Congratulations if you made it through this swelteringly hot week – the next one is supposed to be even warmer. The good news is that you can always close the curtains, shut the world out, and sit back with some video games – and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing. Here’s what we’re playing.

This weekend could go one of two ways. Either I could start Detroit: Become Human, or I could make a real effort to continue with Snacks on a Train in Dreams. The reality is that I’ll probably ignore both.

I've got yet another date with the courtroom this weekend thanks to Judgment. After finishing off the seventh chapter, the twists and turns so far have me eager to return for a full day of play on Sunday. I'll also be checking out a little indie game called 198X at some point.

I'll take my PS Vita away with me to Edinburgh this weekend, and I'll focus on a few quick plays of early 16-bit arcade ports like Altered Beast, Golden Axe, and Super Thunder Blade on the PSP's 2006 SEGA Mega Drive Collection.

This weekend is Switch focused for me: I'll be playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Super Mario Maker 2. That said, I'm also hoping to play more WipEout in PlayStation VR which has become one of my favourite experiences on the platform – if you haven't given it a go, you really should!

I am heading out of town this weekend so it's going to be all about the Switch and Super Mario Maker 2 which I am enjoying a lot. Hands down it's the best 2D Mario game out right now.
What are you playing this weekend? Do you have anything particular in mind, or are you just going to see what takes your fancy? Let us know in the comments section below.

Dragon Quest Heroes 2 that backlog is murdering me. 😆
Took a punt on “They are billions” so gonna build a wall... if I can work the controls out....
Destiny 2 raiding if we can scramble a team together 😂
Well Stick of Truth to finish and maybe might try Assassins Crewe Odyssey or possibly Trials Rising.
A bit of Elder Scrolls Online, a bit of Dragon Quest XI and some daily Red Dead Online. Lovely stuff.
I've just checked out a trailer for that 198X and it looks brill. Hope it comes to PS4/Vita.
top 5 rpgs of all time.the incredible dragon dogma dark arisen.💓💕💖💞❤💗😍.word up son
Hitman 2, managed to scrape by and complete the new legacy elusive target earlier. Also going to play lots more Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, and perhaps a little bit of Super Metroid and Sly Cooper 1 as well.
Not a lot still, I’ve really not played anything seriously for a while now! I had a go at Stardew Valley last week and finished Spring, but wasn’t motivated to continue. I started Skyrim for the 7th time last night so I might play a bit of that this weekend. It’s looking so dated these days.
Looking forward to Control, Links Awakening and Pokemon.
I got the same toward the end of PS3’s generation, the Vita filled the year gap for me back then. Roll on PS5!
Splatoon2, the final splatfest and some mario maker 2. I'm being dragged out to interact with people soon though and cant think of anything worse, I just want to be antisocial and game today!!
@Frigate Excellent. Cheers matey.
Playing horizon chase turbo, got it from psplus, I plan to play it for 5-10 minutes and delete the game, but the game is quite good, remind me of top gear from the snes. I think I’ll put this on my ps4 indie folder
This morning I downloaded FIA European truck racing championship which I’m enjoying so far. Also still playing Bloodstained ROTN, Days Gone, CTR NF, and some F1 2018 (getting the new one soon for my birthday!). Have a good weekend people 🙂
If I get some time this weekend, I'm hoping to get closer to finishing all of the Oxide Time Trials in CTR NF. Afterwards, I just need to beat Adventure Mode on Hard mode to get that sweet, sweet platinum trophy.
Trying to figure out Futaba’s mind pyramid in Persona 5 and getting the hang of my first Final Fantasy game with XV.
Continuing my 2nd playthrough of the unique and amazing HZD. Can't believe I doubted the game so much I bought Persona 5 instead for £55 day one in 2017, because Andromeda flopped and due to all the BotW noise I needed a cartoon-graphics fix. Persona 5 isn't bad though.
Plus hunting legendary fish in RDR2, took me 15mins to reel in the legendary muskie, you won't believe. AC Odyssey. Try to find some pilot helmets in Titanfall 2. And then continue my survival run with Alex in SFV.
I’m about to finish up Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. Get in some Samurai Shodown and a little bit of Dead or Alive 6. That’s all on PS4. As for the Switch I’ll be on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8.
Infamous Second Son , going for the Platnium . I never knew how fun it is to play Evil & just completely murder everything in sight 😂
Getting back into Final Fantasy XIV after being away for almost a week. Also losing more time in Dragon Quest Builders 2.
I picked up Prototype 2 during the last sale. As much as I'm enjoying it, plating ot in 2019 just makes me think I'd be having more fun playing Spider-Man.
Splatoon 2 - Representing Team Chaos in the Splatocalypse
L.A. Noire (Switch) - Made it to the Arson Desk and I can tell I'm nearing the end.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (Vita) - More TDM as usual.
Microsoft Flight (Games For Windows) - Still on a Let's Play.
Mirror's Edge (Windows Phone) - Still on a Let's Play.
Panzer Geekz (Windows Phone) - Still on a Let's Play.
More Borderlands 2 for me.
Continuing my journey in God of war, with some splashes of Knights of pen and paper and Bloodborne
Super Mario Maker 2. I have a lot of ideas for levels, but don’t find the time to make them. Most of he time I play the most popular levels and sometimes they are really good. I wish Nintendo would allow makers to make a series of levels that play one after the other, so that the makers could make complete games. That would be amazing.
FFXII, i'm after the secret Espers
@BearsEatBeets word of advice, if your having trouble with the fights put the difficulty down to easy it doesn't affect trophies except for one at the end game where you need to beat a certain boss on normal to get BUT you should be powerful enough by then to put the difficulty back up
@FullbringIchigo Take it you're referring to FF XV, I have it on default at the moment but good to know, thanks.
Gitting gud at Sekiro, sort of. A bit of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel too.
@BearsEatBeets yep i was
I don't go back to work till Tuesday and so far today all I have been playing is Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Horizon Chase Turbo on Ps4.Love both games and can see myself going for the Platinum on each.
I will also be playing the never ending Assassins Creed Odyssey on Ps4 and Octopath Traveller as well as the addictive Graveyard Keeper on the Switch.
I keep telling myself i will go back to Zelda Breath Of The Wild soon as it's been at least a year and a half since I last played it...and never finished it but so far I keep getting carried away with other games..
Judgment. Just past the halfway point and the story is really getting good.
On part 3 of FFVII, guessing i'm heading into the endgame now!
Been playing ever N64 game for a YouTube project but hooked up my Wii yesterday so been playing Kororinpa too!
@Wazeddie22 HCT got such a bad rap from people but it's such a good game! Really enjoying it too and likewise see myself getting the platinum eventually.
Final Fantasy XIV and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
Still travelling so fire emblem heroes from my iPhone.
Streets of Rogue and Grow Home. Also some Super Mega Baseball. I custom made a 32 team league. Awesome.
Bad North and Donkey Kong for me. Really enjoying both...
Fooling around in Borderlands 2 still (the DLC is surprisingly large) off and on. Started Telltale’s Game of Thrones. Not sure why, but I have been ignoring my Telltale backlog and I do quite enjoy them for the stories. And I am paranoid that these may disappear from the store at some point like Minecraft Story Mode did, so maybe that’s what motivated me.
I also might try some more Persona 5 eventually. We’ll see.
@get2sammyb
Just to let you know that alpha test applications for the next plants vs zombies game are being emailed to people. Just recieved mine and signed up, starting the 1st August
Have been playing track and field on my nes simulator its a lot easier than a younger me remembers! Also shadow of war now the microtransactions have been removed and it was only £7.50 on base for the full edition!!
FF7 on a straight run. If i miss something i miss it. Already have my master file on ps3. Just hadnt played start to finish in probably 4 years...waaay to long. Im a total creature of habit. And some Hong Kong Massacre. On Day 1
I have been playing the walking dead for the first time omg I am in the second season this game is unbelievably great. Shouldn’t of taken so long to play it awesome 👏
@Riparcade2 let me know how it is, looks like a cool game
FFXV for me this weekend, why do people hate this game? Its definitely not perfect, but its fun especially when u get further into it. The abilities to change who u are controlling was a great addition.
GTA V. I have now 100% the game offline and collected the 70 gold medals across the missions. Only offline trophy left is the one that glitched on me for purchasing the Taxi Cab Co. and completing a VIP drive. I will try to load an earlier save and see if that works, if not I will be starting a new game for that one.
If I complete that, I will go back to the online. Have a good weekend everyone.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Many Times
Metro Exodus. In the dark with surround sound headset on. Omg 😬
Now I've finally got my werewolf bite I'm gonna be having some fun in Elder Scrolls Online
Divinity 2, except I’m stuck on level 11 and can’t make any progress
@BridgeToClarity I'm at label 34.i had it on my ps3.but bought it on my ps4 pro.amazing game.word up son
@BridgeToClarity strength in numbers arisen. haha word up son
@BridgeToClarity yeah this game is really hard.but fun.did you play the dlc yet.word up son
@BridgeToClarity beat the game first and then at night.go to cassardis and talk to the woman and start the doc.word up son
@ellsworth004 I’ve had a few hours on it now and I must say it’s not bad. Takes patience and memorising the controls is a bit of a mission. Good fun and will be a challenge for sometime to come.
It’s a welcome break from graphic rich environments. Sorry, I’m no game reviewer but for me it’s a 7/10.
