Started Crimson Desert and so far it’s fine. I’m only 5 hours and barely out of the first town, but when I played Skyrim for the first time it was immediately apparent that it was special. CD hasn’t given me that feeling yet but definitely will continue on.

Playing Wrestlequest and having a mostly good time. A 16 bit wrestling rpg featuring various legends of wrestling was a great idea, however making one that’s 40 hours is not. I’m 27 hours in and the charm is starting to wear off a bit. The story goes to ridiculous places that just make the game feel more drawn out then needed. If it was 15-20 hours it would have been perfect.

Still playing marathon and enjoying it. Need to get back to single player and I got the plat in Mindseye. At this point the game has no bugs but the ending was laughably terrible. Started the original Metal Gear Solid from the master collection. The new resolution settings make a world of difference and that game is still top 5 greatest all time.

Marathon is my crack right now. I can’t get enough of it. I also am putting some time into The Show 26 but after one game it’s back to Marathon lol.

Absolutely hooked on Marathon. The gunplay is amazing and the runners different abilities make every fight very fun. Gotta stay on your toes because the AI is very tough and other players are way more ruthless than in Arc Raiders. Bungie did a great job with this one.

Not much gaming as I’ll be traveling but I played Marathon and thought it was cool but maybe too sweaty for me. Also started playing Minecraft dungeons with my kid and it’s definitely a fun romp, baby first dungeon crawler.

Got the platinum in Sons of Sparta. I enjoyed the story a lot, gameplay was fine enough. It didn’t me in a God of a war mood so I have Ascension, ghost of Sparta and chains of Olympus loaded on my PS3 and ready to go.

Finishing up Watch Dogs 2 platinum. I very much prefer the first game in terms of tone and theme. The crew in part 2 remind me of the crew in the Saints Row reboot which isn’t a compliment. Thankfully the gameplay is fun enough. Once that’s done it’s onto Sons of Sparta!

Wrapped up the Watch Dogs platinum and that game has aged really well. Also wrapped up Arise which was a great time and a heartfelt story. Been revisiting games so next up might be Spirit of the North to polish those trophies off. I bought Loveish which looks absolutely amazing so I might get to that as well.

Just got the platinum in Arc Raiders. Now I can prep for Marathon.

Playing Black Myth Wukong. Beat the story and secret boss. Now just preparing for NG+ to go for the platinum. The game is great and really love the combat.

Finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I really enjoyed it and thought it captured what Indiana Jones is. Will enjoy the NFL playoffs as I ponder what game to tackle next.

Started Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and really digging it so far. For multiplayer Arc Raiders as always and just hopped into Elden Ring Night Reign with a friend.

Rang in the new year by getting the Borderlands GOTY edition platinum. Now I started Doom the Dark Ages and having an absolute blast.

Playing Borderlands GOTY edition. Not sure if it still holds up. Also playing Sonic Crossworlds and that game absolutely kicked Mario Kart Worlds ass. I did all the time trials so that might have been the hardest thing to do in attempting to platinum the game.

This game beat the brakes off Mario Kart World. Haven’t touched MK since launch and currently going for the platinum in Crossworlds.

Just got the platinum for Skate Story and I love that game. Top 5 for me this year and best true indie game. Must play especially for PS+ members since it’s free.

Playing Arc Raider still, will be playing that continuously. Started Kiborg and having a pretty good time with it. Need a single player game as both Kiborg and Arc are run based games.

Absolutely addicted to Arc Raiders. It’s just so good, every run is unique as well as encounters with other raiders who are mostly friendly but sometimes you gotta do what needs to be done. Only thing is two trophies are currently glitched but I can see myself getting the platinum for this game. On the side is a little Hirogami which the late levels are surprisingly challenging. Just picked up Dispatch so plan on starting that also if I can pull myself away for Arc.

Got the platinum in Sonic Frontiers and absolutely loved that game, hoping for a sequel. Started up Hirogami and so far it’s a cool indie game and I’m enjoying it. I got it on sale for $19.99 and I think that’s the perfect price point opposed to its $29.99 retail price.

Got the platinum in Yotei and should definitely be a GOTY contender, I personally have it after DS2 and Expedition 33. I fired up Sonic Frontiers and I’m absolutely loving it. The story is whatever but I’m enjoying just uncovering the map and doing all the challenges. Really digging the change of pace for the franchise.

Still playing and enjoying Yotei. The writing had been really good across the main quest and side quests with interesting turns. About 44 hours in and only 3/6 members killed. Pokémon ZA has me interested, so I started playing Scarlet which I had but never played and on the switch 2 it’s really fun so far. Enjoying the freedom to compete the game how you want and just catching Pokémon out in the open.

Ghost of Yotei and Battlefield 6. Loving both and been splitting my time with them pretty evenly.

Ghost of Yotei. Simply an amazing game. The combat is so fun and fluid and Atsu is a great protagonist.

During the week I competed Jusant. I never expected a game all about climbing would be so fun and relaxing. I’m playing through Telltales Batman Enemy Within to get my 149th platinum which will put Ghost of Yotei in line for #150. Batman really fits the telltale formula with the detective aspects and being Bruce Wayne. The story and choices are really intriguing. Because I’m having such a fun time with it I picked up Wolf Among Us as I’ve heard great things and there is a sequel in development.

Got the platinum for Hollow Knight and Sword of the Sea during the week. Looking for a short game before Ghost of Yotei so I’m trying Jusant. Played an hour and it is chill and relaxing just figuring out how to keep scaling up.

Playing Sword of The Sea, cleaning up the remaining trophies. Also started the original Hollow Knight. So far I’m enjoying it, the boss fights are challenging but fair and all about knowing how to avoid their attacks. Great game but I don’t yet understand the hype but maybe that will change as I continue.

Got the platinum for Death Stranding 2, amazing game but some of the facilities were a real slog to 5 star. Not much gaming planned this weekend but if I find time maybe sword of the sea. I did try Sonic Crossworlds and it doesn’t feel as good as MK world but it is more fun.

Endgame of Death Stranding 2 en route to the platinum. Played and platinumed The Ascent which was pretty fun. The next game I’m looking forward to playing is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, game looks awesome.

@GemDog669 I love that game so much!

Been playing the Amazing Death Stranding 2, but then Ninja Gaiden Ragebound stole the lions share of my playing time. Truly an amazing and fun game, just have to beat hard mode to get the platinum and then it’s back to DS2 which improved on every aspect of the first game. Also sprinkle in a little DK Bananza on the side.

Started Death Stranding 2 and playing DK Bananza as well. 2 GOTY contenders.

I think Sony will see what Helldivers does on Xbox. Sony is seeing Xbox games dominating their top 10 games sold list and probably thinking they can do the same. However, keep in mind most Xbox consumers don’t buy games such as the PlayStation consumer. I think whatever live service games Sony still have in development will go everywhere possible, but the single player games will not.

Death Stranding Directors Cut. I played and beat the PS4 version at release, but I wanna get the platinum before jumping into the sequel which I bought on release to support. Dabbling in DK Bonanza but DS is too addicting.

Wrapping up the platinum for Clair Obscure and what an impactful game. Truly an amazing experience every gamer should experience. My GOTY so far, only Death Stranding 2 may have a chance of dethroning it.

Started Clair Obscure and man what a game. It is living up to all the hype I heard about it, the story, the writing, the combat all amazing.

Working on the Doom Eternal Platinum. Bought Death Stranding 2 for support but I’m contemplating playing the directors cut since I beat the game in 2019. Also been playing some Hotline Miami.

Not much gaming this weekend, but I did manage to platinum The Precinct. I had a great time with it, gave me a police experience that wasn’t boring like the simulators. Also loved the semi top down camera angle, reminded of the original GTA games. Highly recommend.

@Jrs1 there’s always civilians to harass 😂

Trying to wrap up the platinum in Sea of Stars. I adore this game, what a gem! After I knock that out I’m going to play The Precinct. The old school GTA top down camera along with being a cop sounds like a grand ole time.

Traveling for the holiday weekend, but I’m right before the last story boss in Sea of Stars. What a great game, the combat is really intuitive and has good strategy involved. Can’t wait to finish up when I get back.

Wrapped up the platinum for X-Men Origins Wolverine. Such a fun action game that I wish we got more of. Not sure what to tackle next, the backlog is out of hand. Maybe Kena, maybe Black Myth Wokong, maybe Metaphor idk lol.

Started X-men Origins Wolverine on PS3. I really miss these type of games where it’s just pure fun and action.

Wrapped up the platinum for AC shadows, by far the weakest story of any AC game in my opinion but the gameplay with Naoe is so good. Started Tails of Iron and having a blast with it. You have to be thoughtful about combat, if you just hack and slash your going to die within 3 or 4 strikes.

Bouncing between WWE2K25 and The Show 25. Going to start AC shadows as well.

Trying to wrap up the platinum for MH Wild. Also playing the best sport sim in MLB the show 25.

Endgame of MH Wilds, might pick up WWE 2K25 because the roster and gameplay might make it the best 2K game to date.

Finished up Crypt Custodian, I highly recommend that game for everyone. Currently playing Akimbot, a Ratchet and Clank clone without the budget. It’s ok, but the companion robot is very annoying. I bought Monster Hunter Wilds and will definitely be hopping on that.

Finished RDR2 story, it really enhanced the ending of RDR1 for me. I’d love to get the platinum but that is a very slow burn. I’m feeling Dante’s Inferno can be my next game.

I started 50 Cent Blood in the Sand but realized I can’t get the platinum due to the servers being down 😔. On a PS3 binge of simpler times so I have Dante’s Inferno, Deadpool and X-Men Origins Wolverine inbound.
