It’s a drizzly but bright Saturday before Easter, which means Bank Holidays beckon and the brighter summer weather isn’t a million miles away. What better way to celebrate than with video games, eh? Here’s what we’re playing this weekend.

I’ll be taking control of a character called Deacon St John – you may have heard of him. Unfortunately, I’m sworn to secrecy on the specifics.

I’m still playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Progress has slowed as I near the very end, but I’m still thoroughly enjoying it. I may also get started on Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, something I’ve been meaning to play for a while now.

This weekend I finally get the chance to get some time to myself, so I’ll be delving head-first into Trails of Cold Steel. Depending on how flush I’m feeling, I may also treat myself to a pre-birthday treat and buy the Ace Attorney Trilogy. I’ve never played it before, and I’ve heard really good things, so I’m looking forward to getting stuck in with that!

With MLB The Show 19 finally in my possession, I'll be hard-pressed to tear myself away from it and its excellent Road to the Show mode this weekend. I already secured my baseball avatar a spot in the major leagues, so this weekend I'll be ensuring that he's on the fast track to success in his first season with the big dogs.

I will be continuing with Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition on PS4. It's literally been years since I played the first Borderlands so it's almost entirely new to me. I might also squeeze some time into The Division 2 with a few friends.
That’s everything we’re playing this weekend, but what about you? Give us a shout in the comments section below and let us know.

After @ShogunRok updated the best PS4 rpg guide it inspired me to play through The Witcher 3 for a second time. I haven't played it since finishing it shortly after launch so have plenty of little updates to appreciate as well as HDR and higher resolution offered by the PRO and it's still absolutely brilliant. As I said on that post, it is still well beyond any game I've played since, in its storytelling and how you can influence the story whilst the combat is fun and there's plenty to explore that all feels worthwhile. Also I never played its dlc and have it there waiting for when I get back through the story, now it's back to the Bloody Baron before a few rounds of Gwent
you teasing me with that days gone secrecy sammy!
(i'm playing horizon zero dawn)
I'll be cracking in with the Division 2. I recently hit World Tier 5, although my enthusiasm has dipped slightly now it's just a gear/score chase.
May give The Surge a go at some point over the weekend.
Going with the classic BioShock 1 on PS3 (I forgot how much I love this game) and maybe some Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga for PS2 on the side.
Best part is it's the Easter Holidays so while I have a few meetings and a bunch of lesson plans to crunch through, i can actually get some gaming done too!
Just hit level 30 in The Division 2, four story missions left. Want to try and get the platinum done before Days Gone hits but not too fussed as will be dipping back into this game for months to come.
Also trying to get the last few trophies for Surviving Mars when winding down. Get these 2 done and I'll hit 50 Plats.
Totally, actually, really going to finish off Spider-Man then head out in Elite: Dangerous 🤘🏽
My time in Portia( arrived today )
Borderlands Goty
Assassin creed odyssey
@carlos82 Yessssss!
The best part is that the DLC is arguably even better than the main game. The storytelling and characters in Hearts of Stone are unparalleled (in my opinion), and Blood and Wine is unbelievably well crafted.
Man now I want play it again...
Finishing up the first game in the Phoenix Wright trilogy. This is my first time playing the series, and now I understand why it's so beloved.
Keep playing Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep.
I finished Terra's story a few days ago and started on Ventus. About 3/4 of the way through Terra's story, I started to really get a hang of the Command List and now I really like it. At first it felt super clunky and slow, but once I started getting more commands it started to really flow better.
That and maybe I'll play a bit of Borderlands 2.
Going to get the coffee at the ready and do the next case with Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. I'll also play some more Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back. I've obtained all the crystals in Crash 2, so I'll go for the gems if they're not too unreasonable to get.
Also going to pet Trico lots and give it a lot of love and attention in The Last Guardian. And I'm still getting towards the end of Persona 5, if there's time then I'll make a bit more progress on it.
PSP:
Ghostbusters: The Video Game - Been having a blast with this so far!
Windows Store:
Zombies!!! - Meh...
Windows Phone:
Bubble Guriko - Still fooling around with this puzzler.
Still grinding away in The Divison 2. I finally hit gear score 500.
Still going through god of war maybe 30 or so hours in. Not sure what I've got left. I bought wipout a few weeks ago now and still haven't touched it even though I really want to, so hopefully I'll be able to have a break from God of war
Oceanhorn on PS4
I'll be slamming down on badass's in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel. Athena out.
@carlos82 You're in for a treat, The Witcher 3 DLC has even better stories than the main game, especially Hearts Of Stone. Plus David Beckham is in it.
blood and wine brought the most beautiful city so far to this gen.
and ofcourse vampires,always gotta love vampires. (the not sparkling ones that is)
Assassin's creed unity. I picked it up on the cheap after playing AC3 remastered and Odyssey, and I enjoyed what I played so I am looking forward to this
Started a new game plus of Darksiders 3 on classic mode. It took them long enough, but it finally feels like a Darksiders game.
@ApostateMage “David Beckham’s in it” 😂😂
Not much for me today but tomorrow I’m going to get stuck in to Elder Scrolls Online after getting the itch to get stuck into it again, played chunk last year before moving on to other things but looking forward to exploring the Summerset DLC with my new Warden character. Also might get some Smite and Division 2 in their as well
After building my brand new gaming desk, I'm gonna crack on with lego batman 3. Will then play some more ESO, for the special boxes
Yoshi still has my attention on the Switch and I'm absolutely loving it!
On the Ps4 it's back to Far Cry New Dawn,Assassins Creed Origins and Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age.
And binge watching Black Summer in the evening..awesome show!
assassins creed black flag 50 percent done only another 9 assassins creed games to start
@ApostateMage Lol I knew he looked like someone, yep it's Beckham alright. I've had about 5 playthroughs in the main and about 3 in dlcs, Witcher 3 is forever fun.
Dark Souls Remastered. Im at Seath, and i dont like him.
Borderlands and Division 2. Going to mix up the looting with some Labo VR with the kiddos.
Online Lobbies has finally been added on Dead or Alive 6, so I’ll be playing that. Throw in Tekken 7, and Rise of the Tomb Raider on there for PS4. Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Smash on Switch.
RDR2, GTAV, SFV, AC Odyssey. What games have a smartphone, Facebook, Twitter, and the whole internet, plus calling friends to hang out, ordering taxis. Has almost every vehicle you can think of. What games have a dynamic camp, most realistic horses ever, attention to detail on little things like a goat heading you down for rifling another goat, beautiful ambient occlusion... Those are Rockstar Games, they are never overrated.
Tearaway Unfolded. This game really puts the Dualshock through its paces!
Finally get spider-man platinum
Also got the Ace Attorney on PS4.
Borderlands Remastered & Apex Legends for me this weekend.
I'm off work this week though so going to grind away through some of my library of games if time permits.
Shantae and the pirate curse and dangerous driving. Possibly with some Final Fantasy 12 if I have time.
Installed an SSD in my PS4 pro yesterday and there is definitely an improvement everything is just that little bit snappier.
Borderlands 2, got two playthroughs on the go, UVHM run with Axton and I'm at the end of my first ever run with Maya, really enjoying playing as Maya she's a glass cannon but great fun to play.
Lol this lucky Sammy. I want to punch you (lightly) for saying that and make people jealous...
Some Jurassic World Evolution and Aven Colony on the PS4. I really missed the gameworlds and gameplay styles. Is it possible to miss a gameplay mechanic? I think it is. I hope they make another Jurassic World game like this in the future, but with a bit more complexity and depth perhaps.
On PC my main project is learning how to play Hearts of Iron 4. I played Hoi2 a long time ago so I know the gist of it, but still it's quite an endeavor to learn. Also, picked up SpellForce 3, an rts+rpg mix. Will start that as well. Bought a package of all the Command & Conquer games, and will start a playthrough of all of them.
Sekiro only, now I’m in Ashina Castle.
@get2sammyb That could be any game, pretty common name to be fair
@ApostateMage @ShogunRok definitely looking forward to playing them, I bought them ages ago and meant to play them after Horizon or something but got distracted so I'm going to savour the whole experience in one go this time
@Gremio108
Have you played the Vita version? Wondered if it's worth playing again on ps4, I think we got it on plus so I have access. I really enjoyed it on the Vita but not sure I'll like a change to input controls
@gingerfrog No, I never owned one unfortunately. I bet it's brilliant on the Vita. I'm not sure if the PS4 version brings anything new to the table, but since it's free I reckon it's worth a whirl. It's a good springtime game!
Tetris 99, since there's a competition of sorts.
SteamWorld Dig 2 after this past sale. Swell game, really. Though yet another Image & Form game I won't platinum :/
All about MLB 19.
Mlb 19, and borderlands game of the year edition
PS4 - Devil May Cry 5, MLB The Show 19
Switch - Yoshi's Crafted World, Ace Attorney Trilogy
Have a slight addiction to Civilization VI on switch so doubt I’ll be playing much else!
I played a bit of Red Dead Redemption 2 last night/early this mornin' and I gotta say, even though I ain't too far intuh the critter I enjoyed it somethin' fierce.
AC Oddysey & Hitman 2
Onto Pharos in FFXII so nearing the end! Of course there’s the gazillion sidequests... I’m also slowly working my way through Suikoden (RIP my spoilery bestie) and Enter the Gungeon. In Gungeon I had 1 bullet piece from 50 hours of play. Today, I beat the final boss for the 1st time. And 2nd. And 3rd. I also got every other bullet piece and killed the Hunter’s past. I’m so buzzing, RNG finally went my way with the cheapest of cheap runs.
Three solid weeks on AC: Origins and I haven't even touched the DLC. This game is massive and beautiful. And the gameplay loop is sooo addicting. I'm gonna have to go for platinum with this one.
Ended up spending my entire weekend on MGS5. Never played MGS before and I love it! Lost track of time, didn't sleep much and now I am knackered. Perfect for a Monday
Bought GTA-5 back in the day on PS3. Never got round to playing it so decided to give it a shot. Then I thought the PS4 version is probably better so bought that.
There are a couple of laugh out loud moments, like when Franklin is filming the star having sex in the garden and she chases them out of the place.
It's hard to know if it'll hold my attention until the end though.
