What-We’re-Playing-Wednesday (July 25, 2018)

What are you playing?

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 …

Octopath Traveler Prologue Demo (Switch) – I havenâ€™t really had time to play games as Iâ€™ve recently started on the night shift so portable gaming is my friend. I decided to check out Octopath as a few friends have raved about how amazing this game as and damn they ainâ€™t lying! I am going to pick this game from my local game supplier and sink some serious hours into it during my breaks. IF you havenâ€™t checked out the demo, you totally should as the game is a blend of old school 16-bit era JRPGs blended with 3D environments.
Mega Man X Collection (PS4) – I only started playing this after I finished my shift on Tuesday morning. Iâ€™ve never been an incredible Mega Man player but Iâ€™m willing to learn!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC) – Believe it or not, I’ve never actually beaten Oblivion, despite it being in my game library for years. I’ve decided that I should use the rest of 2018 to try an accomplish this rather than replaying Skyrim for the 300th time. I created a fresh new character to venture forth with; wish me luck!

Gears of War 4 (XB1) – Grinding Horde mode for the last few solo Achievements.
Watch Dogs 2 (PS4) – This was next in the Adventures of Dan vs The Backlog. It’s actually pretty interesting and fun, despite its flaws. If this is an improvement over the first game, I legit do not want to play it.
Resident Evil 2 (PSP) – With the hype surrounding the remake, might as well give this one another run. Haven’t played it since the Gamecube version.

Mary Skelter: Nightmares (PC) – I actually got a chance to have a go at this last year at MCM, and while it’s not running too well on PC, I’m actually… enjoying a dungeon crawler?! They’ve made a concerted effort to make it as least frustrating as possible, so it’s so much more engrossing than others I’ve played (YES, Demon Gaze II, I am looking at you).

World of Warcraft (PC) – It finally happened. Sarah, being the WoW fan and all round cold-blooded Blizzard salesperson she is finally got me to play World of Warcraft. Now, having arrived a little late to the party, I’ve just been spending my time having a look at what the game has to offer. And with that being said, I need ideas for places to visit!
Titanfall 2 (PS4) – Welp, I now terrible at Titanfall 2 again, I’m gonna have to put in some serious time to get back to knowing what the hell I’m doing in this game again.
