The weeks are just flying by, aren’t they? If this were a normal year, we’d be beginning to think about E3 2020 right about now. Of course, it’s not a normal year, and we have a more exciting event on the horizon: PlayStation 5’s hotly anticipated reveal event. Here’s what we’re playing this weekend.

I already told you I’ve been playing The Last of Us: Part II earlier in the week, and now I can confirm that I’ve finished it. I’ve started the adventure all over again, though – but unfortunately, I can’t tell you more until Monday, when you can expect a few hands-on impressions to drop.
Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor
I’m at least half way through Ghost Giant, a super charming PSVR title, so I’ll try and wrap that one up. I’d also really like to tackle Dishonored 2 before The Last of Us: Part II arrives. Surely I can beat it in 20 days?
Liam Croft, Senior Staff Writer
It’s very much the same for me as past weeks. I’ll be continuing my Death March playthrough of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

I have a long weekend this weekend, and I will be spending the whole thing with Cloud playing Final Fantasy VII Remake. I’ve never played the original, but I’m really enjoying getting to know the story and all of the characters, and I can definitely see why the PS1 game is so well loved!
That's all from us this weekend, but what's keeping you busy? As always, we want to know what's on your gaming itinerary in the comments section below.

Move over Final Fantasy, it’s Reyn time and I’m really feeling it this weekend with Xenoblade Chronicles on Switch!
Well haven’t gone back to Bloodborne after failing to do much more than tickle The Watchdog Pooch on defiled chalice. May give it another shot. Sort of killing time now while I wait for Last of Us 2. Maybe some more Wipeout 2048 on vita and start a smaller backlog game. Possibly the Sexy Brutale
Continuing my adventures through ye olde MMO's Final Fantasy XI and Phantasy Star Online 2... I might also squeeze in some Minecraft Dungeons.
Well I'm finally playing The Last of Us for the first time ever.
So far I'm enjoying it and those Clickers are damn unsettling!
Have a good weekend everyone!
so if sammy is already playing through it again after just finishing it,that bodes well for the review!
tnx for the unintentional hint sammy!
btw i'm still playing jedi fallen order. that bat thing bossfight.
I've very recently started Ni No Kuni 2 which has been in my backlog so long I forgot it was even in there.Don't understand why people didant enjoy it,cuz I'm absolutely loving it!Which reminds me I really must check out the film on Netflix.
Lego DC Villains,Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are also going to be part of my plans this weekend.
Stay Safe all.
On PS4- Bioshock (my 3rd playthrough, still as amazing as ever)
On PC- Race Driver: Grid (2008). Much better than GRID (2019).
Waiting on PSN Days of Play sale to finally snag Death Stranding
Happy gaming guys! Stay frosty (speaking of next week, of course )
Within the last week I've finished both Days Gone and AC Odyssey, got my first platinum for the latter.
Started BioShock 2 a couple days ago but looking for a 'big' game to go alongside it.
Torn between Death Stranding and Jedi Fallen Order. The former is a big open world that will probably take.me the rest of the summer to complete whilst the latter is more linear but still offers opportunities to explore plus more of a challenge.
Not sure which one to go for.
Replaying the story for Red Dead 2, also starting Xenoblade on the switch.
Salt and sanctuary . mutant year zero road to eden.and shadow tactics blade of the showgun.3 excellent games.word life word to your mother.word is bond.word ☝ up son
I've dusted off the old fat PS3 just so I can play through the criminally underappreciated Dragon Age 2. For me, the sarcastic Marion Hawke is right up with Femshep as one of BioWare's best protags.
Sticking with the BioWare love, I'll also be playing Mass Effect Andromeda again because I'm in the mood for some cringey party banter.
Still playing ff7 remake, time to save aerith from the evil shinra, but first I have to do all the sidequest first
Pretty much copy and paste of last week for me. Continuing my Ultra hard, new game + on HZD. Not been too tricky so far but just starting to get to the point where I think it's time to equip the Shieldweaver.
Hopefully some more RDR 2 online with a mate and maybe give COD WW2 a go depending how things go.
Lots of old Sega stuff, just finished Panzer Dragoon Saga so now I'm onto Skies of Arcadia and some arcade stuff like Daytona, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Crazy Taxi and such
A Plague Tale Innocence on GamePass, only a couple of missions in but great so far.
Call Of Duty 4 Remastered on PS4, still the best campaign of them all
Gonna try and finish Control and the DLC ..great game but some tough difficulty spikes ggrrrr. But yeah the game of 2019
Levelling my new healer in ESO whilst I wait for Greymoor to drop
A few days ago I saw Yu-Gi-Oh Legacy of the Duelest: Link Evolution was on sale for $27 and I jumped immediately haven't played anything else since. Will try to get back to clean up on DC Villains this weekend and mix in some Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville.
Continue the grinding lands in Monster Hunter Iceborne
Also try to bite some humans, seals, and whatnot in Maneater
Have a good weekend all!
You started playing TLOU2 earlier in the week and already finished...is that a speedrun or is the game short.. I know you might not be able to say more but now it's making me even more indecisive on spending £55 on a week's long game tsk.
Anyway I've gotten into MHWorld again after about a month break and finally finally beat that aggressive Odogaron and crafted a wonderful armor with its pelt. The game gives you free alpha armor to use but I'm not using it, I don't get why some games do that, it's just silly. You deprive a new player the chance of experiencing the game as it's meant and craft all kinds of equipment by making all those equipment look useless with the alpha armor's presence...WHY? They say it's meant to get you up to Iceborne quickly but who said I want to get to Iceborne quickly...
Then of course more RDRII, my dishonourable Arthur's got a pretty long moustache. The hair customisations in this game is unrivaled. Continuing my Champions League in FIFA 20. Some Skyrim, Fallout 4, Dishonored DotO probably, LA Noire...
@Wazeddie22 A lot of us loved it
Some of the complains were legit, though. The lack of familiars (or at least limited role), the lack of voice acting most of the time, the story not being as moving...
Overall, I though it was fantastic. I played over 100 hours. Getting those DLC trophies was brutal.
Yesterday I started playing Boku No Hero Academia (My Hero One's Justice) and I have to say, it's pretty weird, but perhaps in a good way
Playing Gears Of War 2 on Xbox One S & Last Of Us Remastered on PS4 Pro.
Found myself going back to Horizon Zero Dawn, which I started in 2017 but never completed. Bought the version with the DLC last year and may actually plan to complete the game this time.
Turbo Grafx 16 Mini- Castlevania Rondo of Blood, Bonks Revenge, and R Type.
Neo Geo Mini- King of Fighters 98, 00, 02
PS4- Samurai Shodown
Switch- Shantae and Animal Crossing
PC : fate visual novel , to prepare for watching the anime
On PS4 : thinking of starting the witcher 3 complete edition , or uncharted drake collection , for the moment just playing steamworld dig and life is strange (just started that one)
Playing Control, which I've downloaded via PS Now and maybe an episode or two of Phoenix Wright.
Dragon quest 11, in act 2 bumbling around and some ESO as I wanna get ready for the next expansion.
I've just finished the first ending of Nights of Azure, now onto the NG+ content. Not a bad little game at all. Might play some Ni No Kuni remastered but that game has zero respect for the players time. I finished it including the secret boss in 40hrs, since then I've spent another 20hrs battling the games' abysmal RNG for captures and rare drops and I'm nowhere near done. Awful post game grind.
@Rudy_Manchego - Stick at it mate, don't let that Defiled puppy get the better of you!
I find it really interesting to see the huge range of different types and ages of games people are playing!
I’ll be starting Brothers: A tale of two sons, and maybe some Cities Skylines.
Okay okay, I've said this the last few issues of WAYP, but I think this weekend is finally the weekend I finish Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Going to finish Link's Awakening, then get back to Red Dead 2. Streets of Rage 4 is calling me too.
Shantae and the Seven Sirens
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition
I'm very satisfied as a gamer right now.
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (Switch) - Just starting out in Fyrestone.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Might be a bad idea to play two open world games at the same time...
Monster Burner (Windows Phone) - Still plugging away at this.
I did virtually no gaming during the week so it’s the same as last weekend: I’ll be playing more Trails of Cold Strel on the Vita. I am still reconnecting America in Death Stranding. I don’t think I’m close enough to finish it this weekend, but if I am, my next PS4 game might be either FF7R or Hitman, it all depends on how much time I have.
Started Xenoblade Chronicles on switch. Didn’t play it first time round so looking forward to it.
Also got the BioShock collection on switch. I’m a massive fan of them so being able to play them anywhere is a huge deal to me.
And I’ve started the last of us to get ready for part 2.(only missing 2 trophies so might try and get them)
Some Modern Warfare with friends, and might finish up the collectibles in Man Eater. Pretty chill really, its nice🙂
Witcher 3 and Splatoon 2. Enjoying the expansions for both of them.
Starting The Witcher 3 again. Never played it on PS4 just on nvidia shield tablet without expansions. Still have to finish Red Dead 2 but every time I hit chapter 4 I start to lose interest.
Not playing much this weekend it's too nice, might play a bit of snooker 19 and some streets of rage 4. Been tempted with maneater, something to play before last of us part 2, oh man can't wait to play that, even if the pub opened again on 19th of June I'd be staying in lol.
Just started the last of us remastered today on my pro, to prepare me for part 2 and to see what it is like with ps4 Pro enhancements. I designed to play it at 60 frames as it does seem to look better, i currently only have a 1080p TV anyway but some games look really good with supersampling. Will probably get a new TV around the time of getting ps5. This is actually my third play of the last of us as I already played it twice on ps3 lol
I'm now playing Final Fantasy IX. VIIR made me want to replay XII and I've nearly done everything on that game, just beat Yiazmat at x4 speed which was pretty crazy looking. That then made me want to play IX again. Love both of them, they've aged well.
Got a PS4 pro last week, currently playing Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash. Awsome game
Im in a bit of a rut right now. I knew FF7R was going to do that but still- here i am. Been running some Tecmo Super Bowl and Mega Man on the good ol NES. Adding a bit of Valkyria Chronicles Remaster in. Still a super charming game i just cant get hooked again for the reason above i guess😐
@Shigurui No Fear mate - had another bash and down to 20% health. This puppy will be mine...
... then another week on the defiled Amygdala!
Battle vs Chess, Cod WW2 and Pes 19.
Good Times.
Hopefully a bit more gta4 and some concrete genie. Seems very charming so far, though hdr being missed from concrete genie is a damn shame
DOOM Eternal, at the last boss and it's been amazing. not quite as good as DOOM 2016 but its still a hell of a game, challenging but a blast.
May try Nier Automata
@TheArt same as the first then I played it over a couple of nights and while it was good I thought it was short. But it did have mp so that helped!
This weekend I'm back onto dragon age inqustion. Nice to go back to a game after a year and find you op character waiting to tear s**t up.
@darksoul77 if it's at least 20hrs that'd be good, the first was 15hrs.
Download weekend.
Snake Pass, Life is Strange 2 and Streets of Rage 4
Hi there gamers. Since I have finished FFVII Remake this saturday I guess it still counts. Besides that, I´ll continue Empress Emily story in Dishonored 2 full ghost, no kill playtrough and go back to Assassins Creed Origins, now with the season passto explore. Then Odissey...... Eventualy. Still undecided wich character I´m going to choose. Any thoughts good people? Cheers and happy gaming to us all.
@naruball If it's as long as 100 hours then I'm not even gonna think of the dlc yet!lol
Gotta admit the the strange lack of voice acting in places doesant bother me too much.But then I've only played 3 hours so far so things may change.
Finishing AC Odyssey then grabbing Xenoblade DE!
@playstation1995 you were playing them last weekend ! 🤣🤣
@KingPev. Yep.3 addicted games.haha.word up son
@b1ackjack that is good to hear. I am starting to get a bit bored. Dont know how far I am in it. I mean it's not bad but I think it's around a 6/10. Hopefully it picks up a bit. Going to give it another few hours to see if I proceed or bin it for another day
Finished Journey in one session friday night. Was a great experience! Then last night I starter on Drake's Deception. It is nice so far, game starts a lot slower then Among Thieves!
@Rudy_Manchego - Nice, that last 20% is the hardest as he gets much more aggressive. Saw based weapons are a must for him due to their Beast damage bonus and he's weakest to arcane or bolt buffs. Good luck mate!
Assassin's Creed Unity...I'm at 95% completion, it's a great game
@TheArt I've heard the game is 30-40 hours.
@DonJorginho Would be wonderful if that's normal play time and not a completionist(finding all collectibles, upgrading equipment etc) play time.
@TheArt well considering the game is 30 chapters long compared to the first games 12 and the chapters are larger than ever before and have side missions hidden within (dubbed side scenarios) I think it will be a meaty game.
Got to remember Sammy has had about 2 weeks ish to just play TLOU 2 and nothing else so it's about right that he's finished his first run, I pre-ordered mine off ShopTo and am still as excited no matter the length as I like to trade in my titles after a few playthroughs.
@DonJorginho Mmm well here's hoping it's the longest ND game ever made. Beautiful worlds like that, I don't want them ending quickly. I feel ND might just try openworld on PS5, Guerilla did it, they should be more than capable.
@Wazeddie22 haha. Don't worry. The DLC took forever to beat. The base game was much shorter. I think its length was perfect.
