Dying Light:the Beast - and I'm really enjoying it. Its obvious it started as a DLC as the map is smaller compared to the other games. Its not as good as the first game imo, but I like it quite a bit more than the second and I’m having a blast playing it. For me its one of those 7/10 games that is just so much fun to play I totally overlook some minor flaws here and there. Story is fine, side missions are varied, exploration is fun, parkouring is great, being out at night is scary as ***** especially when the volatiles come for you and popping zombie heads is awesome 🙂
Alan Wake 2 - finished and platinumed! I'm very happy with myself that I decided to play this even though horror/scary games are really not my thing anymore 😅 Ended up really, really enjoying this game! Almost started a new game plus immediately after finishing (you'll get why) but decided that would take to long and my curiousity was killing me so I watched some YouTube videos instead 🙂 Very well written story imo!
Thank goodness youre here - been waiting for this to drop on plus, so very happy it finally did! Its brilliant, so fun and so worth a playthrough. Finished and platinumed in about 3 hours maybe, brilliant game 😃
The Crew Motorfest - so I left it with some trophies unpopped, one was an online trophy and it was a bit of a pain finding games and more importantly filling them with enough players as the trophy requires you to destroy three opponents in one game but with the game being on Gamepass there was suddenly new players so I finally got that trophy and then the platinum, so that was nice! Very good game imo!
Dying light: the Beast - picked it up in the sale. Loved the first but not the second so was a bit hesitant about this until I watched TheRadBrad play it on YT praising it and saying it was a lot more like the first game than the second. I'm only like 1-2 hours in but is seems very promising so far 🙂
I´ll be very surprised if Clair Obscure doesnt scoop most awards its nominated in, despite some good competition its just in a class of its own in so many categories!
CoD Blops 7 - I was looking forward to a good CoD campaign, especially after last years Blops 6 that was great, but had completely missed that this year had some twist to the campaign - its online, co-op forced utter garbage that basically cant be played solo as you get no AI companions to fill empty spots so they are there on the radio and in the cutscenes but vanishes during actual gameplay. This was so ***** bad I uninstalled the ***** before even finishing the first mission since I had to take a quick break cause kids and when I got back I had gotten kicked to the start screen and would have to restart the whole thing since there are no checkpoints... 😂 Havent touched the mp so that might be good. I'll stick with Battlefield 6!
Battlefield 6 - so, I got the platinum!! 😃 Enjoying this game so much, I can see myself playing it regurlarly for a long time!
Alan Wake 2 - really been enjoying this one too! I've had some moments where I've felt my heart skip a beat but its on a level I can handle which is nice since the game is really good. Closing in on the last few chapters, hopefully finishing the game over the weekend. The We sing chapter was pretty epic!
The Outer Worlds 2 - so I've already finished the game! It took me about 17 hours, I expected it to be longer but then I didnt do much of the side content so theres probably a couple of hours of content I havent played. I had a lot of fun with the game and its a pretty big improvement all around from the first game imo. Lots of different ways to play and build your character and many different solutions to problems during missions etc which is really great and important in a game like this. So all in all I'm impressed and really enjoyed the game!
Alan Wake 2 - So I've surprised myself by choosing to play this, and again by not quitting at the first scare. Cant really handle scary ***** anymore 😂 but this is more creepy and less scary imo so maybe I can get through this... a couple of hours in and so far its really good!
Ghost of Yotei - Finished and platinumed. Loved this game! The gorgeous world, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the story - even got some dust in my eye at the ending but then I had a window open so...... Brilliant game imo! Its a game I´ll be returning to every now and then and just take in the atmosphere and views and play the shamisen for a bit!
Battlefield 6 - having a blast with it and will for a long time. I even enjyed the campaign, but its no where near as good as a good CoD-campaign. I´ve done all the trophies except the grindy ones, which will take me a long time to get and I´ll enjoy every game along the way. Feels great to have a good Battlefield game again.
The Outer Worlds 2 - about 3 hours in an Im impressed, both with the game itself which is good fun so far and that it runs as good as it does on my poor old series S so I dont feel any need to get this on my Pro instead which is nice since we have GPU until december I think. (I should have finished bith this and the upcoming CoD campaign by then.)
Ghost of Yotei - I'm loving this game. There are some epic moments in the story imo, and I'm closing in on the end. I've done all the side content and collectibles etc so now I can just enjoy the rest of the story 🙂
Battlefield 6 - Very fun to play, impressed with how Dice could turn things around from 2042 and it feels like this will be a game I play regularly for a long time. I plan to play the single player campaign, I'll update you when I do 🙂
Keeper - So, this game has so much potential but after playing for 20 minutes I feel like my Series S isnt really delivering the best experience and I want to enjoy this game at its best so I'll wait and see if it doesnt show up on PS5 in the future.
Also- I just wishlisted Halo for my PS5. We knew it was coming but still feels a bit… wierd?… seeing Halo on playstation. Anyway, that will probably be ***** awesome!
Ghost of Yotei - loving this game, its just so much fun to play! The open world, apart from being absolutely stunning, really invites exploration and I constantly get sidetracked in a good way and the combat is good and imo its just as fun to play stealthy as it is to just openly challenge the enemies. Soundtrack is also very good! Currently hunting the Kitsune 🙂
Battlefield 6 - so, my plan was to wait for this to be in a deep sale at least before buying it (didnt want to support EAs new owners) but then some friends I played a LOT of Battlefield 4 and Destiny with reached out and wanted to get the crew together again and I simply couldnt resist. So, despite giving EA and co my money which leaves just a little sour taste in my mouth (apart from the small chunk going to the actual people who made the game, you are absolutely worth giving money too) we´ve had som much fun playing multiplayer. Its really the best Battlefield since 4 imo, looks and plays great and I cant wait to play more, especially awesome when you have a good squad 🙂
Gears of War Reloaded – Me and the son finally finished the campaign! Its been so awesome to play this with him, and a little surprising that he also found the game to be really good (despite being 20 years old which for him is ancient). We might have to play more GoW 🙂
The Crew Motorfest - Im moving on from this game now, having played around 30 hours. Its been fun, some of the playlists have been really impressive with high production value but Im switching to play more Sonic Racing Crossworlds instead.
Ghost of Yotei - Loving this! Its just what i wanted, a gorgeous game thats more of what made Tsushima great and Im motivated storywise to get my revenge 🤩
Gears of War Reloaded – Me and the son only managed to play for 30 min this past week so still on act 5. I´m hoping that we can get some playtime later tonight and maybe finish it off 🙂
Sonic Racing Crossworlds - The whole family played some 4 player split screen, its a lot of fun. Pretty solid game
The Midnight Walk - Finished and platinumed. Really enjoyed this one, Good story with some great art design and soundtrack and playing it in VR made quite a big difference in immersion and being chased by monsters was pretty intense at times 🙂
Ghost of Yotei - rare day 1 for me but loved Tsushima so got this preordered after reading some positive reviews. A couple of hours in and this is pretty much exactly what I hoped for. It looks amazing and plays great, really polished from my experience, and a story of revenge is very fitting for the setting. This is going to be awesome 🙂
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – finished and platinumed. Love this game, really enjoyed exploring and doing basically everything and also getting the secret ending!
Gears of War Reloaded – Still the same as last week, slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and still loving it. We're on act 5 now, getting closer to the end. Sonic Racing Crossworlds - very solid game and a lot of fun. Maybe not Mario Kart level good but still. Havent had the opportunity to play with the whole family in 4 player split-screen yet but very much looking forward to it!
The Midnight Walk - wow, what an unexpected gem of a game this is! Playing it mostly in VR the atmosphere and the art design are great. I love it, but its not a game for everyone.
Baby steps - so silly, so fun! Havent played much but we've had fun playing it. You can turn the nudity off if you like me are playing with kids around.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – I'm having a blast playing this again. In Suhkothai now, so I'll probably be finishing it off in a couple of sessions. Love it! And theres a lot I didnt do or missed on my first playthrough which makes it all the more fun!
Gears of War Reloaded – Same as last week, still slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and still loving it. We're on act 4 now. He's very impressed by the game being so good despite it being so old, and it really is!
Sonic Racing Crossworlds - The whole family sat down and played the demo, shame it didnt have 4 player split screen as the full game will have but we all really liked it taking turns to play so I've ordered two more controllers and cant wait to play all together! As a bonus, Sackboy will be awesome with 4 players as well 🙂
I was initially pretty hyped for this game but I´m not really anymore and theres also lots of other games I´d rather play so this will probably go on the wait until its on a service list...
I’ve had quite a lot of game time this week, which is nice 😊
Gears of War Reloaded – Still slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and still loving it. I´ve had plenty time to play this week but the son has been rather busy so we´ve not played much sadly. On act 3, maybe halfway through that.
Robocop Unfinished business – finished and platinumed, enjoyed it quite a bit. IT didn’t overstay its welcome either!
Forza Horizon 5 – finally popped that platinum 😊 Its been a very fun ride, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Time to switch to The Crew Motorfest for more relaxed open-world racing!
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – replaying this awesome game going for the platinum this time, and I love it. The first playthrough I just did the main story, so doing everything and exploring etc is great fun and there’s a lot I missed the first time (on purpose but still). In Gizeh right now, enjoying every second 😊
Sword of the Sea - finished and platinumed! Such a nice little gem of a game, great gameplay flow, nice soundtrack, nice graphics. Really enjoyed this!
Gears of War Reloaded - Slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and loving it. Sure, it shows its age sometimes but overall its still a very enjoyable campaign imo, but the co-op is what makes it awesome!
Also been trying to like the multiplayer but thats so much harder to enjoy. Its just not that Im not the best player but also its some wierd coding, hit detection and some obvious cheating going on that just drags the experience down a lot. Will probably not play versus anymore.
Robocop Unfinished business - having some fun with this. Its literally more of the same as the first game, this being a stand alone instead of DLC. Im missing the open world sections of the first game but aside from that its good. Im nearing the last few chapters so should finish this up pretty soon and then its time to play Indy again!
Sword of the sea - This is awesome 🤩So much fun to play with smooth gameplay, it looks great and has a good soundtrack. I've finished it once and I'm now doing a new game plus playthrough. The snowboarding feeling is great in the game, makes me want a new and good SSX game or a remaster of any of the first three!
Gears of War Reloaded - fond memories of playing this all those years ago, it shows its age sometimes but its a good remaster and I'm really enjoying it playing it split-screen with my boy (which adds so much to the experience). He likes his game hard, so we're playing on insane level 😅 really looking forward to playing more!
Indika - So, saw a friend play this on the friend list and thought I'd try it going in blind. It sure is special 😂 You play as a nun, just that is an experience I didnt expect! So, without giving away any spoilers I kind of got stuck after playing for five minutes and now I just have to know how it ends 😂 Just know its a bit wierd if you try it 😅
Hellblade - finished and platinumed. really enjoy this game, great upgrade imo.
Hellblade II - I went straight on with Hellblade II. Played it on the S at release but playing it on the Pro in 60 fps is a huge upgrade. The game simply looks amazing. I´ve finished the story and I feel like I enjoyed it more this time for some reason. No platinum yet, the ***** added a new trophy meaning you need to finish the game in Dark Rot Mode, meaning its on hard and you can only die a total of four times with most enemies killing you with 2 hits or even 1... Will probably give that up but still, really enjoyed the game. Neither of the Hellblade games are for everyone, but if you like these kind of games they are very good imo.
Delta Force - Nah. I had some hopes for this but its really not good, looks like crap and its buggy and badly optimized. Moving on.
Forza Horizon 5 - still going strong, still working on that last trophy and still having fun!
Sword of the sea - I’ve only just started, played maybe 20 minutes but this seems very, very good and I’m likely going to enjoy this a lot!
Banishers - I´ve finished the story. I felt like the game started to drag on a bit in the end so I didnt do all the optional stuff, which led to me getting the bad ending. Which I actually dont mind, it fits the grimness of the story and the world. I dont see myself going for any of the good endings so I watched them on youtube instead. Overall, a good game with a nice story but gameplay mechanics, a world looking pretty much the same everywhere and a bit of bloat dragged it down for me a bit.
Forza Horizon 5 - still going strong, just the one trophjy to get before the platinum. This game I´ll keep installed, pretty nice for some short plays here and there.
Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice - So I stumbled on a free ps5 upgrade the other day that I had missed was coming so I thought I´d check that out just to see, but then the opening is so good and its been a while since I played it so I just got stuck playing for two hours straight wich wasnt the plan. Anyhow, its a great game imo, much more "game" than the sequel, and its a good upgrade so I´ll be finishing this and then I might go for Hellblade 2 to experience it on the Pro. Even if the sequel isnt as good as this game, its pretty short and I kind of want that platinum in my collection 🙂
So summer leave is over, and we’re back home which should mean more gaming 😃
CoD WWII - I’ve finished the campaign and even if its not my favorite its still very enjoyable in that old school FPS blockbuster action kind of way. I hope we get all the older CoDs on gamepass, and I’ll happily play/replay them.
Banishers - I’m enjoying the story, and the grimness of the world, however the gameplay (the fighting mostly) and that many locations look very samey (especially caves/mines) is starting to have a negative effect on me. Should be getting closer to the end though, so thats good cause Indont want it to overstay its welcome. Probably not going to platinum this game.
FH5 - gotta say that after getting the Eliminator trophy this is a pretty fun platinum to get, and I enjoy playing shorter sessions each day 🙂
I wanted to like this game so much I ended up basically forcing myself to finish it. It started pretty strong for me but ended up being a dissapointment but thats also because I had such high expectations so thats on me. The game would need a LOT of improvements to make it the game it deserved to be, with probably isnt going to happen. This isnt going to be a No Mans Sky story.
We're been on a family trip for most of the week so I've been using the Portal to play Banishers and FH 5 which are both great and I'm enjoying them both a lot.
And again, its great how good the portal works as long as you have a stable (and fast also helps) connection!
Banishers - Its growing on me the more I play, so I’m enjoying it quite a lot. Its a pretty grim tale from DontNod, I like it!
Cod WW2 - only playing short sessions here and there since I only can play when my son isnt using the Series S but it remains a fun action blockbuster 🙂
Also, Forza Horizon 5 which I’m enjoying but its going to take a while to get that platinum…
Oblivion remaster - Finished and platinumed. I must say I really enjoyed playing this game again, but its a shame its in such a bad shape technically and with the studio behind it getting hit with massive lay-offs theres a big risk it wont ever be fixed. Which is like most Bethesda games but its a real shame.
CoD WW2 - Its not the best cod campaign but its still some good fun blockbuster action so far which is great and all I really want from the game!
Banishers - been waiting for this to drop on PS Plus 🙂 I’m a couple of hours in and like the game so far, its a bit slow at times perhaps and might get repetitive down the line but so far so good!
Arken Age PSVR2 - I picked it up in the sale but only managed to play like 45 minutes as I dont have the headset at the summer place so can only play when I’m back home once a week but it seems very promising, it looks and plays well and the story and the world seems cool. Cant wait to play more 🙂
Feel like these weekly updates have been me posting about playing the same games for a while, but I'm making some progress so maybe I'll have something new and exotic next week or so 😅
Oblivion Remastered I've finished the thieves guild questline which feel very much like playing like a thief compared to the questline in Skyrim, which was great. I only have the main questline left to do for the platinum, think I'll do that and then leave Cyrodiil again. Its been great to play, very nostalgic, but its still buggy as hell and runs like ***** 😅
Forza Horizon 5 So, I'm back playing Horizon. Not getting the trophy for winning The Eliminator bugged me, so I had to get it 😂 and now that I've done it I might as well get the platinum 🙂 gonna take me a while though, will probably play some Motorfest as well as Horizon but I'm in no rush with either game!
We've been on a family trip this last week so I havent played as much as I usually do. I brought the Portal, so I've played some Oblivion (still buggy but very fun and nostalgic to play) and I've picked up The Crew Motorfest in the sale so switching to that from Horizon. I've just tried a bit of Motorfest and it seems pretty fun, and its obvious Ubisoft has looked a lot at Horizon when making their game which is fine by me!
Just wanna say, as I’ve said many times before, how happy I am with the Portal! Its working great, and games like Oblivion and Motorfest can imo be played without much problems at all with a fast connection. Playing PvP games like CoD or Apex legends dont work well enough though, there is always a bit of input lag and in games like that it affects gameplay to much I would say. Still, the Portal is great 🙂
TES Oblivion remaster - I'm really enjoying playing this game again after all these years, ***** performance and bugs and all. I've had some hilarious bugs, one where like seven of the guards from the Malacath quest followed me around Cyrodiil and would pop up every now and then and take turns endlessly harassing me 😂 I had to kill them eventually,, couldnt get on with the game once they cought up with me, which also was pretty funny cause they didnt fight back and the city guards ended up helping me kill them... you dont see features like these in other games! Currently doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, which imo is better than the one in Skyrim! Love it!
Forza Horizon 5 - I've enjoyed it but starting to feel like maybe I'm done, for now at least. Gonna try some rounds of the Eliminator and see if I can get that trophy and go for the platinum but if not I think its time to move on. Hoping The Crew Motorfest gets a new sale soon , want to see how that holds up against Horizon and I enjoyed The Crew 2.
TES Oblivion - I’m really enjoying my revisit to Cyrodiil. Nostalgia plays a big part for me, I’ve had many trips down memory lane while playing which is bittersweet, some great memories but also a reminder of how quickly time flies (I’m saying I’m old). Anyway, back to the game: it looks great, plays like ***** and still has a lot of the original features left untouched but still, I’m going to play this for so many hours 🙂
FH 5 - Looks and plays great, but imo best enjoyed in short sessions and just keeping it relaxed.
The Alters - Gave it a fair try, but its not for me. I can see the appeal though, so maybe its just that I’m not in the mood for this kind of game right now.
I finished Doom - TDA last weekend. It was fun, but its not a perfect game by any means and its not my favorite Doom at all. I hope the next Doom is more like the 2016 one.
I also picked up Still wakes the deep on a sale, but playing it on the ps5 this time. Great game imo!
And, its summer. I want some relaxing games giving that feel good vibe so I got
Forza Horizon 5 - for the ps5 pro. Its not the best racer (not my favorite Horizon game either) but it really fits the critera above 🙂 looks amazing on the Pro.
TES Oblivion - with the patches coming I cant hold off anymore 😅 it might be so buggy it'll make me furious instead of happy and relaxed, but its one of my favourite games and some parts are better than Skyrim imo so hopefully I can get through it without to much bugs and technical trouble 🙂
Its been mostly Doom - The Dark Ages for me this last week. I’m a couple of chapters from the end and I’m enjoying it. Its good old fast paced action fun with some great level design. The shield is a fun addition, however I do feel it gets a bit to arcadey with different colored attacks for deflecting etc but its a minor complaint. Also, rest assured that even if you find yourself in the belly of the Beast, you’ll find Sentinel Shrines there so you can upgrade your gear. A bit less of that sort of thing would have been better imo. But all in all, very fun 🙂
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Its done, and the platinum trophy is mine 🥹 Its high on my list of the best games I’ve ever played, imo a true masterpiece in every aspect and it will stay with me in that way that truly great games do! I’ll replay it every now and then and I’ll also listen to the soundtrack from time to time.
Doom - TDA - Barely just started but seems like what I need right now, all action and no brain, and it runs good on the Series S so far.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - I’ve finished the story now. What an amazing game, absolutely love it. Its one of my favorite games of all time. Finishing of some collectibles and bosses for the platinum. Not really looking forward to finishing it, dont want it to end as I enjoy it so much and I always get that hollow feeling after completing a great game and need a day or two before starting something new.
Think play I’ll Doom next, might be the perfect palette cleanser.

CoD Blops 7 - I was looking forward to a good CoD campaign, especially after last years Blops 6 that was great, but had completely missed that this year had some twist to the campaign - its online, co-op forced utter garbage that basically cant be played solo as you get no AI companions to fill empty spots so they are there on the radio and in the cutscenes but vanishes during actual gameplay.

I'll stick with Battlefield 6!
Battlefield 6 - so, I got the platinum!! 😃 Enjoying this game so much, I can see myself playing it regurlarly for a long time!
Alan Wake 2 - really been enjoying this one too! I've had some moments where I've felt my heart skip a beat but its on a level I can handle which is nice since the game is really good.

Re: Hands On: Where Winds Meet PS5 Is Vast, Visionary, and on the Verge of Collapse

The Outer Worlds 2 - so I've already finished the game! It took me about 17 hours, I expected it to be longer but then I didnt do much of the side content so theres probably a couple of hours of content I havent played. I had a lot of fun with the game and its a pretty big improvement all around from the first game imo. Lots of different ways to play and build your character and many different solutions to problems during missions etc which is really great and important in a game like this. So all in all I'm impressed and really enjoyed the game!
Alan Wake 2 - So I've surprised myself by choosing to play this, and again by not quitting at the first scare. Cant really handle scary ***** anymore 😂 but this is more creepy and less scary imo so maybe I can get through this... a couple of hours in and so far its really good!
And of course Battlefield 6 in between 🙂
Happy gaming!

Ghost of Yotei - Finished and platinumed. Loved this game! The gorgeous world, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the story - even got some dust in my eye at the ending but then I had a window open so...... Brilliant game imo! Its a game I´ll be returning to every now and then and just take in the atmosphere and views and play the shamisen for a bit!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601
What I´ve been playing
Gears of War Reloaded – Me and the son only managed to play for 30 min this past week so still on act 5. I´m hoping that we can get some playtime later tonight and maybe finish it off 🙂
Sonic Racing Crossworlds - The whole family played some 4 player split screen, its a lot of fun. Pretty solid game
The Midnight Walk - Finished and platinumed. Really enjoyed this one, Good story with some great art design and soundtrack and playing it in VR made quite a big difference in immersion and being chased by monsters was pretty intense at times 🙂
Ghost of Yotei - rare day 1 for me but loved Tsushima so got this preordered after reading some positive reviews. A couple of hours in and this is pretty much exactly what I hoped for. It looks amazing and plays great, really polished from my experience, and a story of revenge is very fitting for the setting. This is going to be awesome 🙂
Re: Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Could Be the Final Frontier for Xbox on PS5
Recent Halo games havent been very good imo, but the original Halo remade? That I would def buy
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
Played since last week
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – finished and platinumed. Love this game, really enjoyed exploring and doing basically everything and also getting the secret ending!
Gears of War Reloaded – Still the same as last week, slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and still loving it. We're on act 5 now, getting closer to the end.
Sonic Racing Crossworlds - very solid game and a lot of fun. Maybe not Mario Kart level good but still. Havent had the opportunity to play with the whole family in 4 player split-screen yet but very much looking forward to it!
The Midnight Walk - wow, what an unexpected gem of a game this is! Playing it mostly in VR the atmosphere and the art design are great. I love it, but its not a game for everyone.
Baby steps - so silly, so fun! Havent played much but we've had fun playing it. You can turn the nudity off if you like me are playing with kids around.
Re: Avatar PS5 Seems Like a Game Worth Going Back To, Third DLC Confirmed
I for one really enjoyed this game, but if you dont like far cry games its probably not for you!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599
Played since last week
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – I'm having a blast playing this again. In Suhkothai now, so I'll probably be finishing it off in a couple of sessions. Love it! And theres a lot I didnt do or missed on my first playthrough which makes it all the more fun!
Gears of War Reloaded – Same as last week, still slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and still loving it. We're on act 4 now. He's very impressed by the game being so good despite it being so old, and it really is!
Sonic Racing Crossworlds - The whole family sat down and played the demo, shame it didnt have 4 player split screen as the full game will have but we all really liked it taking turns to play so I've ordered two more controllers and cant wait to play all together! As a bonus, Sackboy will be awesome with 4 players as well 🙂
Re: Borderlands 4 (PS5) - A Chaotic Return That Shoots Straight, Even if Its Performance Stutters
I was initially pretty hyped for this game but I´m not really anymore and theres also lots of other games I´d rather play so this will probably go on the wait until its on a service list...
Re: Review in Progress: Dying Light: The Beast (PS5) - This Could Be the Zombie Series' Peak
So pleased to hear this, going to play it sooner rather than later!
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (PS5) - PS5's Best Kart Racer Is Robust, Chaotic Fun
Sweet, I´ve ordered more controllers so all 4 in the family can play split screen
Re: 60+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Autumn Adventures Sale (North America/Europe)
Picked up the Midnight Walk, been keeping an eye out for that!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
I’ve had quite a lot of game time this week, which is nice 😊
Gears of War Reloaded – Still slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and still loving it. I´ve had plenty time to play this week but the son has been rather busy so we´ve not played much sadly. On act 3, maybe halfway through that.
Robocop Unfinished business – finished and platinumed, enjoyed it quite a bit. IT didn’t overstay its welcome either!
Forza Horizon 5 – finally popped that platinum 😊 Its been a very fun ride, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Time to switch to The Crew Motorfest for more relaxed open-world racing!
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – replaying this awesome game going for the platinum this time, and I love it. The first playthrough I just did the main story, so doing everything and exploring etc is great fun and there’s a lot I missed the first time (on purpose but still). In Gizeh right now, enjoying every second 😊
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
Sword of the Sea - finished and platinumed! Such a nice little gem of a game, great gameplay flow, nice soundtrack, nice graphics. Really enjoyed this!
Gears of War Reloaded - Slowly making progress in the campaign playing split-screen with my son, and loving it. Sure, it shows its age sometimes but overall its still a very enjoyable campaign imo, but the co-op is what makes it awesome!
Also been trying to like the multiplayer but thats so much harder to enjoy. Its just not that Im not the best player but also its some wierd coding, hit detection and some obvious cheating going on that just drags the experience down a lot. Will probably not play versus anymore.
Robocop Unfinished business - having some fun with this. Its literally more of the same as the first game, this being a stand alone instead of DLC. Im missing the open world sections of the first game but aside from that its good. Im nearing the last few chapters so should finish this up pretty soon and then its time to play Indy again!
Re: September 2025 PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now
Viewfinder was pretty good, and I’ll probably play Psychonauts 2 at some point so pretty good month!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
Since last week
Sword of the sea - This is awesome 🤩So much fun to play with smooth gameplay, it looks great and has a good soundtrack. I've finished it once and I'm now doing a new game plus playthrough. The snowboarding feeling is great in the game, makes me want a new and good SSX game or a remaster of any of the first three!
Gears of War Reloaded - fond memories of playing this all those years ago, it shows its age sometimes but its a good remaster and I'm really enjoying it playing it split-screen with my boy (which adds so much to the experience). He likes his game hard, so we're playing on insane level 😅 really looking forward to playing more!
Indika - So, saw a friend play this on the friend list and thought I'd try it going in blind. It sure is special 😂 You play as a nun, just that is an experience I didnt expect! So, without giving away any spoilers I kind of got stuck after playing for five minutes and now I just have to know how it ends 😂 Just know its a bit wierd if you try it 😅

Re: Form Your Own Opinion on Lost Soul Aside with Free PS5 Demo

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025 Announced
Pretty good games I would say!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
Hellblade - finished and platinumed. really enjoy this game, great upgrade imo.
Hellblade II - I went straight on with Hellblade II. Played it on the S at release but playing it on the Pro in 60 fps is a huge upgrade. The game simply looks amazing. I´ve finished the story and I feel like I enjoyed it more this time for some reason. No platinum yet, the ***** added a new trophy meaning you need to finish the game in Dark Rot Mode, meaning its on hard and you can only die a total of four times with most enemies killing you with 2 hits or even 1... Will probably give that up but still, really enjoyed the game. Neither of the Hellblade games are for everyone, but if you like these kind of games they are very good imo.
Delta Force - Nah. I had some hopes for this but its really not good, looks like crap and its buggy and badly optimized. Moving on.
Forza Horizon 5 - still going strong, still working on that last trophy and still having fun!
Sword of the sea - I’ve only just started, played maybe 20 minutes but this seems very, very good and I’m likely going to enjoy this a lot!
Happy gaming 🙂
Re: Sword of the Sea (PS5) - Stunning Journey-Like Is a PS Plus Extra Hall of Famer
Great! Cant wait to play this 🙂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 594
Banishers - I´ve finished the story. I felt like the game started to drag on a bit in the end so I didnt do all the optional stuff, which led to me getting the bad ending. Which I actually dont mind, it fits the grimness of the story and the world. I dont see myself going for any of the good endings so I watched them on youtube instead. Overall, a good game with a nice story but gameplay mechanics, a world looking pretty much the same everywhere and a bit of bloat dragged it down for me a bit.
Forza Horizon 5 - still going strong, just the one trophjy to get before the platinum. This game I´ll keep installed, pretty nice for some short plays here and there.
Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice - So I stumbled on a free ps5 upgrade the other day that I had missed was coming so I thought I´d check that out just to see, but then the opening is so good and its been a while since I played it so I just got stuck playing for two hours straight wich wasnt the plan. Anyhow, its a great game imo, much more "game" than the sequel, and its a good upgrade so I´ll be finishing this and then I might go for Hellblade 2 to experience it on the Pro. Even if the sequel isnt as good as this game, its pretty short and I kind of want that platinum in my collection 🙂
Happy gaming!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 593
So summer leave is over, and we’re back home which should mean more gaming 😃
CoD WWII - I’ve finished the campaign and even if its not my favorite its still very enjoyable in that old school FPS blockbuster action kind of way. I hope we get all the older CoDs on gamepass, and I’ll happily play/replay them.
Banishers - I’m enjoying the story, and the grimness of the world, however the gameplay (the fighting mostly) and that many locations look very samey (especially caves/mines) is starting to have a negative effect on me. Should be getting closer to the end though, so thats good cause Indont want it to overstay its welcome. Probably not going to platinum this game.
FH5 - gotta say that after getting the Eliminator trophy this is a pretty fun platinum to get, and I enjoy playing shorter sessions each day 🙂
Re: Round Up: Total Lack of Mafia: The Old Country PS5 Reviews Is a Red Flag
@Jammer
I really enjoyed both AC Shadows and SW Outlaws. really good games imo.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Exclusive Starfield Is Getting Some Hefty Gameplay Reworks for Its PS5 Release
I wanted to like this game so much I ended up basically forcing myself to finish it. It started pretty strong for me but ended up being a dissapointment but thats also because I had such high expectations so thats on me. The game would need a LOT of improvements to make it the game it deserved to be, with probably isnt going to happen. This isnt going to be a No Mans Sky story.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 592
We're been on a family trip for most of the week so I've been using the Portal to play Banishers and FH 5 which are both great and I'm enjoying them both a lot.
And again, its great how good the portal works as long as you have a stable (and fast also helps) connection!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 591
Banishers - Its growing on me the more I play, so I’m enjoying it quite a lot. Its a pretty grim tale from DontNod, I like it!
Cod WW2 - only playing short sessions here and there since I only can play when my son isnt using the Series S but it remains a fun action blockbuster 🙂
Also, Forza Horizon 5 which I’m enjoying but its going to take a while to get that platinum…
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590
Some new games played since last week 🙂
Oblivion remaster - Finished and platinumed. I must say I really enjoyed playing this game again, but its a shame its in such a bad shape technically and with the studio behind it getting hit with massive lay-offs theres a big risk it wont ever be fixed. Which is like most Bethesda games but its a real shame.
CoD WW2 - Its not the best cod campaign but its still some good fun blockbuster action so far which is great and all I really want from the game!
Banishers - been waiting for this to drop on PS Plus 🙂 I’m a couple of hours in and like the game so far, its a bit slow at times perhaps and might get repetitive down the line but so far so good!
Arken Age PSVR2 - I picked it up in the sale but only managed to play like 45 minutes as I dont have the headset at the summer place so can only play when I’m back home once a week but it seems very promising, it looks and plays well and the story and the world seems cool. Cant wait to play more 🙂
Re: RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business (PS5) - Standalone Mini-Sequel Just Misses the Mark
Thanks for the review! I really liked the first one so I’ll be playing this one too, but might wait for a sale instead of getting it now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 589
Feel like these weekly updates have been me posting about playing the same games for a while, but I'm making some progress so maybe I'll have something new and exotic next week or so 😅
Oblivion Remastered I've finished the thieves guild questline which feel very much like playing like a thief compared to the questline in Skyrim, which was great. I only have the main questline left to do for the platinum, think I'll do that and then leave Cyrodiil again. Its been great to play, very nostalgic, but its still buggy as hell and runs like ***** 😅
Forza Horizon 5 So, I'm back playing Horizon. Not getting the trophy for winning The Eliminator bugged me, so I had to get it 😂 and now that I've done it I might as well get the platinum 🙂 gonna take me a while though, will probably play some Motorfest as well as Horizon but I'm in no rush with either game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 588
We've been on a family trip this last week so I havent played as much as I usually do. I brought the Portal, so I've played some Oblivion (still buggy but very fun and nostalgic to play) and I've picked up The Crew Motorfest in the sale so switching to that from Horizon. I've just tried a bit of Motorfest and it seems pretty fun, and its obvious Ubisoft has looked a lot at Horizon when making their game which is fine by me!
Just wanna say, as I’ve said many times before, how happy I am with the Portal! Its working great, and games like Oblivion and Motorfest can imo be played without much problems at all with a fast connection. Playing PvP games like CoD or Apex legends dont work well enough though, there is always a bit of input lag and in games like that it affects gameplay to much I would say. Still, the Portal is great 🙂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 587
Basically playing the same games as last week
TES Oblivion remaster - I'm really enjoying playing this game again after all these years, ***** performance and bugs and all. I've had some hilarious bugs, one where like seven of the guards from the Malacath quest followed me around Cyrodiil and would pop up every now and then and take turns endlessly harassing me 😂 I had to kill them eventually,, couldnt get on with the game once they cought up with me, which also was pretty funny cause they didnt fight back and the city guards ended up helping me kill them... you dont see features like these in other games! Currently doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, which imo is better than the one in Skyrim! Love it!
Forza Horizon 5 - I've enjoyed it but starting to feel like maybe I'm done, for now at least. Gonna try some rounds of the Eliminator and see if I can get that trophy and go for the platinum but if not I think its time to move on. Hoping The Crew Motorfest gets a new sale soon , want to see how that holds up against Horizon and I enjoyed The Crew 2.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025 Announced
I loved Jusant but not interested in the other games personally. Still pretty solid I would say!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 586
So, since last week 🙂
TES Oblivion - I’m really enjoying my revisit to Cyrodiil. Nostalgia plays a big part for me, I’ve had many trips down memory lane while playing which is bittersweet, some great memories but also a reminder of how quickly time flies (I’m saying I’m old). Anyway, back to the game: it looks great, plays like ***** and still has a lot of the original features left untouched but still, I’m going to play this for so many hours 🙂
FH 5 - Looks and plays great, but imo best enjoyed in short sessions and just keeping it relaxed.
The Alters - Gave it a fair try, but its not for me. I can see the appeal though, so maybe its just that I’m not in the mood for this kind of game right now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 585
I finished Doom - TDA last weekend. It was fun, but its not a perfect game by any means and its not my favorite Doom at all. I hope the next Doom is more like the 2016 one.
I also picked up Still wakes the deep on a sale, but playing it on the ps5 this time. Great game imo!
And, its summer. I want some relaxing games giving that feel good vibe so I got
Forza Horizon 5 - for the ps5 pro. Its not the best racer (not my favorite Horizon game either) but it really fits the critera above 🙂 looks amazing on the Pro.
TES Oblivion - with the patches coming I cant hold off anymore 😅 it might be so buggy it'll make me furious instead of happy and relaxed, but its one of my favourite games and some parts are better than Skyrim imo so hopefully I can get through it without to much bugs and technical trouble 🙂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 584
Its been mostly Doom - The Dark Ages for me this last week. I’m a couple of chapters from the end and I’m enjoying it. Its good old fast paced action fun with some great level design. The shield is a fun addition, however I do feel it gets a bit to arcadey with different colored attacks for deflecting etc but its a minor complaint. Also, rest assured that even if you find yourself in the belly of the Beast, you’ll find Sentinel Shrines there so you can upgrade your gear. A bit less of that sort of thing would have been better imo. But all in all, very fun 🙂
Re: Oblivion Remastered Patch 1.1 Finally Confirmed, Out on PS5 Next Week
Well a couple more patches and then maybe its time to get it 😅
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 583
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Its done, and the platinum trophy is mine 🥹 Its high on my list of the best games I’ve ever played, imo a true masterpiece in every aspect and it will stay with me in that way that truly great games do! I’ll replay it every now and then and I’ll also listen to the soundtrack from time to time.
Doom - TDA - Barely just started but seems like what I need right now, all action and no brain, and it runs good on the Series S so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 582
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - I’ve finished the story now. What an amazing game, absolutely love it. Its one of my favorite games of all time. Finishing of some collectibles and bosses for the platinum. Not really looking forward to finishing it, dont want it to end as I enjoy it so much and I always get that hollow feeling after completing a great game and need a day or two before starting something new.
Think play I’ll Doom next, might be the perfect palette cleanser.
