I'm a massive fan of the Torchlight games and for the past few years I've prayed for a console version, but going to need more details before I get hopeful.

Of course, it doesn't help that Runic aren't the ones making this. Torchlight was no doubt brilliant because of the people who worked on it.

I think it's safe to say that it exceeded a lot of people's expectations. Talk about a phenomenal game.

So glad to see Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun at #2. One of my fave games of last year. Such an incredible strategy/stealth experience.

Also XCOM 2 definitely deserves the top spot, although it was only the War of the Chosen expansion that really turned that game into something special, in my opinion. It has a lot of technical issues on PS4 too, but they don't detract from how good it is.

Playing WoW for the first time in over a month, before the expansion in just over 2 weeks. On the Playstation side of things I'm continuing replaying Shadow of War. Still a great game.

@adf86 It's in the utility menus: down on d-pad, go to utilities, change viewpoint.

I should be using the lack of releases to clear some of my backlog but instead I've been replaying Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I also started replaying Shadow of War, after the big microtransaction removal patch on Tues. It was a choice between restarting or just finishing off Shadow Wars and I couldn't resist working my way through it all again. Great game.

Now this is a version that could tempt me into finally upgrading to a Pro. Can I afford the luxury however... hmm.

They didn't like seeing a spin-off by another studio end up being a hundred times better than their own game.

Here's hoping the third-person view helps with the games awful FOV.

I'm in a serious stealth mood after finally playing through Dishonored 2 this week, so the weekend will consist entirely of me playing Death of the Outsider and Sniper Elite 4.

Unpopular opinion here but despite loving the original, I have zero hype for this game. I think my lack of excitement is down to the lack of Joel. Obviously Ellie was a main character in the first game but for me it was Joel's relationship with her and how he slowly opened his heart and started caring for her that made the game what it was. Seeing virtually nothing of the character that, for me, made the first game special hasn't really endeared me to it.

First off I'll watch England most likely get owned by Sweden (please please please prove me wrong, lads), then I'll retreat to my PS4 and cheer myself up with the insane fun of Onrush's free weekend.

@Undead21 Oh I'm sorry, has my opinion somehow offended you?

This series just seems so unnecessary now. Techland moved on to make Dying Light, where it managed to completely blow its previous game out of the water, and now we have a sequel coming I just don't see how Dead Island fits in. I did enjoy the first game but Riptide was pretty poor and with the incredibly troubled development of this, what can we really expect from it now? I like Sumo Digital but they'll have to really pull out all the stops to get me interested in this again.

@MrJohnson71 Did you ignore the part where I said I was planning on getting it even last month? I played and loved the beta so I want to get the game but if it didn't sell and the playerbase isn't there to make it a reliable purchase, what's the point?

This and the current 50% off in the PSN sale suggest that it really didn't sell well. Kinda glad I didn't buy it last month, like I was planning, because I hate playing a MP game with a lack of players.

Not much for me this month (thankfully). I'll probably pick up the retail version of The Banner Saga but other than that I think it's time to clear up some of the backlog.

This is a game I meant to check out when I got my PS3 but forgot about. Guess I never will now.

I can't really be bothered to do anything other than melt at the moment, so I'm just relaxing with Elite Dangerous.

Since I've already got The Crew 2 preordered (I loved the first game and had a blast with the closed beta) I'll be spending this weekend with Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Its got its flaws and I'm still working on getting the hang of the combat, but I'm enjoying the characters and the story. Henry is a bit of an idiot.

I guess I understand why people are annoyed that a game that should allow progression to carry over between consoles has been blocked (a la Fortnite) but the only other reason I could imagine cross-console play being valuable is with MP games that struggle keeping a playerbase. Whatever the case, I'm very much on the 'it doesn't really affect me so I'm not bothered' side of this argument.

For me this weekend is all about Vampyr. It has its flaws but I'm really enjoying it. Now if only the big decisions weren't so ambiguously worded.

If this is real, even if it only works for the service's PS4 titles, I'd definitely be up for giving it another shot. I've never liked the idea of streaming games, and not just because of my terrible internet (thanks Wales).

1. Spider-Man because holy crap that Raft trailer was incredible.
2. Nioh 2 because it simply exists <3
3. Rage 2 because I really was not expecting it to look that fun.

This is what I was worried about. I pray that there'll be an option for PvE only servers because otherwise this game will be a definite pass for me.

@Undead21 Oh yeah, I know it's not happening anytime soon. It's just that the headline reminded me how much I want it

Origins was great so I'm really looking forward to giving this a go... eventually. I was hoping it would be taking a year off again and all these similarities to Origins (interface, animations etc) only serve to strengthen that opinion. It makes it look more like a spinoff in the same vein as Ezio's sequels and Rogue, rather than the next main entry in the series.

If that event in Ghost Recon Wildlands, with the return of Michael Ironside no less, was just to mess with our heads, then that's just cruel.

Don't say that, now I'm reminded how much I want a Resi 7 sequel. I'll take DMC5 for now though, because omg does it look gooooood!

Glad to see its free even on PS4. May as well give it a shot at that price.

I thought it was pretty impressive - in terms of all the games they had on show anyway. All the devs who came on stage (besides Todd Howard of course) just felt like an unwelcome distraction. I understand them wanting to show off their titles but would have preferred a faster pace before the Todd showed up.

I don't know if it was just me but I definitely got some Bulletstorm vibes from the gameplay. It seems like that kind of over the top, pure fun kind of shooter.

Simply put: over an hour of my life I'll never get back.

I'm currently making myself at home on the wonderful island of Summerset in ESO. I think that's pretty much all I need right now

I'd be up for trying it, depending on how much they're asking. I don't expect much though.

I love Fallout but 4 was not a great game and with Shelter being a thing, I'll definitely need more details before I let myself get excited. Having said that though, I'm really disappointed it isn't a remaster of New Vegas.

Very slowly working my way through Detroit as my PC and WoW gets most of my attention.

#1 thing I'd like from a portable console is a platform holder who doesn't give up on it if it doesn't sell 700 million units in its first year. Can you handle that, Sony?

Great review. Unfortunately I don't think I could agree more. It's definitely a step in the right direction, since the 40k license is crying out for some decent games, but it's just too repetitive and unpolished to be anything more than an incredibly short, throwaway game.

If they'd gone the way of Space Marine and introduced some different enemies, it may have helped ease the repetition, but an entire game just fighting increasingly resilient tyrannids isn't enough. I'm really hoping that Inquisitor - Martyr will finally be a great console 40k game (other than Space Marine because that was brilliant).

I'm loving it. I hit the level 25 required to unlock all the full game rewards on the same night I started playing it. It's just so unique and so much fun. It's like the racing version of a hero shooter.

Like some of the others in the comments, I was a little surprised to see a 6 slapped on the end of this review. It is a bit of a buggy game but still, the text definitely suggested a higher score.

I'm really enjoying it myself, and I'm usually not someone who enjoys survival games. Generally, if a game has survival aspects I'll tend to steer clear, but this has really captured my attention. I've spent so much time just building a house and trying to get set up before I go exploring and grabbing myself some thralls.

My copy of Dragon's Crown Pro came today so I'll be booting that up for a bit. I've also really been enjoying Paladins. Feels so much better than it did when it released as a beta last year.

Other than that, on PC my WoW addiction continues.

Dear publishers

If you must put all that rubbish on the cover, at least give us a clean reversible version.

Ta very much.

Not PlayStation but most of my gaming at the moment has been spent trying to get my many WoW characters ready for the expansion.

On the PS side of things, I'm trying to finish farming for all the mats I need to craft the Dante gear in MHW. Teostra just will not be kind and give me his wings and gem.

What's the point of this? I mean Valve can barely even be considered a games developer anymore.

Do I even need to say? Yakuza 6 of course! I kid, I kid. Though I will inevitably play some Yakuza 6 this weekend I can't lie and say God of War isn't the game predominantly on my mind.

The entire sequence with the "Stranger" was one of, if not my favourite moment of the generation and since that the game has been consistently incredible. I was worried that I might feel let down after all the rave reviews raised my hope to the limits but its definitely not been a disappointment so far.

Raiden is up against Kratos? Is this even a fair contest?

Besides finishing my second of Far Cry 5s 3 regions I don't really know. I keep booting stuff up only to get bored and move onto something else. Don't really feel like playing FC5 either but I'm only doing it to tie up loose ends in the region before I get too burned out on it.

Sounds like one of the flawed gems I'd usually end up really enjoying. Having said that, I think I'll wait for a price drop before testing that theory.

Not much for me since I'm suffering with the flu. Maybe a bit of ESO to take advantage of the anniversary event.
