What-We’re-Playing-Wednesday (April 18, 2018)

Each week we’ll give you the low-down on the games that have been keeping the GGS Gamer staff busy on their consoles, PCs and handhelds.

Here’s what we’ve been playing this week …

Viki

Persona 5 (PS4) – New Game + run! For my sins, I can’t wait for the remaster years down the line, I need moar.

Far Cry 5 (XB1) – Yeah I can’t get enough. Even the soundtrack has taken over my life.
Friday the 13th (XB1/PS4) – Grinding up my XB1 profile. Need I say more?
Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) – Tackling the backlog. It’s quite dizzying and cumbersome to play, but still ripping good times.

Ni No Kuni 2 Revenant Kingdom (PS4) – Itâ€™s drawing to a close! I will definitely have my review up before the next WWPW! I wish I had more time to play it when it originally came out over a month ago. Itâ€™s truly amazing and beautiful!

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (PC) – I haven’t played an FPS in a long time, but I recently picked this game up, and it’s been pretty enjoyable so far. I wish the story was more robust, but I’ve enjoyed being able to play a few quick rounds before or after work.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins (PC) – I’m not going to lie, I bought this game 25% because it was on sale and 75% because it looks really pretty. I’m usually pretty bad at stealth games (i.e. I’m impatient and impulsive!) but I haven’t had too much difficulty with the gameplay so far. I’m also really enjoying the setting. I’m a sucker for anything related to Egypt, and this game certainly hasn’t disappointed in that respect.
Overwatch (PC) – I got sucked into the Retribution event this past week and have had a hard time putting Overwatch down ever since. Keeping my fingers crossed I get the Blackwatch Moira skin sometime soon!

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (XB1) â€“ Still no delicious chicken dinner for me I’m afriad. But, I did manage to make a fun game where I drive from house to house and drop off different items I have, like an out of season Santa… or a postman. I think I’m beginning to understand why I still have no chicken dinner in this game.
FIFA 17 (PS4) â€“ Because I have no chicken dinner, I can’t seem to get good at Bloodborne, because people have become really good at Titanfall 2, because I still haven’t picked up FIFA 18 yet â€“ because I’m really bloody good at FIFA, and I just went a whole season unbeaten. That’s why I’m playing FIFA 17… still.

Rise of the Tomb Raider (XBX) – Making use of the game pass on Xbox, I decided to try out RotTR as somehow it had slipped me by when it was released. Such a fantastic looking game in 4K with the enhanced update for XBX. Amazing story and scenery, enjoyed it a little too much and ended up 100 percent it. Really really sad the adventure is over, it made me feel so Indiana Jones.
Attack On Titan 2 (XBX) – Playing this game for an upcoming review, I adore the anime series, so I’m hoping it lives up to my own hyped expectations. Loving the game so far though, it has really nice combat and graphics.

Sky Force Anniversary (XB1) – Because I have it on PS4 and it was free with the Xbox Game Pass. Why should I start clearing my backlog of games when I can play the same game again but on a different console?
World of Warcraft (PC) – World quests. And checking BattleNet every day in anticipation of the alpha access that never arrives but that everyone else in my guild seems to have access to. :(
