I still have the final area to do in Pragmata. I'm wanting to 100% all the others and complete the training before I go ahead and race to the finish.

Hoping to maybe finish Pragmata if I get time this weekend. Plenty other games to get through. I still have Death stranding 2 to start and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 which I picked up this week for £27.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I picked up a physical copy of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Smyths this week for £27. Always worth keeping an eye on their website to see some great deals.

Looking forward to Saros at some point. I'm still enjoying Pragmata which is fantastic, looks like we will get a good run of sci-fi games in 26/27. I platinumed Returnal before they patched in the save state, I'll play it the way the devs intended. Never understood the whole modding thing on PC

I finished my first playthrough of Ninja Gaiden:Ragebound, in the middle of the week. So this weekend i'll probably play more Pragmata I must be close the the boss in the third area. Loving it so far.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Online multiplayer games aren't for me. I'm waiting on Horizon 3 as I loved the first 2 games. Let's hope Aloy doesn't constantly go on about the puzzles, like she did in forbidden west. Aside from that it's my favourite series and I look forward to seeing how they wrap it up and implement the casting of Keith David as Sylens.

@CutchuSlow that's good that you gave it a go. I would never go by footage alone when it comes to games. Getting hands on is always the best way.

@CutchuSlow try the demo you'll get a better idea. I'm enjoying it. Took down the second boss last night before I went to bed

@WolfyTn no problem. I'll let you know what I think once I play it for a bit at the weekend. I'm sure it'll become second nature once you play for a bit.

@JoeNobody @WolfyTn I pre-ordered it for £41.99 so that's a decent price. Looks amazing and the demo was superb.

Just got back from watching The Super Mario Galaxy movie, with my niece. We both had a great time.

Last night I got my 50th platinum trophy with Astrobot, what an amazing game funny, inventive and just full of charm. I love a dark adult story in my games but sometimes something like Astrobot comes along and makes you feel like a kid again. 10/10 would love a sequel and for Sony to put out this quality of game more regularly, rather than chase the live service cash cow.

Might continue on with Ender Magnolia as I'm enjoying that.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I spied Death Stranding 2 and Astrobot for £29.99 and £33.99 at Smyths so I bought them both straight away using some birthday money.

I've been trying out a few games. I played Haste for a bit last night and it's fantastic. I'm about 5 hours in Ender Magnolia superb sequel. Also started Fist of the North Star. Love how OTT it is with the violence.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

I'll mainly be reading to finish off "Empire of the Dawn" but gaming wise I'm in a shoot em up kinda mood. I've been playing "Chorus", "Minishoot Adventure" & "Armored Core 6".

Have a great weekend everyone.

This weekend I rolled credits on Solar Ash & The Kaito Files. I also started Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. I have just reached the first proper boss. I will need to play about with my load out and see how to take him down, but really enjoyed what I've played so far.

Enjoy the remaining hours of the weekend everyone.

@GirlVersusGame I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one. Thanks for the @

Both Characters that I loved as a kid. I will always be down for more of both. I recently finished watching The Showa Era Godzilla movies and I had fun with those. Even the incredibly ridiculous ones had their moments. I'm also a huge fan of Shin Godzilla & Minus One. The Legendary movies are also fun. I like that they hark back to the bonkers movies from the early days.

Just played the demo and i'll buy it when it's released in April.

@GuttyYZ You should join us in the 'What are you reading?' Forum thread, always nice to hear what others are reading and add to the ever growing TBR with new recommendations 😉

I tried my best to introduce my nieces and nephews to top tier single player games. I failed miserably. Games such as Rayman Legends, Mario Wonder, Astrobot were described as boring, so they are hooked on that digital crack that is Roblox/Fortnite.

I myself have been gaming for almost 40 years and consider cutting back. I already have considerably by reading more and more books than picking up a (insert your controller of choice here). PS5 & Switch may be my last consoles, the future of gaming has to be something rather special to make me keep throwing money at it.

With so much to choose from it's sad these same titles remain at the top.

I'm juggling a few at the moment. Once I finish all these I'm hoping to stick to one game at a time for 2026. The games are:-

Disco Elysium which has just taken a crazy turn I didn't see coming.

Judgement 2: The Kaito Files, I should finish this today.

Pipistrello & The Cursed Yo-Yo, this game is fantastic I've taken out 2 bosses so far.

Planet of Lana, picked it up for just over £4 and loving what I've played of it.

Cocoon, I must be on the last part and might finish it this weekend. A real blast with this one.

Despatch. This game is gorgeous and hilarious. I've done the first 2 episodes.

Have a great weekend everyone, it a whiteout here in Aberdeen so I don't plan on leaving the house until I have to go back to work on Monday 😭

I have a huge backlog so sounds good to me. I did say that the PS5 & Switch would be my last consoles. For me to break that, the future of gaming will have to be really exciting and different from what it is now.

@UltimateOtaku91 I appreciate you checking that out for me. I'll maybe pick it up and play it with my other half, then she can decide if she can play it or not as it's her sisters kid.

@UltimateOtaku91 OK so something she shouldn't really be playing and definitely not alongside me haha.

Kids huh. She'll just have to stick to watching it on YouTube until she can buy and play it herself.
Thanks

Is this game suitable for a 15 year old? I fancy playing it myself but my niece has been watching playthroughs on YouTube . Maybe it has content that would be embarrassing to play alongside her uncle.

I'm 10 hours into Disco Elysium. Just a fantastic game. For the first few hours I was walking around with only one shoe on, until I spotted it walking past the area it was in. I've been jumping in and out of a lit of games this year. I think for 2026 I'm just going to focus on 1 at a time.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays folks!

@ShogunRok Some of the best gaming moments I've experienced and money/time well spent. So no need to apologise.

I played and loved the original Death Stranding when it first came out but have yet to jump on the sequel. Maybe in 2026.

I keep hearing great things about expedition 33 so also another one to get into at some point.

@ShogunRok with your articles you got me playing both the Yakuza and Trails series. So thanks to your recommendations I've enjoyed hundreds of hours of fantastic video games. I look forward to catching up with both series one day!

Need to get back to finishing The game over the holidays. Great game!

The only games I've played this year that are on the list are Silksong and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and I haven't finished Silksong yet. Hopefully will have time in the holidays to do plenty gaming and get stuck into my backlog in 2026.

Edit: Yooka-Replaylee and Pipestrillo and the cursed yo-yo are missing from the options.

495 hours for me. Top games were
1. Silksong
2. Psychonaughts 2
3. Lost Judgement
4. Red Dead Redemption
5. Yooka-Replaylee

@stocko OK. Thanks I hear there is a demo, I will give that a go. Cheers.

As someone who doesn't like football but loves anime/manga and JRPG's would this game be worth it for me?

Love both games, Can't wait for the third one. I still need to get the Ps5 upgrade for the original and play it on my PS5, maybe something to do over the Christmas holidays!

I haven't played anything for a bit. Need to jump back into Silksong. Focusing more on reading (just started Dungeon crawler carl). I'm on an anime binge. I've only 7 episodes left of Demon Slayer, before im all caught up and have to wait for the movies. I also picked up my favourite all time t.v. show on blu-ray (Farscape) can't wait to start watching that again 😀.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Will mostly be out spending time with my Mrs. Out for food and to see Black Phone 2.

My old t.v. had become unwatchable, so bought a new proper 4K one. My previous one was almost 10 years old. I have a lot of games to replay now that will look like totally different with my new one.

Hopefully I'll get more of Silksong done but no doubt I'll put on some powerhouse games just to gawk at the imagery. Wish I'd upgraded sooner but the t.v. I had worked fine.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Silksong is still my main game. I want to try and do everything and see everything the game has to offer. I'm still on Act 2. Put in about 120 hours so far. I've beaten 18 bosses, I have 7 lined up and I'm convinced there is still more of the map to uncover. I refuse to look at guides unless im banging my head against a wall.

Besides Silksong I've been playing Yooka-Replaylee, Celeste and Nuclear Blaze.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I'll still be playing Silksong but have also started playing Celeste again. Almost got 100 strawberries after beating the main game back in 2020 im hooked on getting 100% now. Also Ori and the will of the wisps on Switch.

Have a great weekend folks.

@ApostateMage I had considered doing the same. My wife keeps asking if im going through a midlife crisis in my 40's🤣. I used to be great on rollerblades but threw them in the back of the wardrobe after a horrible fall. I may take that up again. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I backed the original as I was a huge Rare fan during the N64 and early Xbox days. £15 is a good deal will pick it up.

I haven't bought a £70 game in some time. I will now wait for a decent sale on games like that before I buy. Indies though I will snap up. Games £25 and under like Shinobi/Silksong were bought the day/week of release.

More Silksong for me. I beat First Sinner last night. Everyone seems to complain about the runbacks but I don't mind them. Gives you a chance to change your build and maybe go elsewhere. With First Sinner I didn't get that option, the game forced me into taking her out without any tools. I feel like Neo in the Matrix when I finally see patterns and go toe to toe with the bosses. As when you first encounter them they seem ridiculously impossible only for you to take them out no problem several attempts later.

Have a good weekend everyone!

I'm not a sports fan really, but I miss snowboarding games. Would love to see a new SSX or Amped I would spend hours on ending playing those and blasting music in my bedroom back in the day. Glad Silksong is doing great though, I love that game.

This weekend I'll continue playing Silksong. I beat 'The Last Judge' about an hour ago. What a rush. Might find something else to change it up a little.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I still have to play the 2nd game. maybe i'll pick it up around christmas. loved the original.

@Hurblyburbly keep at it. I'm sure you will hit a breakthrough at some point. Always plenty to do and explore if you get tired of fighting her. I'm looking forward to my many attempts.

@Mostik Congratulations. All the best for today.

Silksong, I've reached the door of the citadel. I could have done that ages ago but I've been thoroughly exploring everywhere else. Before I take on the Last Judge, I may try my hand at a couple of what seem like optional bosses and a mini game in the Marrow.

Have a great weekend everyone!

@Americansamurai1 Austin Abrams, was previously announced. He was in Weapons the directors previous movie.

@BusyOlf that's part of the fun. Would take away the buzz of the kill if you knew when it was coming.

@gaston @TimeDelayedGamer I loved The messenger. One of those games you wish you could forget and play over again.
