The weather is abysmal and the threat of germs linger on the horizon. Why would anyone want to go outside at all? Fresh air? It’s overrated – we plan to use our DualShock 4 as a kind of life support, and games are the only oxygen we need.

Having left Concrete Genie in favour of work-related reviews, I’m planning to get back to PixelOpus’ brilliant artsy adventure this weekend.

Guess who's playing The Witcher 3 again? I know, I know, it's beyond a joke, but I can't help it. The start of 2020 has been unbelievably dry for new games, and I've been craving some in-depth escapism. Fortunately, I'm really enjoying this New Game Plus run on the second hardest difficulty. For me, this game just never gets old (as you may have noticed).

I’ll be committing all of my time this weekend to a video game I can’t talk about yet.
Jacob Hull, Reviewer
The quiet start to the year has given me some time to get into some older games. I just finished Stories Untold on PC, which was short but excellent. On the agenda this weekend is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, should time allow for it.

This weekend I'm going to be getting back into Destiny 2's PVP in advance of Season of the Worthy. I've never been particularly good at it, but I've missed its unique rhythm. Aside from that, I'll be playing more Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

The Legend of Dragoon on my Vita 👌🏾
For me it's grinding trophies on MK11 after stepping away I'm really enjoying it again. Also tomorrow the Wizard event starts in PvZ Battle for Neighborville so I'll be working on unlocking him while I grind promotions for the plat all month. Probably won't be could pick up God of War for some Valkyrie hunting still haven't gotten them all and the Queen
Hoping to finish off Greedfall ! Taking an age, but not gonna do a 2nd play through.
Also playing StarCraft 2 on PC and look at mixing things up a bit with SF5 Champion edition
Playing the last of us remaster on ps4. When I heard sony will make ps4, I stop buying graphically intensive games on ps3 since I want to play the superior ps4 version, so when they released tlou remaster on ps4 I bought it day one, but somehow I'm always distracted by other games when I play tlou, I only played the opening chapter of the game. Now since the sequel is coming soon, I set aside my other games and finally play tlou remaster on ps4.
Man this is my favorite naughty dog games, the gameplay is super intense, the difficulty is just right (medium-hard), upgrading joel, the weapon, and crafting item is addicting, it's better than uncharted 4 and resident evil 4. The combat (melee and ranged) is more heavy like god of war rather than light like uncharted, every punch seems impactful, connected, and more brutal than god of war since tlou is more realistic, same with ranged weapon. And the story is my favorite part of the game, it's a simple horror road trip story but I like all the main characters.
This game is my favorite ps4 games, I like this game more than god of war and uncharted 4, which is quite surprising for me since I usually like more cheerful games like uncharted 4 compared to serious one like this. I can't stop thinking about the game even when I'm not playing it, I don't want to rush it, I want to play it only 1-2 hours before I sleep every night until I finished the game.
I short, yeah I understand why this game is named the best game of the decade by metacritic users. And by me too
On switch I'm playing doom 1, just got doom 1 and 2 for about $1 each.
On pc I'm playing the division 2, just got it at $3 on ubisoft pc store. Already play it on free weekend on ps4 back then but playing it at 30 fps isn't great, the game is a lot better when I play it at 60 fps on pc (like most shooter), the story is whatever but I really like the shooting in this game. Man ps5 can't come soon enough, I want to play old ps4 games at 60 fps on ps5, I hope most 3rd party updated their ps4 games for ps5
Well I finished NieR Automata during the week. Bit disappointing to be perfectly honest.
I'm going to play a mix of DOOM 2016's Arcade mode and Resident Evil Revelations 2 this weekend... Might get back to Iconoclasts that I kinda put by the wayside for NieR too!
Just reached episode 12: Bridges on Death Stranding. Also been playing Concrete Genie and really enjoying it’s chilled pace.
Maybe get Dreams installed and start learning too.
FFXV Royal Edition, Sword Art Online Hollow Realization, SAO Fatal Bullet, Code Vein. Yeah, the PSN Japanese game sale got me. 😅
I started playing Dark Souls for the first time a few days ago and people were not lying - this game is kicking my ass. I've just beaten the Taurus Demon and reached the Undead Parish after a good 7 hours, so at this rate I don't think I'm ever going to beat this game! I'm enjoying it when it's not insanely frustrating though!
I'll be on Resonance of Fate and Bayonetta. Knocked out 5 chapters of RoF so far and 100 Arena Battles (only 400 left). Really enjoying playing Bayonetta again, almost finished my first run but the port has issues.
Trophies are bugged for one and the camera options don't work for the flight sections, also the game has some major input latency spikes on trigger presses, unforgivable in a game like this but QA in gaming these days is a lost concept. Really surprised none of this was mentioned in the site review here.
playing prototype 1 and mad max 2015.
would have been playing TLOU 2 if they did not delay it
PS4 Yakuza 3
PS3 Assassin's Creed II
PSVita Dissidia 012 Duodecim FINAL FANTASY
I’ll be playing more Jedi: Fallen Order. I’m up to the Ninth sister boss fight which feels about halfway through. I’ve also gotten back into Battlefield V after a long break, it’s improved a lot since I last played and the upcoming patch looks like it’ll fix the dreaded TKK a lot too
I just picked up Dying Light on sale a few days ago and man is this game fun!
@M1359 Thanks, I'm determined to finish this game, no matter how long it takes me!
I’d like to finish MediEvil this weekend, but got sucked into Borderlands 3.
Just waiting on Nioh 2...
@jdv95 prototype series is awesome. I'm going a bit retro myself feeling the need for some good old fashioned fps so i will be playing Resistance 2 and f.e.a.r. on the ps3
(still sonys best console imo)
@b1ackjack The epilogue of RDR 2 is really strong and I really liked just living the cowboy lifestyle. Especially as who you play as.
The legendary👑 kigdom hearts the story so far.and the amazing code vein.2 of the most beautiful games 😍ever made.word up son
Luigis Mansion 3
Halo Remaster
Rocket League
Death Stranding
So far been playing Yakuza 0 again, only just passed chapter 10 but I did spend 9 hours or so just doing the real estate stuff and leveling up my fighting abilities, completing a lot of the side stories as well. Man is there so much to do in this game!
Also been playing Dust An Elysian Tail. So good, especially when you factor in one guy made the game by himself. Quite an achievement.
Finally finished Red Dead 2 after playing off and on since day 1. What an absolute classic. Arthur Morgan is my favorite character ever in a game slightly edging out Geralt although The Witcher 3 overall is my favorite game. Absolutely no desire to play anything other than FF7 Remake. Can't wait for that then Cyberpunk 2077
Still playing through GoW 2018. I'm kidding myself if I think I'll squeeze in another game too but if I do it might be NMS or 3 or 4 round of Blast in SW Battlefront 2.
Jumping between Dreams (been familiarising myself with the sculpting tools so far but about to dive into logics and animation) and my millionth playthrough of Link to the Past.
Playing some Far Cry 5 and I'm getting slightly peeved by being constantly swarmed by helicopters. Yes, I'm killing all of your guys, yes I'm burning all your stuff and yes I'm freeing everyone I'm coming across. But seriously 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yub Nub!
Yeah I'm playing as an Ewok in Star Wars BF2 amongst other things. The latest update is really good and the game in general is a lot of fun albeit in relatively short bursts.
They've worked really hard to turn this around so credit to everyone at DICE and some credit to EA as well. Not sure how much it is but if you like Star Wars but haven't got it then it's worth buying.
Also Days Gone. This is a really solid game, the story is actually pretty interesting and Deacon has grown on me. The weather effects are great (had my first snow storm the other day!), the combat is good and I'm enjoying the challenge.
Haven't taken on a horde yet though. Don't think I've got good enough weapons at present. That or I'm too chicken!
Happy gaming everyone!
@Grumps859 I'm a big fan of both characters and games.
Probably give Arthur and RDR2 the edge but there's really not much in it and I'm not going to argue with anyone that has it the other way round.
😉
Dragon Quest XI. I'm ashamed it took me so long, but that new movie that just dropped on Netflix finally spurred me to pick it up, and it's every but as great as I always knew it would be.
On PS4 I’m playing Division 2, gearing up (pun intended!) for the WoNY expansion next week. Also some Red Dead online and Darksiders Genesis. On Xbox game pass I’m playing Dead cells and have just started Two Point Hospital.
Last week I said I was nearing the end of Persona 5.
Welp, guess there's another "palace" after the 7th one, but I know this is the final one.
Got the platinum for MK 11 a few days ago and started playing XCOM 2 for the first time. Really enjoying it and it’s a welcome change of pace from the reflex exercices in the Netherrealm.
Throwing in some Surviving Mars as well for some social experiments. I’m curious about the effect of only accepting vegan alcoholics on the general productivity and morale of the colony...
Horizon Zero Dawn. I've finally discovered corruption arrows. Now the robots are fighting each other.
Fight, my pretties. Fight for my love.
I'm playing the Yakuza 3 remaster and Nioh 2 final chance trail demo or wtv it's called.
@BalsBigBrother I finished Routes A-E and once everything was finished and seeing things happen through different perspectives I was really moved by it all. I hope you end up enjoying it. It is certainly a unique gaming experience
I’ll be playinG Witcher thronebreaker . Amazing game, too bad it didn’t do that great on sales.
Also I’ll be playing a bit of days gone, which I found to be quite glitchy, specially enemy AI. The story is also quite terrible tbh
@WCB - Dust is one of my all time favourite games. It amazed me that Dean Dodrill was a traditional artist who taught himself to code specifically to make it. Guy is a legend!
@BranJ0 - Invest into Pyromancy and you'll wipe the floor with the game. To say it's massively OP is an understatement. If you're more into melee the Black Knight Halberd is a beast if you get one to drop.
Killzone: Mercenary (Vita) - Been playing Team Guerilla mostly.
Turtle's Quest (Windows Store) - Almost done...
Briquid Mini (Windows Phone) - Finally made it to the end.
@Enuo Oh yes! I'm 98 hr in and in post game. I need to go back to it once I've finished off some other games but I probably wont untill after FF7 Remake. It's really great.
More Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair for me. I've completed most of the levels now, so should be able to rescue the remaining bees before too long.
Splatoon 2. Lately I've been trying to get all the hidden items in the main single player levels. There's just a few levels left to do, then I'll likely give the game a break for a while before going back into Ranked mode and trying out the single player expansion.
Also doing plenty more Rhythm Paradise and Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
I'm still cleansing the Commonwealth of undesirables as Nora, the widow with a revenge.
I didn't like DA: Inquisition enough to keep going, so I stopped and sought refuge in something short and engaging, namely The Order 1886 Great game, wish there was a sequel in the works. Happy gaming guys!
After giving up on finding paintings in Dishonored DotO because they've been too cleverly hidden (don't want no internet video guides), I decided to continue my 1000th playthrough of the never-dying GTAV. And my 2nd playthrough of AC Odyssey. Then, probably some FIFA 20.
Another weekend where I will be playing the wonderful Atelia Ryza and the addictive My Time In Portia on Ps4 and Stardew Valley on Switch.
World End Syndrome, Samurai Shodown, and Street Fighter V for PS4.
Almost at the top of the tower in Catherine Full Body Probably finish it tonight then jump back into Days Gone!
No Man Sky and Concrete Genie have just arrived. So I’ll be continuing my play through of Death end re;Quest. I am enjoying it but it’s a game where you have to save frequently particularly in the visual novel segments. I’ve hit 10 different bad endings so far.
Attacking is turn-based but with attacks covering an area rather than just hitting one enemy and the ability to launch enemies both into each other and your allies for additional damage.
I think I’m about halfway through.
Bit of GTA4 and some time in liberty city, really enjoying some Niko Bellic time. There are few things as good as a rockstar world. Also some mario odyssey, chasing down some post game power moons with my daughter as cappy.
Had a bonus in work this month and decided to head back to pc gaming! Currently getting to grips with the division 2 on mouse and keyboard!
Dragons dogma.
High on gelato, I found myself in a Cex in Wimbledon earlier, where I came across Super Mario Land 3D for £12. So that, and Bravely Second.
Assassin's creed unity (rocks on ps4 pro, co-op is still great). And far cry 5. And rocket league of course.
Days gone, love this game so much!!
Sfv as always, spiderman, division2, surfing in dreams,
On a side note, MAN i hate the PS store, can anyone tell me why a game like home sweet home (obviously a horror game) is absent from the list when i go to ALL GAMES then filter by horror genre?!?!
The ps store is such a mess. I hope they rebuilt it from the ground up for ps5
Whatever I play it will be with a smile as liverpool finally lost...😜😜😘😘👍👍
@Deljo About blooming time. They're a very good side but it's embarrassing for the rest of the league that they're so far ahead.
Come on you Horns!
The Evil Within 2 on PS4. Yes, I’m horribly behind.
(And hi, this is my first post on Push Square!)
My parents are up this weekend dont see them that often these days and my dad has signed into his account and shown me some games hes been smashing! Ffxv and the kingdom hearts games, ones ive never been interested in but there on my radar now for the future 😊, im 40 and been gaming with my dad since he bought us a nes and this weekend has been a joy with him doing our favourite past time
Sonic Mania. I beat the game as Knuckles last year or before that but am keen to beat it with all characters eventually. I doubt I will go for chaos emeralds with everyone though. Doing it once was hard enough.
And also some Borderlands Pre Sequel. I'm keen to get that platinum before picking up 3 or even 1 again but man what a grind.
Yakuza 3 Remastered
Started playing The Sinking City and I gotta say I'm having a good time with it. It's janky and unpolished in places sure but it has it's own sense of charm about it. After listening to Call of Cthulhu audiobook again this goes along nicely
@XanderTigerclaw Welcome fellow gamer!!
Why did I do this to myself????? I bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider,Grid, and Nobunagas Sphere of Influence as part of the spring sales and saved 175 dollars. I just started Nioh a couple weeks ago and liked it so much I preordered Nioh 2. How am I going to find the time?
Bioshock 2, loving it.
Finished Bioshock 1 this weekend, found it to be a 6/10 game!
Feral Fury and Bucket Knight and Xeno Crisis
@Adol_Xin Aww but that ending, think my jaw actually dropped
