Your Achievements
Let’s see what you’ve been playing this past week or two.
- Andrewww tried to get back into The Outer Wilds, which is tricky given the interconnected riddles between runs through the solar system of puzzles, but he’s really been enjoying it… Except for the angler fish.
- TSBonyman ventured into Starfield and has been enjoying the vibe and feel so far, though admittedly hasn’t made much progress as he’s working out the menus and gameplay.
That’s the round up for this week. Hope you have a great weekend ahead and we’ll see you back here on Monday!
It’s great to see the weekend approaching again! Those four-day weeks really do make time fly. Hope everyone enjoys their time off and makes the most of it!
