What games are you playing now?

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business. Loving it so far, just like the previous RoboCop game it's just surprisingly good.

Really want to play this; the last game was great and if the new one is more of the same then I am sure I'll enjoy it!

Is there any carry over with the save game from Rogue City, or do you start from scratch?

Yesterday I finished with Assassin's Creed Shadows and I can say that game is fantastic! I spent 132h with Naoe (more) and Yasuke. I hope so this is not my final hanging with these two great warriors in big, wonderful setting Japan.

Also yesterday, I started with fresh bought Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. Spent with it 3h and today 5h more - what I saw is very promising. Great story, graphics and majestic music - it reminds me on South of Midnight, where music was fantastic too. I see this will stick me to PS5 too.

It‘s one of the greatest RPG‘s ever made imo. It‘s a must play if you like open world games with a cool story and great characters!

I might try it in the future. Gotta play some different things though. gt7 is boring playing 75% of the time.

I wasn't able to find any option to import data from Rogue City, unfortunately. Nothing in the settings and no prompt when you start a game.

Had some cash left over on my Nintendo account. So on a whim, I downloaded The Escapists 2 as it was discounted to $7.50. Still coming to terms with the mechanics and everything, but I really do like the vibe of it. Also bouncing between F1 Manager 24 and NBA 2K25 (sorely for the Eras mode) on the PS.

Destiny 2 (new campaign is not good and full of bugs) Gran Turismo 7, World of Warships Legends all on PS5 Pro and Raid Shadow Legends on my Gaming PC.

Got a bit bored of the Resident Evil classic marathon by the time I got the remakes and I had a voucher for Amazon so I bought Expedition 33.

I was initially put off because I had heard it was difficult but so far its fine, still only 7 hours in though, I wont hesitate to drop the difficulty if it gets extremely hard as I just cant do very hard games these days.

After 7 hours im loving it. Cant wait to see how the story plays out, very good setting and storytelling so far, and by far the best turn based battles ive ever played.
The lumina/pictos and each characters different battle power ups and the way they counter act each other is a bit confusing though which is the only part im really struggling to get on-board with.

I technically finished Control today (in about 15 hrs of gameplay), but there's a lot of things to do after plus the two expansions. Easily one of the best games I've played/experienced. 9/10.

 

[GlamFM]

Still chipping away at Death Stranding 2. certainly starting to overstay its welcome.

 

[Fezzik]

Actually finish a playthrough or hit 1000 hours - not sure which will happen first.

In honor of Ozzy Osbourne, I'm playing the last part of Doom: The Dark Ages with a playlist of him and it fits like a glove.

And I finished the game today in about 25 hours of total playtime. It's visually impressive, with great shooting mechanics, but rather shallow in the story department (demons bad, you kill demons, the end). I may get back to it when the expansion is out, so 8.5/10 is my rating.

I've been looking at trying out Palia. Having put many hours into Disney Dreamlight Valley already, I thought this game would feel similar to play.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I'm putting serious hours now into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Update: And at 12 hours of gameplay time I gave up, even though I played in story mode (easy) difficulty. Although it's turn based, it also has the parry/evade mechanics of souls-type games that I detest, like delayed responses and spam combinations, second stages, self-healing, etc. This causes the fights to drag for 10-20 minutes or so, even against lesser minions. It's a beautiful game to see and hear (that soundtrack), no doubt, it's just not for me. My rating is N/A.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Started my second playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 last month and it‘s even better than I remembered it. I‘ve been playing videogames for 20 years now and RDR 2 is easily the best and most immersive game I have ever experienced. Absolute masterpiece!

• Donkey Kong Bananza

I’m putting my newly-acquired Switch 2 through its paces and this one has been getting the most mileage for me so far (no disrespect to Mario Kart World). I am simply in awe over how vast the levels are (compared to Mario Odyssey at least) and how you can smash pretty much anything. It just feels great to just punch the ground to explore what’s underneath and find collectables. This game very much deserves to be called ‘next-gen’ in the way in that the game just doesn’t feel possible on the previous hardware.

• Rock Band 3

Say what you want about plastic instrument rhythm games, but I still love these games. There’s a great selection of songs with plenty of lesser-known indie cuts that I liked listening to as well as playing regardless of instrument (yes, I play all of them, and on Expert too) mixed in with mainstream rock/metal classics the games were typically known for.

Besides having a guitar, drums and mic, I even have the keyboard peripheral which was introduced for this game, but I don’t quite have the courage to hunt for the pro guitar (which has six rows of buttons to mimic strings, and with not nearly as many frets as a real guitar). Between the setlist, keys, and pro instruments, this is the definitive game of the genre even though it came out when the fad was basically dead.
