It’s been an outrageously busy month for everyone at Push Square Towers, but the time to unwind is finally nearing. Oh, who are we kidding? There’s still Cyberpunk 2077 and then Game of the Year to sort out. No rest for the wicked!

I’ve somehow worked my way through the majority of Demon’s Souls in the span of a week, but I’m sensing tough times ahead as I reach the Swamp of Sorrow. Wish me luck as my time in Boletaria draws to a close.
Stephen Tailby, Assistant Editor
Phogs, obviously. It's an indie title about a double-headed dog, with each side controlled independently, and you go around solving puzzles. If that's piqued your interest at all, you can look forward to my verdict on the site soon. Elsewhere, I really want to delve back into Ghost of Tsushima now it's been updated for PS5.
Liam Croft, Senior Staff Writer
I'm back to reviewing PS5 games this weekend with Immortals Fenyx Rising. My verdict for that will be published on Monday, but I simply must sneak some Demon's Souls in at some point across the two days as well.
That's everything we're playing, but what about the rest of you? You know the drill by now, so let us know in the comments section below.

Going to checkout Bugsnax lol. Tempted to buy Sackboy been hearing good things about the game.
Astro’s playroom, want the platinum and 7 minute speed run trophy... then my 12 year old can have a blast 😎
Picking off the last remaining trophies through new game plus on Miles Morales and starting The Evil Within 2, Borderlands 3 on PS5 and the big one Demon's Souls. So a great weekend all round
Been on Demon Souls, slowly getting there but still along way to go, first time playing a souls game and I'm loving every minute.
A bit of Hollow Knight, Shadow of War and a few rounds of Fall Guys.
The first one is hard and I'm not usually the most patient of gamers lol but I'm sticking with it and just recently beat my first boss. It's probably the easiest boss in the game but a win's a win!
Enjoy yourselves people!
Playing a couple of games on ps4. Just bought doom eternal for $20 on psn, man this game is really good, I don't like the "out of ammo" gameplay at first, but after maybe 10 minutes of playing it, I'm hooked
This sequel is way better than the first game, the gameplay of the first game is great but it's a bit boring shooting enemy in the same environment over and over again. In eternal the battle is way more interesting, and the skybox is super nice, it's freaking cool to see HUGE demon in the background walking in the environment. And the story/lore is more interesting than the first game too.
Also playing shantae half-genie hero pirate queen quest, already got the plat on the main game, now I want to finish playing all of the game dlc. And installing castlevania requiem sotn/rondo again, playing it on big tv isn't as good as on vita, I wish konami redraw the sprite, such a barebones port, it's a 10/10 games contained in 4/10 port. Castlevania Sotn deserve more than this.
I went retro last night and smashed through the Resident Evil 3 remake in one session. Loading times are so quaint! As if we used to live like that! Enjoyed the game, more so than RE2 Remake actually. Glad I waited for a heavy discount though.
Back in the now I’ll be carrying on with Demon Souls.
Probably going to finish Miles Morales and BugSnax this weekend, and i really need to finally start with Demon's Souls.
@LiamCroft : Looking forward to your review of Immortals! Skipped AC Valhalla for this, so lets hope its good.
Yakuza Like a Dragon. The quality of the cutscenes this studio produces always amazes me!
Playin thru GtAV for the first time. I never realised it'd be so funny! Having a blast bit think Im nearing the end, all the planning for the 'one big score'!!
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune via the uncharted collection and Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled on PS4
It's my first time playing Uncharted 1 (I've only played the third in fact but I barely remember it). Bit more cover based shooting then what I expected but other then that it's been pretty decent. On chapter 16 so I don't have a whole lot of game left from what I imagine?
Crash Team Racing for a little kart racing/multiplayer fun... Bandicoot Power all the way with my girl Coco!
Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe!
Completed Astro's Playroom, which I absolutely loved, a few days ago so down to juggling two games, Spiderman and AC Valhalla. I have a soft spot for AC games and am loving the slow start in Norway, taking my time to explore the mountains before continue the story. Spiderman's just great fun swinging around doing the side missions, again still early in the story. Got Godfall rented and Bugsnax to try but Shadow of the Colossus is cheap at the moment - might not be able to resist.
I think I've been playing too much Ghost of Tsushima.
Yesterday I followed a fox over five miles of open farmland in the hope of finding a real-life Inari shrine, but it led me to nothing more than a pile of faeces and a half-eaten chicken.
I prayed to them just in case.
Bioshock The collection and resident evil origins collection.2 of the greatest games ever made in those collection.i will be also watching horror movies and one of my favorite sitcom comedy tv show ever.in living color marathon.some retro wwf. Match with the legend ultimate warrior.my Pittsburgh Steelers game tomorrow has been cancelled due to baltimore players having the virus.so now the game is on for Tuesday night.word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word ☝ up son
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L PS5 problems you mean.
😉
Mainly Demon's Souls for me, with a bit of WRC 9 in between. And maybe even a bit of Planet Coaster.
@playstation1995 Spurs top of the league. beat Chelsea stay stop. Spurs for PL 20/21. word up soon love to your mother props to the fallen. peace
Is that how it goes?
😜
Ha, enjoy your weekend bud. BioShock is a great little series.
Trying to drag myself away from Genshin Impact.
If successful embarking on either Ghost of Tsushima or Jedi Fallen Order.
@Col_McCafferty Chelsea to beat Spurs... like usual 😘
But seriously hoping it’s a good game and not a defensive stalemate. On paper it could be a cracker the two most in form and attacking sides so far this season.
Edit: only noting your sarcasm on a re-read 😂
@themightyant Like last time we met?
🤔
Yeah it was only on pens but as a great man once said "a win's a win!"
Yeah only a bit of fun, it's a tough game for both sides. Might be a draw.
@Medic_Alert took me a few goes to get that one but got it eventually and on Ultimate difficulty too so I was thrilled.
always one bad guy managed to get a cheap shot around the 60-70 hit mark, constant perfect dodges and air juggling is the key. Only 2 to go and the platinum is mine!
Despite getting a PS5 on launch day, I only set it up two days ago. I had a quick go on Astro’s Playroom, which is a great showcase for the DualSense. It’s an excellent controller, the adaptive triggers work so well. I was surprised that they have the ability to stop fully and be clicked in further, I was expecting some resistance and nothing else. The controller’s slightly more chunky contours make it feel even more comfortable that the DS4 to use.
Anyway, I loaded up Demon’s Souls last night, so will continue with that over the weekend. Hopefully I will get used to no Estus Flasks.
Still playing Valhalla and raging at dice players. Especially the one WHO KEEPS HEALING AND NICKS ALL MY GOOD DICE.
1. The Sims 4 PS4
2. Para Para Paradise PS2
3. Animal Crossing New Horizons
4. Tomodachi Life 3DS
@Medic_Alert I thought the same about that 100 combo but one of the combat challenges (on a roof with some tables and chairs) is relatively easy to do it on as there are few enemies with guns. Outside of that its a relatively simple platinum, as you basically just have to finish new game plus
I was going to start replaying Bayonetta 1. It's been so long since I last played it, and I've mostly forgotten what happens. Also doing some more Yakuza 0 and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
@kyleforrester87 How long did it take you?
@LlamaFarmer
Be careful not to download the update patch unless you want gimped performance!
GT Sport. Cyberpunk and Ghost of Tsushima are on physical order, the only "new" games to tempt me this year.
I’m hopefully going to wrap up Greedfall this weekend then onto Ashen.
Immortals Fenyx Rising looks interesting you lucky man.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Making my way towards the Spirit Temple.
Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - Going back for better scores in earlier missions.
Cut the Rope: Experiments (Windows Phone) - Forgot how fun this series is.
Far Cry 4 on the PS4!
More Demons Souls. Finished Miles Morales earlier this week. Both are excellent. It's been such a great launch in terms of games!
Finishing off FF VII Remake so I can get stuck in to Astro's Playroom and Mile Morales.
Some more Persona 5 Royal for me. Hope to get the platinum before my PS5 arrives next week. What a great game!
@Medic_Alert yeah that's the one
@get2sammyb 3:54:48 clear time
Back to work next week after a very expensive week off and I can't see I'll be having a lot of free gaming time until after Christmas so I'm making the most of the weekend by continuing with Gravity Rush 2 on Ps4 and Assassins Creed Valhalla on Ps5.
Really want to grab that 7 minute trophy on Astro as it's the only one to get but I highly doubt I'll manage it.
I'm also trying to decide whether to finally start Sackboy on Ps5 or Sakura Wars for the Ps4 which I received on my birthday.
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, both on PS5.
@kyleforrester87 Demon souls is kinda retro also. 😃
Been playing star wars jedi fallen order again. This time i will finish it and get the plat. Unless my ps4 pro explodes first. Im thinking about changing the fan and thermal paste and pads in it. Ive watched some videos and i think i can do it.
I've been playing Persona 5 Royal (PS4) finally, in the middle of going after the first Palace's treasure (Kamoshida).
@Medic_Alert I'm terrible at "combo trophies", always save those for last when all my powers/abilities have been unlocked.
Probably will start Celeste and Superhot, I'm eager to play some since I bought them at the last indie sale.
Maybe I'll also continue my playthrough with The Witness or Broken Age. Both at my hard drive for way too long!
@Col_McCafferty. Haha definitely playa.have fun enjoy your day word up son
Still working my way through AC Valhalla.
I have bought Planet Coaster on PS5 so I will dip into that as a sort of substitute to not being able to get back to Orlando Florida this year
@Col_McCafferty you’ve definitely done better in recent years. I remember the time when we were your bogey team. Amazingly for 12 years and 25 games Spurs didn’t win against Chelsea. Spurs tickets were actually in the top price tier at Stamford Bridge because of this, it was (almost) a guaranteed win (or draw)
But that was a while ago. 😂
Hopefully this ones a cracker. Both teams playing good football at the moment.
Meanwhile enjoy Hollow Knight, once it clicks its one of the best games of the generation. Have fun.
1. AC Valhalla.
Think I spend more time fussing with my town than anything else 😅
2. F1 (Bahrain GP weekend 🏁!)
3. Yakuza: Like a Dragon (My handheld game via Shadow PC)
I finished WWE 2k20 a couple of weeks ago, and not played anything since.
I'm off work now for a week, and will spend some time gaming. No idea what I'm gonna play though, so I'm open to suggestions.
Nothing ... Due all my PS5 issues. Accumulated 79 error logs in last 3 days. Greyed out unplayable games, undeletable games, undeletable icons for games that aren't installed (???}) , 50+ shut down crashes, no installed games showing in library, no purchases shown in library, can't access ANY games in PS Store for purchase (clicking any game icon gets irksome "couldn't find what your looking for" message), menu freezes, corrupted save files, can't access brand new external for ps4 games. It really is a shocking state of affairs. Nothing helps. Updated software and rebuild database via safe mode. My console is useless.
@Max2574 Sackboy is the best launch game! Haven’t played Demon Souls yet.
I’m on vacation this week so I plan on to in a lot of games. Street Fighter V, Samurai Shodown, Dragon Crown Pro, Tekken 7, Fist of the North Star, and Red Dead 2.
Playin' more Bugsnax.
I'm actually having a ton of fun with Bugsnax.
Bioshock 2 Minerva's Den. I forgot I just beat the main campaign and never touched the DLC. Then it's any other game I feel like.
Kingdoms Amalur Re-Reckoning. 35 hours this week alone.
Some AC Valhalla, bit of cod online just finished campaign. And maybe some planet coaster inbetween. Back to work on Monday 😞😞 time flies when your having fun.
@Agramonte Hamilton predictably on pole after yet another blistering final lap. Would love to see how Verstappen or LeClerc would do in that beastly Mercedes though.
Autumn (Rugby) Internationals right now. 💪
Sporting (and gaming) weekend
@fluggy that’s rotten luck. I’ve got over 200 games Installed across internal Drive and external HDD. Not had one issue so far, error log is empty.
Fingers crossed issues are sorted soon for you and others
Crash 4 on PS4. This one seems harder than the trilogy remake...
BOTW on switch lite. On my first of the Divine beasts.
Nothing until I've finished the decorating, as decreed by she who must be obeyed.
Next weekend it is then!
Cyberpunk 2077!
Can't wait to say that two weeks today.
@Col_McCafferty can I have some of what you're smoking ? 🤣🤣
Finally got around to trying Bugsnax, had to use your guides on a few things. Great game so far. Also Spider-man Miles Morales just finishing up the last few things after completing the story during the week.
Finished Bugsnax and Miles Morales yesterday. Really want the plat on both but Bugsnax seems the hardest one to get from those two.
I played a bit Watch Dogs Legion (meh) and like 4 hours of Valhalla already (pretty solid but not having markers for side mysteries is so annoying).
Now I'm up for a bit of Demon's Souls and probably rage quit.
Working my way through Bloodborne and loving it. Just opened up Castle Cainhurst. After being put off but all the git gud BS and fact you’re dumped in without any guidance I’m actually finding the difficulty has been massively overhyped. It’s really not that bad once you’ve made it through the opening section in Yharnham, which is only as tough as it is because of the above mentioned lack of guidance and the fact you haven’t levelled up at all. It’s no cake walk after that obviously, but I haven’t found myself anywhere near as frustrated as then. Can’t help feel if the opening enemies were a touch more forgiving there’d be way more people playing. I imagine it’s the same as the souls games, which I’m now included to give another shot.
@KingPev No.
BUT I was doing a poor imitation of our resident Steelers fan.
Also, it's only early days but we're doing well so far and I think we can only get better. It's anyone's title this season.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla on my PS5.
Got HUNT SHOWDOWN recently, just going through the trials to get use to it. Seems really cool so far.
WHO WANTS TO PLAY (with a noob) WITH A MIC?
Currently: Astro’s Playroom 😎
@Col_McCafferty ...I'm only jealous. Resident Arsenal fan here 🙄
I've been so hooked on red dead redemption 2 this week. Did the first 2 chapters when I bought the game a year ago but lost interest. But since playing it this week I've absolutely loved it. Almost done with the story.
Been slowly trudging my way through Demon's Souls, & have started playing Sackboy, which is just delightful😊
As im still putting a dent in the the old backlog on Ps4 I have been enjoying my playthrough of Star Ocean: The Last Hope remastered. Played it back in the day on the 360 and loved it, so now playing it again 10 years later in all its 4k glory just for the nos feels.
And in the evening gaming with the scabby blister playing Far Cry: New Dawn. Having a blast playing that, taking parts of it seriously but cmon its Far Cry, you just know your gonna end up D'ing about eventually! Lol proper funzies!
@Arugula
I'd rather chew tin foil than watch another jets game this year...
You don't like BOTW??
Finishing up watchdogs legion. I went from loving the game, to quite enjoy it , to wanting to finish it so bad cause i cant stand how repetitive it got.
I bought Mafia Definitive edition and cant wait to start it.
Just finished Uncharted 4 and next up is Ghost of Tsushima
I'm still on last gen so playing a bit of halo 4, re7 and hitman 2 Ps5 doesn't reach my shores till Dec 10. And then I suspect I won't be able to get stock anyway
AC Valhalla for me this weekend, as time allows.
@Liam Croft: can't wait for the review, i'm curious to see if Immortals FR is really worth buying.
If it is, i'll preorder the Gold edition right before launch.
My guess is that the score will be an "8".
But it's a (somewhat) new franchise, and even with Ubisoft's 20% discount for 100 Ubi points, it's still gonna be 80 Euros.
So I would like a confirmation before I invest in it.
@stu123 just completed:D is a great little game
Playing some AC Valhalla on the PS5, best AC since Black Flag and Unity, such a good game!
Finally decided to take Beyond Two Souls out of the 'I'll play it someday, maybe...' bag and fire it up. Got to say I have/am really enjoyed it, yes has it's flaws but encourage anyone who hasn't played it to give it a go. Sammy gave it a 8/10 on ps3 version and 6/10 PS4 revamp. Personally feel 7.5/10 is a fair score. Unique concept of a game
I couldn’t order ps5 at the first time so I am playing some R6, destiny 2 and fallout 76
Yakuza like a dragon and assassins creed origins
Played through Miles Morales, a couple more trophies on Bugsnax and Demon’s Souls. A very enjoyable weekend!
@Medic_Alert no problem, I just remembered it being by far the easiest place to get a large combo
