Have you put your Xmas decorations up yet? Now we're in December, you have our permission. Go get it done and play some games.

It's a mixture of things for me this weekend. I'm playing a bit of Elden Ring Nightreign with my mates, I'll be checking out the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora third-person mode, I'm trying to finish Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, and I'm keen to play some of the Destiny 2: Renegades. How many of those will I actually play? Probably one if I'm lucky.

I really enjoyed Street Racer's alternative take on a Mode 7 SNES racer back in 1994, so with four weekends left in the year, I want to check out the November 2025 PS4 and PS5 release of the Street Racer Collection.

I'll be playing what I think is probably my last review game of 2025. Beyond that, I might chill out with some PowerWash Simulator 2.
That's what we're playing in this fine December week, but what about you? As always, let us know in the comments section below.

While waiting for my Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) to arrive next week I will be playing Project Warlock as it is really fun DooM style retro shooter with progression elements
On the side I will start The Last of Us Part I and play few skirmish matches in StarCraft 64.
Have a fun weekend!
Hades (one more time…) this weekend as not going to have a lot of gaming time in amongst Work, Football, beer and a very hot curry.
Im addicted to Hades though, the gameplay loop, music and the writing all hits the spot. I know I should try and play the big single player games in my back log but this game has its hooks well and truly stuck in me.
Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻
On Playstation:
F1 23
Finished the season with a win in Abu Dhabi for McLaren. Won both the drivers' and constructors' championships for the second year in a row.
On other platforms:
American Truck Simulator
Delivered grain to El Centro, soybeans to San Diego, utility poles to Ely, construction houses to Carson City, clamshell buckets to Sacramento, scaffolding to Redding, and roof shingles to Eureka. After 9 days my DF Logistics trucking empire has 4 trucks.
Ball x Pit
Rolled credits. Great game. A-Tier.
Dredge
Did the initial tutorial missions and paid off my loan for the boat. Now doing missions around Greater Marrow.
The Legend of Zelda
Completed the eighth dungeon and got the last piece of the Triforce. Currently at 16 hearts and ready for the final confrontation.
Having finished with Creaks, which is an excellent game with little hints of Abe's Oddyssee and Braid in the puzzle design, this weekend I will be continuing in a 2D platformer vein by playing Puppeteer. It's a game I often return to close to Christmas, as there's something just so Christmassy about it - it's pretty much the videogame equivalent of a pantomime (oh no it isn't!... sorry). It's also so brim full of inventiveness, charm, and little things to discover that it has a ton of replayability . An indie soul placed in an AAA quality production.
Have a great weekend folks.
I’ve fallen back into Disney dreamlight once again, I haven’t touched it in over a year and now I’m obsessed again. I’ve made it my mission to track down some of the newer companions, and bribe them to be my friends. 😂 - just like irl.
I need to pop out for some bolts for my new wheel then I'm playing GT7 🏁🏁🏁
A fair bit of co-op this weekend. Finishing off the Tiny Tina dlc for Borderlands 2 today and then some raid mode on Resident Evil: Revelations tomorrow. After quite a few hours (and months in regards to the latter 😅) on both, it looks like we’re creeping up on the finishing line of both.
I then have next week off and am gonna try and fit Psychonauts and Risk of Rain 2 in for 50 plats for the year.
Between the Marvel Tokon beta, the new Gran Turismo content, ramping up into the final week of the first ARC Raiders season and trying to make progress in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden... yep, definitely enough to take my mind off another impending Ashes failure. Happy gaming everyone! Except any Aussies, obviously
Finished the story of Clair Obscur ...now onto the end game bosses and The Endless Tower on the way to lvl 99 ( way off !) Without doubt GOTY 2025. Genius.
More Battlefield 6 which i think im genuinely clinically addicted to ! So many fantastic modes in multiplayer.
Having to wait to play Metroid Prime 4 Beyond until Christmas now as the wife stopped me buying it - hint taken lol. Divorce proceedings now underway 😅
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Bought Echoes of the end.
Liked the look of it for ages and been tempted and as it was on a decent discount I bought it and loving it so far.
Will also carry on playing Bendy and the dark revival with my son
@Onearmbandit Coincidentally I bought this at launch and played it for a bit but never escaped. Tried it again a few months ago and became absolutely hooked, great game!
Marvel tokon fighting souls beta ^^
The absolutely wonderful Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
PC - Forspoken and Atom Fall
Switch - Metroid Prime Remaster
Xbox 360 - Project Gotham Racing 4 and Halo CE Anniversary
PS4 - Rage 2 and Saints Row 4
@Onearmbandit I had the same experience. I just couldn't put it down. I don't get how they managed to make it work. I usually get bored after playing the same game over and over again.
@BrownOwl Forspoken? Sweet! Feel free to let us know what you think so far, if you feel like it.
Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. I’m playing Coffee Talk. I don’t usually play this kind of game but it’s quite nice to play something relaxing pre-Shinobi, which is the other game I’m currently playing. I wish you all a pleasant and festive weekend.
Doing errands for a grave robber, a fraud and an alcoholic.
Rdr!
Have a great weekend!
Metal Gear Solid snake eater and Ghost of Yotei on the Pro. On Game Pass plan to check out Routine, Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Lost Records
Pacific drive tomorrow evening I'm away doing an early Christmas with my GFs siblings
My full focus right now is Ball x Pit on my Portal. Unlocked the 7th area last night, just need to wrap up clearing the 6th area with the characters I've unlocked first (one more character left to unlock). Might also need to play more Fast runs, since I've only done like a couple of those.
Have a happy gaming weekend y'all!
Hotwheels with my kids bro I have commitments 😭
Playing The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the first time ever on my *Switch
@Duck_Farmer (#3) my guy out there living the life!
@Czar_Khastik I summon thee! ❤️
Greetings, good people.
This week I identify as a game boy. No, really, it only took eight years for Nintendo to add control mapping to game boy games on Switch so they are finally playable for me. So I've completed two Mario Land games. And while the first one is simple little game only good as a piece of history, the second one is actually great! Level design is superb and the variety of stages, enemies and bosses is off the charts. I've really enjoyed that game more than any so-called "new" Mario Bros.
I also started Metroid Prime... Hunters. No, really, I already bought Prime 4, but decided to finish the only Metroid game I didn't finish before starting it. I tried it on DS when it came out and found it awful. Now thanks to melonprime it's playable at least. Doubt I'll get much enjoyment out of it, but I need to close gestalt.
That's all for now, wish you a great weekend.
Having a lot of fun with NEON WHITE. Another game I am terrible at but it is heaps of fun and the use of Dual Sense for the difference guns is VERY satisfying 😎
Playing:
Free multiplayer weekend without PS+. So i boot up this game again and it still really fun despite i didn't played Ranked Match for 4 months. I'm quite rusty though dropping bnb combo and my matchup knowledge against C.Viper is zero lol. But i managed to won against her + multiple matches and earned 1544 MR. I'm curious if i can reach High Master rank with my boy Ed at the end of this week 😁
That Mark Cerny article made me boot up this game again and continue my playthrough. Right now i'm on Disc 2 or at Fueno, just rejoined with the rest of the gang. The pre-rendered background still looks beautiful to look at. It's sad how nowadays pre-rendered background feels like lost art...
Have a great weekend everyone 🍻
@naruball
The opening is pretty standard and the parts in the Cipal rather dull, however once you're past that and open up the world proper it's actually a surprising amount of fun. There's a real kinetic feel to the magical parkour and combat. It's also quite a pretty world, offering a varied landscapes that beg to be explored.
Yes, I rather like it.
Was looking forward to trying out Lonely Mountain Snow Riders but release got pushed back into next week (critical bug or something) so playing some Old School Rally and Blood - Refreshed Supply 😉👍
Well I’m near the platinum still in Cronos so I’ll wrap that up.
Then more Arc Raiders and some more Where Winds Meet. I also really have enjoyed the PS5 port/remaster of System Shock this week. I’m terrible at it but loving it.
Lastly, I will probably play Ender Magnolia as I abandoned it and need to get back to it.
Happy gaming weekend all!

I will also continued playing one of the best video games ever made in the amazing dark souls 3 the fire fade edition.i will also continued playing the instant classic the incredible ghost of tsushima director cut.i will also be playing continued one of the best video games ever made in the phenomenal fallout 4 game of the year edition.and I will continued playing one of the best video games ever made in the wonderful resident evil 2 remake.i will be watching my michigan wolverines basketball 💛💙 play.i will also be watching my boston celtics 💚🖤 play.and I will also watch my pittsburgh steelers 💛🖤 play.i will be watching legendary sitcoms TV 📺 comedy shows in family matters.good times.the Jeffersons.sanford and son.different strokes.martin.the wayans brothers and saved by the bell.word up son
I will have a extended weekend, with a municipal holiday, so I will play a lot more games than usual. I reached the Nibelhein region in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, so to keep exploring it. I will hunt more targets in Assassin's Creed Shadows. I got the hang of the game, now I'm feeling more efficient in clearing the huge amount of content.
In preparation for Death Stranding 2, I am playing Death Stranding: Director's Cut, to see the new content. I think I am close to wrap it up. And I will put some hours with The Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2 and Sword of The Sea. A very happy weekend for you all!!
@GuttyYZ I’ve got to Elysium a few times but get slaughtered by the boss. I’ve played nothing else since I bought it on Tuesday.
@naruball yeah I remember you saying about Hades and addiction 😂
It’s a crazy good game.
Mostly Balatro. I'm close to winning Gold Stake with all 15 decks (just a couple left) and also making good progress on the gold sticker collection.
On the side, I'm also playing through 11-11 Memories Retold before it leaves Plus. Hopefully I can finish it by Monday since then I'll want to focus on Yakuza 0 Director's Cut.
I'll be on Helldivers 2 I'm loving the update with the liquid hot "magma" worlds but please for the love of god people need to start packing smoke for the platinum extractions otherwise it's impossible!
Please spread the word!!
I'll be playing Red dead remaster aswell what a game!!
Happy weekend folks✌️
@playstation1995 I only ever completed dark souls 3 once when it launched what a game!!
I'll have to do another playthrough at some point!
@PerpetualBoredom My dear lad, I appreciate you summoning me from my Saturday slumber. How's it going, playing hot wheels?
Speaking of lads, I just finished Yakuza: LAD (Like a dragon) and I must say it's a fine made game. The story is great and the battles are satisfying. If anyone is on the verge of picking up a Yakuza game, this one is not a bad place to start (but some older chararacters do appear).
On the side note, Expedition 33 is on a whole other level gameplay and story-wise, so Yakuza would score even higher for me if it wasn't for Clair Obscur.
Cosmic Invasion, the Tokon closed Beta, and Ghost of Yotei.
Avatar - it’s a totally new game after the update, and much more enjoyable in third person for me.
I started Lego Horizon during the week so I'll continue with that and probably go back to Outer Worlds 2 and some Battlefield 6 later with my brother. I've also been slowly progressing in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond on Switch.
@Czar_Khastik (#39) that wordplay made my day 😂 Yeah, Hotwheels Monster Trucks are flying splendidly when exiting their looping, and nap time is about to commence, so I will be rested laterday. Glad you enjoy both games! Have a nice one!!!!
Everything else has been dropped since I started playing the incredible Sektori earlier in the week.
It looks like bullet hell (and the first boss CAN be if your upgrades haven't gone that well prior) but it really isn't. It's controllable chaos and deeply enjoyable gameplay, matched with pulsing music and a vivid visual overload that really pops on a good OLED (lucky enough to be playing on a Sony A95L here)
At £11.99, do yourself a favour and grab it. It's effectively Housemarque as they used to be. It's rare I post on this 'now playing', but feel this is something special.
KCD2, can't get enough of that world. Hunting and crafting in MHWilds. Rallying in the most realistic looking rally yet, EAWRC. Back on GoW Ragnarok, just exploring all the worlds doing favors and finding nornir chests.
Single player wise I’m continuing with S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 which after about 26 hours of play I can tell it’s gonna be a long game!
Multiplayer wise I’ll be playing Labyrinthine and Coral Island tonight and Void Crew and maybe Borderlands 4 tomorrow.
I’m on the final level of Halo - it’s a game of two halves for sure, with the earlier levels being easily the best. It’s become a bit of a frustrating gauntlet at points in the later levels with some endless mobs and cheap deaths. I’ve still enjoyed it a lot though. Looking forward to getting started on the second one.
Switching between Octopath Traveller and Core Keeper. They’ll keep me busy for a while.
Claymates on Evercade
I’ll be playing astral chain on the switch U, i’m 3 hours into the opening tutorial, 50/50 the game is getting dropped. in non-gaming hobbies i’ll be starting a trabant 601 model kit
I finished Banished: Ghosts of New Eden going for resurrection. I don't know how much fun I would get out of another run going for ascension, so it it shelved for now.
Forspoken is disappearing on Plus together with Star Wars, so I've started them up. Star Wars is really fun. Forspoken has a weird charm to it, and so I might finish the story but I hit a snag where it is difficult to progress.
Forspoken seems like a game that was finished 2/3 and then that two-thirds was polished a lot. The map is huge, as are the cities but it is also weirdly devoid of life and detail. The combat is fun, traversal is okay, but I keep trying to climb everywhere and it is clearly not what the game intended. The writing is fine - the criticism leveraged on this game's dialogue was unfair.
Alan Wake 2 trying to finish this game. A good get for PS Plus and inventive through and through.
Basically the same as last week;
Dying Light: the Beast - been pretty much playing only this which means quite a few hours so I've managed to finish and platinum it, and I've really, really enjoyed it. Its not quite as good as the first, and its not without its flaws, but the combination of all its parts makes it a really good game. It was all I hoped for and more, which is probably why I got so obsessed with it., Fun gameplay, combat, exploration and story and some good side missions and a sprinkle of goofiness made this great fun!
LEGO Horizon adventures - been playing with my daughter and we're having fun. It looks amazing, gameplay is decent and a great game to play with a kid but not something I would play by myself much as its a bit simple and repetetive but we´ll se how long she wants to keep playing - hopefully we can finish it!
Next up I'll try the Red Dead Redemption remaster 🙂
The usual I'm afraid folks..Arc raiders,EA wrc and Dirt rally 2.0. I am thinking of purchasing test drive solar crown as its £17.50 at the moment but I'm not sure..anybody got any opinions on this?
Angry Birds Seasons (Windows Phone) - Still playing Christmas levels.
Equalicious (Windows Phone) - Also still working on this as well.
Angry Birds Space (Windows Phone) - Is there such a thing as too much Angry Birds?
