Hey, PS Blog team: watcha playin’?
Corey: “The re-emergence of has reminded me to finally venture into what many consider Telltale’s best game to date: . I can see why it’s so highly regarded. Slick writing, wonderful voice acting and a fun gameplay spin on the adventure formula. And I get to put a character named ‘Rhys’ into morally questionable situations. Mwhahahahahaaaa.”
Rhys: “Being resigned to the fact that I’m not tough enough for Dark Souls, I gave a go this week and ended up really getting into it… until I realised I’m not tough enough for that either. So with tail between legs I’ve skulked off back to to see what the Rise of Iron has in store for a lowly Hunter…”
Fred: “I never got around to ‘s Burial At Sea DLC first time around, so I booted up the PS4 remaster to see what I missed. Bah – turns out it’s locked until you finish the campaign! The backlog grows!”
Gillen: “I’ve been on a streak of franchise replay marathons since summer. My current run? Resident Evil. I’m actually battling through at the moment, the one title in the main cannon I never finished first time round. Right now I’m puzzling how a near-death Rebecca and Billy are going to survive the penultimate Mimicry Marcus with zero herbs and minimal ammo. I’m unwilling to ghost past and haven’t the knife skills to best him in a close encounter. Game plan for the weekend: swearing repeatedly while trying not to give in to the temptation of reverting to an earlier save.”
