After the advice from fellow Pushsqaurians I’ve purchased Diablo III and loving it so far (chose a Barbrian) plus I’m using my Access controller so a bit easier. Balatro as always is still being played and as far as my gaming slump last weekend well, I’m truly out of it by delving into Inscryption! Game is crazy addictive and weird. Beaten the Prospector and the Angler but died and now can’t seem to beat them again so gonna try for the third boss today and tomorrow🤞.
After 149hrs I FINALLY platinumed Diablo IV but now in a ‘what to play slump’ (apart from Balatro of course).
Tried playing Path of Exile to scratch the Diablo itch and it was ok so may continue that. Ragnarok needs my attention as well but gonna be working and taking care of children so doubt that’ll happen 😢.
My PSVR2 mate has asked me to try out a horror game called Afterlife which is based in an abandoned asylum. Pretty sure he just wants me to fall over his sofa screaming 😂.
In between the usual Diablo IV and Balatro I’m gonna be trying Inscryption, looks dark, creepy and damn weird so right up my street.
I recently tried my mates PSVR2 with a game called Red Matter. I was blown away how good it looked and how immersive it is . My mate pressed a button which boosted me forward and I ended up falling back on his sofa 😂. But VR just isn’t for me as I felt disoriented for about an hour afterwards.
And finally, after enjoying Alien:Earth I need to play Isolation, Fireteam etc anything with Xenomorphs in 👍.
1st film became a cult classic and this looks good but having not long finished the excellent remake, this does look a little off. As someone has already said, CGI looks dodgy and James Sunderland? What the hell 😂 I’ll still go and see it but it’ll be leave your brain at the door and enjoy it for what it is with a few beers and popcorn.
Finally beat Gold stake on Balatro so will be trying different decks/challenges later on. Need to get on the PC to finish Half Life 2 and start Sons of the Forest but Balatro and Diablo IV are so bloody addictive 😂.
I’ve made a start on GOW: Ragnarok and my word that game is awesome. Makes me angry I waited so long to play it!
Anyways that’s me sorted for the next 3 days. Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻
This weekend is mostly family (beer and football) with very little chance of long gaming sessions so it’ll be trying to beat Gold stake on the mighty Balatro and grinding on Diablo IV to get that paragon level 200 trophy 😭.
I also tried the Hell is Us demo which I really liked. Having no map and using clues to find where to go was new to me so that is why I’m thinking about a day one purchase!
My son has just got his first platinum trophy on Astros playroom and he was ecstatic so may have another trophy hunter on our hands!
It really is a fantastic story and if you can forget about the films and enjoy the games characters I reckon you’ll like it. I still need to get back in Veilguard now you’ve mentioned it.
@naruball Mass Effect 2 was mine, 1st game to pop in my head. Great story and characters. Guardians of the galaxy as well as I know it’s marvel based but such an awesome story and soundtrack. Really miss playing those story games.
I tried it and it was really buggy. My character was just spinning around with me touching anything! Characters couldn’t walk or run. Very annoying and disappointed with the game. Haven’t deleted it yet as I wanna give it a chance but it ain’t great.
Mainly Half Life 2 on the PC and Diablo IV on the PS5. Another busy family weekend so dipping in and out of those two and of course chasing the last Joker on Balatro on the PlayStation as I’ve got them all on the Switch.
This weekend I am mostly playing: Balatro, finally got the last joker by getting a new high score of 774 million! 👌(but on the switch). Will try to get a similar score on PS5 🤞 Days Gone: Remastered, it’s time for the sawmill horde today, setting traps and getting resources to prepare for a laugh (and probably a few deaths) but my word I think this remastered version is buggier than the PS4 version, constant riding down into the road/bridge, hordes not spawning (I’m 95% completion), silencers not working and getting focused head shots which don’t register are especially bloody annoying 😡
Looking forward to playing Diablo for the first time with IV as I’ve been meaning to buy one of them.

Re: Review in Progress: Dying Light: The Beast (PS5) - This Could Be the Zombie Series' Peak
“Drop-kicking zombies off of rooftops will also never get old”
Never a truer sentence said. I couldn’t get into 2 but me and a mate played the hell out of the 1st game. I do wanna get this at some point 👌
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
@Northern_munkey
Already on my wishlist 😂 👍
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
@KingPev I actually have been looking at getting 2 and 3 as 4 was my first ever play of that genre and I loved it.
I’ll probably get 2 in a sale 👌

@Jrs1 yes yes yes
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
Been trying the past week. Very different to what I usually play haha. Not quite into it like I thought I would but liking (losing) it 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
@R-Soub unfortunately I couldn’t play it weekend due to family responsibilities 😢
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
@4fold I think if I did get into VR I’d have to start somewhere with a simpler game then work up to a bigger, more experienced game 👍
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
@Orochilocka yes I have. I forgot about that one. Will have to get back into it as, like you said it’s a tad slow but I enjoyed what I played.

Looks amazing. Cheers for the vid. I was looking at getting it on PC.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
@R-Soub
No, can’t say I’ve ever heard of it. Will check it out 🍻
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595

Nice! Yeah it’s so hard to stop in Balatro!

Re: World of Tanks: Heat Adds Hero Shooter-Like Elements to Tactical Tank Battles on PS5
After playing War Thunder with my son for so many hours he’ll be excited for this one! Free to win is also a big selling point. Cant wait.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 593
Diablo IV still has its hooks in me! Completed the campaign last night and reached Paragon level 2 so cracking on with everything else.
May just have to be that today but will probably be playing with with my war obsessed son on a game called Enlisted, not the best but keeps him happy.
I’ve finally purchased God of War: Ragnorok so I really am looking forward to start that as well but Diablo has my attention right now.
Enjoy your gaming weekend Pushsquarians!
Re: Preview: PowerWash Simulator 2 Is Bigger, Better, and as Satisfying as Ever
I never thought at 43 yrs old I’d like a game like this but I absolutely love it! 1st game was amazing, looking forward to seeing this one.
Re: PS Plus Overloads DayZ's Servers and Causes Connectivity Issues
I tried it and it was really buggy. My character was just spinning around with me touching anything! Characters couldn’t walk or run. Very annoying and disappointed with the game. Haven’t deleted it yet as I wanna give it a chance but it ain’t great.
Re: August 2025 PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now
Dayz downloaded.
Im not a fan of the genre but I’ll download and play Lies of P just to give it a go. Pretty sure I’ll get angry with it then delete it 😂.
Edit: It’s Dayz that made angry lol, what a pile of 💩.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
More Diablo IV as just scratching the surface I think. Tinkering around with Tempering, potions etc so just learning by doing.
Balatro of course as well as always.
Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻
Re: New PS5 Games for August and September 2025
I’ve not been a day one buyer since gawd knows but Mafia and Silent Hill F are a must for me.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025 Announced
Me and a friend have wanted to give DayZ a go but always put it off and Lies of P seals it for me, decent month 👍
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 591
Loving Diablo IV so more of that!
The odd run or 12 on Balatro as well so nothing new here really.
Have a great gaming weekend Pushsquarians! 🍻

Ow! Ok that’s definitely worse
Re: Mini Review: Golden Tee Arcade Classics (PS5) - Nostalgic Novelty Misses the Sweet Spot
There was a few busted hands/fingers driving off the tee in my local after a few!
Pretty sure they got rid of the machine after only a few weeks. Fun but can be painful 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590

Re: PS5 30th Anniversary Console Gets a 'Limited Restock' in September

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
Unfortunately not a lot of gaming this weekend as have a day planned out with the family and then a few beers with a mate watching Superman on Sunday.
I’ve got into Diablo IV in the week so really want to keep playing that if I was to get a few hours 🤞.
Also purchased Sons of the Forest which I can’t wait to get stuck into but that’ll probably have to be next week now.
Enjoy your gaming weekend Pushsquarians!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 588
@og_gamer23
Cool 👌 I’ve just finished Days gone so I’ll hopefully 🤞 I’ll be delving into the world of Diablo this afternoon.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 588
This weekend I am mostly playing:
Balatro, finally got the last joker by getting a new high score of 774 million! 👌(but on the switch). Will try to get a similar score on PS5 🤞
Days Gone: Remastered, it’s time for the sawmill horde today, setting traps and getting resources to prepare for a laugh (and probably a few deaths) but my word I think this remastered version is buggier than the PS4 version, constant riding down into the road/bridge, hordes not spawning (I’m 95% completion), silencers not working and getting focused head shots which don’t register are especially bloody annoying 😡
Looking forward to playing Diablo for the first time with IV as I’ve been meaning to buy one of them.
Enjoy your gaming weekend Pushsquarians!
Re: July 2025's PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now

@16BitHero
Had 3 before. 2 outta 3 was insane.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 587
At the business end of Days Gone: Remastered, my gawwwd I forgot how much this story drags, still awesome though!
Got a new high score on Balatro, 53 million, so I’ll be trying to better that today, tomorrow etc
I need to get back into Robocop as barely touched it.
And it’s curry night tonight so Vindaloo or a Phall 🤔
Have a great gaming weekend my fellow Pushsquareians!
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025 Announced
Never played a Diablo game before so it’s a decent month for me. I nearly purchased D2 in the sale so this month is a good’un.
Re: Little Nightmares 3 Out 10th October, Pre-Order for First Game's Remaster

@QBGaming12 I agree, reanimal looks a lot better but still interested in this!
