Yeah, it\u2019s not a very exciting secret, is it? But that means, starting this week, we\u2019re back in real-time!<\/p>\n<p>Jamie O&#8217;Neill<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happily addicted to drifting around corners in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/arcade_archives_2_ridge_racer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arcade Archives Ridge Racer<\/a>, so I&#8217;ve dug out my old disc to play the nostalgic PS1 port, too.<\/p>\n<p>Jenny Jones<\/p>\n<p>This weekend I&#8217;ll be checking out the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/tags\/ps-plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PS Plus<\/strong><\/a> offerings and playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/disney_epic_mickey_rebrushed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed<\/a>. I adored this game on the Wii so I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing it with improved graphics.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Ramsey<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always hard to move on to a new game after finishing a big RPG, but with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/trails_beyond_the_horizon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trails beyond the Horizon<\/a> done, the schedule&#8217;s open and I&#8217;m pondering. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/yakuza_kiwami_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yakuza Kiwami 2<\/a> might be the answer ahead of Kiwami 3&#8217;s release, and it gives me an excuse to try out the 60fps PS5 version.<\/p>\n<p>Sammy Barker<\/p>\n<p>After some travelling these past few weeks I&#8217;ve fallen behind on my live service games. So I&#8217;m catching up with the main quests in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/zenless_zone_zero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zenless Zone Zero<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/honkai_star_rail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honkai: Star Rail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Tailby<\/p>\n<p>I was going to start playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/ace_combat_7_skies_unknown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown<\/a>, but I&#8217;d forgotten that I also received a copy of the remastered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps1\/ace_combat_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ace Combat 5: Squadron Leader<\/a> at the same time, so I&#8217;ve started playing through that. AC5 was what got me into the series, so I&#8217;ve been having a blast revisiting an old favourite.<\/p>\n<p>An eclectic selection is keeping us busy this weekend, then, but what about you?
