Well, it’s not been the best of weeks, has it? The worst part is that things seem destined to get worst. Fortunately, it’s the weekend and there’s tons of video games to play – even better, they can’t give you any deadly diseases.

I’ve got MLB The Show 20 to review. Despite the embargo already lifting, I’ve decided to hold back my impressions until I’ve spent more time with the title’s online. The offline play is superb as always, though.

This weekend, I'll be dusting off my PlayStation VR headset to take Paper Beast for a spin. I'm looking forward to messing around in this curious sandbox, especially as I haven't played a virtual reality game for a good while. A review will be with you before the month is out. There's also the small matter of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which I'm thoroughly enjoying despite the bugs.

I'm taking a trip to hell with DOOM Eternal this weekend and I'm not returning until the Coronavirus is no longer a thing. Or I roll credits and begin to write my review, whichever comes first.
What will you be playing this weekend to take your mind off current events? Stay safe, and remember to wash your hands regularly.

Having too much fun playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Nioh 2. Just Nioh 2. 14.5 hours played already. I think I might be enjoying this
Just started Persona 5 last night having recently finished BioShock and taken a brief break from Days Gone.
It's certainly....different from what I usually play and the cutscenes can be quite long but the music is great, it's flashy and funny (Ryuji already a favourite) and I'm enjoying it.
Like the rest of you, I’ve been following this major news story for a while now and I’m pretty shocked that the people in charge have let it get to this point.
I’ve been deeply upset with how my go-to website has been reporting a GLOBAL issue that concerns all of us!
So, I went digging and unlike these inferior “journalists” I didn’t pull any punches in my search for the ultimate truth.
I asked the people in charge the tough questions to find the real answers that we as a society need to get us through this horrible mess.
It wasn’t easy, but I believe my valiant efforts will bring you all great comfort in our hour of need, and I hope through this we’ll see an end to ROGUE BUTTHURT websites spreading horrible FAKE news.
@kyleforrester87 😂😂
Days Gone, the story has finally grabbed me at Iron Mike's camp. Probably have another look at FFXIV got as far as creating my character and talking to the first few NPC's it's my first MMORPG so will take my time getting to know what's going on!
@kyleforrester87 🤣🤣. Glad we finally have confirmation.
Still playing the last of us remaster on ps4, I'm a bit busy this week so I can't play the game as much as I like.
Man there's a lot of memorable moment in this game, like the ruined hotel with the generator and bloater in the basement (I'm glad it's the most scariest moment in this game, I don't want it to be more scary than that lol). The part where you think the apocalypse isn't that bad with some company, then thinking maybe there will be something horrible happen to them but quickly shuffled it to the back of my mind, only to see that horrible things happens and I just can't stop thinking why (🤖😭). The part where callus joined the party (lol), also after about 10+ hour I finally can defeat bloater without panicking, as long as the bloater stay in one spot and let me finish trapping the whole room with nail bomb lol. Can't wait to finish it this week, I'm glad I'm finishing the game right now since I only needs to wait for about 3 month for the sequel
Also playing blasphemous on ps4, there's good discount and I want to play the game with DS4 on tv, already have the game day one on switch but the switch lite dpad is good but not great, I still prefer DS4 dpad to play 2D games, psvita dpad is the best though.
@kyleforrester87 We can all sleep soundly now. Good work!
👍
Far cry 4 and doom 2016.im also watching doom annihilation.its a good movie so far.no ncaa basketball tournament wow its crazy out there.be safe everyone .word life word is bond.word to your mother.word ☝ up son
I've been playing Yakuza 0 for about 20 hours and I'm still only right at the start of Chapter 4. I think there's about 17, right? Also replaying FFXV and after even longer than 20 hours I've only just met Iris. Man, I wish she was a party member because not only is she cute, the game is one hell of a sausage fest.
@kyleforrester87 The PC version will have a colon - to represent PlayStation gamers taking it up the butt. Just kidding, I really don't mind.
@kyleforrester87 This is incredible.
Just finished Uncharted 2 yesterday, so a relaxing intermezzo is up next, will be playing AER: Memories of Old!
I'll be dabbling in some Two Point Hospital on my PS4, but the real star for me right now is Ori & The Will Of The Wisps. Such an incredible game, and the soundtrack is pure magic.
Have a nice weekend all😊
Currently buying some new games from the store to tide me over when undoubtedly, I will have to take time off work. But apart from that, playing We happy few and the Outer worlds.
This isolation would be great if I didn’t have kids. Anyway planning on some online Far Cry 5 coop on Xbox with my friend. Might also start something like Dead Cells.
Well ive nearly finished a plague tale, so finish that off this afternoon, great game really enjoyed it. Then i just bought we happ few with season pass for 13quid so will give that a go after, hopefully its good looks interesting, but for 13 quid couldnt resist. Also got 2 point hospital to dabble back into so that might make an apperance at some point over weekend
Blood borne ! And I just beat my first ever Souls/borne boss! Feels good!
I was playing Control until I got to the bit that required the rest of the game to be downloaded, so I finally downloaded it last night and I'll be continuing my wonderful, and kinda weird, adventure.
Guerrilla are wrong imo.
Anyway, I've jumped into Dreams a bit more recently, playing a wonderful game about Karl Pilkington as well as a very decent 3D Donkey Kong Country game.
No hate but I've also been playing a bit of SteamWorld Dig 2 on ahem Google Stadia. It's not too bad that (the game and platform).
Tempted to fully commit myself to Dark Souls soon as well as it's long overdue
@kyleforrester87 Amazing effort, Kyle: Forrester - 87.
@kyleforrester87 Haha.
Carrying on with Control which I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’ve only encountered a split second of frame rate drop when coming out of the map but other than that it’s been solid.
Later I might get some more Legend of Legends deliveries done. Almost half done. Plus I got nostalgic and brought Asterix and Obelix XXL3 in the sale so might try that.
@kyleforrester87 finally!! Somebody tackling the real issues we've been facing 😂
As for me I'm avoiding playing games that remind me of current events, so it'll be Resident Evil 2, Infamous, Prototype and FIFA
Just kidding......I'm not playing FIFA
Got hooked on the dlc for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, so when I finish that I'll be playing Nioh 2.
Well that’s uni officially gone up the sh*tter so I guess I have loads of free time? Looking for something meaty alongside my playthrough of Dark Souls 2 (it’s not as bad as I remember but it’s not hard like at all and that bugs me).
Nioh 2 and Beastars baby.
Tales of Vesperia, i wanna finish it before FFVII Remake comes out
Borrowed a ps3 from my cousin and currently playing red dead redemption for the very first time. Yup the weekends are going pretty good.
Days Gone, great game really enjoying it. Just a few more trophies till I take the Platinum.
For me I may work on some MK11 tutorials, always my least favorite part of platinum. Did some bulb farming need 9 more for my wizard in Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville. Just started FF15 been in the backlog forever. Just completed chapter 2 and loving it so far.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I've now got all the bees and can make it halfway through the impossible lair, but not sure if I've got the skills and the determination to reach the end. For now though I'll keep improving at it while grabbing any remaining hidden coins.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I'm still trying to do classic mode with each character as well as the world of light mode. Pretty far though both of those things but there's still lots to do, so I'll be enjoying Smash for a while yet.
Rhythm Paradise. I'm most of the way through this now, but there's still some fun but tricky rhythm games ahead of me.
Hitman 2. There's an elusive target being reactivated that I previously missed, so I'll be trying to eliminate The Appraiser.
Nioh 2 mostly and Dragon's Dogma on my Switch for when i need a break from my a** being kicked.
@Enuo I'm guessing you mean the Anime? I Just finished watching Castlevania season 3 which was great, so Beastars could be my next show!
I'm going into work in a few hours, but when I'll return I hope to finish Medievil (just a few lost souls aaaand zarok) and than.... I DON'T KNOW!!! 😂 Darkest Dungeon, Shadow of the Colossus, Shadow of Mordor, WH Chaosbane, third playthrough of Xcom2, Styx, AC Odyssey.... so much to play. 😀
Greedfall (still!) ..good game but not something I'll play through again.
Modern Warfare and Warzone, which is a fine addition, very compelling and tense to play
Civ 6 on PS4, one of the most addictive games ever ! Oh hello Sunrise !
I'm gonna go to work and enjoy the fact that there are less people out and about! Also, in a few days, if I have the time, I might hit up GameStop and pick up a copy of A Plague Tale! I tried the demo and it absolutely blew me away!!!!!
Going to start on the Division 2 DLC once I hit the final world tier and chip away at some arena battles in Resonance of Fate.
I hope everyone is staying safe. Make sure to wash hands properly. As for gaming I’m playing the Sega Megadrive Classics on PS4 Pro & playing Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox One S.
Gotta work this weekend 😑. I’ll probably just get in a little bit of Resident Evil 2.
Another run of Moss...easily one of the best VR experiences period. More BloodRoots and cursing and some Tony Stewart Sprint Car racing....surprisingly polished and fun. Havent been this hooked on a racing game since Dirt in the days of yore
I'm still playing Fallout 4. I started Nuka-World but it didn't feel right playing as the baddie so I helped all the raiders as much as I could before promptly murdering the lot of 'em. It felt so good.
Started a lot of games but just gave up and started my 3rd playthrough of RDR2 as Dishonourable. The game is just something else, it's stopped me from enjoying lots of other games.
Playing resi 2, cant believe I waited a year to play this.
I've finally gone back to Trails Of Cold Steel 2 which for some reason I put aside a little while back but now with Final Fantasy VII Remake coming soon I want to make sure I only have one rpg on the go.50 Hours in so far and really enjoying it.No idea why I stopped playing.
Also I'm really enjoying Jedi Fallen Order and it's the first star wars game since Lego Star Wars that I've really been hooked on.
My Time In Portia,Stardew Valley Rune Factory 4 are all getting a seeing too to.
@shonenjump86 the undead are waiting for you
@kyleforrester87 AHAHAHAHAHA
Goodness, I love you sometimes.
Went out and bought a One X yesterday, for the sole reason to play Ori Will of the Wisps (should the country be at a lockdown) in glorious 4K HDR .... Planned to just sell the Xbox straight after finishing it. Turns out I subscribed to Xbox game pass for £1 for 1st month and Ori Wisps is included!! Jackpot. Then downloaded 30 gamepass games I really wanted to play that I dont have on PS4 Pro. Big titles. I'll be hanging on to the Xbox longer than expected. Between this and PS Now. . . think ive got it sorted.
Finishing up Horizon: Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds DLC, btw. Great fun. Really looking forward to the sequel.
I’m playing through Fire Emblem: Awakening on my 3DS. I should have that finished up by the time DOOM Eternal releases next Friday. I’m so stoked for that game.
I’ve finally purchased Code Vein so I’ll be playing that and Call of Duty Warzone. Which I have decided is what PUBG shouldve been like.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps and maybe some Apex Legends.
Continuing to enjoy the new dungeons in elder scrolls online
Nioh 2 and Hollow Knight are going to be my goto games for the next little bit.
Just reached the final chapter of Death end reQuest so will probably finish it sometime tomorrow. Also playing Strange Brigade. It is starting to get repetitive so I’ll probably move on before the end.
This weekend, I have been mostly eating... V-Commandos.

@NYJetsfan123 i finished a plague tale few hours ago, good game m8, good story and music some nice puzzles too. well worth getting, not sure if its still on sale on ps store.
Nioh 2 and getting destroyed. Good times lol
Double-dipped on Mortal Kombat 11 (bought it for my Pro after playing almost a year on my X1X), and also trying to beat the Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon.
Having a blast. Staying in my room to make sure I won't infect my elderly relatives.
Warzone and lots of it. It's my first BR game and although I'm terrible, it does get the adrenaline pumping
Currently coming towards the end of Chapter III (the desert area) in Gears 5 - enjoying the game play a lot & it's a much better game than Gears of War 4 in my opinion.
Finished The Order 1886 for the 3rd time. Great game. I can't believe a sequel is as unlikely as the PS5 timely debut. I'm playing ME:Andromeda. I know, I know. I hate it as a Mass Effect. But I like it as a ME-inspired rpg xD Still waiting for ME Trilogy remaster- EA, what are you waiting for?!
Borderlands Pre Sequel platinum hunt. Levelling up is so dull.
COD WAW online. Hardly anyone playing, but still amazing.
@kyleforrester87 I always knew the truth would come out at some point.
@Ralizah Did you do that on purpose?
@Kidfried It sounds wrong with the colon to me.
@fluggy I've been playing Will of The Wisps as well, but on PC on the XGP... It is so ridiculously good - only played the original last weekend for the first time and felt like kicking myself for waiting so long to give it a go.
@crazykcarter If you haven't already I highly recommend Transistor after Bastian.
Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition - Having a blast with this so far. I have killed people in nearly half of the styles now.
Turtle's Quest (Windows Store) - I want to say that I'm in the endgame now.
Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles (Windows Phone) - Still trying to get used to the controls. I still prefer the Nintendo DS version.
@Daleaf
How long it take you to finish the game? The demo let's you play the opening two chapters. I absolutely fell in love with the story! Can't wait to pick it up
Just finishing up the platinum for Two Point Hospital and then waiting for Doom Eternal next week!
I've been playing Resident Evil games since January, waiting for RE3. After finishing Claire's 2nd run in RE2 last week, I decided to wait for Jill v. Nemesis replaying Last of Us - another game I'd like to finish prior to its sequel. =)
@kyleforrester87 such integrity
@nessisonett until you start getting cursed :s
Working on the plat for generation zero and it looks like we got a big update coming at the end of the month with new features and other secrets being added for the anniversary so sorted till ffxv drops early next month!
Nioh 2. i am gonna spend many hours on this since i was a fan of the original.
@NYJetsfan123 it probably took around 15hrs, but could be done in less or more depending on on how much you explore the areas. I wasnt expecting much from it when i played, but was really suprised how much i enjoyed it, the more you unlock skills the better it gets, so if you liked the first few chapters, you will love the game. I started we happy few yday and am really enjoying that too its on sale on ps store, if your looking for something else to play too.
It's my birthday today and got a copy of fallen order! Souls meets star wars, bring it on!!
@kyleforrester87 You are the Roger Cook of gaming. Please re-post this in the comments section of every Horizon Zero Dawn article which contains a rogue colon from now on.
Just bough 6 games including pre orders. This plus my backlog should tide me over when the UK is in inevitable lockdown.
nothing been to busy crying as swiss have closed all schools for 3 weeks wife is to work from home next week. and everything closed down last night. im going put desk monitor and my ps4 in basement to ffffffffffffffff escape
@Col_McCafferty the tutorial feels spread out over the first 20hrs... but one of the better stories I’ve played in a video game. Full of cultural quirks and good character building.
Plan on referencing a few persona mixing guides online. Even doing so I still don’t quite understand what I’m doing.
@KIERONOO too bad this lockdown couldn’t have happened after next gen launch.
@MasterEMFG Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm doing half the time either but it's great fun.
On the negative side it does make me feel old!
😉
@Nyne11Tyme I got Moss when it first launched. Loved it. Great perspective and good story.
They supposedly released some new chapter that I thought was going to be free for people who owned it? Do you know anything about that or if they did?
@MasterEMFG there are two sets of trophies now. And gone through these "portals" that i dont remember from last time. Such a beautiful game and can be hard in some instances lol.
Final fantasy 15
Finishing up the dlc of Resi 2 and then I'm going to give astro bot a whirl
