That’s an entire month of 2020 done and dusted. Can you believe it? The clock doesn’t stop, and we’re edging closer to those big spring PlayStation 4 titles as a result. In the meantime, what’s keeping you busy this weekend?

I haven’t been able to commit to Judgment quite like I hoped to, but I want to make some progress in the PS4 crime drama this weekend as I’ve been loving it so far. It's also the Super Bowl, so I'll be sure to play a couple of rounds of Madden NFL 20 to get in the mood.

I feel like I might actually be able to play some games this weekend, so I'll be hitting up Death Stranding, which I've left, er, stranded for quite a while. I'll also be diving back into Dreams once again to muck about with the creation tools. One day I'll make something worth publishing.

I’ll once again be joining up with Kazuma Kiryu for more Yakuza 6: The Song of Life this weekend. Elsewhere, I’ll be taking a look at a PlayStation Talents title named Dawn of Fear for review. It seems to be an old-school Resident Evil with fixed camera angles and visuals that look like they’ve been ripped straight out of a PSone. Neat!

As well as more traditional classics, I enjoy hunting down less well known, but still high quality retro games. A good example of this is Noise Factory's wonderful 2001 beat-'em-up, ACA Neo Geo Sengoku 3.

I picked up Sairento over the holiday break and have yet to dive into it, and honestly I probably should. I've heard really good things about it, and I've been in the mood for a new VR title. I'm also debating whether or not I want to go beat Kentucky Route Zero. Again. I love it too much not to.
What are you playing this weekend, then? Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl? Share your gaming itinerary in the comments section below.

I picked up Journey to the Savage Planet and so far I'm having a great time with it.
Hopefully get time over the weekend to play more Days Gone and Hyper Light Drifter. Only just started them through the week, My main focus is on finishing Before they are hanged by Joe Abercrombie. Netflix has added tonnes of new anime not to mention the first wave of Studio Ghibli goodness, basically my quiet weekend will be spoilt for choice!
Just got the plat for Days Gone. Now returning to Arkham Asylum/City.
@Enuo
Same here, seemed rude not to for £19.99 retail
Planning on co-op Sunday evening
I finished the fifth palace in Persona 5. I think I'm 75 hours in now?
After a week and a half break from playing any games really I'm finally ready to finish off Divinity Original Sin II - Definitive Edition once and for all.
The last act doesn't seem like it'll take that long but who knows? Either way I've enjoyed my time with it thoroughly! 😁
I'm finishing off Uncharted 2 (quite enjoyable but those platform section are really awful), before starting properly with Blasphemous.
Just stopped playing Death Stranding as it’s close to football kick-off and felt a long cutscene might be about to start. (Mission with Mama).
Also doing AC Odyssey Atlantis dlc but it’s starting to feel like a chore so might leave it for a while.
And come on Chiefs on Sunday.
I started playing mass effect 1 and the simpsons the game on ps3.
Ive got a one week old, so im playing the game of juggling a toddler and a new born. If i get an opportunity i will continue Dragon Quest 11 on PS4 and Trails of Cold Steel 2 on Vita
Been fiddling with my bike, gunna continue smashing through Bravely Default later. Really enjoying this second play through.
I just finished BioShock on Survival without using the Vita+Chamber and had 3 gold trophies pop for me. I'll probably move on to my 3rd run of Dishonored DotO. Then it's some FIFA 20 and eeerrr MH World which I still can't really get what the hype was about, it's an okay game.
So for me it'll be promotion grinding in PvZ Battle for Neighborville as I work on the plat and will return to Darksiders 3 currently in the Depths. If I get a chance maybe a little Last of Us.
Carrying on with AC liberation and finally commit to Judgement. On the switch I finally heading back to Dragon quest builders 2 which has completely taken over my life. Come on Wales. 🏴
About to finish my 4th playthrough of Witcher 3 (Greatest game of all time)
After that, planning on finally starting Yakuza 0 as its been in my backlog far too long (also cant wait for the remaster collection to drop on 11th)
Gonna play some Jurassic Park: Evolution and some Sid Meier's Civilization VI here and there
About 2 hours away from finishing Star Wars: Jedi fallen order, amazing game, especially for a star wars fan like me <3
Backlog for me, will be playing GTA 5 on a save from 2015. Also picking up on an old Dragon's Dogma playthrough.
Journey to the savage planet! Also tell tales Batman!
Final fantasy x/x2 remastered.and divinity original sin enhanced edition.word up son
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I started playing it the other day and enjoying it so far, though the controls took me a while to get used to.
Also carrying on with Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. With Splatoon 2, I'm halfway through level 9, so I might be able to reach level 10 and unlock ranked mode soon.
Definitely rooting for the Chiefs. Gotta love Andy Reid whilst Mahomes is just wonderful to watch.
As for the PS4, mainly AC Odyssey and Days Gone.
I'll be trying out some multiplayer Luigi's Mansion 3 with my nephew (never played the game before), as well as a GBA game on the big screen.
@Rob_230 Congratulations-being a parent is the best! And when your kiddos gets a little older, gaming is a great way to spend time together. Me and my sons are playing a lot of Madden this weekend for obvious reasons.
I started Luigi's Mansion 3 this week, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable game, so I'll be continuing with that. Each floor in the mansion is brimming with originality, and whilst the game isn't especially difficult, it's just so much fun. I might play a bit more Baba is You as well, but I've been stuck on a puzzle for ages and it's driving me mad, and I refuse to look up the solution online!
Aside from Madden with my kids, I am starting Last of Us Remastered this weekend. I need to replay this classic before Part II comes out, and I never got around to the DLC on PS3. Looking forward to it!
MHW:Iceborne ! Arguably the greatest expansion ever.
@ZeroOverOne You have fantastic taste in games. Those are all great!
now that i have the Platinum in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot i'll be playing through the Kingdom Hearts III Re-Mind DLC
I honestly dont know what to play, im in a bit of limbo nothing i put on is clicking, ever since finishing god of war i just dont know what to play, did just finish lego city undercover which was actually pretty good, got a itch to play control its 28 in argos but its out of stock. So if anyone has any recommendations would be good i play mostly single player and story driven, dont think im in mood for rpg got outer worlds in backlog. Also played most of big games.
Playing and finishing gunman clive hd edition on switch, it's a good little 2D indie games, I've played it on my phone a couple of years ago but I can't finish it using touchscreen, it's way easier on switch lite dpad.
@Daleaf Evil Within 2
@Westernwolf4 Thank you! Happy to hear someone agrees with me
@Arugula played yakuza 0 and 1 halfway through 2 but not really in the mood for it. Played all the uncharted games. But a plagues tale is a good shout might actually give the trailer a watch and see if it hits.
@kyleforrester87 played a bit f the first but couldnt really get into them
Some more skyrim (trying to join the thieves guild at the moment) and more yakuza 0 (majima time at the cabaret club). Both games are massive, it might be a good few weeks before I get to anything else
I'm almost at the end of Chapter 6 of RDR2 and, knowing how it's going to end, I don't feel like playing. It's one of those games that leave a hole in your soul once you've finished it. Been listening to the OST on Spotify to muster the strength to see it through to the end. Wish me luck!
@Arugula watched the trailer for plagues tale looked good, will defo pick it up somepoint but was 45 quid in store, for some reason i thought it was only 25, but will wait for sale. Did just spot wreckfest in argos for 20quid so might pop and get that after the rugby.
Got a 3 day weekend which is rare for me. Playing Control, Crash Team Racing, Resident Evil 2, and Samurai Shodown for PS4. Smash Bros, Shinobi, and maybe Castle Crashers for Switch.
Now I've finished both Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Days Gone I've finally got round to starting Atelia Ryza which I am enjoying alot although it's the first Atelia game (of which I've played many)that took me a while to get used to that new battle system.
I've also gone back to Stardew Valley on the Switch and started a whole new game despite already putting in over a hundred hours on my last one.
With Shenmue 3 done and dusted, I can finally get stuck in to Horizon Zero Dawn. To say the first couple of hours have been enjoyable is an understatement.
1. DBZ: kakarot
2. Borderlads 3
3. Madden
Finally got my DS4 Back Button Attachment. Try it out over the weekend.
Will play some death stranding a little tonight. More importantly this weekend I am making alot of chicken wings and drinking alot of beer! Love Superbowl Sunday. Unfortunately part of me also hates it because after tomorrow, no more football until September.... In the meantime, go Kansas City Chiefs!
@Gremio108 Horizon Zero Dawn doesn’t have a “:” in.... oh.
Carry on.
@Gremio108 I am actually procrastinating finishing Shenmue 3. I play a bit at a time so not to run out of what @stuzster so perfectly puts it - "priceless" moments.
From that opening scene to the last shot - I found HZD fantastic. The DLC is also good.
Been Running Farpoint VR with my buddy again. Easily one of PSVR best offering and an absolute blast in MP. More Shenmue 3. Level 30 kung fu. Cant stop doing nonsense in that game lol. Maybe something on switch...
Watching the Super Bowl too.
@Gremio108 in for a treat. One of Sony's best this gen
Finishing Control hopefully, which is the best game of last year. Also Final Fantasy X / X2 remastered. In typical FF fashion, I'm stuck on a hard as nails boss fight....so started X2 out of curiosity and loving it !
Sekiro, cheesed my first boss this morning- Demon of Hatred - it was getting the point that I'd been there that long I was thinking about giving up
Finishing up Tales of Berseria although I'm not sure if I really want to grind some of the stuff I have to do to get the Platinum trophy. Overall it's an extremely underrated Tales game and JRPG in general. I loved almost every second of it.
And I'll finally get to start playing FE 3 houses soon after.
Finally started Judgement and am enjoying it more than I did any of the Yakuza games.
AC Origins. Was AC'd out after Syndicate. Glad to be back in there now though.
The excellent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (I think that’s where the colon goes).
Having a great time with this so far.
@Westernwolf4 Thank you! It really is so rewarding (and puts everything else in life into perspective!)
Im really excited to game with them when they are older. Ive just got my daughter into ghibli movies, so gaming will be the next big step. She was actually helping me play Dragon Quest earlier. She was pressing the buttons during the battles and got excited when we won 😃 she seemed to enjoy watching me play spyro and spiderman too
@stuzster I'm not messing about in 2020
@Agramonte I think that's the best way to play it. It took me around two months to get through, with a break for Christmas in the middle. Any quicker and I think it would have done my head in
@Nyne11Tyme Yeah, I've just got past the Proving bit and it's already becoming obvious that this is one of the best games on the PS4. It's one of those games which you're just itching to get back to whenever you're away from it
@kyleforrester87 I almost spelled it Hor:zon Z<ro D@wn just to annoy you
How’s it going guys, I’m playing a mixture of Catherine (PS3), God of War: Ghost of Sparta (PS3), Final Fantasy II (PS3), and The Witcher (PC). Happy Gaming everyone.
@Arugula
According to studies, alcohol actually kills the coronavirus aka the kung-flu, so me an intellectual, will actually double up on the Coronas and deal with the deadly hangover instead
Another week and I am still playing Death Stranding....
Thanks to reading The Last Wish and Sword Of Destiny, I've started playing The Witcher 3 again on my Japanese account so I can get the trophies.
Panzer Geekz (Windows Phone) - This seems to be giong quickly.
Flowerz (Windows Phone) - I'm not sure if I like this yet.
Briquid Mini (Windows Phone) - Progress on a few more levels today.
Just going for the synthesis trophy in Kingdom Hearts 3. I'm getting so close to that 150th platinum.
I would just LOVE to continue And finish my 2nd DQ11 play through w/ super hard monsters turned on...(This could be my answer for the next 100 weekends LOL)
I'll be tackling games I've had for ages, but yet to finish for one reason or another: Dishonored 2, Wolfenstein 2, and Hellblade.
I bought Judgement thinking I’d really like it but I’ve been having trouble getting into it.
@Oriion i finished it a few weeks back, and i was exactly the same, it just feels and plays too much like a yakuza game, think it would have been better if they would have changed it a little. I did enjoy it but it took a while to get into, the story is good. In the end i skipped the side missions and just concentrated on the story.
@stuzster I do not think it is any harder than what is in the main game. You have a crazy new enemies to fight and a mission tied to one that can be challenging - but not any worse than the big guys from before.
But like the main game, it uses all of it For a great narrative that gives you another piece of the back story.
Not been in the mood so far this weekend, nearly Sunday evening now, haven't switched the ps4 on since Thursday, may play last couple episodes of the walking dead tonight.
Blackguards 2 & Worms WMD!
Just got Xeno crisis
@stuzster I did not think so. You have some who have an issue because how NG+ works. But I played it on day one so by the time the DLC came I was already playing that way.
Once I got to the new zone and into the story line all that fades away.
