Will be playing Assassins Creed Mirage as I have been every day since starting it.Absolutely love it and so far 20 hours in with loads still to do! I'll also be continuing my Yakuza Like A Dragon journey.Just started chapter ten.I love it but gotta admit some (alot) of the cutscenes go on and on..
I'm five hours into Assassins Creed Mirage which I was given for my birthday alongside Persona Tactica and gotta say I'm really impressed with it.Feels like a cross between a remake of the original and Origins. Also I'm playing Pikmin 4 while the adverts are on for I'm A Celebrity.35 hours into it (the game) and can't get enough.
@freddquadros That's a relief to hear.I was already unable to finish Yakuza Kiwami 2 after it was pulled.I'm loving Yakuza Like A Dragon but there's no way I'd finish it in time.
Not playing it yet but it's my birthday next Wednesday and it's possible it may be a gift.Really looking forward to playing it even though I'd still rather have Persona 6.
Yakuza Like A Dragon for me and I've finally got the hang of the Ichiban Confectionery side activity so I'm well in there!Fantastic game:) Pikmin 4 and Lego Skywalker Saga will get a look in too. Enjoy the weekend all!
@Almost_Ghostly yeah exactly but my family refuse to buy gift cards,find them boring,doesn't matter what the person receiving it thinks lol No worries I'll still buy it myself soon anyway.
I'm hoping I'll be playing more Like A Dragon and Lego Skywalker on PS5 and totk on Switch..but I had cataract surgery on Wednesday so it may be difficult as everything is blurry! Enjoy your weekend all!
I was way more excited for this game than Spider-Man but unfortunately it being digital I can't put it on birthday list and I'm busy doing other games at the moment.I'll definitely get it soon though!
If this is true it feels like a punch to the gut! I absolutely love the Far Cry games but this sounds like the kind of game I wouldn't go near with a bargepole!
I finished The Calisto Protocol a few days ago and thought it was brilliant!Shame there will be no sequel. I started Gotham Knights last night which I can't decide if I like it or not yet. Lego Skywalker Saga will be the other game I continue this weekend.
I got totally burnt out on Marvel films and series so really hope they do something new..nothing hero based. If nothing new then another Ratchet game would get me far more excited than any Marvel game.
Most of these I have played upon original release but I still hate how many are taken off at a time with no warning until it's too late to start one. It takes me forever to finish a game and yakuza Kiwami 2 was removed when I only had one chapter left.This is part of the reason my subscription lowers in March as I prefer to take my time with a game not feel stressed trying to finish them.
I bought Eternights in the sale and gotta say I'm loving it!Definitely will keep me happy till the next Persona turns up. Also 67 hours into Lego Skywalker Saga and at least another hundred hours to go at this point! Chapter 6 of The Calisto Protocol which is excellent and it's a shame it doesn't still well.
On the Switch I'm playing Pikmin 4 and nearly hundred per cented each area.
What a shame,I have played and loved every single Dragon Quest game and it's spin offs so far and never thought there would be a bad game in the franchise.However after this review and two others giving it even lower scores I think I won't even be trying this even on a sale.
Can't decide if I'm going to buy it now or wait till my birthday in November.I'm excited to play it but it's not like I have nothing else to play at the moment..
So excited for Death Stranding 2!To think the first was a game I never took much interest in until I received it as a Christmas gift.It turned out to be one of my absolute favourites!
For some reason I had this down as another sequel or prequel to the Trails games so was going to dismiss it as I'm so far behind on those that it's become a joke but seeing it's not related at all has leaked my interest. Great review and a decent score makes it perfect to add to my wishlist.
I have a few games on the go now...too many,something I promised myself would never happen again but.. Lego Skywalker Saga, Sea Of Stars, Bus Simulator and.. A Space For The Unbound
This is pretty cool but being a lover of the main game (90 hours worth) I think I'm done.I bought the Spongebob DLC but never finished it as I was too burnt out..
A pretty good game for Plus.I played the game and rather enjoyed it.Didant bother with the Platinum or any of the DLC though.Plus I sold it as soon as I was done. Saints Row 2 will always be my favourite.
I best Final Fantasy XVI a few days ago and now I have been feeling totally lost.Whatever game I tried was just not doing it for me but decided to try Snowrunner which although I couldn't get into Mudrunner I still had wanted to try this one.I've played roughly two hours and despite hardly getting anywhere and it's the most challenging game I think I've played I'm kind of hooked!Whether I carry on or the difficulty will wear me down.we shall see! Other games I'm playing.. Dodgeball Academia (Day 4) Tears of The Kingdom (145 hours)
@Neverwild @Gamer_Guy Totally agree on the Essential service,my subscription runs out at end of year anyway so will be doing the cheaper version.I As for buying the games,I don't really have as much time to game as much as id like..if I bought all games I liked the look of my backlog would be huge!I just didant realise so many good games would be removed so often.
I was a quarter through Yakuza Kiwami 2 before that was removed and was interested in Ghost Recon but guess I won't bother now. Chicory is a great game and definitely worth doing before it's removed! Don't like all these game removals though,Red Dead Redemption 2 was another game I quit on because there was no way I was going to finish it.If rather take my time and enjoy games.
Still playing through Final Fantasy XVI which I thought I was at the end of last weekend,however still going strong and doing some more hunts.Now I'm pretty sure I AM at the end. Also started Dodgeball Academia which I'm enjoying a lot more than I thought I would!
On.Switch I'm playing Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom AGAIN.Currently at the Fire Temple.
Still enjoying my time with Final Fantasy XVI ,I'm about 60 hours into it and maybe near the end..I've done 20 of the Hunts and so far all the (extremely boring and tedious) sidequests. On Switch I'm still playing the excellent Zelda TOTK! I'm 140 hours in and still loving it Enjoy your weekend all.
Loved this game! Main Campaign took me 95 hours but that was doing most of the sidequests although I had a ton of '?' all over the map still to investigate.I was planning on going back and starting the expansion recently but could just not get back into it..
Mainly TOTK on Switch,70 hours in and feel like I'm not even halfway..Absolutely blown away by this game! FFXVI will also be getting a lot of love.Excellent game
My brother and sister in law are here for the weekend so I doubt I'll get much gaming done but I'm hoping to play more of Final Fantasy XIV and Zelda TOTK,two games im still absolutely loving! Also hoping to play the Pikmin 4 demo
FFXVI like everyone else...fantastic game!
Forager..very addictive but where's my hand holding?
And on Switch Tears of The Kingdom which I absolutely love which is a surprise really considering Breath Of The Wild I could never really get into.
Happy weekend all!
Received an email this morning saying my payment had been declined because my card had expired..as I had to update the game is now coming either tomorrow or Saturday!Ah well it gave me time to finish the excellent Crisis Core at least!
Forager,A Hat In Time,The Wild At Heart and Dodgeball Academia are all games I've had on my Wishlist in forever.Can't wait to try them! A lot of other good games here but already played them.A pretty decent month.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Alan Wake 2?
