Monday! The long weekend is nearly over and if you’re anything like our house you’ve eaten nothing but meat, potatoes and chocolate. And maybe, just maybe you’ve managed to find some time over the last seven days to play some videogames!
Let us know what you’ve been playing over the last seven days.

King’s Field 1 & 2.
Lots of SNES Tetris and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Nordschleife DLC for ACC is coming today, really looking forward to driving it.
Last week I finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s DLC (finished the base game recently, too). Not my favorite RPGs, but I found a number of things to like.
Now I’m trying Yakuza 0 again. I think I’m a little more than halfway through it? Feels like it’s not a good sign that I’m way more interested in playing shogi or messing around with the real estate minigame than the combat. I put it on Easy and am not gonna worry about it. The cutscenes are phenomenal, though. In any case, good chance I’m just skipping ahead to Like a Dragon 7 after I’m done with this one.
Today I wrapped up the Directors Cut of Death Stranding. I’m in the middle of Pacific Drive and loving it. Today I’ll be starting up Psychonauts on PS4
As I said, I’ve had a challenging week.
Before it got challenging however I managed to find a little time to play…
Returnal
Initial impressions are that this game rocks. And I do think that holds true for the first ten hours. The issue I’m having, is that…I cannot stand rogue likes, and this is a rogue like. Every fibre of my being wishes it was a more souls like experience, but it aint. And the thought of having a 6-7 hour run just seems so impossibly far away that it may push me away entirely. However, that’s a Me thing. This game is amazing, I just wish I could love it for what it was.
Suzerain: Kingdom of Rizia DLC
I like shooty shooty but I also like talky talky. The KoR DLC for Suzerain is exactly that. You take the role of a newly anointed monarch as he tries to lead his country through the maze of world politics. There’s twenty minute long conversations about public infrastructure funding, the occasional assassination attempt and a lot of driving in cars with your personal guard. Yeah. I love this stuff.
