Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 28-29)

Going through some Horde XL on world war Z, which is decent and probably more Deus Ex

On PS5 i will be playing Forspoken and Star Ocean The Divine Force, the latter is underrated and my favourite star ocean so far.

On the switch I will be playing Fire Emblem Engage and Bayonetta 3.

And on the Series S I will continue with Cyberpunk 2077 and might give Hi-fi Rush a try. I also have been invited to a Technical Test of Skull and Bones for this weekend by ubisoft, I've signed the NDA and chose the xbox version so I might give that a go.

I am playing Goldeneye 007

Hi-Fi rush! Is the game that I have been waiting for the whole generation! A mix of my two favorite games of all time , bayonetta and patapon! Can’t be happier!

Family weekend but getting in a little
Hi fi Rush of course, enjoying so far.

Hi-Fi Rush and One Piece Odyssey for me.

HFR and Dishonored DE on Series X. Picking up Dead Space today but probably wont get to play it till next week.

Hi-fi Rush and I was going to play something from my backlog but I just discovered that Mommy's Best (my favourite dev from the XBL Indie Games program on 360) has re-released his stuff on the marketplace so I'll be playing Weapon of Choice until my fingers bleed. Have a good weekend all!

I just finished Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception on the Playstation.

Rest of the weekend I'll be playing Hi-Fi Rush on gamepass and also continuing my playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Remake.

A but of Sea of Thieves tomorrow. I’m hoping to take my brother through the latest adventure before it goes away on Wednesday.

Some Kingdom Rush too. It’s a but clunky on a controller but it’s still good fun.

Other than that probably not HiFi Rush. I gave it a go. Great looking game but I’m terrible with rhythm based games.

P4G and Alan Wake remaster. P4G is taking up most of my gaming time though.

Dead Space and Hi-Fi Rush. Maybe an occasional level of Goldeneye.

Dead Space Remake on Ps5 along with Elden Ring. On game pass Hi Fi Rush, Goldeneye and Monster Hunter Rise

@ParsnipHero Sea of Thieves with friends is always a solid choice. I want to complete Maiden of Black Water 100% (second walkthrough) and then Goldeneye 007. There are many others I want to play like Hi-Fi Rush. The fact that I replay some games and life mean that my backlog will never be completed 😂.

First and foremost I need to give a special shout-out to the surprise Game Pass drop from Wednesday’s Xbox Direct: Hi-Fi Rush. This game is spectacular, along with its soundtrack. It has that PS2/GameCube era feel with modern controls. I’ve put in six hours into it and have defeated the third boss as of writing this, and I am craving to put more time into it once I get home from work.

There is a wonderful blend of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Jet Set Radio, and Sunset Overdrive, due to its linearity, characters, world design, collectibles, music, art style, and how it feels to play the game. Speaking of art, the animation is amazing; I could easily spend an entire day watching an anime if this was a television show.

I’ve been surprised as to how well paced it is. Acquiring new skills is spread out just far enough for the game not to get stale. If you sprinkle in a few basic abilities with the limited exploration, you are rewarded with benefits that are always useful. Thankfully, you’ll want to spend time exploring because of how gorgeous the game world is.

One of the best things about this game is that you don’t actually have to keep a rhythm to make progress—it’s only an added benefit. I think the developers knew that going into it, and I’m glad they created a well crafted game that is easily accessible.

In modern gaming with open world bloat, live service, early access and constant patches, Hi-Fi Rush is what I call old school fun. It’s absolutely essential and one of Xbox’s best exclusives in years. Possible GOTY? It’s early on, but I believe it will be. This game seems to have the same energy Elden Ring did when it released (maybe not as widespread, but people are talking about this game everywhere, and for good reason).

Secondly, I’m playing Dead Space Remake. It’s only fitting to play it on an Xbox console considering that’s where I played the original. So far, I’m very impressed. It’s been years since I’ve played the game so nearly everything feels new again.

The atmosphere and overall tone is masterclass. It truly makes you feel claustrophobic and confined, but not completely vulnerable. I love the variety of weapons at your disposal and how you can use the environment to destroy enemies. This remake only solidifies what has already been known: Dead Space is one of the best, if not the best survival horror game ever made.

I beat River City Girls just before Hi-Fi Rush got announced which I was playing but I beat it this morning.

I’m probably gonna play High on Life on the Xbox Series X or Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on the PS5.

Might also start Pokemon Puzzle league on Nintendo Switch Online.

Currently playing return to monkey island on gamepass

Taking a break from Xbox this weekend as there is really nothing I fancy playing.

Will probably spend a few hours on Gran Turismo 7 on my PS4 pro. Blame all the recent talk about Forza Motorsport. GT7 still offers the most accessible online multiplayer closed track racing on any console & it's a fun set of tracks this week

I will probably play a bit more of Riftbreaker. An excellent real time strategy game which feels a little obtuse at the beginning but once things click they click amazingly.

A whole mess of stuff. More than I normally do since I try to keep it to a two game minimum. But between Xbox and switch I'm drowning!

• Fire emblem engage
• Chained Echoes
• Hi Fi Rush
• goldeneye on xbox
• maybe some infernax

I'm playing Skyward Sword HD ..

Skyrim still, dropped the survival mode because it was taking forever. Now it just takes a lifetime. 🙃

Elden ring, finally getting almost good at it. And a game that I can't talk about since I signed a NDA . I didn't know that company were giving early access at random players like that but it's cool.

Judgement PS5
HiFi Rush series X

I want them both finished before Hogwartz, so I need to put some hours in!

I rolled credits on both God of War (2018) and Spider-Man Miles Morales yesterday….

Gonna begin Ghost of Tsushima I think. Been heavy on my ps5 ever since it came home

@Banjo- yea, SoT is my favourite at the moment. My wife & I play most evenings together. My brother is in the UK and I’m on US Eastern time so Sunday is the only day we can play together. I try not to rope him in each week but we’ve played most Sunday’s since Christmas.

I want to go back and 100% Pirate’s Life at some point for the shanty. Will likely spread it out a bit Pirate’s Life was our first foray into tall tales. The mission style was nice but we did the whole thing in 5 evenings and it left me yearning for regular gameplay again.

Super Monkey Ball 2: Sakura Edition (Windows Phone) - I forgot about how fast the difficulty spikes in these games...

Rayman Jungle Run (Windows Phone) - Nearly all lums on all levels.

Age of Sparta (Windows Phone) - Nearly gone as far as I can with this.

The masterpiece that is Hi-Fi Rush with a side of Dead Space

Goldeneye of course, what else?
I still remember reading a lot of previews/reviews of the game before it came out.
The gaming magazines raved about the game and i remember being very skeptical looking at the screenshots and having never played a 3D FPS before.
I thought it can't be that good...how wrong i was!!!

Just smashed out agent difficulty on Goldeneye. I personally think it (this HD version) still holds up - had a really good time going through it. Not sure I ever completed it (without cheats at least) as a kid so yea was fun!

Main focus will be Dead Space remake (Xbox Series X) but might work in a few other games. Still going through Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion (PS5) as well.

I'm going to have to go with Hi-Fi Rush.

Subnautica on Xbox. Maybe Elden ring or Forza horizon 5.

Dead Space all the way!

GoldenEye on Xbox and As Dusk Falls. The Xbox port of 007 is pretty good overall! Not as good as Perfect Dark's port, but still very playable. Nearly done secret agent and getting cheats whenever they arise.

Hi-fi rush...gotta admit this game wouldnt have been in my radar due to its genre. But im gladly suprised how good it is. Just finished the first big boss and it's so unique. The main guy could move a bit faster though.
Also continuing fenyx rising which is awesome

@somnambulance Happy birthday dude!
I tend to take a day off for birthdays and play games too, its become a tradition.

Yakuza like a dragon

Such an amazing game

Going through Blood and Wine expansion on The Witcher 3, this could be a whole game on its own, it is huge.
