The one problem with WAYP is that it comes around too quickly. Your humble host took a glance at the calendar this morning and realised that it's already almost August – we'll be going Christmas shopping in the blink of an eye. Anyway, you know the drill – here's what we're playing this weekend.

I've signed up to the Galactic Rangers and started playing Ratchet & Clank on the PlayStation 4. I knew this game was going to be good after previewing it last year, but it's actually surpassed my expectations.

As with last weekend, it's going to be handheld gaming only, and once again, there's not a single Sony platform in sight. Despite an embarrassment of riches on my 3DS, I seem to have fallen into a Yo-Kai Watch sized hole – even though I don't like its battle system at all. In fact, I've been seeking out the mischievous Yo-Kai so much, I haven't even started to play the new Monster Hunter.

I'm shelving my playthrough of Persona 4 Golden for a couple of weeks as I get a couple of other games on my list finished up. The new DOOM is a phenomenal game, and I'm having a blast with that. And August isn't going to make things any easier with possibly the greatest month of indie's ever between Abzu, No Man's Sky, and Bound.

The PlayStation summer sale led me to both Project CARS and The Walking Dead: Michonne, so alongside The Witcher 3 DLC, I've got plenty to play this weekend.

It's Mirror's Edge Catalyst for me, as I strive to run through it all. I'll also be playing Overwatch per usual, so if anyone wants to play a few rounds sometime, hit me up on PSN. Lastly, I might see if I can finish up Firewatch since I'm over halfway through it. I'm loving the writing and art style!

I'm continuing my journey through… Journey – a first-time playthrough of a truly captivating game. I'm also starting another run of Tomb Raider 2013 in prep for Rise finally hitting the PS4, then lamenting the fact that I'll own both games on three different platforms for some inexplicable reason.

After starting an exciting new chapter in life, I'm finally settling in and set to catch up a bit on some gaming this weekend. I'm kicking it off with some Resident Evil 5 on PS4 (despite already putting in 120+ hours in the PS3 version). Then I'll be testing more survival skills in Lost Sea (was able to buy the rare Limited Run physical copy), and running the city in Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

I'm finally catching up on the excellent Telltale Game of Thrones series, which is a must for GoT fans as it really adds to the whole plot. I'll also need a revenge match of the excellent Videoball against my eldest son, too, who I am so far yet to beat!
Sam Brooke, Reviewer
Since I 100%ed Headlander already, I'm focusing my energies on The Witcher 3 this weekend, while also throwing in a bit of Rocket League and GTA Online with some friends.

I've been rabbiting on about No Man's Sky so much that, frankly, even I'm tired of it. I'm still super excited to play, though – I just need to distract myself. Thankfully, I'm reviewing Overcooked, a culinary co-op curio, which you can read about on Monday. Oh, and there's also the excellent-looking Hyper Light Drifter waiting in the wings.
Phew, a big week with lots of responses – let's make it a big comments section, too. What are you playing this weekend? Let us know down below.

Hyper Light Drifting and Dirt Rallying for me!
I'm back on Uncharted 4 for a crushing playthrough, then maybe inch towards the Ratchet and Clank platinum
Now that Adam Boyes (that slob always irked me) is no longer with Sony, I am strongly considering jumping on board with PS4 but will be waiting for black Friday sales. I am going to approach this console purchase different than any other videogame hardware purchase I have made. As I wait for the price to drop, I will be purchasing cheap used games at GameStop (I have already picked up Killzone Shadow fall ) so that when I make my purchase I will already have a good library.
This weekend I am purchasing a New 3DS XL and will pick up Animal Crossing so my wife and I can play together.
Nothing new for me, still playing World of warcraft, Neverwinter and Jojo's bizarre adventure. Waiting to try the PS Plus games and the Devision's first DLC.
Sacred Citadel on ps3 and The Gauntlet on ps4. Beat both of them but still need to get some trophies. The Gauntlet is a grindfest, though.
Final Fantasy X HD
MLB The Show 16, and chipping away at The Witcher 3 for me.
Bit on Monster hunter generations and Yo-Kai on my 3ds, while also clearing my backlog of ps4 games.
Finally finishing ratchet and clank, I want to upgrade all of the weapon to max level before playing other game. After that I plan to finish hyper light drifter, god of war 3 remastered and gravity rush remastered.
Possibly Dark Souls 3 and The Evil Within which I picked up in a digital sales a few weeks ago. May also have a bit more time on Doom or one of the many, many games in my backlog!
Had the week off this week so have been putting more time into the fantastic Persona 4 Golden although I'm in December now so I must be at the end.
Also been playing alot more of Nights Of Azure which despite not being impressed when I first started I have really gotten into it..very addictive stuff.
Neverwinter is still holding my attention and I have also d/l a very cheap but great srpg on the 3ds called Mercenary Saga 2.For anyone that enjoyed Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics it plays and looks alot like those
A mixture this weekend.
Hyper Light Drifter - interesting game and the few quid off makes use of my PS+ subscription.
Furi - not too sure I'll have the patience for this one. Still working out the dodge mechanic - and still on the jailer.
Witcher 3 B&W - still seem to be adding more quests than I complete but the stories are interesting.
Monster Hunter Generations
I played the first episode of Life is Strange last night, and really quite enjoyed it, so I've bought the remaining episodes, and I'll hopefully be able to play episode 2 this weekend. I loved the characters, especially Max, and the whole time travel mechanic, but I felt that the story was rather slow. Does anyone know if the story picks up a bit, with a few more plot twists?
Item maxing in FFX & Hyper Light Drifter for me.
Oh wow, this week just flew by for me but I gess that's what happens when you have a goofy work schedule like I do. As a result I missed the deadline to get my WAYP in so I will just post it here.
So a bit of a variety for me. Since it's 100+ degrees here nothing to really do but stay inside. So I will be playing the following.
PS4 — Overwatch, Black Ops 3 and Neverwinter.
I am playing through the last two episodes of Life Is Strange. Loving every minute, I only got it as a recommendation of this site but it is really absorbing. Ah what I wouldn't give to be 10 years younger... And a woman.
Some overwatch and battlefront as i wait for no man's sky!
Ratchet & Clank and possibly going to get around to trying Neverwinter.
Just Dragon Quest Heroes for me. Only 4 more trophies for that plat
Far Cry Primal for me. It's quite refreshing to play an FPS with no guns in it!
Time to finish South Park: The stick of truth.
@BranJ0 I loved Life is Strange but unlike you I didant find the first episode slow but it definitely picks up and a few cool plot twists.Only part I hated was on the last episode right near the end...you will know the bit I mean if you carry on but other than that it's a fantastic game.
Finishing off Enslaved Odyssey to the West on PS3. Good game if you can cope with the annoying side character and framerate issues during combat. Also hoping to get some time to play original MGS and Tearaway on Vita.
I have found myself really enjoying Black Ops III after not being too into it before. Zombies in particular is great.
Destiny and Phantom Pain.
PS4- Street Fighter V, and One Piece Pirate Warriors
Xbox One- Killer Instinct, and Dead or alive 5 LR
Wii U- Smash Bros, Tokyo Mirage Seesion, Ninja Gaiden II(VC)
3DS- Animal Crossing New Leaf
I finally beat Velocity 2X a couple of days ago so I will be getting the trophies I am missing and perfecting all levels and unlocking all the bonus levels.
I've just finished a playthrough of Beyond: Two Souls. There were parts in the game that were really good and other parts that were a bit naff but overall it was okay. I'll wrap up the Platinum now in a chronological playthrough.
I've also started playing Diablo 3 again with a new demon hunter.
I've been playing Neverwinter. Quite fun but far too easy so far and I'm about level 22. No real skill required so far with the build I'm using. Pretty much steam roll everything solo.
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Furi and Rocket League.
NHL 17 beta
Sly Cooper 3
Finishing metal gear solid phantom pain and
Starting dying light hopefully
Alienation, wasn't sure about it at first but it's a cracking little game. Need more legendaries.
I'm playing I am setsuna on ps4 with a little doom on the side. On the vita it's persona 4 golden it's a great title and may take my top spot for best overall experience to have on the handheld, only time will tell. Enjoy your gaming everyone
Bravely Default and World of Tanks... waiting for No Man's Sky review
Life is Strange episode 4 and some more Neverwinter . Looking forwards to Abzu which I think is out in a few days. Enjoy your weekend everyone.
The very excellent Zombie Army Trilogy. Got it in the summer sale. It's fab and will now probably buy Sniper Elite 3 too.
@shonenjump86 How are you finding 1 piece pirate warriors? Top tip - forget the platinum it will take over your life.
This weekend I'm in Stevenage / Letchworth for a boss wedding so if I'm lucky and get back early enough I will still stick on TR def ed and 1 piece pirate warriors. Normal gaming service will be resumed from next week though! Woo hoo.
Hyper Light Drifter!
Nothing, Went to Germany for holiday. Was awesome although the service at restaurants is terrible. Just finished my food and the lady asked if i could leave because other customers are waiting ( Berliner republik, terrible service). 6 people asked for a table and next to us there where 4 places... So i had to drink a half a liter of beer in like a minute... Great service
More Overwatch lol when in the No mans sky review
@Sanquine you sound a bit Sauerkraut ! Hope rest of holiday was good. Try Bavaria next time , had a great time there last year. Sausages ,Beer , Pretzels , CurryWurst , Bayerish Breakfasts .... Mmmm.
@MinerWilly Don't get me wrong. Berlin is amazing. The food is also great! Spatzle / the sausages with sauerkraut is delicisious. Beers also great. Just the rudeness of the staff was annoying. Will do! Im also learning German so better luck next time
@themcnoisy
I haven't paid much to the trophy list for the game. That bad huh?
@shonenjump86 on the contrary, great trophy list apart from;
Complete the Gallery. I'm at 89% - you need every coin, every crew level at level 5 (even none playable characters) every characters skill sheet skills unlocked, every movie, every levels sub missions complete, pretty much everything to 100% including running the dream log 10+ times to get the randomly dropped coins.
@themcnoisy
Looks like I got some work to do. 😏
