Starfield - I think Im nearing the end of the main story, will probably wrap up some side missions first as I found them to be the best missions the game has to offer. But after that Im done. And I dont think I’ll replay it as I often do with Bethesdas RPGs, just dont see myself enjoying it enough. Not a bad game at all, its very good most of the time even with all the issues, its just not a great game imo.

The Crew Motorfest - played the trial for a bit. Very positively surprised at how good it was, like a mix of Forza Horizon and Need for Speed. Will be playing this one for sure.

Imsomniac has some tech wizards lvl 100 working for them. Cant wait!

@Loamy never understood the whole Im leaving thing. Especially when you actually dont leave 😂

@PixelDragon he has. Probably good for him, he’s likely having a meltdown over it so it wouldnt have been pretty 😂

Some gems in there, if not much new. Spider-Man 2 looks amazing, FF 7 too. And looking forward to Avatar 😃

Starfield - its a good game and Im enjoying it but there are some issues. It really is fallout in space, not a bad thing but feels like a reskin basically (not really, bit harsh that maybe). Feels like I’ll play the main missions and bigger side missions but then move on to other games. Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 3 I’ve played so many times, but Fallout 4 only once and probably the same with Starfield. Feels like Bethesda needs to change things for the next Elder Scrolls or it might not be all that good.

Edit - I wrote feels a lot. Feels ok though so not editing that 😁

@Svark thats impressive! And yeah, Im def gonna play this at some point. Maybe sooner than later after all this 😆

@PixelDragon I should also wait but damn its hard . And now a10/10 review… ***** 😂

@Loamy Damnit everyone is making this so hard for me, I really should wait before playing this game because Starfield and then Spider-Man 2. Maybe I dont need to be at work for two months? 😂

@Terra_Custodes havent played the first three Uncharted games for a few years now but your post really made me want to. But as always, new games I want to play and too little time… Maybe next summer 🙂

@Vacuumator yeah feels like they put it there just because but then all hero missions feels like intruductions for the multiplayer and are the missions I enjoy the least

Played since last week 🙂

Hubris - done and even platinumed. I enjoyed it, but its not perfect. I’d give it a 7/10.

SW Battlefront 2 campaign - near the end, been enjoying replaying this game.

Sea of Stars - one or two hours in, its a great game so far even if Im not totally hooked (yet). Visuals and the feeling is top notch. Will keep playing, at least until Starfield 😎

If they add manual reload etc Im interested but not until then. Had high hopes for this, feels like a step backwords sadly

Nice review, been looking forward to this for some time so will play it at release but might have to pause it for Starfield or if its really great the other way around

Astro Bot Rescue Mission for VR is so good, one of the better games I’ve ever played. Hoping for both a remaster of that game for PSVR 2 as well as a new game for VR.

Will be happy with a traditional game as well, the one that comes with the console is pretty great 😊

I’ve had little time to game this week but continuing with Hubris on PSVR 2, enjoying it.

Also tried the update for No Mans Sky, which made an already amazing game in VR even better 😀

@PixelDragon Been a lot of bans on EG sadly. But hey, at least he is not on this site and I agree it is nice here 😁

@PixelDragon hi Pixel! I’m not as active commenting here as on EG but its very nice to see you here 🙂

@deathaxe No they are still very, very overpriced imo. They need to drop at least 50 percent before I’ll even consider buying one.

Deliver us Mars – since last week I´ve finished and platinumed it. Great story imo, despite some technical issues and janky controls I really enjoyed it a lot.

PSVR 2 - finally reunited with my PSVR 2. Been playing some GT 7 and other games, but also picked up Hubris. It looks really good, controls could be a bit better but Im enjoying it.

Everspace 2 – gave it a whirl but the stutter was to much. Havent tried it after the patch but heard it got fixed so will go back.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 – so I started the campaign on the Series S while waiting for downloads to complete. Been wanting to replay it for some time, it still looks really good and its still fun.

Also, been playing the make space for Starfield on my series S internal drive game. Very difficult and not very fun game that, can not recommend.

While mainly waiting for the big games to start dropping in september I’ve decided to wait with FF XVI and play some shorter games. So in the sale I picked up

Deliver us Mars - been on my to play list a while. Enjoyed the first game but I like this one even more. About half way in its a great story and I can oversee some minor technical issues and jankiness.

Zelda TotK - so the credits have rolled. What a game! I didnt do everything, the game is so big I would burn myself out, and imo its best when just exploring or journeying to new places for quests. There were some truly amazing parts in the game, and some parts less so. Still feels good to have completed it so I can focus on other story games!

NFS Unbound - done and platinumed. Pretty fun!

My little pony - another great experience with my daughter. Game was pretty ok too!

More TotK, got that Sword 😁 done another temple so two more to go, then see if I can start the end run or if I need to upgrade some more.

NFS Unbound - got some collectibles and such left, then that shiny Platinum is mine 😎

After that is either the campaign in CoD cold war or Alan Wake. Looking forward to them both. Might also start the Ascent… 😃

The Ascent is a nice addition for me. Also guessing Im playing My little pony with my daughter 😅 hopefully its an easy platinum 😂

Mainly Zelda TotK (will be for a while) and some NFS Unbound and Apex in between.

Oh and me and my younger kid double dipped Peppa Pig for two shiny Platinums. Awesome! The experience, not the game 😅

Not going to pay extra for this game but since its on GamePass I’ll play it for a bit and see if I like it.

That would be awesome, most wanted is very good. Would prefer a remake of Underground 2 but maybe we can have both? 😀

I play UFC 4 from time to time, but only stand and Bang online as thats where the game shines and its really fun! Looking forward to the next game 😀🥊

Mainly Zelda TofK, which of course is great.

Also enjoying NFS Unbound more than I thought, simple but pretty fun arcade racer

If they do a good job Im all for it, love that game and have been meaning to replay it but havent gotten around to it so good news for me 😁 still take Jackdaw for a cruise sometimes, very relaxing and the shanties are awesome!

I finished Zelda the Minish Cap. Pure magic, loved it.

Now on to Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Just a couple of hours in but love it already, despite hating the breaking weapons 😃

I want to play FF 16 as well but will wait a bit 😅 If I can keep myself away from it that it 😬

Never played this so was planning to give it a try. Extra bonus with added trophies 🙂

CoD MW 2 - finished the campaign. Pretty good, didnt enjoy it as much as MW but still good blockbuster action fun.

Zelda the Minish Cap - never played this and after a couple of hours Im enjoying it a lot. Good old school Zelda 😍 and, when Im finished with it its time to start Tears of the Kingdom!

Ooohh, sweet! Will probably do a full third playthrough and then play the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Love this game, despite all the apparent flaws. With them mostly gone or improved after the update, the game is in a good place!

This looks very promising

I played for a bit and really like what I played. Looks great, soundtrack is awesome, fighting is a lot better than I expected. Skipped cutscenes so cant say very much about the story. Some minor technical issues in performance mode but not much, will probably be fixed quickly.

So it will probably be a very awesome game 😀

Red Matter, 2 PSVR2 – finished and platinumed. Really enjoyed this one, looks and plays amazing and has some clever puzzles. Recommend anyone with a PSVR 2 to check it out.

Planet of Lana – playing this in shorter sessions, like the graphics and feeling etc but its not a game I would play for straight hours even if I like it.

CoD Modern Warfare 2 – so, CoD campaigns are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine 😊 played the modern warfare reboot, which I really enjoyed, and picked MW 2 from a friend, special price for me, and Im really enjoying this one too. Plus, buying second hand doesnt give Kotick any bonuses 😊 Otherwise the plan was to wait for the games to be on GamePass and play all the campaigns but I have some days before I plan on starting Zelda so this fit perfectly.

PSVR 2 – GT 7 still rocks my boat, picked up walkabout mini golf (brilliant), kayaking in Kayak (relaxing) and Humanity (fun).

(Done, sorry bout the many (), dont know why I did that but there it is)

Really like the game, looks amazing and plays great. Not had many issues at all with item manipulation but you always have to be a bit forgiving in games. Def a game to check out if you have a PSVR 2

Apart from the usual games I play

Jedi Survivor – Finished and platinumed. Loved the game, many improvements from the first game. Technical issues remain, but other than that a great game imo.

Ravenlok – so the eldest starting playing this and needed help occasionally and in the end I helped him so much my own playthrough got ruined. Totally worth it though, so nice to play with/help him 😀

Planet of Lana – slowly going through this. Pretty nice platformer.

Red Matter 2 PSVR 2 – great game, think I’ve played like a third of the game. Really fun puzzles and it looks really crisp. Pretty cheap too, so if you have a PSVR 2 I´d recommend checking this game out.

I think we need more games as well but its still early days so hopefully its going to improve. We really need PSVR games made playable on the PSVR 2 for a start.

That said, Im enjoying it a lot. GT 7 will give me hundreds of awesome hours before Im done, if one ever gets done with that game. So for me that one game makes it worth it. There are also more awesome games on it already, Moss 1 & 2, Horizon, Kayak, Red Matter 2 etc.

But yeah, a roadmap for more games would be nice!

Star Wars Jedi:Survivor - finished the main story, its really great. Actually love the game now. So going for the platinum which should be a lot of fun and a lot easier than Fallen Order due to fast travel etc

Ravenlok - slowly going through this. Decent game, looks really charming and plays pretty ok.

Humanity - played some levels in psvr 2 and its a really cool game. Will play more!

Kayak - almost done with the platinum. Kayaking around the Island in Papagayo is almost a daily thing now and the perfect break from just sitting on my ass so Im gonna keep playing long after the platinum.

And of course Apex and other PSVR 2 games, as usual

Ok well then I´m not interested. GT 7 has me covered for another 1000 hours but I would have picked up F1 as well. Bad desicion by EA especially since they are making a PC VR version.

@Phornix graphics isnt everything but you are throwing in opinions about which games are better or not based on your preference like a little fanboy. Just stop that. That wasnt what my comment was about at all. It was about how much more you probably would enjoy Zelda on a much more powerful console given how much more the developers could add to the experience.

@Total_Weirdo yeah sure. But then imagine Zelda in the Decima engine on something as powerful as a ps5 of better.

What I´ve played since last week

Star Wars Jedi Survivor PS5 – really like this game, its a step up from the first and I´m having a blast. It needs patches to fix some technical issues but it´s not so bad it ruins the game for me. Still, better if you wait 😊

Apex Legends – enjoying the new season and the new legend.

Ravenlok on Series S – its a really nice game with a lot of charm, can recommend it.

PSVR 2 – goes without saying really 😊 got my first L in Creed boxing, but that was pretty awesome as it went like 9 rounds and I got a good workout as well. Also GT7, Kayak, Thumper. Hoping for some VR games in the upcoming Sony show.

@Powerplay94 yes it sucks to have to wait when you really want to play a game, so much so that I just gave in and started playing even knowing the issues. They are not gamebreaking in any way though, but you would have a better experience if you sre smarter than me and wait a bit as you say 😅

@rusty82 I think its worth it, but waiting for a sale never hurts either. Gives the developer time to patch the game a bit as well, not that its in a state where it desperatly needs it.

My gaming since last time

Redfall – so yeah, not going to play more of this dissappointing game if I can avoid it. Bad in every aspect imo, not just the technical issues. Was looking forward to the game so Im a bit bummed by it. My eldest likes it though, imagine that. But then, he and his friends still play Roblox and have fun and given that Redfall pretty much could be a Roblox game maybe its not so surprising 😉

Jedi Survivor – real shame it suffers from technical issues because its a great game and I´m having a really, really good time with it. Still, would recommend anyone wanting to play it to wait for a bit longer.

Brambles – finished it earlier in the week. Really enjoyed it. It starts nice and cosy and gets pretty dark and grim along the way. Its a little bit janky but nothing to bad, can recommend it.

Apex – mostly waiting for next weeks update and new legend

Loved the first game so a sequel would be awesome! Hopefully on a new school
