As another week concludes, we’ve learned a bunch more about the PlayStation 5 and its various features. Gone are the days where Sony kept us in the dark, because it’s had quite a rhythm these past few weeks, and we now know all of the essentials about Sony’s console. Good stuff!

I dived back in to Ghost of Tsushima to try out the new Legends mode and have ended up doing a bunch of quests in the single player campaign as well. After a break from the title, I feel revitalised and ready to liberate Tsushima once again. Maybe I’ll get my Platinum, too!
Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor
I’ve had a relatively Internet / gaming free week off, but I’m about ready to jump back in. Fall Guys is always tempting, and I want to play more of Dreams’ in-game Halloween event, which comes highly recommended.

I don’t have anything particularly pressing to play this weekend so I’ll probably just keep on chugging through Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. I’ve also downloaded a couple of games off of Xbox Game Pass that I wouldn’t mind giving a go.
Jenny Jones, Reviewer
I've really gotten into Mad Max lately. I didn't think much of the story to begin with but that ending was just... Wow. Now I just need to drive around destroying the remaining camps and taking any scrap that I can find. Once I've finished that I plan to dive into Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.
That's what we're up to this weekend, but what about you? Which games have got your attention at the moment? You know the drill: let us know in the comments section below.

Still playing Hades while sitting on the throne (Aka toilet)
Also a few missions of hitman, revisiting some levels like Paris and Sapienza. Still can't believe the level of details and amount of things to do in each level.
Playing Skyrim on PS4.
☹️
Ha, nah not really. Into the epilogue of the epic Red Dead Redemption 2. Gone from trying to take as long as possible to now moving from mission to mission in order to get to the end. I've been playing it since late August so maybe it's getting to time to move on. I'll definitely play it again at some point, hopefully an enhanced version on PS5.
Enjoy your PS gaming this weekend, folks!
😉
Still playing ghost of tsushima, it seems I already played about 65 hours, not bad considering I'm still on the 2nd island. After I finished this island I'll stop playing and wait for my ps5 to arrive to play it with smooth 60 fps 😃
On my pc, iphone and ipad, I played genshin impact, I love the game but playing it with 60 fps option on my iphone xr make my phone quite warm/hot and the game is eating my phone batteries like no others app 😂, it's better on the ipad though, and playing it on pc is the best.
I wish the game is playable with 60 fps day one on ps5 launch, and cross-save with ios. It will be really cool to play it on ps5 on my room, continue it on phone when I'm outside, and playing it on ipad on the bed.
About a dozen hours into 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim. While the plot is going over my head a bit, it is an excellent game!
Playing a lot of civilisation 6 on PC. While on playstation, I intend to continue with the new game + on Battle Chasers Nightwar, and have started the download of Medieval from PS now. Have cancelled renewal on xbox gamepass for pc, may try a few of the games before subscription ends.
Still slinking around Vampyr, gobbling up rats and making some headway in Kingdom of Amalur. Just passing time until Valhalla arrives next month.
Asura’s wrath of all things. Ps now is a wonderful thing when you’re in the process of moving and you don’t have your console at hand
Darkest dungeon and persona 5.watching tales from the hood 3 tonight and watch some retro horror. Movies nightmare on elm streets and some old school sitcom comedy good times.the jefferson and Sanford and sons.and tomorrow watch my Pittsburgh Steelers get another win.word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word up son
Need for Speed Payback, with its cheesy story, and '70s road movie style radio narrator, good game
RDRII keeps stealing my attention from any game I try to focus on but...still on my 2nd run of TLOUII, gameplay is so satisfying. Still adventuring in the lovely Genshin Impact. Plus some Monster Hunting in MHWorld. Then it's short sessions with these games: AC Odyssey, GoW, FIFA 20, PES 2020 plus any other.
@Col_McCafferty I feel like you still went pretty fast. I started my 3rd run way before you started your 2nd but you're already in epilogue. Have you been crafting enough outfits at the Trapper? They're extremely detailed plus they give you more game time hunting for materials. I wonder if you've found those Hermits living in solitude? Trust me I'm still finding new things. Even found me some dreadlocked scarred scrawny Tennessee Walker I never before saw.
Maybe some Genshin Impact or Shadows of War, although I'm having a really hard time getting into it. I platted Shadows of Mordor but maybe I will find a rhythm. Tonight I'm streaming Marvel's Avengers with friends. Running some tachyon Rifts and maybe doing a mega Hive.
Alternating between Tokyo Xanadu ex+, which I hope to plat before my PS Now runs out in Jan, and Titan Quest, which I definitely won’t.
For the third week running it's Genshin Impact on PS4 and Severed on the Vita. Hopefully see Vasyl Lomachenko put on a boxing clinic against Teofimo Lopez in the early hours, then wake up for some Ghost of Tsushima coop with a couple of friends tomorrow. Happy gaming all!
Darksiders III. I was pleasantly surprised it is a souls-like game. Very solid game so far. Super enjoyable.
Playing left 4 dead 2 on Xbox one s & modern warfare on ps4 Pro.
I've finally decided to make use of my Xbox One S and play some NieR: Automata which is on Gamepass. I finished the main story on Ghost of Tsushima last night, might download the MP and try it out but I feel really lukewarm about the game. It looks gorgeous and the gameplay is fun enough but the game is lacking something. I've also restarted Zelda: BOTW on Switch and I'm going to try to stick with it this time and clear it
I tried out Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima last night, and I can safely say without hyperbole that it might be the most enjoyable multiplayer experience I've had in a very long time. That's definitely the big one I'll be playing this weekend when I have time.
@gamiller1978
Battle Chasers is such a fantastic game. Found it on PS Now snd so glad I did. Unfortunately I got burnt out a quarter of the way through new game plus, but I might get back to it at some point.
I downloaded Medievil too but, after positive first impressions, it became a little dull after the first couple of bosses.
@TheArt Ha, I've definitely done a lot more things this time round (met the brother & sister at the pig farm, run into more of the Klan, actually found some dinosaur bones) but I'm not really that bothered about the legendary animals. I think the key is to get as much stuff done as possible during chapters 2/3/4 because after that it's all about the story and some key stranger missions.
I'm well on course to finish this playthrough with a much higher completion percentage.
Anyway, at some point you've got to finish and I think I'll do so this coming week if not this weekend.
Then what? Not sure, probably Resi 2 for something completely different. I won't be getting a PS5 for a while nor do I have the funds to buy new games so I'll probably end up playing one of if not both of Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man.
I'm making my way through Tearaway Unfolded. I regret not playing it sooner!
I had the original Diablo on PS1 about 18/19 years ago, so I decided to finally go about completing that game, after downloading it on GoG. Took about 10 hours, but enjoyed my time with it!
Now I've got the temptation to play Diablo 2, as it's the only one of the three titles I haven't played.
Just bought a Pro controller, so I've returned to Super Mario 3D All-Stars on my Switch.
Played a bit of the legends mode on GoT enjoyed it so far but, need something to keep me going to ps5 now, been tempted to get dragon quest so might get that later, hate when I get these gaming lulls of not knowing what to play. Think I just need to get something big that I haven't played and just stick with it, did try and get into far cry 5 again but couldn't get into it, and tried control again last night but same thing just couldn't get into it, think I might just get dragon quest tbh and hopefully that sticks and do me until ps5 launch.
I'm tackling Bloodbornes Old Hunters DLC. I'm specifically trying to distract myself from my noisy neighbours in the apartment above me. Lady Maria will be my salvation this night!
Bravely Second, got back into it recently and having a blast - I’m going to finish it this time!
I watched some Hades reviews, it looks really cool but I am not sure I want it for Switch. Hopefully it’ll come to PS4/PS5?
@kyleforrester87 Out of curiosity, why wait for a PS4 port of Hades? Unless you're just really into trophies and/or don't like playing on other consoles when you don't have to.
Maneater mostly. Truly shocked at how much I’m enjoying it
@Ralizah I don’t really like the Pro controller for faster games, generally they just seem more comfortable and responsive on a PS controller to me. Also I guess it would be nice to play in 4K!
Still, I won’t rule out getting it on Switch if I find myself needing a new game.
@kyleforrester87 Fair points.
It seems unlikely to me that Hades wouldn't go to Xbox/PS eventually. In general, MOST games go to competing platforms with time unless they're bought and paid for by the manufacturer and/or internally developed exclusives.
A slightly delayed late port of the game in the launch window of the PS5/XSeX wouldn't surprise me, to be honest.
Been pulled into Super Hot:Mind Control Delete so will finish that off and maybe some more Star Wars Squadrons. Also chop away at GOW:Chains of Olympus on PS3!
Get Even! This game is wat better than the 4/10 it got on this website!
Well i was hoping to spend the weekend playing ghost of tsushima but my brother nabbed my disc and wont bring it back just yet sooooo...its pga2k21 and a spot of warzone for me..
@Ralizah could be one for me to enjoy on PS5 when pickings are a bit slim. It’ll be Transistor all over again!
Finally plowing through Divinity: Original Sin. Unrelated!: Has anyone been able to preorder the Deluxe edition of Planet Coaster for PS5? I haven't found any evidence that it actually exists.
I'll be continuing through the campaign of Ghost of Tsushima. I have nothing to add that hasn't been said already. It's a beautiful game.
I also started playing Final fantasy 14 online with the free trial. It's a really fun game, and I can see myself putting a lot of time into it if it wasn't for the monthly fees. Maybe some FIFA thrown in there as well, but have a great weekend everyone!
Continue in Crash 4. It's actually starting to get challenging in the last set of levels but I love the challenge and welcome it with open arms.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and Yakuza 0 is my main focus gaming wise. I also want to get the platinum trophy in Crash 3 Warped. I've got the hard trophies already, it's just a few easy trophies left to get. And I'd like to try out the Bravely Default 2 demo now that I've completed Bravely Second.
Crash 4 and Ghost of Tsushima: Legends!
I've started a second playthrough of Arthur's story in RDR2. It's still absolutely brilliant.
Danganronpa V3 and DOOM 2016 for the most part. I might mix in some Dreams as a distraction and maybe try out the Ghost of Tsushima MP.
@kyleforrester87 Me too-I really want Hades on PS4. Eventually I will play it on my Switch if I must-no way I am missing out on a game from Supergiant-but the controls on PS4 are always so much more comfortable to me.
If I had a gaming Christmas wish, it would be news of a PS Hades port........
I am about 10 hours into Days Gone. So far: Meh. But I will give it some more time this weekend to click.
Going to be playing lots of 13 Sentinels again.I'm about 25 hours in and absolutely loving it..definitely going for the Platinum on this one.
Not played Tokyo Xanadu Ex for a few days so will go back to that as I will be just starting the seventh chapter.
Still not tried that Ghost Of Tshushima dlc yet so may give it a go.
On Switch I'll be deep into Paper Mario..about 25 hours in.
Netflix tonight I have one more episode of The Haunting Of Bly Manor left to watch..it's 'Perfectly Splendid!'
Not alot unfortunately. Ive had gamers block for the past month where i just dont fancy playing anything at all. Got lots of amazing games spanning the ps4, switch, ps3, wiiU and snes mini but every time i boot something up i just sit there staring at the screen and just think"i really cant be bothered" then end up turning it off. Quite annoying really.
I'm actually playing though the Witcher 3 again. I love that game!
PS4-Vanquish, Street Fighter V, Samurai Shodown
Switch- Monster Hunter Generations, Smash Bros Ultimate, Animal Crossing
Sega Genesis Mini- Phantasy Star 4
Restarted No Mans Sky this weekend with the update. I will never EVER tire of playing that game in VR.
@playstation1995 I bought Darkest Dungeon in the latest sale after reading you going on about it and all the hype. It's amazing ! Bloody hard but a superb game, great atmosphere too. Thanks man !
Darkest Dungeon which is my latest drug of choice. It's fantastic, can't believe I've not bought it until now
Also picked up Far Cry New Dawn for £5 and enjoying it much more than 5
Crusader Kings III on laptop which is taking over my life !
Have a great weekend all ♥️♥️
@Eadgar it's the best in the series by a country mile !
@KingPev. Haha thanks playa.i play all the indie games and to me darkest dungeon is the best.its higly addicted.even sid shuman loves that game also.when playing it get a healer or 2 to help out.word up son
@KingPev. The announcer make the game even better.when you strike someone he say back to the pit.etc.excellent game word up son
Still ploughing on with hollow knight! Think everyone else from the game club forum has finished but still really enjoying hallownest and the combat. Its unequivocally one of those games where you levelling up is more important than the character levelling up.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Made it to Death Mountain, time for Dodongo's Cavern!
The Walking Dead: Season 2 (Vita) - Just started on episode 1.
AlphaJax (Windows Phone) - Playing here and there.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Is that right?I never knew that...not sure I wanted to now either lol Good job I only have one episode left.
Yeah Haunting Of Hill House was awesome and scary but although this series isant as good and hardly scary at all (in my opinion)I really love the story telling.Hopefully they do a third season.
Been playing Genshin Impact for the last couple of weeks and I feel like I'm starting to see that paywall on the horizon, still good fun to explore though! and just bought The Surge 2 for a 10er and loving how they incorporated some aggro incentive into the combat system compared to the first.
@playstation1995 yeah the whole style of the game is brilliant, even the difficulty
Playing Inside and Luigi's Mansion 2. Recently finished Layers of Fear and Dark Souls 3. Trying to clean up my backlog before the PS5 hits.
GoT still. I’ll probably finish it this week.
After that I might start RDR2 but worried it won’t compare to Tsushima
@KingPev Really enjoying it. I love the series, the first two were great games, in the action-adventure genre. I was expecting Darksiders III to be similar, but was unexpectedly surprised to be playing a Souls-like game.
The whole series is amazing and unfortunately overlooked. They should receive more praise.
Will try Darksiders Genesis once I am done with III.
The Witcher 3 GOTY, Cat Quest 2 and The Outer Worlds
Finally playing through Greedfall. Combat leaves a bit to be desired for me but the world building, role playing, crafting and general flow of the game has been enjoyable thus far. There is a lot of dialogue but it’s well written and decently acted. Excited to see the overarching narrative play out.
Wolfenstein Youngblood Just have a few more trophies to finish up. Hate its the last Wolfenstein I get to play. But stuff happens😔.
@Eadgar I started Genesis on GamePass in the week. Only about 3hrs in but enjoying it so far. Very Diablo like but full of Darksiders lore. It's far far better than I expected
Star Wars Squadrons - just can’t get into it. Unfortunately.
Fortnite, Fortnite, Fortnite. Close to getting Gold Foil Iron Man skin. Woo! Hoping to get a few Rainbow skins before the battle pass is over.
Fall Guys - I need 3 more crowns to unlock Sonic‘s ass. Oh man, I hate this game so much. Like actually detest it. It infuriates me like no other game before - but I need to reach level 26 in less than 24 hours and I’m currently level 18. Aghhhhhhhh!!!! If one more person grabs me, I might actually die of rage 🤣
On the finale of judgment. Neglected the story due to side quests but glad to be in the final run. The story is great, I love to hate a baddie.
Going back to inFamous - second son for a second playthrough with bad karma and platinum it. Such a good game, and really looks good after all this time, better than most games coming out in a while.
@KingPev Glad to hear that. I look forward to my playthrough of it in the near future.
I’m playing the waiting game for my Ps5 to arrive November 12th
Hitman 2 and Halo 1
Ghost of Tsushima Legends!
I feel like I've entered a holding pattern until PS5 drops.
Been doing dailies in Genshin Impact and hunting down chests and challenges for more AR experience. Also working my way through the Bozja Front in FFXIV.
I'm tempted to jump into 13 Sentinels for some delicious weeb sci-fi melodrama.
But mostly I'm sat here counting the days until I can get my arse handed to me in Demon's Souls... I'm strangely looking forward to see how BP has handled character creation because Oh Boy the original was a monster factory just like every From game.
Brawling away on Fist of the North Star New Game+. Around 80% in-game completion and 85% Trophies. Maybe 1 or 2 Trophies but prolly that s is all I can manage. Anyways, great game!
F1 2018, Dirt rally 2.0 and TLOU2. Making very little progress in any. The next game I play when I finish TLOU2 is going to be either Bloodborne or HZD.
Working through Little Nightmares
Dayz and Vigor on game pass, Ghost on PS4.
Well the weekend is pretty much over, this weekend I jumped back into God of War after finishing the story 2 years ago, reached the top of Muspelheim only to be destroyed over and over by Gondul, need to get the fighting perfected again. On the plus side I beat Royal Jelly in Ni No Kuni!
@Insightful - Yeah, Loma did nothing for half the fight and not much else in the rest. Congrats to Teofimo Lopez. To be fair though Loma has no business fighting at 135, needs to go back down to 126 or 130. Not taking anything away from Lopez though, it was a solid win regardless. Hope Teo steps up and fights the likes of Taylor and Prograis now. Big Crawford fan myself but he's fought nobody at 147. He needs to get some names on his resume.
Finished Life is Strange 2 and been playing Titan Fall 2 since it was £4.99 in the sales 😎 Can't wait for PS5, already moved all my games to external SSD in preparation.
@Insightful - Spence isn't the only 147 out there. Porter, Thurman, Ugas, Lipinets etc. We'll see if Spence still has anything after the Garcia fight. Crawford wouldn't get props for beating a dude coming off a car crash, he needs testing first. I do think he might move up after Garcia and duck Crawford though.
As for Loma being done, nah. He's done at 135 perhaps but the guy could still mop up at 126/30.
