Banging on with AI Limit to reach the end so I can get back to Nioh 3. I also am working on Art of Rally which I’m really enjoying. Beyond that I’ve got a backlog of started games I’d like to also work on.

I still have my PS3 Netflix Disc. Crazy to think that support for the PS3 is still going. I did fire mine up last year to play some older games though.

Honestly, I’m all over the place this weekend! Nioh 3 demo along with Resident Evil 3 and AI Limit. I’m also dipping into Arknights Endfield because I want to see what the building aspect of it is like. I also need to work my way through FF Tactics.

A little bit of everything when I’m not busy with the kids.

I really think they want to be this generation’s Witcher 3. Looking back at that game it’s hard to believe we got what we got at the time.This feels unreal too, and it’s becoming my most anticipated game.

@RudeAnimat0r you had me at Streets of Rage 4. Does it have more to it than Cosmic Invasion? I enjoyed that but felt like when I was done with it there was no reason to stick around.

@KundaliniRising333 I got it on sale during the holiday event on PSN. If you liked Code Vein I think you’d like it. I’m impressed by it for what it is: China Hero project developed game, first game by the developer, and an anime style soulslike. In other words, it’s not clunky, but it’s not top tier, but well worth the price.

I’ll still play it. I liked the first one. It just might be a sale game since Nioh 3 is coming and I’ve already got AI Limit as my current soulslike.

I’m curious but have so much to play I’ll see what the community decides. Some people are too quick to crap on games, because they forget what truly awful games are like.

@IntrepidWombat same here! In the Carolinas and waiting to see how this all turns out.

@IntrepidWombat are you also in the path of the major US winter storm this weekend?

@Onearmbandit I got a good few hours enjoyment out of Maniac so it’s nice to see someone else enjoy it as well!

Platinum on Marvel Invasion finished. Did the whole thing solo and loved it. Still working on FF Tactics and AI Limit

I also started messing with The Exit 8 and it’s awesome as an experience.

Don’t know how much time to play I’ll get before we lose power in the nasty ice storm coming our way.

Honestly, been playing the same stuff and itching for a new experience but have no idea where to go next, and hate to abandon what I’ve been playing, but time constraints have made it tough to not play something in short bursts.

Once again I continue to work through FF Tactics, a game I missed growing up. I’ve also been mixing in, AI Limit and loving it. Beyond that I finished Lego Journey and it’s simple but it really moved me. That’s probably all for now. I still want to do more than the hour I gave Kingdom Come so far. I also need to wrap up Cosmic Invasion

It was on my to check out list but I guess I’ll hold off

I really enjoyed the demo to the point that I quit playing it to save it for release. I love the friends pass idea, but for my co-op buddy and I that means I would have to own it (I cannot go without those digital trinkets!). We found out the hard way with Split Fiction when he kept shouting trophy and I had nothing on my end.

I’m usually content with each month. Mickey will be great for me and the kids, I started NFS when it was on Premium and found it serviceable, and I’m happy to give Core Keeper a shot as it’s a game I wouldn’t pay for normally

@Kraven I too am just getting around to FF Tactics for the first time, and 5 hours in I get why so many consider it so highly. Maybe I don’t play many tactics games, but there’s something special even about the story when you think of the time period in which the game was made and released.

Finally getting to FF Tactics, a game I missed growing up. Afterwards, AI Limit will be keeping me busy. Beyond that I downloaded Lego Journey and it’s simple but touching on its subject matter. That’s probably all for now. I finally gave Kingdom Come a proper go before realizing I’d need to dedicate my time to that solely. So it’s on the to do list.

So much to play before all the 2026 games arrive! Happy gaming all!

I constantly sub to premium out of comfort, but never take advantage of the games offered. My goal is to check off at least one game a month from the catalog to “get my money’s worth”.

Finally snagged the platinum for Wuchang! Now onto something lighter; Cosmic Invasion. After that I have no idea where to go. Maybe I finally purchase and tackle AI Limit or FF Tactics. Enjoy all!!

Happy New Year. I have to ask is it “from a PlayStation persuasion” or did you want to say “PlayStation perspective”? it’s been nagging me since I read it earlier.

I really want to give this a spin but I also fear it’s not for me. Once it hits a cheaper price and I’ve got nothing to play I’ll give it a whirl. It’s great to see it getting updates though as it looks like a game that you could get lost in for 30 or for 300 hours.

Out of town and two very sick kids so not much. Using my Portal though I’ve worked on Wuchang Fallen Feathers as I head toward the platinum and some Cosmic Invasion mixed in. I am working on Phantom Liberty and occasional Skate Story chapter as well; but several games in my cart are also calling my name in this latest PSN sale. So much to play!

Easy for me it’s Death Stranding 2. I loved Atomfall too because it was different and respected my time. I guess KCD2 I need to give a whirl but I feel the need to tackle the first one first.

I barely scratched the surface with 5, so I’ll claim this for down the line (pun intended).

DS2 well deserved. Although I didn’t get Trails and want to (it’ll be my first), I can say that this is a solid list. Never made it around to Yotei either (Sony sequel fatigue), but I know I need to give it a fair shake at some point.

@DennisReynolds amen. BallxPit was very impressive; it’s hard to call SilkSong indie with the budget and time they had. We need a better definition of indie games. To me SilkSong hits levels of AAA Metroidvania development.

Since I’ve been done with the Cronos New Dawn Platinum I’ve been in a funk. Played some Arc Raiders this week, but also got back into Wuchang Fallen Feathers and the Phantom Liberty DLC. I’m leaning toward Divinity OS 2 but I never finished Baldurs Gate so I’m not sure.

Also tested out Marvel Invasion and it’s very fun but also not as much fun by yourself so there that.

Anyway, I think Wuchang will be my next platinum and then maybe I’ll know what I can really sink my teeth into next.

@1970sGamer is it as hard as everyone says?! I keep hesitating on pulling the trigger on buying it because I don’t want to make no progress and feel burnt by the purchase.

@Daleaf it’s the perfect sci fi time travel slop and I love it. Enjoy!

@Daleaf enjoy the ride! It’s easy to write it off as a Dead Space inspired game, but there’s 12 Monkeys in there, Silent Hill, Parasite Eve, and a few other really good nods. My advice is know that the game will always know how much ammo you need so don’t stress about ever being low, and charge your shots! Every single person I’ve seen turned off by the game doesn’t charge every shot they fire.

@KingPev Look up a Maelle build. She’s broken enough that with her and a ma ch one gun Verso build (which you don’t even need) you can clear the tower quickly. That should help!

Cronos New Dawn Platinum achieved! What a game. Top 3 this year for sure.

I’ll continue Arc Raiders and working towards level 75. The grind continues.

Beyond that I’m looking to get lost in either finishing Ender Magnolia, more hands of Balatro, System Shock, Shinobi, or maybe purchasing something new like Sektori. We shall see. Enjoy the weeekend all!

1. Death Stranding
2. Expedition 33
3. Cronos New Dawn
4. BallxPit
5. Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

Shout out to First Beserker, Hell is Us, and Metal Eden as also super enjoyable games.

@Dyomun Wo Long is amazing. I thought it was underrated and I snagged the platinum at some point when I played it. There is an early skill check boss, and after that, it feels mostly manageable.

I almost bought Mirage in the last sale, but something inside me yelled “Hold!” and lo and behold here we are.

Forgot to mention above I’ll be in the Closed Beta of a certain Marvel game and bouncing in and out of Shinobi as well!

Well I’m near the platinum still in Cronos so I’ll wrap that up.

Then more Arc Raiders and some more Where Winds Meet. I also really have enjoyed the PS5 port/remaster of System Shock this week. I’m terrible at it but loving it.

Lastly, I will probably play Ender Magnolia as I abandoned it and need to get back to it.

Happy gaming weekend all!

Snagged the platinum last week and will be happy to revisit it next year.

This was not on my radar as I am Marveled out (as I suspect more and more people are), but it sounds so good I am going to give it a go!

@Jrs1 fantastic game. Can’t believe I stuck 30 hours into it. It was easily interfering with every other game I played.

@Jrs1 with BallxPit I wound up using remote play and using the auto play character combined with every other character to complete levels toward the platinum. Allowed me to check the game every fifteen minutes like I was baking while actually spending the day doing other things. Then last night I played manually for the remaining character or two I had left.

After about 30 hours the BallxPit platinum is mine. Top 5 games this year.

Working on the Cronos New Dawn platinum as well now.

Then it’ll be Arc Raiders with my mate, some more Where Winds Meet, and then I started Shinobi and am thoroughly enjoying it.

I’m having the itch to pay and play something new as well but have no idea what I’m in the mood for. Happy gaming all!

Top 3 game of the year for me next to DS2 and Expedition 33. Definitely deserves more praise and exposure. Takes cues from all the best in the genre while telling a very interesting tale with multiple layers of meaning.

@StitchJones the entire game is top notch as it pulled ideas from every game that it was a love letter to: Singularity, Dead Space, Silent Hill, Parasite Eve, etc. I hope it earns more recognition as time moves forward. Maybe a sequel will bring more into the fold.

Such is our calling.

@Metonymy I’m not suggesting anything by this but I thought the game was pretty easy first time through and if anything was tricky it was the final boss. I was thrown off in the 4th phase by having to reverse engineer the concrete to hide for the AoE. So here’s hoping round 2 is just as smoothe!

After beating Cronos The New Dawn, I’m working on the platinum. It’s top five games for me this year easily.

I’ll also be working toward the BallxPit platinum as I’ve already beat the base game and am working on cleaning up every stage with every character.

Lastly, Arc Raiders with my mate and Where Winds Meet will get a good look this weekend. I’m really digging the WWM aesthetic, so I hope the game keep me engaged beyond the terrible English dialogue lol.

Last but not least, I need to find something new to play, so maybe Shinobi but we will see.

I'd rather sports games be on a 2-4 year cycle; as a fan of TheShow and FC, I tend only to purchase every two years anyway, unless I am itching to dig into that year's release. And at some point, how much more can we improve certain titles?

I was really looking forward to this for the aesthetic and gameplay, but it sounds like I may have ot hold off until a sale. I'll still check it out, but with so much to play already, my wallet can wait.

Finally I wrap up Cronos The New Dawn and prepare myself for NG+. This sits easily in my top 5 games for the year. It’s inspiring me to go back to finish SH2 Remake.

Still also going top side Solo in Arc Raiders since my mate is out of town and I’ve got no other friends to run amuck with. In addition I’m working on the platinum for BallxPit as I’ve got the last level and some characters to finish up.

When all is said and done Where Winds Meet and Shinobi are my next two adventures.

So much to play!
Enjoy the weekend all!
