Doesn’t feel like the gaming industry’s quite got back to full speed after the slow summer holidays yet, does it? But the release of Madden NFL 20 means that things are about to get moving again, and both August and September look like hectic months for the PlayStation 4 – certainly more so than July, anyway. That means this may be your last opportunity to clear out your backlog, so the age-old question remains: what are you playing?

I’ve been working my way through Madden NFL 20 these past few days, and while I’m still not quite ready to deliver my definitive verdict, I can confirm that this year’s game is pretty good.

I'm still in the mood for pixelated strategy, so I'll be hopping back into Wargroove this weekend. If I have time, I'll also carry on with Detroit: Become Human, which I've left hanging through most of July. Sorry, David Cage.

After finishing up Judgment, I've been bouncing between a couple of games in an effort to find something that'll grab me. Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition bored me after an hour, and while The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel seemed interesting, I don't know how much time I'll invest in it. I think I'll just start Fire Emblem: Three Houses on my Nintendo Switch.

I enjoy the convenience of having my PlayStation Classic permanently hooked up, and recently I've been dipping my toes into the first couple of hours of games like Rayman and Resident Evil without relying on passwords, saves, or resume points. Similarly, I'll dabble in the opening hours of some more proper PSone classics.

This weekend I’ll be playing a lot of PlayStation VR: Tetris Effect, Beat Saber, and a few others. I’ll also be dipping into Fire Emblem a bit more as I’m hooked.
That's what we're playing this weekend, but what about you? You all know how this goes, so let us know in the comments section below.

Jumping back into Monster Hunter. I need to knock off the rust before Iceborne.
Aiming to play more Witcher 3, Knights of pen and paper and restarting another fallout 4 play through, without getting bored looking for stupid shaun 😴
Dragon Quest XI, Rage 2, Days Gone (finally after what...13 or so hours, I defeated the first horde).
Also trying to rush some old games in my backlog. Sekiro, etc.
ALSO I freaking started Borderlands 2 again and I hope to God that this time my save file isn't deleted/corrupted, cause if it happens I won't be buying B3. My extras menu says that I have purchased the Lillith dlc and 4k pack but it says they are not installed and when I press them I have downloaded them from store wtf...but the game seems 4k to me, Idk
Binding of Isaac and Doom 3 mainly, might spend a few hours in the batting cages and race some drones in Judgment too.
Pokemon Yellow Version (GB) - Just started out in Pallet Town.
Star Wars Pinball (Vita) - Just picked up the Star Wars Rebels table so giving that a go.
Asphalt 5 (Windows Phone) - Starting a Let's Play.
Microsoft Flight (Games For Windows) - Still on a Let's Play.
COD WWII, Trine 1 & 2, GTA V and Resident EVil 2 remake.
Can’t stop playing hyper light drifter on my iphone, no ps4 for me this week since my room is being (slightly) renovated. I just order fire emblem the three house, can’t wait to play it.
south park stick of truth and Batman Arkham asylum.word up son
Madden NFL 20 for me
can't wait for the NFL season .pittsburgh Steelers .best NFL franchise ever. let's get that 7 heaven superbowl 🏆.word up son
@wiiware how well does HLD play on iPhone? It sounds horrible if I’m honest!
Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, I'm eager to play lots more of it and see what happens next. Going to play some Hitman 2 as well, as a new legacy elusive target The Chameleon has appeared. Also doing a little bit of Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, I won't spend much time on the new grand prix, but I do want to try out the new track and unlock the 3 new characters as they don't seem to be that hard to get.
Preparing to give Mordegon a good whooping in DQXI, betting on digital horses in GTA's Diamond Casino and some good old fashioned hunting, fishing and treasure hunting 1899 style.
RDO & GTAO.
Finally bought PS Plus just for those 2 games. Also, I'll be playing my first Yakuza - Kiwami - after saving it for later when I had a 2-day PS Plus free trial. Why's Kiryu's face forever angry, looks corny. His walking is on point but again I hate it when a game wants to go for realism but you have the protag running all over the place in suit. I'll see if I like it or not when I've played enough. I saw @shogunrok say Kiwami's the weakest and many people playing their first Yakuza may judge the whole series based on this. Well, I'll see if I like the gameplay first cause they should be the same in all the rest no...
a bit of FFXIII and some Star Trek Online i think
@Frigate nah pittsburgh Steelers will be the team to beat.word up son
On chapter 11 of Yakuza Kiwami so can't be too far from the end but just discovered Pocket Car Racing! Haruka sure is cute being an uncle this game has moved me in so many ways with the story as i'm a bit of a soft touch.
Start playing Bloodstained, and a few races in CTR NF for more Grand Prix goodness.
Still playing FF XV but my interest is waning. If my brother is online I’ll probably do some more Division 2 and I’ll continue the calendar on Persona 5.
Also I’ve got back into RDR 2 and getting the 100%. Just have a few bandit challenges to do, I did all the others except these as I was an honourable cowboy.
I recently purchased dying light and I find it really good after an hour of play.ill be playing more of that, also Pes 2019 and the demo of 2020
Making slow progress through the first Bioshock game. Maybe playing it 10 years too late but I’m enjoying it so far.
Dreams. I just made a car advertorial for a fictional space car.
https://indreams.me/dream/mPeUWhUMPZL
Anyone on dreams get on it!
I’m gunna ride to a friends house for a bbq, watch a movie, slow things down a bit, then I don’t know - probably some Doom, and a bit more progress with my never ending play through of FF9.
Probably nothing as I have other non gaming stuff to do. If I get any PS4 time I'll be back on the Borderlands 2 grind. I've played nothing else since June's PS+ games came out.
@Frigate it all depends on ny Jets qb sam darnold.he play good in the beginning.but he was horrible in the end.word up son
Days gone, which I think I’m getting near the end of. F1 2019, which I just got for my birthday 🎁 also, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Redeemer: Enhanced edition (when it’s not crashing 😡) and some Dirt Rally 2 🙂
@Frigate but the season started good for him.jets was winning.but at the half of the season he was playing like crap.he must play better for them to go to the playoffs.but it will not happen.word up son
I’d love to see the Broncos do well so it’s nice to see them get a winning start to preseason.
@get2sammyb Is the running game as broken as everyone’s been saying in Madden 20? By all accounts, instead of being impossible to get running yards, it’s now far too easy even at All-Madden difficulty.
@kyleforrester87 I though so too, but the game implementation of touch screen analog stick is great, usually my finger drift to the end of my phone glass when I move my guy on screen on other games but because in this game there’s a dot in front of the guy, I know when to slide my finger all the way (to run) or slide it just slightly (to walk).
Of course it will play way better on dualshock 4 or joycon, but the game is only $5 on app store, and I can play it whenever I like because I always have my phone with me, so yeah, HLD on phone is pretty good
@wiiware nice, honestly I’m still pretty dubious but if it works for you that’s great. Awesome game, though.
@TheArt Kiwami is Great, i've played Zero and it was also great. I'm 21 hours into Kiwami and enjoying it immensely. The substories are excellent you can spend ages just playing mini games!
Ps4
Assassins Creed Odyssey.
Dragon Quest Builders 2.
Switch
Octopath Traveller.
Zelda Breath Of The Wild.
I really wanted Fire Emblem Three Houses but to be honest when will I get time to play it?
Doing a bit of travel, but I might try to get some time with Spider-Man. My time is gonna be limited though.
I'm pretty sure I'm nearing the end of Dragon Quest Builders 2, I'm gonna try to clear that this weekend. Also gonna start getting into current endgame stuff on Final Fantasy XIV.
@MightyDemon82 Well I hope I like it, haven't really played enough, it's been RDO and GTAO past few days.
I’ll be watching a little bit of EVO. Samurai Shodown and Street Fighter V on PS4.
Started Dragon quest builders 2 couple weeks ago and loved it, however I picked up subnautica on PS4 last weekend and already put 15 hours into it. So guess I’ll be playing that all weekend.
Is anyone else still playing subnautica?
Probably some online with R6 Siege and some Final Fantasy XV. Also if I get time gotta play Shadow Of War. Almost finished the story
My wife and I finally finished Detroit yesterday (got it for Christmas). I loved it but was genuinely gutted I forget the name of a certain characters offspring.
I might have to stop posting I'm playing fallout 4, as I'm only getting a couple of hours to game a week at the moment and I've not played a main mission a very long time, to busy being the silver shroud. Bought my daughter starlink on switch for a tenner, she loved the toy with fox mccloud so if I get even a few hours of gaming in with her it will have been worth it.
@CaptFloofers how many hours is the dragon quest builders storyline ?
@LobsterJohnson my best game ever. Regardless of how late you are to playing it, you will certainly enjoy it
Same as last week. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Judgment.
Streets of rogue, Wargroove, Minit, and maybe some Aggelos.
And Shin Megami Tensei 4 on my 3ds.
What’s up guys, I platinum’d Dragon’s Crown in the last week. It was a fun “little” distraction from GTA V online, little in quotation marks because final time to platinum for me was about 133 hours lol.
But now I’m back to GTA V online. I’m rank 60 and slowing trying to make my way up to rank 100 but it’s a slooow grind that is made even slower due to frequent disconnects and random party members not cooperating during missions. Now I remember why I stay away from online games for the most part.
Happy gaming everyone.
@playstation1995 Steelers gonna have to get past the browns first. They actually look like they may be good.
Evil within for me this weekend, ive owned it forever and for some reason never played it, good game so far.
Playing Fortnite and I think I’m getting worse at it. You really can’t beat a mouse for a shooter.
@ellsworth004 pittsburgh Steelers is gonna beat the brownies 🍪 cookies.evil within is amazing I had it on my ps3.but decided to play it on my ps4 pro instead.amazing game.graphics.story etc.word up son
@MJKatana I haven't been keeping track of my progress's time but from what I've looked up it's about 60 hours.
Under NDA to not speak about what I'm playing this weekend
Why didn't anyone warn me that Yakuza Kiwami would turn me into an absolute wreck? What a game just fantastic, a few frustrating boss battles but just superb. The final battle was EPIC!
@deepspace5d Exactly the excuses I kept giving myself to stay away from online, and quite good excuses at that. Because disconnects, long reconnect times, waiting forever for just the one guy who hasn't pressed READY, some degenerates who shoot at everybody, some sad case who keeps ruining teamwork and failing missions.
But I decided to overlook all that and get Plus because RDO and GTAO just keeps getting better and better. I'm rank 58 on GTAO, I'm also aiming 100 to get that gold trophy. Those 2 games are just a joy to play, it never surprises me they're still on the top 10 sales charts.
@R1spam I'm just wishing I get the time to go on my like 6th playthrough of Fallout 4 + Far Harbor & Nuka World. The game's just too good but TIME!
I still cant believe how reviewers got it so wrong with Days Gone, including PushSquare review.
I usually dont care about reviews but those were straight laughable. Best game ever for me haha
..and my first home console video game was the pong games series.
@TheArt yeah I'm loving it and can see why you've played a lot!! I bought the goty for dlc recently and am looking forward to far harbour. I have to try red dead online again, played a little bit at the start and enjoyed it
