We did it, folks! We’ve made it to another weekend and this time there’s a pretty major release<\/a> to be getting stuck into. You can probably guess what most of us are playing this time around, but we’ve shared our plans with you below regardless. As always, we’d love for you to join in the fun and leave your own entries in our comment and poll sections below. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

This weekend will see a massive battle of wits take place between myself and my five-year-old son with regards to who gets the most time on our Switch. I\u2019m all over Astral Chain<\/a><\/strong> right now, really enjoying everything about it, chopping and changing my Legion abilities to see what works best for my crazy offensive style of play. On the other hand, he\u2019s deep in Rayman Legends<\/a><\/strong> territory and loving every second of the music levels. I\u2019d like to think I\u2019ll be able to come out on top in this one, I mean he is only five after all, but kids they\u2026find a way.

Last weekend I decided to replay a game I simply cannot quit – Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen<\/a><\/strong>. Much like Skyrim<\/a><\/strong> and The Witcher 3<\/a><\/strong>, it’s one of those action-RPGs that’s so good I can’t help but go back to it, even with my pile of shame looking at me with disgust. But here I am, playing with a Fighter build, running around Grand Soren, kicking goblins off cliffs and climbing onto the back of a cyclops like it’s a typical day.<\/p>\n

I may have also sworn the house down when a Griffin came out of nowhere and killed my squad of pawns when I was nearing the of a tough mission, but at least my kids were asleep at the time. The same can’t be said for our neighbours though…<\/p>\n
