@GamingGod what a totally bizarre take when the PS Store exists.

You should go take a look through that at some point, will blow your mind

Oh, go on then. Not like I have a massive amount to play anyway 🙄

I've gone and picked up Ball x Pit, Invisible Inc and Hellblade in the sale, currently hooked on Ball x Pit.

So those, a bit of Crimson Desert, maybe a bit of Terra Invicta on the PC.

Have a good weekend all.

Crimson Desert for me, have been quiet enjoying riding around and picking up things to do.

Tempted to pick up both Mouse PI and Pragmata... Will probably get Mouse this evening.

A bit of Terra Invicta on the PC as well I think.

Tempted to pick this up but just brought Crimson Desert. Defo on the wish list. And probably be bought before the weekend 🙄

Thanks for the review!

I was on the fence and admittedly I'm not all that far in, but it's been enjoyable so far.

Two sides of the coin can have some merit on this, yeah we'd all love games to be finished but let's be honest, how often does that happen nowadays.

Tha nature of our online world mean games can be rushed for the shareholder value on a specific date and finished later.

At least the devs are working on the issues and listening to the users. We all know there are times out there where the Devs have abandoned too quick, or been unable to polish the turd, so to speak

This one has me intrigued but the time it demanded was off-putting, I find myself more into shorter games these days however, I find myself somewhat unfortunately signed off work on medical leave, so have bit the bullet despite the mixed reaction.

Only just fired it up so just trying to figure out... Well most stuff.

Arguably could have been delayed from what I have read but glad to see the Devs are at least busy fixing bugs.

I think I got most of my enjoyment from gaming in 2025 in Indies, AA and strategy games.

A lot of the 100+ hour, open world, fetch quest games that we have become used to no longer do it for me anymore, probably with exceptions here and there.

For example I enjoyed GoT well enough back when I first played it, however, we good as it was, these days, the thought of a game like Yotei does absolutely nothing for me.

So probably to just focus more on what I enjoy at the minute and look for the innovation in the indie/AA markets.

I'll give Epic Mickey a try, almost bought it a couple of times. My indecision has paid off.

Already own NFS, been a while since I have played it but it was decent enough.

I'll add Core Keeper to the list of Essential games added to my library to remain unplayed

Picked it up yesterday on PS5 but yet to play.

Did play the demo on Steam last month though, good fun.

Will get into it with the wee man tonight

Played the demo on PC a few weeks back and was enjoyable, looking forward to this

Not much on console for me this weekend.

Will work my way through the Sponge Bob festival on Sonic Racing but otherwise it will be PC for me, Anno 117 and/or EU5 are the current focus.

Hope you all have a good one

Nothing for me, thankfully.

Can't even be bothered to do my usual and crack and buy FIFA.

Sonic Racing Minecraft Festival

And since it's getting closer to the end of the month, I've line up the RE2, 3 and 4 remakes and SOMA to work my way through.

Have a good one all!

I'm in a bit of a funk with games, nothing is really catching my attention at the minute.

So will likely just been some Sonc Racing with the kid, get through the festival stuff etc.

Tempted to fire up another run of Civ 7 on PC to see what the new patch is like.

Have a good one all!

I remember getting it for Christmas the year it launched, what a machine, I loved it.

Wasn't long before an illicit trade sprung up at school, with one lad selling games for £5 you could play using the paper clip trick.

Shinobi for me.

And I've gone back and fired up Hollow Knight. Never did get round to it, kinda caught up in the hype or Slilksong, so will get through the first before picking that up.

I picked up Psychonauts on Steam for 69p or something daft a while back, maybe now a good time to play through it then move onto the 2, I hear it's good.

Already have Stardew Valley, Viewfinder not interested in.

Very solid month.

I'm feeling indecisive, so far today I have played a little of

Shinobi
Sonic Racing Crosswords
MGS (was gonna replay MGS and MGS2 before picking up Delta but I may shelf that for now)
Roadcraft

And Tempest Rising on PC.

Nothing is scratching the itch today

Was never a Gears of War fan, so I'll skip that but good to see it on PS.

Shinobi! Stupidly excited for this.

Man, I loved Shinobi on my Megadrive, so this is already pre ordered.

I have put a stupid amount of hours into ETS over the years on PC, really quite a relaxing game to just kick back with, pop on althe radio and drive.

Will be picking this up

Will be picking up Sword of the Sea

I'll likely still pick it up after we get some impressions on console performance, I enjoyed 1 and 2 (never bothered with 3) and am bored to tears of games expecting weeks of my time to complete them, and open worlds full of filler that adds little.

I love pretty much anything to do with the Italian Mafia and a focussed, linear story with that setting is right up my street.

Man this next couple of months is hard going on the wallet.

Mafia Old Country
Silent Hill f
Sonic Racing
Hell is Us
Shinobi

"Corporation changes strategy to make more money"

Hardly surprising, couldn't really care less, if they do. Hardly makes a compelling point to own either console however, and given they are pretty much just less powerful, convenient PCs with a few bells and whistles, I wonder if the inevitable will be in time they will both abandon hardware and focus on dev/publishing.

I've nearly bought Lies of P a million times but then remember it's a Soulslike and I don't have the patience in my old age to master them.

But I will definitely be giving it a try, with the intention of buying the DLC if I get along with it

Other 2 games, meh

Still a cracking month though

@trev666 I also enjoyed the first more than the second.

Still fire it up from time to time, would welcome SoD3 on PlayStation

I think I was burnt out of large open worlds by the time I got to GoT, I played it when I had a sub to Extra.

It was enjoyable to a point, can't lie, it looked good, story seemed solid, decent characters.

I just got bored running around the world.

Never been a fan of the newer GOW games so something new would be nice.

I'll do what I usually do and say I'm not gonna buy it then when it gets an inevitable Black Friday or December Deals discount I'll cave.

Surely can't be much worse than last year 🤷🏼‍♂️

Few things on my wishlist have cropped up. Gonna pick up Kentucky Route Zero and The Blue Prince I think

I was just thinking my system could do with some more stability, seems likes it's been a while.

Thank the wee man they have sent us a secret update!

Man, how I loved those first two games.

I actually had the first, played about 10 mins and traded it.

Bought it back a couple of years later and loved it.

Second Son was OK but those first two were fantastic.

@dardel yeah, some cracking deals on there at the minute, really does make this 15 year celebration look quite pitiful in comparison

Thankfully this sale is garbage, the Steam Summer Sale has damaged my wallet a bit!

Glad I skipped this, have watched a few let's plays this morning and it looks awful performance, frames rates, bugs.

Hopefully in a year or so we will be looking at it a bit differently with a bit of work. But can't see me parting with cash for this effort any time soon

I've watched a few people playing it.

If this is gonna need user generated content then it's gonna end up on Essential when it hits an inevitable slump and needs a user bump, think I'll try it out then.

Yup, that will be a handy feature, although I now has 3 Dual Sense, 1 for PC and 2 for the PS5.

Still handy to know I can have them all synced to both with less messing around repairing

Still have a temptation to pre order MindsEye despite it looking pretty tragic from what I have seen 😂

I really just need to get stuck into my backlog

I'm still playing Deliver at all Costs, it's fun enough, not great. Hopefully get it finished up the weekend.

Will no doubt jump on FH5 at some point.

And I quite fancy firing up the PC and Civ 7, not played it since launch, will check out the new patches and such like

The Precinct was the only one I picked up,nreally enjoyed it so that.

Ridge Racer if it wasn't so bloody expensive.

Otherwise the Switch 2 arrives this week so I'll probably be spending a bit of time on that

Completed The Precinct, very enjoyable game so have now moved on to Deliver at all Costs... Which is enjoyable enough, could be better though... So much loading.

Also sprinkling in some FH5 and will be looking to fire up a new campaign on Civil 7 on the PC seeing as a new patch is out.

And my new Chroma Dual Sense just arrived so will need to give that a bit of use.

Have a good one!

Well, I'm sure once it is out there and rated 11/10 by everyone he will be proven correct.

🙄

The more I see of this, the more meh I feel towards it.

Will wait for some reviews/play throughs to see, looks like a wait for a sale at best type of game for me though

Don't think I have played a basketball game since NBA Jam back in the day.

Destiny... Nah.

Kids talk highly of Bomb Funk so will give that and Alone in the Dark a try

Bank holiday weekend baby!

The Precinct for me, gonna get that finished up today hopefully, have enjoyed it so far, really fun game and been ideal this week WFH, can just pop on, do a shift over lunch.

I have finally caved and bought FH5 despite already having played it to death, so will no doubt he firing that up.

Also picked up Deliver At All Costs this week as well, once I am finished up with The Precinct that will be next.

I was keeping an eye on this along with The Precinct, which I am really enjoying.

Seems to be a big of a mixed bag of reviews out there but at £25, I'm gonna take a punt on it
