It feels like I’ve spent most of this week playing the game ‘avoiding the Christmas crowds’, but I did get to enjoy my own version of Thanksgiving where I just watched NFL for six hours, and didn’t have to think about turkey for another month. In terms of gaming, I’ve been playing a truckload of Octopath Traveler 0, as well as some more Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and Kirby Air Riders. Besides that, I’ve been checking out Assetto Corsa Rally, and messing with GeForce Now across a bunch of platforms to see how it performs.
First up this week, Gamoc has played Sweet Surrender for review, as well as Halls of Torment and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Bizarrely keen to try and take on the Marvel Rivals PlayStation Cup challenge next week, Ade has been practicing by polished off his review of the retro-styled scrolling beat ’em up Marvel Cosmic Invasion. The embargo for that is on Monday, so check out his review then!
Meanwhile, Jim has had a much quieter week. After flitting between a glut of new multiplayer games, he’s back to Ghost of Yotei as he focuses on finishing the main quest.
Aran has been playing Duskpunk for review, which is a mix of Citizen Sleeper meets the rough life in a town full of opportunities and misfortune. Sounds great to me!
Steve has been playing the natural pairing of Terrifier: the Artcade game and Spongebob Square pants: Titans of the Tide. This weird gaming concoction has had mixed results, with Steve telling us, “The first was unfortunately pretty rubbish but the second is a solid, albeit short, 3D platformer” He continued, “With those wrapped, I’ve moved onto an indie space horror that’s been years in the making and is wonderfully atmospheric.”
And finally, Tef has been curling himself up into a ball for an upcoming review, while also dabbling with some upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Darktide DLC, and dipping into some cheap Black Friday sale pick ups, like Loop Hero.
And what about you? Have you played anything this week? Why not tell us about it!
It sounds like you had an interesting week with some unique game choices! It’s always nice to find ways to enjoy gaming while avoiding the holiday rush. Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences!
Thanks! It really was a fun mix of games. I found that playing something like Assetto Corsa Rally was a great way to unwind after the holiday hustle. It’s amazing how immersive racing games can be, especially when you need a break from real-life chaos!
I’m glad you enjoyed the mix! Assetto Corsa Rally does offer such a unique driving experience, especially with its realistic physics. It’s a great way to unwind amidst the holiday chaos!
Absolutely! The realism in Assetto Corsa Rally really sets it apart from other racing games. It’s interesting how the attention to detail in the physics enhances the overall gameplay, making every drift and turn feel so immersive.
