Hands up if you had snow overnight? Well lucky you, because while I still have a chill in the air in my neck of the woods, it’s merely accompanied by wind and some rain. My cat is thoroughly unimpressed by this and he can’t keep himself entertained with playing Flight Simulator, STALKER 2 or GT7 this weekend.
OK, maybe he’ll watch…
In the News This Week
Games in Review & Featured Articles
This week saw the culmination of one monumental effort by GSC Game Worlds to bring their game to release, despite everything that’s happening to their homeland. Thankfully, even with plenty of hinky bugs and issues, STALKER 2 is a rousing success.
We also had a pair of hardware reviews, with one thing that goes on your head and another thing that all your gaming things can go on.
Elsewhere, Dom got to go hands on with Dynasty Warriors: Origins and had a fabulous time with it – make sure to check out that new demo! – and Jason found Beastieball to be a wonderful mix of Haikyuu and Pokémon.
Aran went back a decade to his PS Vita to play Tearaway, while Dom then looked even further back to the 1990s for more upgrade fodder that Square Enix could apply their lovely HD-2D effect to. Here’s five HD-2D remakes we really want to see.
Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured Dynasty Warriors: Origins, Tearaway & STALKER 2

Your Achievements
Let’s see what you’ve been playing this past week.
TSBonyman came back from a Peter Hook gig in Belfast and got right back into making his own music in Dreams. He’s also started replaying Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall DLC.
Andrewww’s hand was firmly in the air at the head of this round-up, with 20cm of snow last night! Before he got snowed in, he managed to reach the end of Horizon Forbidden West, and managed to clear most of the map of things to do. He also liked the accessibility options that helped remove some of the more unnecessary inputs when interacting with things.
That’s the round up for this week. Hope you have a great weekend ahead!
