Look, I'll take any excuse to play Monster Hunter: World, and so I'll be checking out the second anniversary event this weekend. Has it really been two whole years? And if more Monster Hunter isn't enough to satisfy my lust for action, I've just installed Nioh. Despite being the King of Weebs here at Push Square I've never actually played much of it, so hopefully it clicks.

I'm going to be putting in a few more hours with Dreams this weekend, as I've fallen out of practice with the tools and want to get back to making things. I've been playing some community creations lately, and the volume of awesome stuff is kinda crazy. I'll also be taking a look at 7th Sector, an indie game I know almost nothing about.

For the first time this year, I'm genuinely excited about the games I have to play across the weekend. I'll be meeting up with Kazuma Kiryu as I conclude his story in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and taking on the undead legions of Zombie Army 4: Dead War for review.

I'm interested in looking at modern PS4 retro style releases that successfully contain the essence of what made their original inspiration so great in the first place, and playing Sonic Mania feels like a natural point of reference.
This is what we're playing, but what about you? You know the drill: drop your gaming itinerary in the comments section below.

Bravely Default for me, grinding out some JP and experimenting with the different jobs.
Made the mistake of introducing my girlfriend to Stardew Valley so don’t expect to get on the PS4 until Resi 3 drops now.
Same as the last few weekends for me, some Death Stranding on Pro (Just been over the mountains) and AC Odyssey DLC. Nearly finished the first one which hasn't been great, hopefully Atlantis will be better.
I'll just be carrying on with Monster Hunter World Iceborne, Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. With Iceborne, I'm getting to the point where I've done most of what I wanted to do it in and want to move on. So I plan on just do any interesting looking quests that I've missed, then I'll be done with that game, at least until if and when any new monsters get added.
Dragon Quest Builders 2.Took a break from the excellent Days Gone to go back to this beast of a game that I thought after 90 or so hours I was at the end of the story campaign only to find I'm yet again at another new chapter.
On Switch I've been continuing Fire Emblem Three Houses and also just started Alliance Alive and Labyrinth Of Refrain:Coven Of Dusk both of which are great!
I'm nearing the end of devil may cry v, so will aim to finish that this weekend! I knew I'd enjoy it since I loved both the bayonetta games, but it's even better than I was expecting - the combat is just so deep and exciting, I'm determined to master it!
Atelier Ryaz for me. Really enjoying it and the story is starting to pick up pace. Had a slight bump working out that you could had to equip gathering items and that you could only equip them in the Atelier. But I’ve worked out what I’m doing now and I’m making good progress.
My 3 year old has taken a liking to the original Doom so while he's playing that I've finally got round to the quite brilliant Luigi's Mansion 3
I honestly dont know what to play this weekend, finished god of war on monday, still got a few games in backlog but not sure what to put on, i have either ni no kuni, outer worlds, i got the 7 day free trial for ps now so also got persona 5 downloaded never played any of of them, also tempted to buy control so honestly will find out 2morrow and see what i want to play, my weekend starts on sunday, well untill next week when i will be starting new job which will be 9-5 and weekends off honestly cant wait as at moment i only really play on sundays and mondays with maybe an hour or two mid week, now it will be few hours every night and weekends, backlog will be clearing fast after this weekend lol,
Dark souls remastered man im amazing in video games.i beat orstein and smough in anor londo my first try.people said that boss battle was hard.but im hard myself.haha.and im also playing salt and sanctuary.and valkyrie chronicles remaster.word up son
Just sitting watching the credits of Tales of Vesperia, great game!
A bit of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, a bit of Valkyria chronicles 4, a bit of Firewatch and a bit of Red Dead Online. But I'm going to play NFS Heat right now. I SAID RIGHT NOW!
Been having a lot of fun in Rayman Legends lately. Also I’m getting ready for Watch Dogs Legion, so I’ve went back to play Watch Dogs 1.
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot
then once i'm done with that because i should have finished it by tonight i'm gonna replay these because i love them
I'm starting a new game of KH3. The DLC may have been a letdown, but it gave me the urge to finally replay it.
On PS4 I'm nearing the end of Kingdom Hearts III, so hopefully I'll be able to finish it off over the weekend.
On Switch I'm playing Blade Strangers mainly, but may pop over to SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, and Dragon Quest Builders (on the go) as well.
EDIT: I just learned that my copy of New Super Lucky's Tale is arriving much sooner than expected, so that'll probably be my main Switch game.
PS4-Control, Crash Team Racing, Resident Evil 2, and Samurai Shodown.
Switch- Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Shinobi
I dunno how I feel about MH World so far, the monsters are interesting but overall thus far I'd say the game doesn't even come close to HZD. I just ended up starting a NG+ on Bioshock after completing my 2nd run of the masterpiece RDR2. I'll probably try to plat Dishonored 2 once and for all too.
Mainly focusing on Shenmue 3. Just recently made it to Niaowu and I'm kind of floored with the amount of stuff you can do there.
Finished Spiderman last week earning a nice little platinum. Right now I'm playing two games at once which is rare for me in the form of AC:Liberation and Far cry 5.
Will I finally be able to bridle Trico into submission? Doubtful. But I’ll try again.
Got a bit of time on skyrim earlier, really enjoying it so far. Theres something about bethseda worlds that make you want to keep exploring. They are a bit samey though, I'll be taking a break before I go back to fallout 4 to play far harbour. Also some more yakuza 0 hopefully, it's a gem. One of the best games I've played in ages.
In Chapter 5 of RDR2 and my God! What a game! I really feel for the characters, the time when the game is set.. When the sun started setting on cowboys and corporate greed started wrapping its tentacles all over the US. Also, John Marston is fast becoming a much more likeable character after all that's transpired before RDR1. I actually understand his plight. Thanks Rockstar and please remake RDR1!
Crash Team Racing and Final Fantasy 7
Giving Shadow of the Colossus a go. Have heard it's a nice short game so maybe can get through it this weekend.
Also want to get back in the Chalice Dungeons on my quest towards finally getting that Bloodborne platinum (Queen Yharnam is the only trophy left).
Trying to beat this stupid fishing side-quest in Shenmue III. It's a simple matter of catching the most fish, but however many I get, there's a guy who's always a few ahead of me. I think he's got a trawler or something.
Again it's Dragonball Z Kakarot for me! Hopefully finish the Cell saga.
After finishing Walking Dead New Frontier this on Wednesday now I will go back to focusing on a mixDarksiders 3 and PvZ Battle for Neighborville grinding
I don’t have time to play much of anything but I’m gonna try to make some more progress in Tokyo Mirage Sessions for the Switch. It’s the only game I’ve played in a while that’s keeping my attention.
2 more chapters left of God of War. Definitely one of the top 2 of my favorite games ever. I seem to really love Rise of the Tomb Raider still though. That one is still in first place for me.
I just crossed over the 60 hour mark in Persona 5 last night.
I'm still having a blast with the game.
Eso it's always eso lol
LA Noire (PS4 version), totally forgot how good this game is. Love the 40's setting and how much of a schizo tool Cole is, the guy cracks me up. Such a shame Team Bondi never got to make anything else. Also playing Sayonara Wild Hearts, it's utterly confusing, controls like crap, makes my eyes bleed and I'm absolutely loving it. Wonderful game!
Bought myself a new top spec gaming laptop in the week so I'm going to start on StarCraft 2, got all 3 campaigns to crack on with and will fully mod Skyrim.
On PS4, carrying on with Jedi Fallen Order which is great and will boot up A Plague Tale : Innocence, heard good things !!
Dissapointed this site didn't do a story about the new eso expansion actually. Any reason why @get2sammyb because you didn't review elsweyr either but have an advert for it on the site
Playing Diablo 3 at the moment, plus I finished the 4 main season's in the walking dead definitive edition, so may play some of the michonne series, for the platinum.
Installed death stranding last night before bed. So at some point tonight I'll start it up and get going on that. Still of mixed feelings about it. It really doesn't look all that interesting but alot of you have said that after a few chapters things really pick up. So I'm counting on the pushsquare community, and if I don't like it, I demand my $64 back from all of you!
@gollumb82 Even at the end of my 2nd run, the story still hit me like it was my first time. The music even makes it more sad. Looking back at how far you've come and all what the gang's been through, you feel for all characters, wondering what became of them when the credits roll. RDR2 is simply a masterpiece.
@QualityGeezer PushSquare tries to sell you what it think you would like for most based on your history. The advert I’m seeing on this page are for Ni No Kuni remastered , Atelier Firis , Ark of Alchemist, Code Vein , Utawarerumono and Nelke the legendary alchemists. I suspect the system has guessed what we like quite accurately.
I will be playing Modern Warfare on the PS4 this weekend along with Madden 20 with a few friends.
Blackguards 2!
Hopefully God of War (ps4). I recently started it and so far it's been amazing.
@TheArt
Indeed. Gotta say though, a lot of stuff from RDR1 makes way more sense once you've played through RDR2. At the time I didn't fully see the point of John's mission or the weight behind the plot of the game. Now I will definitely be replaying RDR1 and appreciating it that much more. Hopefully Rockstar remake it though as it was pretty ugly on PS3.
@kyleforrester87 Looking forward to Bravley on Switch.
Malaka! I'll be playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey this weekend, I really regret not playing this game earlier.
pkr to grind some more dolly to get some new games to play then can comment.
@Luna-Harmony yeah me too, keeping my eye out for news but I guess it’ll be in a Direct!
Started to read some H.P. Lovecraft books, so ofc i felt the need to replay Bloodborne again.
Fortnite (Switch) - Still working on the Stretch goals.
Saints Row: The Third (Switch) - Started playing online coop with a friend.
Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition (Vita) - Starting the Egypt tournament and taking online challengers.
Hexic (Windows Phone) - All this grinding is about to pay off.
Briquid Mini (Windows Phone) - this puzzle game is unbalanced.
Scrapped the witcher 3 for now just Couldent click with it, started ac origins last sunday so more hours ploughed into that this weekend, thoroughly enjoying it
@naruball i finished god of war on monday and it truly is an amazing game, took me a few attempts to actually finish it but this time it clicked. After you finish the game you should head over to the ps store and watch raising kratos its really good and insightfull, and its free. As one of the kind members of push square community advised me, it truly is very good doc on how the game is made, what goes into it highly recommended.
@Daleaf I completely forgot about that! Thanks. I most certainly will.
@naruball It's one of the few games where i stood up and clapped at the end of it.
They (Sony Santa Monica) really nailed a near perfect balance between gameplay, graphics and storytelling.
ESO and Breakpoint!
Generation zero. That is all
@spaceghost shadow of colossus is my next game to play too
Dead Island and Ico on the wife's console so we can get through the ps3 back log by when ps5 comes out.
And for me more Kingdom Hearts 3. Just got all treasures so time to get the remaining items and then move on to the gummi ship trophies.
@kyleforrester87
I made that mistake too.
@playstation1995 we should co-op on some DS sometime bro, or any other souls games.
Working toward plat for okami, most beautiful game i think ive ever played.
Dirt Rally 2.0. My goal remains, to not suck, but I rate my chances as close to zero.
And happy Australia Day y’all
@swagbag713 Buy it. Only finished Rise of the Tomb Raider last week but really rate it, think it's better than the first reboot.
I've gone back to AC Odyssey. There's something about this game that compels me to play it!
Oh and a little SW BF2 and Days Gone.
@ellsworth004. Yeah no doubt playa.im on level 104 .i play as a mage.dark souls is legendary.okami is beautiful.but i got to say ni no kuni.is the most beautiful game i ever play.word up son
Playing through some more Control, really liking this game, the atmosphere is amazing and I love the powers. Also hoping to get in some CoD: MW in tonight as well, Infected is such a fun game mode! Really reminds me of 28 Days Later
Everytime i think I'll put a bit more time into Days Gone or GOW i get sucked into They are Billions...so no particular plans besides i have a hallway to paint
I’m playing through Doom again, really looking forward to Doom Eternal!
