer
After finishing off Octopath Traveler and Devil May Cry 5 last weekend, this weekend I'll have my sites set solely on Sekiro. I'm ready to endure whatever it is From is going to be throwing my way.
What are you playing this weekend, then? Will you be butting your head against Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, or have you got a different game in mind? Let us know in the comments section below.

I bought Crypt of the Necrodancer in the sale after the announcement of that Zelda crossover and have been playing that on PS4/Vita. I have to say, the cross-save functionality works extremely well. It's obviously not a seamless change from handheld to TV like on the Switch, but it only takes an extra step or two to accomplish the same sort of versatility.
I'm traveling this weekend, so I'll be playing some Stardew Valley. Hopefully I'll get home at a reasonable time to play something on the PS4. Not going to lie, Division 2 is extremely tempting.
Tales of vesperia , earth defence force 5 and Sekiro. Strangely playing more EDF than the other 2. Need to get back and practise my blocking on Sekiro as still not beating the first sub boss
i have done 100% completion on the rise of the tomb raider campaign and will play some of the dlc's. (already done croft manor).
but score attack is not for me,too frustrating.
after that it's time for shadow of the tomb raider.
have i already said that i love this series after wrongly mocking it?
A bit of mass effect 3 this week after finishing mass effect 2. ME2 was pretty amazing, the 3rd has a lot to live up to!
In my best Keanu Reeves impression, "I am a Di-vis-ion agent"
@R1spam
Third is not as bad as people made out, but it has nothing on 2 which was he best of the bunch by far.
Just nicely gone past the 95hr mark on AC Odyssey so think my weekend goal is getting past that magic 100
Playing blaster master zero 2 on switch. I'm a fan of the first game, the first time I heard inti creates make another one I bought it the next day . Also waiting for cadence of hyrule, I can't wait for that game.
For ps4, I want to play sekiro but it seems my 2TB hdd is full, I think I'm gonna try deus ex 2 (from psplus) for 1 or 2 hours before deleting it and installing sekiro. I bought sekiro limited edition (region 3 day one edition) and I got this really nice poster / wall scroll
@ironcrow86 it's a huge game isn't it?
past the 100 hour mark myself but that includes the dlc though.
Sekiro. Dying many times
Dead Or Alive 6 and Tekken 7 for PS4.
The Division 2, fully fledged Push Square Agent
@jdv95 certainly is...still on the base game not even bought season pass yet....looked on ps store and at £25 ya can't really go wrong with that
@ironcrow86 plus you also get ac 3 remastered with it aswell! and liberation.
Just hit end game in The Div 2 and the loot chase has started all over again. So good...
I'm going to be busy with lots of games. There's 3 PS4 games and 2 3DS that I want to play a bit of this weekend, though there probably won't be enough time for all of them.
I'm hesitant to say exactly what I'll be playing this time since there was an annoying jerk who decided to join this site yesterday purely to message me major spoilers for one game that I'm playing.
Finally finished up shadow of the tomb raider last week, so last night I decided to boot up god of war from my backlog, only played 3 or 4 hours. But man is it good, can't see me paying much else. I may even switch to appear off line to stop the invites to blackout
@ironcrow86
Didn't know it was on sale for that price it looks like great v alue
@suikoden I'm very early on but can't get over how different my femshep looks from my ME2 import!! How are you enjoying sekiro? Can't wait to see what difference the movement/stealth makes.
Couldn't resist the urge to go back to RDR2, so I started my 2nd playthrough. The more I play AC Odyssey the more I miss it, so I'm playing them both side by side. Horses in RDR2 have made most other games' horses look ridiculous, I think the mounts in HZD come closest.
And I feel like Sammy, it's hard to play just one game these days. Plus, it just looks to me the PS Store isn't promoting Sekiro that much, I wonder why that is...
I'm off work for a week from now so lots of gaming time i hope..
As I wait for my copy of Yoshi on Switch next week I'll continue to be engulfed in the world of Egypt as my adventure in Assassins Creed Origins continues.I'm about 50 hours in now with still tons to do.I'm determined to get the plat for this one I think.
Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age has also still got its hooks in me along with Valkyria Chronicles 4.
@R1spam Just know 2 is the pinnacle of the series. I enjoyed 3 but not nearly as much as 2
Division 2 and WoW for me I think.
Don’t have much time for gaming but want to reach end game for Division 2 (level 29 atm) and play more Sekiro. Only played through the tutorial before I had to put it down but love the combat so far, it’s so fluid
Windows Phone:
Bubble Guriko - Cheap Bust a Move clone
Doodle God Blitz - Just started on
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Started on the cops story mode
Nintendo Switch:
South Park: The Fractured But Whole - Working on finishing up the main story then starting on the DLC from the season pass that I picked up.
Hey guys I'm still working my way through Red Faction impossible difficulty. I'm about halfway through the campaign at the moment. If I have spare time to play, I'll just be trying to inch my way through to the end. Happy gaming.
Sekiro for me once I finish Donut County on Switch.
I'll be getting wrecked in Sekiro and taking my frustration out on anything that dares to touch me in DMC5!
Aiming for the plat in Prey, then be running around in space yet again for alien isolation
When I get some free time, I'll complete a few more chapters in Devil May Cry 5.
Devil May Cry 5
GT Sport daily workouts and working on platinum on Lego Marvel Super Heroes I played back in 2014.
Sekiro for me. Those bosses aren't gonna execute themselves.
Just Kingdom Hearts 3 for me.
I’m all ghillied up this weekend.
Hardcore night of Mahjong which cost a fiver in the sale.
Trophies here I come!!!
Im actually watching my wife play Life is Strange on...dont hurt me...Xbox1s. Great story thus far. I will try and finally finish Horizon- glad i was late to the party! And Creed VR....somebody need dat ass whipped lol. Happy gaming everyone!!! From one side of the pond to the other!!
the division. and warhammer vermintide the end times.having fun haha.word up son
On the PS4, some F1 2018. Maybe it's just me, but I think the game has considerably more rainy races than the real thing has. I could be just imagining things though. Anyway, I discovered I still 100% suck at city-circuits, it's simply impossible for me to keep the same pace as even the worst of the AI. Also, some Dakar 18 and Nascar Heat 3 on the PS4.
On PC, Endless Space 2, a Master of Orion type game, Cossacks 3, a really good traditional RTS, and continuing a second playthrough of Unavowed, a wonderful old-school point & click adventure game. Hopefully, a race or two in Dirt Rally 2.
Nioh is still busting my balls. Stuck on the Ice Queen lady.
@KingdomHeartsFan Nope, never got it, neither on the Dreamcast nor on the PS4. Not for lack of trying either
Yakuza Kiwami 2 - I indulged in Zero and Kiwami pretty much back to back but thought I’d save this one for a while (in the vain hope of the 3,4,&5 remasters making their West sometime soon so I can work my way through to Song of Life) but decided it’s time for some more Kiryu -chan! 😁
Getting into The Witcher 3. A tad overwhelming still, now at about 9-10 hours in, but it’s coming together.
Also playing some SoulCalibur 6, but I think I’ve reached my fill of the game for now
And mixing in Persona 4 Dancing All Night for my Vita play. It’s a great game, even though the story is bonkers.

Taking a break from gaming to finish Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson, then i'll only have 2 more volumes of Malazan book of the fallen to go. Great fantasy series IMO if you fancy a challenge 😀
@LobsterJohnson did you read TDYK #14 😨? Only one more B. P. R. D to go!
@MightyDemon82 I haven’t read it yet, my reading backlog is nearly as big as my gaming one at the moment. Absolutely gutted it’s finishing ☹️😭
@LobsterJohnson same but anything by Mignola or Powell go straight to the top of the pile.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Sekiro.
If I have time (I work all weekend), I'm going to be playing Sekiro. I also bought a Nintendo Switch yesterday, so I'm dabbling in Zelda Breath of the Wild and The Messenger, and they are freaking fantastic games.
Praise the sun!
Played through the Arizona Sunshine campaign today on PSVR with the Aim Controller. Some of the controls for opening doors and interacting with switches are a little wonky, but other than that, very fun game. Picked up the DLC this evening while it's on sale, but I'll save that for another time. If I get some time tomorrow, back to Turok on Switch.
No gaming time for me this weekend because of the exams. Maybe (if I find time), I will finally finish my RDR2 playthrough (a m a z i n g game) and collect a few more collectibles for GoW platinum.
I'm continuing with my Horizon Zero Dawn and Resident Evil 2. Reading good things about Sekiro. I'm tempted.
A bit more AC Odyssey but mainly starting Shadow of The Tomb Raider, I liked Rise but but still thought it was lacking in exploration but only a couple of hours into this and ot seems to be much more what I was looking for in these games. Thankfully the game made it easy to turn off all of those silly senses you get these days so that I can actually explore the environment and I've loved every minute of it so far and can't wait to try some of the challenge tombs
I got Vermintide 2, love it but onlin seems dead already
Mainly Soul Calbur 6 just got the platinum.
Also playing a bit of Omega Quintet and Tetris Effect.
Drawn to Death (servers closing)
