@Nightcrawler71 like you, I never originally completed Forbidden West after starting, but in the last month I’ve managed to complete the main story and will probably be finishing up the DLC soon. The game takes some time to get going but it’s fantastic once it does and definitely is a huge improvement over the first game. After the DLC I’m going for that shiny platinum trophy! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I just upgraded to extra last night because it had so many games I’ve been wanting to play but never had the time, and some
games are tough to find on a sale. Buying all of them separately would cost a good amount compared to the sub. Ghost wire Tokyo, FF7 Remake on ps5, Humanity (vr2), dmc5, returnal, GTA5 (been putting it off too long), judgment, lost judgment, NieR replicant, and Gotham knights are just some of the games I’ll be looking to complete this year from extra. Not a bad group of games for the price. I own RE2 as well, so this month is kinda meh, but overall happy with the value Extra has.

@Deljo evil west is such a nice surprise. I like it a lot more than I thought I would

This is exciting as I’m still just scratching the surface of Cyberpunk 2077. Excited to experience the rest of it along with Phantom Liberty.

@rusty82 that is totally worth it

Just finished Immortals of Aveum last night. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of high fantasy, FPS, single player story driven games. Beat it on normal mode in 13 hours or so, and despite some difficulty spikes and weird puzzles it felt pretty fun to play most of the time. The gameplay feels like Doom or Wolfenstein way more than I expected. Was expecting more CoD vibes as the creative director came from making CoD games. The lore is deep as it is written by a Morrowind/Oblivion writer.

The rest of the weekend I’ll be switching between the absolutely gorgeous Burning Shores and ever-depressing world of Cyberpunk 2077 - about 13 hours into the main story here. Happy gaming!

@Mostik definitely grabbing it at some point. Waiting for a physical copy price drop

@Northern_munkey I’m pretty close to finishing immortals and I’ve enjoyed it as well despite some weird difficulty spikes on normal mode. The puzzles kinda suck too imo

@Mostik nice! I love my vr2 admittedly don’t play it as much as I thought I would but still glad I have it especially for Horzion and Beat Saber. Still need to track down a physical copy of galaxy’s edge

@trymer89 it’s fantastic! I beat the main story a few weeks ago, but can’t put it down. Thankfully it’s got DLC! Just started that definitely recommend it so far

@playstation1995 😂 totally agree. Can’t wait to dive into this as well

@MrGilly69 blows me away as well. I found it to be my least favorite game I’ve ever played from Naughty Dog. Gave it a fair shake but couldn’t finish it.

@playstation1995 I always love reading your comments especially with the iconic “word up son”

After reading this article I definitely need to play some of these. Dead Space was experienced back in the day during wisdom tooth removal recovery, so I’m curious how the remake would play in nowadays in a more aware state. RE4 seems to be a must play especially for someone who never experienced the original.

Playin some Spider-Man 2 like many of you, as well as, LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga on Switch.

@nessisonett I’m in the same boat with my pc as well

To finish out my weekend I’ll be playing some Season of the Splicer in Destiny 2 and maybe work on my Ghost of Tsushima platinum.

Haven’t tried it yet, but I’m excited to play it on PS5 when I finally get my hands on one.

Do you think this discount will stay long? I want to see Days Gone reviews before I decide which game to get.

I’ve heard of it but have never seen gameplay. I have been craving some Diablo for awhile, but just haven’t re-downloaded it. Maybe I’ll give this a try instead!

Great review, Liam! I tend to agree with most/all of your reviews. Probably going to wait for a sale before I pick this one up.

Thank you! Was about to look up the song after watching the trailer. PushSquare coming in clutch yet again!

So excited! COD 4 is one of my favorite games of all time, and a lot of Respawn worked on that game.

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to trying it.

Thanks @Splat

How do we access the free missions?

Gives me Killzone vibes. I have a feeling Dreams is going to give us some future masterpieces.

@TheArt Lol, I guess if you're used to Persona 5-lengthed games then I understand why you thought it was short.

So happy this is doing so well. RE7 was my first full play-through of a Resident Evil game, and I loved it. RE2 Remake exceeded my expectations. Now, I am hungry for even more survival horror. I would not mind at all if they remade the classic games like they did with RE2, while simultaneously continuing the FPS perspective and story they started with RE7.

I picked Leon first because I heard he had access to a shotgun, and that his campaign was slightly easier than Claire's. Figured it made sense to do the harder play-through second.

@TheArt God of War is FAR from short lol.

Love it, Capcom! Would be happy to pay for some more lengthy DLC in the future as I know these stories will probably be on the shorter side.

This makes sense. The founder of Skybound is Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead. I can see why he doesn’t want this beloved franchise to end on such a poor note.

Fortnite, No Man’s Sky, and Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze!

@ApostateMage lol!

@SwiftyKazari Thank you! Yeah, I'm hoping there's a lot to grind for. I'm craving a game I can really sink my teeth into.

Most likely no games for me this weekend. Finals start on Monday and I really should be studying right now instead of typing this. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys a full weekend of gaming. I plan on binging The Evil Within on Wednesday after my last final and hopefully finishing it before the release of SAO: Fatal Bullet.

@FoxyGlen Yes, that would be awesome!

@Lurker Thanks for further clarifying. I won't completely write off this game because of the save system. It is just a thing I see some games doing that annoy me. I wish developers could just find more creative and meaningful ways besides potentially wasting people's time, but if it's not as bad as I am thinking it is then that's a plus! The Souls series has mastered the art of meaningful choices and meaningful save points by way of the bonfire system.

I’m definitely on the fence about this one. I was really looking forward to it a couple years ago when I first heard about it, but the bugs, loading screens, and hyper-realism are kind of turning me off. One of my favorite games of all time is Skyrim. My favorite book genre is fantasy. So, lack of magic in this game is disappointing to me. I am also turned off by the lack of saving at any point. I am all for making gameplay impactful and important, but it’s 2018 and most people are super busy and have limited gaming time. I don’t mind putting 120 hours into a great RPG, but it irks me when I have to replay 3 hours of gameplay because the save system is so unforgiving. There should be more creative ways to encourage impactful choices and gameplay. Other than that, this seems like a great game to stream so I might just pick it up for that, and enjoy it for what it is.

Shadow of War is severely underrated and is extremely epic, @bonbonetti. You must’ve not surveyed the large scale battles on the back of a fire breathing Drake shortly after terrorizing 15 to 20 uruks on the back of a tree-sized Olog, before branding the surrounding archers to work in your favor. I can’t give this game enough praise. The micro transactions were blown out of proportion. They were so minuscule and didn’t make an impact on the game hardly at all. The game is an easy 9/10 and is among the best open world action games of the year. Some of the most fun I’ve had in a video game in a long time.

Wow, 2018 is turning out to be quite the year for games and it's not even February yet! Having only played through the first boss in the HD PS3 remaster. I'm looking forward to this immensely!

MH: World and maybe a little Ratchet and Clank platinum trophy grind.

SOA: Fatal Bullet is a day one for me. Don’t know why but I’m really eager to play it and I’ve never played and SOA game before. Will definitely get Shadow of the Colossus down the road.

Some realistic games I’d like to see for PS4: Knack 2, Inside, Oxenfree, Crypt of the Necrodancer, The Banner Saga, The Witness, Gravity Rush Remastered, and Firewatch.

DMC, Tales of Berseria, Nier: Automata, and Golf Story on Switch.

I agree with this list to a certain extent.

My list:

6. God of War: Ascension
5. God of War: Chains of Olympus
4. God of War: Ghost of Sparta
3.God of War 3
2. God of War
1. God of War 2

@shonenjump86 I picked it up last week, and I'm about four hours in so far. It is my first DMC so I can't really judge the changes to the character, but I do like the character, story, and gameplay. I'd recommend it especially if you have PS Plus it is only $9.99.

My vacation is almost over as I start school up again on Monday. I managed to play a lot over break and pick up some new games recently. Yesterday I managed to snag my local Gamestop’s only copy of Nier: Automata on sale for $30. When I’m not studying for my upcoming exam I’ll be playing through that and possibly mixing in some Telltale’s Batman, DMC, and Darksiders 2.

I’ve already put some time into Destiny 2 this weekend. Despite the poor reviews of the DLC, the slight improvements to the end game have made me come back hungry to grind to max power level on my warlock, hunter, and Titan. Hopefully next week’s ‘The Dawning’ event doesn’t disappoint. After I finish up my exams next week I’ll playing that like crazy.

I love this game. It definitely is underrated due to the many games that overshadowed [of war] it this year. I’d recommend this game to anyone who liked Shadow of Mordor, the Arkham games, or LOTR in general. It’s a bigger and better Shadow of Mordor. The combat is very deep when you really dive into the stats and abilities of the armor and weapons and combine them with the plethora of skills in the game. After I finished the main story and all of the collectibles I put the game down to play assassins creed. But I kept thinking about Shadow of war, and due to limited HD space I could not immediately play it cause I had to make room for AC: Origins. However, I ended up getting a little bored of Origins grinding out side quests in order to rank up so that I could be a high enough level to do the next story mission. So I did the switch back and put Origins aside so that I could keep playing shadow of war. The gameplay is just so fluid and deep. There are so many unique moments and stories that you have personally with the different orcs and I have so many laugh out loud memories. I just can’t recommend this game enough. If you’re on the fence about getting the game I’d highly recommend you do it. The micro transactions are hardly noticeable. They are a non-issue, and the game just gets better as you play and unlock more skills. It’s just so much fun. And to answer the question in the article, yes, I am excited about online pit fights.

@gingerfrog yeah, there’s definitely weird stigma surrounding Call of Duty and other games. Generally, the hardcore call of duty players solely play call of duty and it’s heresy to play other games. And on the other hand, casual cod players try it out every year for campaign, zombies then a little bit of multiplayer. Then there’s me, I am a pretty hardcore cod player (played every release since CoD3 generally putting 7-20 days worth of playtime in multiplayer), but I also play most major releases. I love games in general and would get bored if I only played CoD. I feel as though gaming news outlets like PushSquare, IGN, kindafunny, and easy allies never have a hardcore COD player voicing his opinion. Most of the time it seems Call of Duty gets put into this bubble that other annually released games do. The negative stigma probably has to do with the thought that the multiplayer is full of young immature kids squeaking profanities through their mics. This may be true at times there are still the veterans that love the game every year and keep coming back for the amazing gunplay and cinematics. Sorry for that rant haha. This has been on my chest for awhile. I need to write a soapbox about this to get all my thoughts down and points across. I’m just frustrated that there aren’t more cod players representing themselves on gaming news outlets and that there are some of us that play cod everyday but also play hellblade, horizon, TLOU, uncharted, assassins creed, shadow of war, etc. you get the point.
