How has the weather changed so quickly? One minute we were wearing shorts, now we’re hugging our winter jackets. The good news is that you have absolutely no reason to go outside anymore, so it’s time to catch up on that growing collection of video games you’ve been side-eyeing all summer.

I’m taking some time off next week, so I plan to dig into a title I’ve never quite got around to starting: Stardew Valley. Exactly how much I end up playing is up for debate, but I’m looking forward to finally seeing what all the fuss is about.

I was planning on playing The Last of Us Remastered this weekend, but I'm now waist deep in reviews. Instead of reacquainting myself with Ellie and Joel, I'll be painting gorgeous graffiti in Concrete Genie, and burning all kinds of rubber in GRID. I'll have more to tell you about both very soon.

I have a lot of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep to play this weekend. Having wrapped up the campaign, I want to check out the quests that open up afterwards and maybe schedule a date with the raid before delivering the Push Square review early next week.

I guess spooky October has started early, because this weekend I'll be sending Arthur the knight to his doom in both Ghosts 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the PSP's Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded.
That's us, but what are you playing this weekend? Have you got anything exciting lined up, or are you just going to see what takes your fancy? Let us know in the comments section below.

Playing Resident Evil 5 Remastered again before it disappears off Game Pass, still a great game, excels in co-op. Yes it's more action oriented than horror but still a blast.
RDR2 on PS4, blows my mind how breathtaking this game is !
Also signed up for PS NOW this week, so browsing through it and blitzing Red Faction Guerilla Remastered....sorry, Re MARS tered !
I've got the Project Resistance beta to play, I've had a couple of goes so far and it was fun but not sure how it'll hold up for even a couple of hours without much more to do. I've also started to disappear down the rabbit hole of Destiny 2 which is easily the best free game I've ever played. It's been a lot of fun so far with a lot of content to play, so I could be playing this for a while
EDIT: I picked up the Ghostbusters remaster and it's a bit bare bones in its upgrades, it looks to be just a resolution and framerate bump. That being said I had a pot of fun with it back on the PS3 and it's just as fun today and now a lot smoother too
@KingPev
Also playing RDR2 this weekend. 30% completed and on Chapter 2.
Loving it so far and i am excited to get through it over the next few weeks.
FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered and Batman Arkham City Armoured Edition
Dark Souls II: Scholar Of The First Sin on PS4. Restarted it thanks to the save glitching and the timer jumped from 3 hours to 959:59. Didn't need to but it was very annoying.
Luckily I got back to where I was within an hour and a half. Fighting The Pursuer soon!
And for PS2 It's Jade Cocoon 2 once again... Been neglecting it a little but I'm nearing the end anyways!
I’m continuing my journey through the fantastic Valkyria Chronicles 4. For my second game, I’m thinking of trying Titanfall 2. I picked it up for a couple bucks a few months ago during a sale and although I don’t really like multiplayer FPS, I hear this is the best FPS solo campaign out there. We’ll see.
@Netret0120 Youve got some amazing parts to come ! The story is amazing...enjoy !
Playing god of war for the plat on ps4, just got all the artifact and I just need 1 trophy (find all the raven) for finally getting my long awaited plat. After getting the plat I want to find all the realm tear and troll fight.
On switch I’m playing cuphead, blasphemous (just kill the second boss), ori and the blind forest, untitled goose game, and mario odyssey. I love my switch lite, it’s my top 3 favorite portables with psvita and gameboy advance sp, playing games on it is so much fun because it's so light compared to original switch
When I finish watching Japan v Samoa (go Japan) I'll be continuing my long journey in Fallout 4, and some Judgement at long last.
I had a nice surprise in the post this morning when my copy of Grid (Ultimate edition) turned up 🙂 so obviously I’m looking forward to playing that. Will also be playing Borderlands 3, Torchlight 2 (one of the best ARPGs since Diablo 3 imo) and WRC 8. On my Switch I’m playing Zelda Link’s Awakening and Yoshi’s crafted world. Have a good weekend people 🙂
Very jealous of you getting to play concrete genie Stephen, when does the review land? Played a bit of rise of the tomb raider and bought bastion for 2 quid on switch (why is my life not narrated?! The kid sits on his ass and plays his ps4, content with life!!) Not too much gaming though as our family got a puppy 🐶
Continuing my epic quest through tamriel in ESO
Sniper elite on switch.
Playing God of war ( thanks to dirt cheap ps now) for the first time.
What’s going on guys, still on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. I’m making good progress though, currently at 42/48 stars in Mission mode. Six more stars and the platinum is mine. Then it’s onto the DLC...happy gaming everyone.
Playing Divinity original sin 2
A bit of Yakuza Kiwami 2 and MLB: The Show as well. I’m quite enjoying the latter but am playing on an easy setting at the moment.
Back to work after a week off and still feel like I didant get much done...apart from going to see The Joker which easily made my Film Of The Year...if not the last few years!
Gaming wise I am STILL on AC Odyssey!I'm not bored of it cuz I love it but I just can't get over how absolutely ENORMOUS this game is..no wonder I never get through my backlog..
I'm also on the 6th Dungeon of Links Awakening on the Switch which is giving me a bit of trouble.Loving it though.So much better than Breath Of The Wild.
@get2sammyB are you playing on Vita or PS4? It’s a very relaxing game, there are a lot of things to do but you don’t have to do anything.
For me it’s Far Cry 5, Hollow Knight and Soulcalibur VI this weekend.
Same as every week, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and just started Super Smash Bros where I have no idea what I am doing or anything. Also What The Golf on Apple Arcade which is amazing.
@wiiware love that picture. I caved and got myself a Switch Lite after months of telling myself I wouldn't. It really is a lovely little device though and I'm glad I got one. It's much more impressive once you use it than I previously thought from seeing pictures.
Now I want Sony to bring out a successor to the Vita that's a little bit bigger (Switch Lite size), works with PS Now, and could maybe play some PS4 games & indies. I think it's possible for them to make something like that, but doesn't seem like it'll happen unfortunately.
Sega Genesis Mini- Earthworm Jim, Strider, Monster World 4, Streets of Rage 2 and the Mickey Mouse games.
PS4- Samurai Shodown and Fist of the North Star.
Switch- Fire Emblem Three Houses
Playing lots more Witcher 3 and Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Also will give the new track a try and unlock the new characters in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled.
Ghostbusters Remastered
Much like the last few weeks my plan will be to progress through massive games AC Odyssey and Persona 5.
What will probably actually happen is I’ll play loads of RDR2 Online and get closer to the Platinum on Horizon Chase Turbo.
Replaying The last of us. Played it 5 years ago and need to refresh my memory of the storyline ready for part 2
Nioh. 😍💖💚💛.having fun with this game.and one of the best game ever.word up son
Dragon Quest XI S on the Switch. Amazing release.
Iv decided to go retro...kinda; bit of new Vegas before outer world's comes out
I'm really curious to read your guys' review on Concrete Genie.
Anyways, I'm hoping to finish Link's Awakening this weekend. Also need to get the MediEvil demo downloaded and played.
Batman: The Telltale Series (Switch) - Starting Episode 3, looking forward to it after everything that happened in Episode 2.
Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition - Still working on my desert oasis with my kids.
Zoo Tycoon Friends (Windows Store) - Got me some zebras!
FIFA 15 Ultimate Team (Windows Phone) - Getting past the broken controls this phone game is a better game then FIFA 20...
Untitlted Goose Game...i just couldnt resist.
More Fists of the North Star
Maybe some Borderlands 3. Gonna test the split screen since there have been some patches...my expectations are low
I bought Shadow Of The Tomb Raider in the sale and I'm really enjoying it so far. Even Camilla is likeable as Lara in this one.
Also some TLoU Remastered and of course the usual Red Dead Online.
@roe Yeah, the original switch is a jack of all trade but a master of none, too heavy and wide for portable play and I don't want to play it on tv because the graphics isn't that good. But switch lite is super light, so it's really convenient to play it just for a couple of minutes, while my old switch is usually put in my drawer, I put my switch lite near me so I can play it whenever I want. Playing indie games on the lite is soo good, it's like psvita 2 that I always want
I think rather than making portable, sony would make a dualshock 5 pro that has 5inch screen so we can play psnow games on it. If smartphone maker can make a good $200 phone with good cpu and screen, I'm sure sony should be able to make $179 ish (the same price as xbox elite controller v2) ds5 pro with bigger battery and a good screen.
I've gotten back on the Destiny 2 wagon, and it looks like I'll be continuing since a friend of mine gifted me Shadowkeep. I've had a love-hate relationship with the franchise these past five years, but it feels good to be back.
I'll be continuing with Alien Isolation (on Chapter 14 - Curse those face huggers!!!)
Then on Vita, i'll be continuing with Trails of Cold Steel 2 ahead of the launch of the 3rd game in the autumn
Playing EPL and La Liga with Arsenal, Man City and Valencia in FIFA 20.
And there's still some inexplicable magic about RDR2. Anytime I make the journey to the Grizzlies and back it feels so meaningful than making journeys in other open worlds.
Then still on my God of War 2nd playthrough. Exploring a lot this time round.
Mobile: Call of Duty Mobile
Switch Dragon Quest XI
Xbox One:. Bloodstained Ritual of the Night
Nothing on PS4 since my son is doing a play through of The Last of Us.
Got my eighth platinum trophy last night with Horizon zero dawn, jumping between a few games at the moment, Arkham knight is not bad but loving Dead Cells and also started Tales of Vesperia. Possibly going to see Joker tonight then butcher everyone in my neighbourhood after! JKing, Have a great weekend all.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Challenging as always but very satisfying taking down those bosses.
@JJ-firl I’ve dusted off my Vita.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Dishonored.
@wiiware it's probably for another thread but I think as we move forward with streaming services becoming more of a thing, I wonder if Sony would be tempted to put out a device purely for PS Now. There'd be a market for it imo
@roe Yup, a psvita like device with 5G and also can be used for ps5 controller is the safest option I think.
@Hylian-Likely Playing 2D indie games on the lite is so good, just like psvita back in the days when it still got a lot of indie games support.
I'm gonna be playing Bloodbourne for the first time and a little of cod mw remastered plus wipeout omega and picking up the very easy but highly enjoyable platinum on hell blade senuas sacrifice so I'm basically I'm pure heaven for two days!!
@Furious-Fingers good timing, I think the community is organising a return to yharnam event, server should be busy for invasions and summons! Enjoy, it's one of my favourite games ever
The Ninja Saviors on Switch.
I might have a couple of rounds of battlefield and continue on with FF8 a bit but otherwise have a busy weekend with social events.
Finished days gone story last night, Sony sent me an email with an avatar and told me that they believed in me that I could get the platinum trophy. Cant let them down if they believe in me so that's this weekend sorted...
I'm gonna be playing Code Vein and Borderlands 3 on PS4.
I'm gonna try to finish This is the Police on my phone.
I'm gonna play some more Fire Emblem Three Houses as well.
Halfway through the weekend, along with fifa 20, been checking out some old ps plus games, burly men at sea was the one that gripped me, have completed it. Hopefully I'll find something else play along side fifa 20, for the rest of the weekend.
Playing Trails in the Sky in preparation for Trails of Cold Steel 3.
Looking forward to hang out with Rean and Class 7!
Borderlands 3!!! I loaded up GR: Breakpoint, but I need to finish Borderlands 3 first.
@get2sammyb not gaming much, this time of year i really get into NFL. So do you fellows across the pond enjoy when NFL games are played over there? Ive seen ur a giants fan, have u ever got to watch a NFL game since they have started playing them overseas?
Saints Row Gat Outta Hell. Fun game. Clearly an expansion to 4 but it was 3.99 so I dont mind. Then some more Red Dead 2 online.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter! Bought it in a sale last week for 5 bucks 😊

On topic: just got a PRO a few days ago and I'm about to start God of War. So excited! Additional shout out to the whole Push Square community. Love reading your comments Have a nice Sunday everyone and happy gaming!
@ellsworth004 I’ve been to four games in London. I’m going to Texans vs Jaguars next month. It was the only game I could get to this year, I’m looking forward to it.
@gollumb82 Welcome! Thanks for the kind words. 🙏
@b1ackjack I keep meaning to play through Uncharted 4 a second time but just haven’t had the time 🙄 will definitely get round to it before the PS5 comes out 😉
@Th3solution
I hope you'll enjoy Titanfall 2 SP, but I personally found it disappointing. Great graphics and gunplay but the plot itself is not that original. Same goes for the characters which are bland. That's my opinion, though, so maybe you'll find it enjoyable. For that kind of money it's not a big deal if you don't. Cheers
I am playing the last Episode of Assassin's Creed Odyssey The Fate of Atlantis Filling the game completion and enjoy the rest of the story. Epic season pass till now.
@get2sammyb that should be pretty awesome. 2 fun teams to watch.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L im from US so i get to watch games at normal times, but im a redskins fan and they play new england this week. They will probably lose by 50.
@gollumb82 I’ve started the game and am pretty well hooked. I do like the gameplay quite a bit. I’m only a few hours into the story, and I think it’s good so far. I can see what you mean though, but I quite like the relationship between BT and Cooper. The villains are a little more ho-hum, as far as character development goes.
@LN78 why do you try for plat if it’s frustrating? I’m curious I always wonder why people do this to themselves. When I play a game it’s for pure fun and if entertainment level is not at least 8/10 what’s the point it’s just a game. With the exception of strategy games I suppose if I lose I was not smart enough and WILL do better next time, but no frustration?
Can we get a vote box on these articles like nintendolife’s?
@Th3solution
Different strokes for different folks I'm glad you're enjoying the game.
Started playing Yakuza 0 and I'm still playing dirt rally and GT sport.
Bought the yakuza origins collection in sale and started yakuza 0 , still at chapter 5
Also crash n sane and nitro cart between yakuza to change mode to fun
i have a lot of backlog , but after yakuza i plan trails of cold steel 1 & 2 with each 2 playthroughs before 3 , i love the legend of heroes series and played all of them before ...
@ellsworth004 @1_W1NG3D_4NG3L you think you guys have it bad?.....I’m a life long Bengals fan. The equivalent of banging my head against a wall 6 months of the year.😂😂
Kingdom Come Deliverance.
Incredibly underrated game which easily surpasses Skyrim imo.
I resumed my playthrough of L.A. Noire (PS4). Almost near the end I believe, just have like 3-4 cases left maybe?
