That is the primary objective for many, but the gaming backlog never takes a break, especially not on a long weekend. Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;re getting up to!<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Bayne<\/p>\n<p>I was planning to sink some time into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/destiny_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Destiny 2<\/a>, this weekend, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/04\/lords-of-the-fallen-update-2-0-makes-massive-improvements-available-now-for-free-on-ps5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new update<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/lords_of_the_fallen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lords of the Fallen<\/a> has me starting a new save file and playing it all through with a mate.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie O&#8217;Neill<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m planning to both pilot a mech in PS1&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps1\/armored_core\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armored Core<\/a>, and I&#8217;ll also try to decide if I&#8217;m more robot than man in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/robocop_rogue_city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RoboCop: Rogue City<\/a>, but I guess Dick Jones has the answer already. He&#8217;s a cyborg, you idiot!<\/p>\n<p>Robert Ramsey<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/elder_scrolls_iv_oblivion_remastered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oblivion Remastered<\/a> just days away from release (supposedly!), I&#8217;m now in a mad rush to finish off a few things before it demolishes my free time. That means completing side quests in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/assassins_creed_shadows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows<\/a>, concluding the grind in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/monster_hunter_wilds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monster Hunter Wilds<\/a> (for now), and ending a very fun playthrough of RoboCop: Rogue City. It&#8217;s set to be a busy weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Fitzgerald<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Day 49 in the Big Br&#8211; inherited mansion, and Simon is still drafting rooms and solving puzzles.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/blue_prince\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Prince<\/a> is all I&#8217;ll be playing this long weekend and there&#8217;s certainly enough content to keep me busy. I&#8217;ve been scrawling puzzle notes in a journal like a mad man; the wife has even had to stop me scribbling over our lounge walls. There&#8217;s a new clue or a solution here somewhere, I swear!<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Tailby<\/p>\n<p>One thing I really want to play is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/04\/stylish-rhythm-game-unbeatable-gets-free-playable-demo-on-ps5-available-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demo<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/unbeatable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unbeatable<\/a>, a game I&#8217;ve been really looking forward to for a while now. The main thing, though, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/forza_horizon_5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forza Horizon 5<\/a> \u2014 expect a review in due course.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all from us, but what about you lot? As always, sound off about your weekend gaming plans in the comments section below \u2014 and happy Easter to all who celebrate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As we venture into Easter, there&#8217;s more to do than just chow down on chocolate shaped like eggs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[121,126,59,55,516,53,16,15,21569],"class_list":{"0":"post-37607","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-feature","9":"tag-features","10":"tag-ps4","11":"tag-ps5","12":"tag-talking-point","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-what-are-you-playing"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114374510299616312","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
