On PS5 I'll be playing Spider-Man 2 and Dark Pictures House of Ashes with the Mrs. On Xbox probably Starfield if i can stop playing Spider-Man 2. Also started Like a Dragon Ishin on Xbox but I'm not sure about it tbh.
On PS5 just finished Callisto Protocol and close to finishing AC Mirage before Spider-Man 2 next week can't wait. On Xbox I'll try Forza Motorsport more seems OK but prefer the Horizon games.
On PS5 I've got about 5 games on the go at the moment lol but I'll be playing AC Mirage most of the time maybe a little Cyberpunk and some MW3 beta loving playing the old MW2 maps but they could've just released this as dlc for MW2. On Xbox probably nothing as my Gamepass has run out and I've no desire to go back to Starfield right now because it crashes constantly just like Fallout 4.
I've been jumping between loads of games recently can't seem to stick to anything but probably more Cyberpunk trying to get through the main story so i can buy Phantom Liberty.
I started Dead Space last night so probably continue with that and Sniper Elite 5 on PS5 . On Xbox it'll be more Starfield probably just going to stick to the main story missions now and get it finished. I'll maybe give the Crew Motorsport trial a go too just downloaded it.
@Jimboss Same there's been nothing game breaking so far but the crashing is getting worse the longer i play. I don't trust any reviews now after Jedi Survivor got glowing reviews that downplayed the performance issues it had on every platform.
On Xbox it'll be Starfield for the foreseeable future loving it so far. On PS5 I'm going to hopefully start Dead Space and play more of Sniper Elite 5 not really enjoying this one as much because it seems to push you into more cqc.
Xbox I'll be playing more of Starfield it's great but there's too many loading screens and I'm not a fan of the ship combat. On PS5 I've started a new game in Mafia Definitive edition and Pokemon Brilliant diamond for Switch has just been delivered plenty to keep me busy.
@Ravix Agree on the soundtrack and setting and even the story is great also think Lincoln is an excellent character but i unfortunately had a game breaking bug about 25 hours into my first playthrough which slightly soured my opinion and has contributed to it feeling more repetitive than it maybe would have if that hadn't happened.
On PS5 I've been trying to finish up Mafia 3 but it's so repetitive I've had to take a break for a bit so I've been playing Age of Empires 4 on Gamepass which works surprisingly well with a controller loving it so far.
Started Dying Light 2 the other day so I'll try and continue with that but I'm really not feeling it loved the first game but something about this isn't doing it for me.
On PS5 I'm trying to get the last 2 trophies on Rift apart missed one of the blizon crystals my first playthrough also waiting on Dying Light 2 arriving. On Xbox I've been replaying all the old Gears games wishing they'd remaster 2 and 3 like they did the first game.
I'll probably play this when all the parts are released they feel more enjoyable that way than playing 1 episode then having to wait a while for the next.
Been playing Gotham Knights I'm actually enjoying it more than i was expecting after the reviews it got. Might go back to Forspoken too I've not played it since the first 4 hours on the day i bought it.
This is worth £20 max the humour was hit and miss for me and the gameplay was pretty repetitive i also had quite a lot of bugs that blocked progress and had to reload multiple times on different missions even after the patches that supposedly fixed it.
It's OK at best very repetitive and quite a few achievements didn't unlock for me and i had to redo multiple parts of the game due to bugs blocking progress and that was after it had been fixed apparently.
Just finished FF 16 on Thursday game of the year so far for me the story was absolutely fantastic. I've started Days Gone again hopefully actually get to the end this time. I'll also be playing some Exoprimal on Gamepass later with my brother.
It's actually better than i was expecting tried it on Gamepass earlier but it definitely needs more content and game modes it's basically a free to play game with a £50 price tag.
Cheaper than expected tbh might get one when they come out my Mrs enjoys gaming but she can't hold the dualsense for long due to problems with her hands.
These look ***** just like all the other crap they've been releasing for the last couple of years CoD is basically Fortnite with a £70 price tag ***** joke of a dev.
FF16 for me I'm 80% finished I'm hoping to get it finished up this weekend so i can get back to trying to clear some of the backlog. Downloaded Sword and Fairy on Gamepass too so I'll give that a try if there's time.
I own both the games I'd be interested in so not a great month for me I've got loads of other stuff to play so not too bothered. Alan Wake is excellent for anybody who hasn't played it.
Thankfully I've not had many issues only 1 crash on launch day and i played it for 7 hours I'm about 60% through the game now my ps5 doesn't even feel that hot when playing it.
This has to be lies people on PureXbox are always lecturing me on how Phil Spencer is a saint and Microsoft are a lovely company that just want to be everybody's friends.
Trek to Yomi is pretty good played it on gamepass never finished it I'll download that and Jurassic World don't follow Basketball but might give it a try. It's 3 games i don't own so I'm not complaining.
Final Fantasy no contest for me never played a Diablo game so I'm waiting till it's on sale as I'm not sure I'll like it and have no interest in Street Fighter personally.

Re: Here's What to Expect if You Spend Extra on The Crew Motorfest for PS5, PS4
I'll wait till Xmas for this and it'll be half price by then like most Ubisoft games loved the beta but too many other games coming to pay full price.
