The long-awaited Borderlands 3 has finally arrived, but the review schedule is so busy that it's not the only title on the agenda of our esteemed editors. In fact, this is quite the eclectic WAYP.

For me, this weekend is all about review duty. Two games are waiting for my critical gaze, both offering something a little different. Firstly, The Sojourn is a first person puzzler with The Witness vibes (the best type of vibes). Secondly, I'll be hopping into PSVR for Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son, a time-looping adventure game that's a sort of sequel to the classic Bill Murray flick. Expect to hear more about both very soon.

There's only one thing on the menu this weekend and its name is Borderlands 3. Loot for starters, shooting takes up the main course, and Claptrap for dessert. Delicious!

I've been on an absolute unrelenting tear with Beat Saber lately, and just can't stop playing it. It's just too fun to put down! Wanna give a look-see to the Call of Duty beta as well, though I wouldn't say I'm excited. And then if EA deigns to send on a review copy of NHL 20, I'll be diving into that, otherwise, I'll have to go and pick it up.

I'm focusing on 16-bit games over the next few weeks, so I'm playing the original Sonic the Hedgehog on the PSP's SEGA Mega Drive Collection to remind myself of the way in which the design of side-scrolling platform games progressed in 1991.

At long last, it's Borderlands 3 time. I've spent the past couple months pouring dozens of hours into Borderlands 2 and snagging it's Platinum Trophy, so I'm very ready. I'll be spending my weekend putting as many hours into it as possible.
What are you playing this weekend, then? Is it all Borderlands 3, or do you find that franchise a load of old Claptrap? Wiggle your jaw in the comments section below.

Mafia 3. What a soundtrack this game has.
NHL20 for me! Maybe a little Remnant too.
FINALLY finished ESO so enjoying the end game content with my new guild mates
Going to carry on with my FFVIII Remastered playthrough
Valkyria Chronicles 4, Lara Croft Go, and Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Maybe other stuff too, but these will probably be the major players.
Divinity original sin enhanced edition.and hitman definitive edition.and i will be listening to new edition.old school music song.cool it now.word life.word to your mother.word is born.word ☝ up son
Borderlands 3!!!!!! With a side of drunk LEGO Incredibles with my wife tonight.
Finally going back to make progress in Final Fantasy 7.
The game went on the back burner back in June when CTR was released, but I'm finally going to finish it.
More SNES online with my switch. Sorry ik this aint a Nintendo site but thats all im playing lately
What time I have this weekend since I work will be in PvZ Battle for Neighorville
Well I would have said Borderlands 3 but without vertical splitscreen I decided to take it back. Probably will play some more of the Dragon Quest XI Demo on Switch.
I finally picked up Dragon Quest Builders 2 and it's absolutely delightful.
Bioshock Infinite
Dragon's dogma and finally starting Greedfall and torchlight 2
@Gremio108 Right?!... it is incredible!.
I also liked the game itself, and I did not play it till it was a PS Plus release last year.
Greedfall, not enjoying the combat, will see if I will get use to it, the locking on enemies is strange.
In the mood for some SNK fighting games so probably Samurai Shodown and King of Fighters 14 on PS4 for. I honestly need to get started on Red Dead Redemption 2 as well.
Borderlands 3 using Moze, really enjoying using her. Thought I'd miss Axton's turrets but Moze's mech is way more fun.
Ps4
Assassins Creed Odyssey
Trails Of Cold Steel 2 (bought this on my vita for a fiver ages ago but I hardly use it so grabbed the PS4 version in the sale. )
Yakuza Zero.
Switch
Octopath Traveller.
@LN78 @Agramonte Yeah, one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. At one point I failed a mission because I crashed while trying to beep the horn in time to James Brown's 'I Feel Good'
Greedfall! The game slowly starts to grow on me. Which is nice.
There's a really great "game" on Steam called Kind Words. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Also, playing more of the Modern Warfare beta. Most fun I've had with CoD multiplayer in a very long time.
Going to hunt more monsters in Monster Hunter World Iceborne, Witcher 3, and Half-Life 1.
Greedfall and Borderlands 3. Enjoying both.
Yakuza Kiwami and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, with a bit of Final Fantasy XIV thrown in for good measure.
Making a start on collecting and trading in RDR2 Online. I had a quick go at changing my appearance but still always comes out looking freakish so left it.
Ape out and blasphemous, man ape out is really really fun, we’re playing as an ape that running away from its captor, there are only 2 button, catch and push, to kill an enemy we can push enemy to the environment, or catch it and use it as a shield, or throw it to another enemy/environment, and that’s it. I really really recommend it to anyone that like 2D indie games
Blasphemous is good, its more like castlevania games rather than dark soul games which is surprising, the enemy design is really cool that most of it is based on punishment.
Somehow at 50-odd percent in Horizon despite starting it on Monday, I just can't put it down! Hopelessly addicted to Out of the Park Baseball on PC and will probably get a few games of Dota Underlords in there too, they can both be played while working my way through the RYM charts.
Trying to start the Frontier Pursuits on RDO but I'm having connection issues so I rode alongside Karen, Lenny and Bill in story. GoW - dunno why Kratos is still in a battle stance when talking to Broke/Sindr, relaaaax dude. Still on AC Odyssey. FIFA 20 demo. HZD. Batman AK.
Rocket League (Switch) - Been playing online again.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (Vita) - Mostly TDM with some Operations in between.
Earthworm Jim HD (Windows Phone) - I forgot how much I hate What the Heck!
Ashpalt 5 (Windows Phone) - Need for Speed is better but this is ok.
Mostly playing new games (it’s been an expensive month so far!)...Borderlands 3, Greedfall, Torchlight 2, and WRC 8.
I'm still working my way through Torchlight 2 and Greedfall but let's be honest, my weekend is going to consist purely of Borderlands 3
Finally finished fallout 4 and have completed with two of the factions and halfway through the institute ending but after I finish that, I'm going to have a break before dlc and dive into rise of the tomb raider
@R1spam Rise of the Tomb Raider is still one of the games I've had the most fun playing and has a great soundtrack, enjoy!
Will be playing Greedfall, liking it so far.
Gears 5 for me I think! Plus whatever bits I pick up in the retro fair tomorrow!
Sniper Elite 4 and Gravel!
@Hootnoodle I’m really enjoying Torchlight 2, more so than Warhammer Chaosbane which was 3 times the price!
Getting back to playing Jade Cocoon 2 on PS2 after being side tracked by the Code Vein demo on PS4 the past week.
Playing Let It Die on PS4 occassionally too
@Nightcrawler71 I was torn about warhammer chaosbane, how is it?
@Hootnoodle it’s pretty good, but there’s high repetition of environments. They’ve just added invasion mode in a PS4 patch, though I haven’t played it yet. It’s probably worth getting when it comes down in price.
I'll be playing Pes2020..still waiting for the review in this site. The gameplay is shockingly amazing. There's still room for improvement in modes and commentators though
I'm totally addicted to walking around with a glowing vibrating lamp looking for buried coins and heirlooms in the glorious world of Red Dead Online.
Probably a mix of Gears 5 and Borderlands 3 this weekend and for the foreseeable future....
Jumping into Apex Legends for the first time. Wouldn't mind playing with a group I'm more familiar with, but still having a good time with the randoms.
I’m playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PS3.
I just beat the whole campaign on Veteran difficulty. Now I’m starting survival mode and it is pretty fun so far. Happy gaming everyone.
Recently took a notion for some strategy games so picked up Kronos and 8 bit invaders so been playing them and having a blast. Though makes me long for the glory days of red alert 2 and age of empires 2 to live again
Trails of Cold Steel.
Borderlands 3 - about 3 hrs in, great fun so far. Same old same old but it's great all the same
Pro Evo 2020 - the best footie game ever ? I reckon so
Gears 5 on XBO - a stunning game
Just finished FFX on PS4; working on Lara Croft: Guardian of Light on XB1 and Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan on Switch.
@Gremio108 Agreed, very underrated game in my opinion!
@fabisputza00 I'll be playing PES 2020 as well. Really good, although I've had to change the camera back to my regular one, the stadium camera was doing my head in a bit.
I can't believe this site hasn't reviewed it. I actually think it's a bit of a disgrace. Undoubtedly they will review FIFA on release day. No wonder Konami can't shift the game what with the biased in the media towards FIFA.
@tomassi Yes, it is very strange not to see a review on this site. The gameplay keeps improving year after year. I got used to the stadium camera and really enjoy its realistic touch.
I hate the idea that Fifa will sell tons of games and their gameplay has not changed at all pretty much. It's been the same FIFA for 4 years now... the demo really dissapointed me.
After finishing The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance this morning, i might dive back into Okami such a great game!
Just finished Mario+Rabbids donkey kong DLC but now have to iron my work clothes so probably not much else!
Finished whole Battlefront 2 campaign from start to finish with DLC. It was surprisingly good game, maybe even better than Star Wars Unleashed which is the best star wars story game for me personally. DLC was quite bad tho.
Fall is in the air, so I've busted out the Halloween season games. First up is Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut. I love Friday the 13th series and the slasher genre, so I can't believe that I have never played this game before. It is gory and hilarious at the same time. A really fun and satisfying puzzle game similar to Hitman GO.
