Last night I 100% Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, a handful of trophies left to get the platinum but they are tied to the arcade and boss rush modes, I'll dive into those down the line at somepoint. Excellent game I highly recommend it for action fans.
Also last night I beat Sister Splinter in Silksong. Had a bazillion attempts, as when I first run into her I thought impossible too much stuff going on. Only to take her down later without getting hit. I felt like an unstoppable god, glorious. Will probably explore more later today with my new wall climbing ability, the map is really starting to open up now. Fantastic game! @Jrs1 brilliant game, are you going for the platinum? I'll do it another time as an excuse to keep playing.
@Czar_Khastik. I must get around to it at somepoint, keep hearing great things.
I finished Epic Mickey yesterday and I beat Traitor Lord in Hollow Knight, bumped it up from 88% to 93% after not having played it in ages. I also started Shinobi and it's excellent, I've beat 3 bosses so far.
On Switch I restarted Ori and the will of the wisps and did the arena battles in Sea of Stars.
Looking forward to it. I recently started playing Hollow Knight again. I left it at 88% done but have now got to 93% after getting a few more collectables and defeating Traitor Lord. Screw that guy!
A lot of people must have watched a different SoP from me. Loads of great games shown here, I know not everyone plays all genres of games and art is subjective and all that but to call it bad. 🤔
I've been wanting to play a platformer, So I'm playing 3 different ones. Epic Mickey rebrushed, Psychonauts 2 and Yooka-Laylee: The Impossible lair. Also still playing FFVI, Sekiro and Cuphead. Too many games and not enough time.
Lovely day here in Aberdeen, so the Mrs and I were out sorting the garden from 9am-2pm. Been to Tesco for tonight's munchies. I will watch some t.v. or a movie with my Mrs and then some Cuphead & Sekiro. Only Wally Warbles to beat on Isle 2 before I can go to Isle 3 and in Sekiro I'm in a misty woodlands trying to access a temple.
After finishing Red Dead Redemption last weekend, I have jumped back into Sekiro. When I last played it I had beaten the Chained Ogre and left it there. Now I'm on Lady Butterfly & Ashina Reservoir. So have done a good bit since picking it up again. Also got the platinum for The Last Campfire as a break from Sekiro last night. I received Armoured Core 6 in the post as well, never played a mech game before but am really curious, as I love them in anime and other media!
I finished my first ever playthrough of Red Dead Redemption. Fantastic game, I played RDR2 when it first came out. I wonder if they will ever do a 3rd one!
Everything seems fine to me. In the NE of Scotland. I only know because a colleague WhatsApped me about it saying she hoped I had a good book. Funnily enough all I've been doing lately is reading 📚.
I reached chapter 8 in Lost Judg(e)ment last night. Most definitely playing more tonight as the story has taken a dark turn. Not that it wasn't already!
One of my all time favourite games. Don't think it would have quite the same impact from just viewing it. Really hit me when I found out the Colossi were harmless!
I'm currently playing Lost Judgement, Nine Sols & Hades on PS5 & on Switch Ori & the blind forest & Golf Story.
I picked up a few games in the sales. Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect Legendary edition, Imp of The Sun on PS5 & Katana Zero & Pepper Grinder on Switch. Not back to work until the 3rd, so hopefully get some quality gaming & reading time as well as a cinema trip to see Nosferatu!
I haven't gamed properly in ages, now I'm finding myself playing quite a few. On PS5 Lost Judgement 2, FFVI remastered and Nine Sols. On Switch Tiny Thor, Sword of the Vagrant and Golf Story!
Apart from infrequently booting up my PS5 to play It Takes Two, with my niece, which we finally finished last weekend. I started Scarlet Nexus last night. So maybe more of that later.
Other than that I'll be watching The Godfather with my Mrs and continuing with reading Death By Water.
I'm happy to keep my original PS5. That and the Switch OLED are probably my final consoles. It will take some pretty innovative games, to keep me gaming into the future. VR still has a way to go and live service isn't for me. Need some new genres or some really exciting game mechanics.
We have our nieces staying over. So the eldest and myself will be finally be finishing It takes Two. We have only played a stage each time she has been. So will get that finished tonight!
@colonelkilgore I keep forgetting about Rebirth. Thanks for reminding me. I have a crazy backlog but I just haven't had the urge to game. Some cheap amazing games in my future though!
It's a fine day outside and we don't get much of those here, in the North East of Scotland. So will make use of the nice weather by going out. Haven't really been gaming for quite some time, I finished Hi-Fi Rush not long after it came to PS5. Reading is my main interest just now. Currently reading Sapiens and Fullmetal Alchemist manga volumes!
I'm playing how to stay sane when looking after my 9 & 6 year old nieces. Taking them into town this morning for a bit of shopping and lunch. The eldest is 10 later this month and getting a switch for her birthday. Might introduce her to some games!
Hopefully my sister & brother in-law won't fled town before I take the kids home tomorrow 😵💫.
I look forward to playing both games at some point in the future. Both look fantastic and I tried the demo for Stellar Blade which was excellent and Rebirth is the follow up to Remake, so instant buy!
I recently parted ways with the majority of my Star Wars stuff, I have kept the blu-ray set of I-VI and the NJO novels, hopefully get round to reading them soon. I'm sure it will be a fine game but for me Star Wars is no longer a must watch IP.
I'm hooked on Duolingo learning Japanese. Once my nieces have gone to bed I'll finish my current book. Is Mother Dead. The PS5 and Switch haven't been on in quite some time. Plenty to look forward to when I get the urge to game again though. Also picked up where I left off with Star Trek. Dropped it at Voyager a few years back but feel I'm ready to dive back In. Have a great weekend everyone!
I was flicking through the t.v. at the weekend and landed on an episode of Birds of a feather. A similar warning came up on the screen at the beginning of the episode. People need to toughen up rather than be offended by every little thing. Humanity is doomed!
@Relygon I considered getting all 3 machines, but not that much interests me these days from the Green team. I barely have time to play all the PS5 and Switch games I own. If the option was there to play their games on other systems, then I Don't have to worry about spending £400 - £500 quid on a machine that would gather dust whilst waiting for the odd game I was interested in. I have the Ori games on Switch.
I got rid of my 360 before Gears 3 came out so I would love to revisit that trilogy and complete it. I ĺoved 1 & 2. Would also love to play Lost Odyssey and replay Blue Dragon it was my first JRPG!
I picked up the Ori games on switch and they are pure magic. Only other game I'd be interested in is Hi-Fi Rush.
It would be amazing to see a proper revival of Rare and their IP's, but can't see that happening as surely it would have by now.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
I've reached the final boss in Shinobi 🥷 Art of Vengeance but clearing up the stages before I take him on.
Also Silksong, loving the game. I beat the Bell Beast and now just exploring.
I might play a bit of the Lost Judgement DLC as I'm a couple of chapters into that as well.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?
I couldn't help myself and started playing. I got to the first wee place then had Hornet sit on the bench. Already can tell it's going to be great.
Re: 7 Years in the Making, Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
I'll download it, but I might finish Shinobi first before I play it. I have a free weekend next week, so that could be a Silksong weekend!

Fantastic demo. I'm looking forward to the full game.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Officially Game Over for PSVR2?
I owned the original, but I gifted it to my nephews in preparation for upgrading to PSVR2. In the end I never got around to picking one up.

Re: Diablo 4's Berserk Crossover DLC Costs an Insane $150
For that price you can get the first 7 volumes of the Deluxe editions from Darkhorse. A much better investment!

Re: Rumour: Gears of War Collection Will Be Revealed for PS5 This Summer
I missed out on the third game, so I would love to revisit the series as the first two were some of my favourite games on the 360.

Re: GTA 6 Fans Are Obsessed with a Better Version of the PS5 Game's First Trailer
