  1. That was a good game it was up there with silent Hill
    And resident evil at the time 💯

  2. Got my hands on FFX again, so I’m playing through that at the minute. Fell in love with that game in my teens.

    Hopefully, Oblivion and Expidition 33 come down in price at some point.

  3. Just got a steam deck loving it and most of the way through hogwarts. It was either that or a series X but I already have a ps5 so went for the deck. Miss game pass now I sold my series s though.

    Got about 5 retro consoles I just picked up and need to rest before I sell on today

  4. Started playing GTA San Andreas for the umpteenth time sporadically a while ago, just finished End Of The Line again yesterday. Will I go for 100%? Probably not, I’ll probably start Vice City again instead. Have done 100% a few times now and it is quite the grind.

  5. I *would* be trying to complete **Persona 5 Royal** this week, but the next four days are 30°C+ and I’ll probably need to keep my furnace-of-a-laptop off to help cope.

    Am going to spend the remainder of my birthday money on the summer sales though. Put *Expedition 33* off long enough – that’ll be my next game.

  6. **Death Stranding 2** still. Slowly opening up more of the continent and chipping away at building roads whilst picking up orders. The human enemies are getting tougher but I’m getting better weapons to deal with them. Disappointed in the lack of BT encounters though, i don’t feel there are enough areas of them and those there are, are mostly out of the way as opposed to human camps which are usually right by a road. Having great fun with it though and I don’t think I’m even halfway through.

  7. I was actually thinking about playing **Dino Crisis**. Really fancied it as a child avidly reading PlayStation magazine, but we never got that one, so maybe it’s finally time.

    This week I finished **Crow Country**. Really enjoyed the retro survival horror feeling, the puzzles, and it had a really solid ending with some interesting revelations about what was going on in the theme park.

  8. I played Mario Kart on my brother in law’s Switch 2 at the weekend, I do not need another screen to be addicted to…

  9. Replaying cyberpunk, until I can afford to replace my old Xbox one.

    I’ve countless hours in the game, but never managed the, don’t fear the reaper ending. So pushing through that at the moment.

  10. Still enjoying my playthrough of TOTK on Switch 2. Didnt really click with me when it came out as i need a bit more hand holding in terms of story. Im still awful at some of the puzzles.

    I really want to play Death Stranding 2 but waiting to get a few games out the way first. As usual i did my 3rd replay of Cyberpunk and AGAIN stopped playing at the last mission as im usually burnt out by then. Really need to go and complete that for my own sanity.

  11. Been enjoying indie games a lot more, a lovely addictive one is **Thronefall**. You take place of a king defending his kingdom through invasions each night. A nice blend of RTS and tower defence. Super simple art style and great gameplay loop.

    Another is a different tower defence **Tower Dominion**. A roguelite which has a surprising amount of depth. Loads to unlock and play around with, found myself staying up far too late thinking to myself “Just one more run…”

  12. Ghost of Tsushima on my Steam Deck, with a bit of Dead Cells and Maniac thrown in for good measure

  13. Loved Dino Crisis 1 & 2! Brings back school memories. I hope they do a remake of those two.
    I’m taking a long time to complete games etc due to life and work commitments.

    Assuming I get some time this week, I plan to do some gaming on PS5: Spider-Man 2 and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

  14. Used to play the shit out of Dino Crisis back in the day, even had Dylan as my profile photo on many gaming forums at the time.

    I found is there any deal (site) and loaded it up with a few games to watch out for and picked up a few bargains recently. BF1/5/2042, FTL, Diablo 4 plus some others I cant remember.

    I know that any game I get will be mostly played during lunch break and not any other time because home life is super hectic. so I cant really justify paying that much on a game only to play it next to never.

    Still got the eyes watching for a smashing deal on cyberpunk though.

  15. Cyberpunk 2077 and Stardew Valley. I’m waiting on the new content for World of Warcraft, too

  16. Played through FTL with every ship on easy.

    Compulsively went though to start a run with every ship on Normal, about half way through now.

    God help me if I carry on to hard mode.

    No time for anything else. I don’t need to do sim practice for the Nurburgring now but I might try a few offline race series as it’s very enjoyable when I get into it (project cars2 or Forza motorsport!)

  17. I’ve always done my best to avoid Steam Sales like the plague, so I don’t have 2,500 games. I’ve failed this year, though the games i’ve bought are ones i’ll definitely play and aren’t necessarily yearly iterations so they’ll have a bit of longevity.

    The main one i’ve been playing is **The Division 2**, I liked the first one but the online co-op only element of it was a bit of a pain. Having a single player run through means I can chip away at it, even if random events on the way to actual missions seem to take up more time than they should!

    I also bought **Grand Theft Auto IV** with the expansions. I played IV on the Xbox 360 and honestly rate IV more than V as the latter felt a bit more arcadey in aspects like driving and ragdoll. It’s another one of those that I can play the single player campaign bit by bit, and there’s no time limit on it even with VI being released as it’ll only be on consoles initially.

    **Le Mans Ultimate** isn’t going to get played immediately because the logic is when I redesign my desk setup i’ll have space for a wheel and pedals. That’s also going to be a lead in to subscribing to **iRacing** which will surely become an addiction!

  18. Finished part 4 of Yakuza 5 last night, on to the finale now (Amon fight, yay >.>). I’ve enjoyed 5, but I’m ready to finish it and move on to 6, 5 has probably been the longest of the series so far.

    Continuing with a custom club career in FC25 as well, currently at the top of league one in my second season, having started in league 2.

    At the end of act two in Expedition 33 now, just finishing up some map stuff before going to the obvious end of act point. Currently in a danger area grinding out levels a bit.

    Started a playthrough of Medievil, the PS4 version, over the weekend, having watched some retrospectives on the game recently.

    Finished the story of Fantasy Life i now, I’m slowly building things up and working towards mastering the lives now.

    Finished a playthrough of Yes, Your Grace over the weekend. Enjoyed it, but it didn’t seem as open as I expected. Need to play the sequel sometime.

    Basically, I’m playing too much and I’m incapable of settling to something.

  19. **Lies of P** – Picked it up on Steam sale and it’s a very competent soulslike game. It’s shameless in it’s stealing of mechanics but does a few things different. Not different enough to be problematic though. I can definitely recommend it.

  20. **Crusader Kings 3**. I’ve managed to unite all of Spain before year 1000. My next goal is to acquire Aquitaine (France) through marriage of their King’s daughter to my son and heir, which should work fine, so long as her brothers run into some… unfortunate accidents. >:)
