Guess who almost forgot what day of the week it is? It’s hard to remember during these pandemic times, but your regularly scheduled WAYP is ready – albeit a few hours later than scheduled. It’s absolutely freezing here in the UK right now, so in addition to video games, Push Square will be playing a good old-fashioned game of ‘Keep Warm’.

I really want to start Death Stranding, but my life is being consumed by MLB The Show 20 and Madden NFL 21 right now. I’m honestly having a blast collecting cards in their respective Ultimate Team modes, and I’m struggling to see myself removing the wrapper of Hideo Kojima’s latest as a result.

I plan on finishing my Ghost of Tsushima PS5 playthrough this weekend. I'm slicing my way across the game's final snowy region, all while actual snow is falling outside in real life. It's been a blast at 60 frames-per-second — I love how much more responsive the combat feels (and it was already pretty good on PS4).

I’ll be spending the weekend playing Curse of the Dead Gods, a rogue-lite dungeon crawler launching on PS4 soon. I’m reviewing it, so I won’t say what I think just yet, but you can expect a write-up towards the end of the month.

I'm going to go with the flow of the UK's chilly weather by returning to the Frigid Floes icy area in Astro's Playroom, which is the Cooling Springs world's imaginative recreation of exploring inside the PS5 hardware's internal fan cooling system.
We hope, wherever you are, that you're able to keep warm this weekend — it's freakin' freezing! And, of course, we also hope you have plenty of video games to play. What's keeping you busy?

Keeping wrapped up from the sub zero temperature !
Other than that - more Cyberpunk 2077. Also will be blitzing StarCraft 2 on PC with a bit of dungeon embarking on FF14 on PS4 and Gears 5 Hivebusters DLC on Xbox One ( sorry 🤣)
Have a good weekend guys ♥️♥️
I too have reached the snowy regions of Tsushima. Remains a very enjoyable game.
After reading The Lord of the Rings for the umpteenth time I'm tempted to go back to Shadow of War and slay some orcs. I wasn't get that much out of the game when I played it back in November but maybe I'll put it down to Easy and just blast through the story.
The legendary Grand theft auto vice city 🖤.easily top 4 videogames ever made or that i ever play.shadow tactics blade of the showgun 💚.a amazing stealth game.and judgement incredible graphics.storytelling and gameplay💖.word is bond.word life.word to your mother.word ☝ up son
Playing some more Valhalla if I get the time.
Started Judgment via backwards compat a couple days ago. My first Yakuza Studio experience. I know the PS5 version is coming out but I figured the $20 on sale is better than the $40.
I have that and some movies to keep me busy during the apparent white death that is coming, hahaha!
Also might jump into Destruction Allstars since its double XP weekend.
I'll be pillaging English Cities and lopping heads off with my axe. Then I'll go home and play some AC Valhalla.
Just picked up Sackboy: A Big Adventure for PS5, together with Super Mario 3D World on Switch. I'll be playing both with the wife and kid. Couch multiplayer is so much fun!
I'm also catching up on some PS4 gems I missed. God of War is next.
I have finally started playing Ni no kuni wrath of the white witch and I am in love especially with Drippy, its so nice to see a welsh representative. I'm slightly annoyed on sleeping on this game but glad to play catch up at long last. Also aiming to play some of the pathless I bought the other week, whilst enjoying the snowfall.
I've calmed down now, not trying to play all 60 fps ps4 patched games on ps5 at the same time lol, now I'm focusing on jedi fallen order ps5.
I really enjoyed fallen order, the gameplay is good, it's like more approachable souls game, the plot is interesting, and the graphics is really great at 60 fps, I'm on planet kashyyyk and man, the at-st climbing part is cool 😃
Also, I rarely play games on pc anymore, I don't like survival games, I don't play early access games, and yet I'm really into valheim on pc. The game is like survival games but all the annoying part removed, it feels like grand adventure, like zelda botw but more realistic and the weapon is not made from paper lol.
I’m on chapter 10 in Yakuza Like a Dragon. Trying to get the hang of that business management mini game on there too. Recently got King of Fighters 2002 Ultimate so I’ll play that too.
Just raided the castle that’s 2 miles down the road from me in AC Valhalla. Enjoyable game but with many minor frustrations. For once the main story is probably the main highlight.
Still playing Genshin Impact. 1.3 may be a bit light, but there is a lot of cool new stuff to do.
Also playing Ys IX. Aside from the combat being a bit stiff compared to VIII, I'm still having a great time with it.
Well I’m loving my recently arrived PS5 (sorry to anyone who still waiting). Just not enough hours in the day, working on my e-sports career in GT Sport, fantastic competitive racing if anyone hasn’t tried it yet. Then golf my golf career in PGA tour 2k21. Also myclub In PES2021- such a better game of football than FIFA. Sports weekend it is. Just realised none of these actually take advantage of PS5 capability. Still at least they load quick.
Carrying on replaying Persona 5 Royal in preparation for Strikers. Got less than a week to finish and I'm at the start of December. Should be pretty easy to do I think.
Oh and I'm also continuing Nioh 2 now that the PS5 version is here.
With these two games it's like the beginning of the March 2020 lock down all over again.
Horizon: Zero Dawn for the first time! Started on it yesterday evening 😊
I recently started Immortals Fenix Rising after finally putting Assassins Creed Valhalla aside for now.Really enjoying it alot although it's a lot harder than I imagined!I like the humour in the game too,makes a change from the seriousness of other games and has made me chuckle a few times already.
Will try and continue with Nelke And The Legendary Alchemists on PS4 despite not really into it.Feels very cheap if I'm honest and the 'cutscenes' I just fast forward as they are so boring compared to other Atelia games.Shame.
On the Switch im tempted to go back to Stardew Valley now it's had the new update but I'm trying to hold off until im done with Story Of Seasons..
Demon Souls on PS5. Love how smooth and responsive it is but my god is it hard!! I’ve completed BB, DS1 & DS3 but this one is really challenging me
Just fixed the heating, so toasty warm for the first time this week, also taking a break from Sackboy on PS5 to finally start Borderlands the Legendary Collection.
P.S. Sammy, ditch the sports games and start delivering packages! 😁
I will be mostly be playing no man's sky on ps5, really enjoying it, trying to find a decent planet to set up my main base to build. Played it last night and before I knew it was 1am hours just fly by. I nearly started another farm on stardew valley, but held off for now but will definitely be doing one again soon.
@Adol_Xin Enjoy!Wish I could experience it for the first time all over again!
Post game Ni No Kuni put in over 80 hours already, One trophy to get in Yoku's Island express till the platinum pops and continue playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, enjoyed what i've played so far and I highly recommend Yoku's Island express for those who like a good platforming/Pinball mash up. Have a good one folks!
Just one more trophy to Bioshock Plat, long overdue. Afterwards it'd probably be LA Noire plat. Meanwhile it's sauntering in New Austin with my Mexican flop hat and Hosea's elite Turkoman discovering new things in RDRII. And I met Evelyn Miller first time in this my 3rd run. Then it's whatever.
I started Dragon Quest Builders 2 last night. I know I played a couple hours of the demo but never kept the demo save.
I downloaded Concrete Genie from Ps+ and plan on playing it in between DQB2.
I'm playing some more Rayman Legends, Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, and Hitman 3.
Breath of the Wild and Desperados 3 for me.
I‘m playing Little Nightmares 2 on PS5 and I‘m having so much fun with it.
@Hootnoodle Enjoy Ni No Kuni it's an excellent game. I finished the story and am now in post game, trophy hunting!
Playing some Civ 5 on my laptop, got caught up in it again after a long layoff. Still on the Night City tourism board. Wasteland 3, too, except it's now crashed twice in the same place, so I'm a bit stalled. A few games in my Madden 20 (not 21-boycott) franchise to lament the end of the season. -40 degree wind chill factor through the weekend, so all I'm going to do is eat, sleep, and game!
@Arugula
Stop debating start playing. I did about three weeks back and couldn't stop, recently completed and now in a post GoW lull!
Prob gonna try get back to some stuff I started then neglected myself: Kentucky route zero; hollow knight. Also gonna start concrete genie to see what that's all about.
Have a good one all.
PS5, Ghost of T and Sack Boy mainly.
Ever since the release date for the ME Legendary edition got announced I had to jump in Mass Effect again however the boxes my PS3/X360 are in are still somewhere in the attic. So I started a new game on ME A which is still hilarious sometimes.. It's improved since I last played it but I'm enjoying it. Also playing Bravely Default and Fire Emblem Three Houses again.
I got a new bike today so I’m gunna be fussing over that for most of the weekend 🤩🤩
I’ll also be playing WRC9 which I picked up earlier this week. It’s pretty good, not sure if it’s “better” than Dirt 2. It’s different though. For one thing you can’t even look at the side of the track without the respawn countdown appearing.
May squeeze in some Pillars of Eternity too.
Yakuza 3 for me. Phenomenal game, brilliant series.
Just finished FF8 remastered. I think I’m gonna finally open Dreams and play the campaign first. Also gonna start Immortals soon!
I have a research paper to work on this weekend, so I'm taking a break from gaming until the paper's done. I want it to be done before P5 Strikers releases.
Ffxiv, trying to get through as much of the story as possible before endwalker which is very daunting lol
Dragon Quest 11, I'm about to fight the boss that ends act 2, it's been an amazing ride
And lastly just some Apex for when i just wanna shoot things and take a breather from those 2 huge games ^^
Concrete Genie, have just arrived at the combat part, the mapping of controller buttons are odd. Completed all 3 endings in Bloodborne, will be checking out the DLC and continuing with the chalice dungeons, stuck on the final boss in the cursed dungeon at the moment. Also downloading Control, got the platinum when it was on ps now, I'm going to check out the DLC on that.
Miles Morales on my PS5 and Gears Tactics on my Xbox One X.
Started play Neir Automata, and WOW, what a weird and brilliant and unique game! Love the bullet hell shooter elements mixed with tight sword fighting combat. Just a fantastic game so far (about 4 hours in)..
I'll mostly be playing the new season of Destiny 2, but maybe some Persona 5 Royal if I find the time. Have a great weekend everyone!
Godfall for me..those damn ascension tower trophys are going to take me a while i think..division 2 as well.
Still playing Immortals! 27 hrs in and still loving it!
@Wormold Knack 2 is even better.
@Enuo Anyone that likes Genshin will love Immortals! Way better tho!
@wazeddie22 Keep it up on Immortals. U get stronger and it really gets fun.
Planet coaster! I'm trying to make a playstation park with rides like a resident evil haunted mansion and a wipEout roller coaster
eastshade just need two more trophies and wreckfest and a bit of fishing
Fallout shelter 3 trophies left... Yes im ashamed but i like it somehow. 🤪
Getting close to 130 hours in AC Valhalla, probably another 70 to go... great game but way too much content! I will be chipping away at the story this weekend while being distracted by map markers and the fishing mini-game.
Demon's Souls.
Back in the Valley of Defilement for the first time in years. It's still my favourite environment in any game I've played.
Ghost of tsushima on ps4. The game is beautiful and the combat is really fun, but the story is bleh and the game is so repetitive. I just can't play every night, so I alternate with that and BOTW. I had to take like a month off from it cause I got burnt out, but I just finished my 2nd divine beast the other day. And I'm 50 hours into it! I wish there were an easier way to get rupees though. I hate having to spend hours hunting and fishing so I can purchase some of the necessary outfits on the divine beasts. Specifically the last one was the really warm outfit for rito village.
Ys IX Monstrum Nox!
(play more and different types of JRPGs!)
Demon's Souls and get platinum in Astro's Playroom. Get a few rounds of Predator : Hunting Grounds
Stardew Valley (Series X) — Checking out Splitscreen co-op this weekend with my son. We both have been waiting for this for a long time.
Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection (Switch) — Finally got my copy from LRG yesterday. Playing this has brought back so many memories from hanging out in the Arcades in the mid 90s.
Madden 20 (Series X) — Looking to sneak in a few games this weekend will be starting year 2 of Face of the Franchise.
CoD Black Ops: Cold War (Series X) — Double Weapon XP weekend!!
I'm currently enjoying a 100% Win streak in competitive MK11. It doesn't sound as impressive when you know how many sets I played (only 3) but now I kinda don't wanna play anymore so I don't ruin it lmao
Then I'll probably get back to God Of War.
I am playing Control!
Working on the Inferno run of RE3 for the S rank to grab the platinum. Probably another playthrough of RE7 after that looking forward to RE8
Slowly making my way through Control on the ps5 and really enjoying it. I also pulled out my 3DS for the first time in a long time and stumbled across 3D Streets of Rage 2. It’s so good on the handheld! The 3D depth it adds to the areas really bolster the experience.
I’m going to play a little Persona 5, and then mix in Rayman Legends and Uncharted Drake’s Fortune. Maybe some other stuff too.
A Hat in Time and RE:2 Remake. I need something really light-hearted to balance out how stressful Racoon City is.
Finally got myself THE PS5.
Been getting familiar with it from last evening.
Also, making my 2nd run of Sekiro
Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - Stuck on the final mission on Hard difficulty.
Angry Birds Stella (Windows Phone) - I usually get burned out on Angry Birds games, but I'm enjoying this slightly better then the main games.
Orbital (Windows Phone) - Finally finished this late last night.
Started Ys 9, but I'm, unfortunately. not 'feeling' it. On Chapter 4 but, it's a bit...'meh'.
Still on God of war. Unfortunately my PS4 has decided it likes to spit discs out every 10-15 minutes, so I'm not getting very far.
I loved Astro’s playroom so much I dusted off my PSVR and am currently playing Astrobot rescue mission and loving it just as much if not more 🥰
Still playing witcher 2, closing in on litho! Going to play some more spiderman too. I don't normally dig collectibles but enjoying collecting backpacks and pigeons for some reason!
Ni No Kuni 2. Beating the story and more platinum trophy grinding.
@Culjoseth Oh I'm not giving up believe me!Spent about an hour in a vault earlier and ended up giving up and just exploring the world again.Finally able to upgrade my weapons and buy a few abilities which have since helped me in places.Loving the game it's just nothing what I imagined it to be..but in a good way!
Playing through Castlevania SOTN, still a great game!
I also picked up Atelier Ryza 2 & hoping to get a start on that too.
Slogging through Valhalla not felling this one for some reason. Plays great on my series x love the quick resume feature wish it was on ps5 . May continue with ghost of tsushima on my ps5 as nothing out mind you just got watch dogs legion for 20 pounds on ps5 so may give that a look first
God of war for me finished the main story last night im absolutely amazed how good this game is its a masterpiece specially on Ps5
Little Nightmares II, whatever the new Mario is called, and finally trying to finish Borderlands 3 so I don't feel like I wasted my money.
Played Horizon Zero Dawn all day yesterday (my first ever PS5 session!)
I'm thinking of updating my Fenyx from Switch to PS5 (and transferring my save). I've really enjoyed it on the switch, but I suspect it will be way better on the PS5
@kyleforrester87
I had a lot of fun with Pillars of Eternity, what do you think of it? A little old-fashioned, maybe, but I cut my teeth on those kinds of games. What kind of bike did you get? Does it have a motor?
@LordSteev yeah Pillars is good, maybe a little bit too wordy. Not that I mind but compared to Baldurs Gate it can bang on a little. I prefer the turn based battles of Divinity too over pause and play, especially with a controller. Really looking forward to Baldurs Gate 3.
I got a new road bike (cycle), it’s pretty fancy! I have had a good few motorbikes in the past though, the last being a beautiful Street Triple a few years ago. They keep getting stolen though so I’ve gone off them a bit. You into bikes?
@kyleforrester87
Funny you say that, I got Pillars because it reminded me of Baldurs Gate. A little too wordy, yeah, and downright old-fashioned and clankey compared to Divinity, but fun enough that I got the second one, which was a complete buggy mess that I never finished. I'm with you on BG3, can't wait.
I used to be in to bikes (both kinds) back when I lived in a place where it DIDN'T snow half the year. Had a Honda Shadow and a Specialized Stump-Jumper. Crashed the Shadow and still have the Stump covered in cobwebs in my storage shed. Every summer I think I'm going to pull it out and shine it up, but it hasn't happened so far.
@Wazeddie22 I hear ya. I still have one vault that is giving me trouble. I’m 27 hrs in and I think I’m barely halfway thru. But I’m also completing everything.
Final Fantasy VII remake (been holding out for a good sale) and a little bit of Limbo... err, I mean Little Nightmares II.
FFVII remake is really good, better than I anticipated. I kind of wish they'd stuck with turn based, or given you the option to switch to that, and they kind of quasi do it with abilities if I could keep from accidentally hitting the bottom button in battle all the time. Yakuza: Like a Dragon proved unequivocally, at least to me, that there is no reason that you can't put turn based fighting in a game with modern graphics. Still loving it, and I think I'm in love with Tifa at this point in the game.
Nothing, as I managed to bag a ps5 this week in the game drop and now I’m sitting very very impatiently until it arrives!
First game: replay god of war
Second: ghost of tushima (not played it yet and very much looking forward to it)
Nothing, decorating the spare room 🙄😢
Sackboy: A Big Adventure for me. Trying to mop up on the rest of the trophies, but have virtually accepted that the Plat is a no-go. That ‘String It Together’ trophy is a rage-inducing step too far for me!
Resident evil 4 for me, took a while to get to grips with controls again but on a roll now, never paid as much attention to games or stories when I was younger so it feels very fresh for me now I'm more focused as an "adult" 😊
Cyberpunk, 120 hours in so far, I might have to stop the side missions and move the main story on soon.
@LordSteev nows the time to start getting it ready for summer!
@tselliot Tifa? Really? I mean sure she’s okay, but Jessie is where it’s at.
Mortal Kombat 11, going for the platinum 🙈
@kyleforrester87
Man, windchill is forty below this week. If I touch it, I'll stick to it!
@playstation1995 gta vice city is the GOAT to me
@TommyArter I tried for string it together.. that last course.. headache inducing
@stueyd67 couldn’t get into it either
@Mgene15. I agree grest game.word up son
@Mgene15 Was expecting a lot more of it. I'll eventually go back to it in the future.
Late to this, but I saw the 100th comment was up for grabs so I went for it.
Anyway, playing GTA III and Concrete Genie, while also watching The Mandalorian because I've just signed up for a month of Disney+
Stardew Valley has sucked me right back in with the new update.
Already tried the beach farm for a dozen or so hours, but probably going back to the comfort of the forest farm on (yet another) new save. Can see this game occupying all my time for the next couple of months.
So my PS5 is being really taxed, and I'm making full use of the power of my new console. Not. 😃
I played rocket League, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, some shadow of the Tomb Raider in performance mode on PS5, Kentucky Route Zero.
@Spoonman-2 I might go for platinum in MK11 too. Opening everything in the Krypt first tho!
@Voltan
Only a few to go now, training looks a grind 🙄
@Spoonman-2 It's a good thing it doesn't actually require winning online lol
Although tbh I'm not doing too bad
Same thing as the past two. Ryza 2 and Genshin Impact
I'm finishing the foundation dlc from control...
