For many of our American readers, this will be your last weekend before your PlayStation 5 arrives, which is insanely exciting news. Of course, there’s still absolutely tons to play on the PlayStation 4, so we’re sure you’ll find a way to pass the time. Shall we WAYP?

I’ve been busy with the PS5 for weeks, but now my attention actually turns back to PS4 titles – at least temporarily. I’m currently reviewing Planet Coaster: Console Edition, and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it these past few days.
Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor
There’s always time for one more PS4 review before next-gen arrives, right? I’ll be checking out Lair of the Clockwork God this weekend, an indie game that blends together point and click adventure with platforming. Other than that, I’ve sort of reached the point where I’m now just waiting for PS5. Can’t wait to get started!
Liam Croft, Senior Staff Writer
I’ve got Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to keep me company this weekend, so I’ll be playing that and probably not a lot else.
What will be keeping you busy on your final weekend before the PS5 launches? Are you planning to start up something new, or will you be sticking to tried and trusted titles from your catalogue? Let us know in the comments section below.

Dirt 5 here, proper “meh” game IMHO ☹️
Hollow Knight from this month ps plus. How the heck did I miss this game? Such an awesome game both in terms of gameplay and aesthetics.
Getting back into Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise, and practicing combos in Street Fighter V. Phantasy Star 4 on the Sega Genesis Mini.
Tales of Beseria quite good.
Watching my undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowgirls.i mean 🐄 cowboys.pittsburgh Steelers best nfl franchise ever.playing 2 of the greatest games ever.in 👹 monster hunter world and hollow knight voidheart edition.word is bond.word life.word to your mother.word ☝ up son
I played :
1. Valthirian Arc : Hero School Story PS4
2. Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airu Mura G PSP
3. Para Para Paradise PS2
4. Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix PS1
Deeply exploring GoW on my 3rd run. Such a delight finding a whole lot of hidden stuff you missed. It's quite disappointing the game doesn't encourage you to explore as you can easily beat it by just going straight forward and making it seem short. It's one hefty lengthy game if you're trying to find it all. Maybe Ragnarok should be harder and push players to explore. Then of course it's the usual suspects, TLOUII, RDRII, Genshin Impact and whatever.
Tried the Dragon Age XI Demo and I don't think I like the look of the characters too much. I don't really like how it's half cartoony half realistic environments. And I'm tired of MUTE protagonists in these games! Enough of mute protags, it's 2020 for goodness sake! Fallout 4 was fine with the preset voices.
Finishing up some old games. Dead Rising 2 + Case West, and Job Simulator. Getting a Series X on Tuesday, and since I never owned an Xbox One I’m so excited to play through the Forza Horizon games.
@Spoonman-2 why?
Finishing Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney trilogy, and I don't want it to end. After that something small like Call of Cthulhu as I'm expecting AC Valhalla over the next couple of days which will keep me busy for a while
@playstation1995 Ha, are Steelers fans the equivalent of Liverpool fans in the UK? All mouthy and in your face? Maybe it's just you. 😜
Yeah two narrow wins, unbeaten but still think the Chiefs are the best team in the AFC and you'll lose at least two in the regular season. Enjoy your gaming weekend though and yeah, should definitely go 8-0 this weekend.
Finally finished ghost of tsushima second island, I'll play the rest on ps5 if I can buy ps5 this year. Act 3 is quite somber, I don't think this adventure will end well for jin
Resi 2, got to a certain location (don't wish to say much but it stinks 😜) and getting ready to be terrified. It's a really good game, can only play it in relatively short bursts as my poor heart can't take it!
Started Shadow of War during the week (now I'm finally done with RDR2) and so far it's....alright, nothing spectacular but killing orcs is always good fun. Maybe it would've been better as a more linear game a la God of War. It is what it is and it's 'free' so shouldn't complain too much!
Enjoy yourselves people and stay indoors!
😁
I'm playing the "lets refresh multiple news sites compulsively" game and maybe some hollow knight but I've it a bit of a wall with the watcher knights. Very tempted to start alan wake on the 360 to mix it up. Happy weekend people
Parkouring around London looking for potential Dedsec recruits. Tranquillising animals for blood samples in good old 1899.
Finished act 1 of CS4. Taking a break this weekend to play "shorter" games from my backlog. Thinking Gris and Deracine.
Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´m gonna be divided between the following:
Ghost of Tsushima Legends in co-op with some friends.
Who knew it would be this much fun;
Doing my 3rd run of the AMAZING Hollow Knight, this time on PS4;
And some more relaxation in Genshin Impact. Not since Warframe have I enjoyed a free to play game in a such a way.
Cheers, stay safe out there and happy gaming weekend to us all
Gonna replay Divinity 2, pure quality game. Also going to give Wargroove a go. Probably not the most popular choices 😅
GT Sport for me, haven't played it for 3 years, and it seems they were busy improving the solo game in that time
More Trails of Cold Steel IV, a slow start but its getting good now. Also Hades on the Switch, which is also very good.
I'm playing sekiro, been stuck on the guardian ape since last night, put it on this morning and nearly beat him first go he is bloody hard on the 2nd time, can manage get him down first time pretty easy, hopefully will get him in a bit lol, was flying through up to this point, lol. Still loving it though.
Edit. Just beat the f****r now breath haha, wow he was annoying, was one hit away from dying and managed to parry all his hits and broke his posture tense times lol.
@Spoonman-2 ah really why what's it like, I have it pre ordered on ps5 it looks really good.
Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen. Can’t believe I missed it the first time! Great game.
I'm about 5 or so trophies from the platinum in Ghost of Tsushima, so hopefully I can get that this weekend.
If I do, then maybe I'll hop back into the Tony Hawk Remake.
@AFCC
@Daleaf
I wanted the game for 60fps on the pro
Unfortunately putting on 60fps for me creates screen tearing, pop up, and at points a feel of being under water (may sound strange, just my impression).
Have tried all manner of tv settings, to no effect..
Playing in 30fps the game is fine, but again IMHO slow and boring 🤠
Hopefully be better on the PS5 in a couple of weeks
Playing some PVP in ESO and a few vet trials
I'll be painting Kairic Acolyte and Pug from Silver Tower at work and morning I'll try to finish Final Fantasy X (stuck inside Sin battling Seymour)
My PS5 copies of Spiderman Miles Morales and Planet Coaster strangely arrived today, but sadly can't play any of them yet as I need a console! (only 12 days to go!)
Might play Life is Strange 2 as I bought that a while back but remains untouched.
Well it's a second lockdown stint of 4 weeks so treat myself to Dirt 5 and NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered. So far Dirt 5 is incredible, graphics are stunning. Who needs PS5 ?
Will also try to finish Tales of Berseria ( been saying that forever !) and a bit of MK11 Aftermath expansion with some Darkest Dungeon and FF14 thrown in for good measure
I'm gonna to make this weekend last 4 weeks ! 🤣
Have a good weekend guys ♥️♥️
Rocksmith and need to finish up Destroy All Humans. Got the platinum in Wolfenstein Youngblood yesterday so thats back on the shelf.
Last couple of weeks before PS5, so I'm playing Crash Bandicoot trilogy on switch - I have a love hate relationship with it, it's nostalgic, looks fun, but I hate it! Lol
I've got it and not played the second and third games, so that's my weekend (between my hangover, looking after my little one, and a walk in the park) 🤣
I'm playing more Yakuza 0, possibly getting towards the end of its story. Also playing some more Yuppie Psycho, and hunting some monsters in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
@Col_McCafferty. Yes it is haha.pittsburgh Steelers fans are like roaches.they are everywhere.haha.bedt nfl franchise ever.word up son
@FinneasGH. One of the best games ever.a classic.i play dragon dogma on my ps3 now im still playing it on my ps4 pro.word up son
Dmc collection. Love the 1st game so much despite how old it is lol
Rocket League... Sigh... One day I'll play something else.. Maybe..
Ghost of Tsushima and Hollow Knight.
I'm having one of those great spells where you're playing two games which are both so good, you can't decide which to put on
@Spoonman-2 i kinda want the game but for PS5. My ps4 has done it's job...
@AFCC
Agreed...
Nothing for me.
Tinkering with my Gaming PC (as much fun as playing games on it 😊) before my next batch of games come in
Yakuza like a Dragon
Miles Morales
AC Valhalla
SackBoy
New hardware and tons of games (regardless if you get a PS5 or stick with your PS4)... Good times
Enjoying My Time at Portia that’s just been put on PS Now. Couple of tips for anyone just starting: go to options and turn the game speed right down, and mine stone in the abandoned mines and exchange it for wood at A&G construction instead of trying to just pick a few pieces of wood up every day.
@playstation1995 Ha, that's what I thought.
😜
Pats have the same, only one ahead of both the Cowboys and Niners. Then there is Green Bay with four and so many Championships prior to the birth of the Super Bowl era.
It's tough competition but methinks you might be a tad biased.
😉
Anyway, enjoy your weekend mate and your team's inevitable win over Dallas!
Started a playthrough of Spider-man on Ultimate difficulty just for a challenge. The dodge button is needed far more this time around!
Working towards AR 43 on Genshin Impact (the grind is real), some Soul Sacrifice on Vita and a bit of Forza Horizon 4. Happy gaming all!
Well I just finished the endurance co op trophies in rise of the tomb raider so I may go back to the 1p endurance game in that soon. Otherwise more Cat Quest 2 and then the Survivor mode in either Rise or Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
I finished and got the Platinum for the excellent 13 Sentinels recently so just lately been putting a lot of game time into Mad Max that I'm loving.
Also finished Tokyo Xanadu Ex which I really enjoyed but to be honest like the Trails series it really started to outstay it's welcome and the fact the girls have to laugh in every sentence got really annoying.I still have the option to carry on and get the True ending but after 60 hours I think I'm done for now.
Of course Animal Crossing and Paper Mario on Switch get a look in as usual.
Ratchet and Clank: Nexus. Just want something enjoyable and something I can beat in a weekend.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Finally arrived at the Fire Temple, my second favourite dungeon!
Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - This is a decent twin stick shooter tbh.
AlphaJax (Windows Phone) - Running into loads of issues now with the workaround and having trouble running the app at all.
@Col_McCafferty. Joe biden is the new 🇺🇸 usa president.oh yeah.respect.haha.enjoy your day red dead redemption one of the best games ever.word up son
@playstation1995 Congrats mate!
Yeah, it most certainly is.
Nioh 2, Hades and maybe Atelier Ryza
Getting my ass handed to me in Bloodborne... 25 hours in and I don’t think I’m even halfway through.
Ive been enjoying shadow of war so I'll mainly be dipping into that and redownloading stuff to my external drive ready for the 19th to arrive.
Snowrunner, After multiple attempts and six months worth of patches it’s finally stable enough to play for more than 20 minutes.
13 Sentinels and FF7 Remake. Trying to get them out of the way before PS5.
I've accepted that I'm just never going to have time to finish Red Dead 2 or to player Amalur Re-Reckoning.
I've been sucked back into Anthem after picking it up dirt cheap. I'm actually really enjoying it and should get enough content out of it until AC drops in the week.
After finishing Mafia: Definitive Edition and getting all trophies for it, I decided to revisit AC: Syndicate after many years of not touching it. Also, to keep me somewhat occupied until Valhalla drops
Far Cry Primal just waiting for Assassins Creed Valhalle
I just finished Ending E for Nier: Automata. 10/10. That game is a absolute masterpiece of storytelling in a video game.
My only Dualshock 4 just broke so I jumped over to my Xbox One that I barely play and since I let my Gold/Game Pass sub not renew, I got like no games for it! So, I'm going through some of my old 360 games to keep me busy right now.
Can't believe I never played past the first 30 minutes or so of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I've been missing out all these years.
I’ve been playing through the brilliant gears of war games on the one s. I’m not playing anything in the PS4 Pro till the PS5 comes in. I’ve got a very lonely sealed copy of Watch Dogs Legion, which is waiting for the PS5. Not long left to go.
@TheArt also playing GOW. 8 more of odins ravens and the treasure maps for the plat. Beutiful game.
Spelunky 2... Hoping to make it past 1-4 after about an hour of gameplay
TOUGH AS NAILS.
@R1spam the trick is to use lots of spells and bounce on top of them with your nail. They have a couple moves that go up, but just dash away when you see it coming. I was at a wall with these guys myself, I understand your pain! (;
