July 2025 – It’s too hot to play video games!

Posted on 09/07/2025 Written by gospvg

Play

Ghostwire Tokyo (PS5)

You can fight the supernatural with Wind, Water or Fire attacks, but I like the stealth approach with the bow. It does have mild jump scares, but overall, it's fun to explore Tokyo. I also like there are lots of pets in the game.

Like A Dragon Ishin (PS5) (Completed)

I enjoyed this very much; always a good feeling playing a RGG game, and the Wild Dancer style is so much fun.
 
Balatro (PS5) (Completed)
 
I'm done with this, I've completed as many decks as I can It's an addictive game, and I've spent enough hours with it already. 
 
Backlog

Shopping

Added more purchases to my backlog! in Atomfall, Like A Dragon Pirate Yakuza, Tiny Tina Wonderlands & Claire Obscur.

Want

I enjoyed the many not E3 showcases and added more games to my wishlist.

Bin

I need to stop buying more games, although I am at least playing on a regular basis.

June 2025 – I completed two games in a month!

Posted on 04/06/2025 Written by gospvg

Play

Like A Dragon Ishin (PS5)

I did not know this was a remake of a 2014 PS3 title, I'm enjoying the new setting and the game play is the familiar yakuza style.

As always I am distracted by the side content, this time fishing & gardening. 

Balatro (PS5)

The addiction is real, I've completed the first few decks but trying to manage the digital crack and have left it alone to enjoy Ishin.

Robocop Rogue City (PS5) - COMPLETED

I enjoy this janky action shooter and even went and got the last few trophies for the platinum.

 

Road 96 (PS5) - COMPLETED

Completing two games in a month! A miracle I know!

This is what happens when you avoid huge open world games, Road 96 is a procedural indie game that has you helping teenagers escape from a politically charged country.

Backlog

Shopping

Purchased two physical games in System Shock & Star Wars Outlaws.

Want

I'm not interested in the Switch 2 but looking forward to the many Not E3 showcases this month.

Bin

Nothing, the bin is empty

May 2025 – Finally completed Cyberpunk 2077!

Posted on 02/05/2025 Written by gospvg

Play

Phantom Liberty (PS5)

I completed Phantom Liberty and finally waved goodbye to Cyberpunk 2077. After 220 hours of gaming it was finally time to move on from Night City.

Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe (PS5)

I need to take a break from long timesink gaming and returned back to the indie scene and enjoyed and completed The Stanley Parable.

 

Robocop Rogue City (PS5)

Next up I recently started Robocop Rogue City which has an old school shooter feel including janky voice acting & character animation.


Backlog

Shopping

Nothing purchased in April, now that I have finished Cyberpunk I can focus on my backlog and I'm specifically looking at games that can be completed in less than 50 hours. I need to try and avoid timesink games.

 

Want

Great reviews for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and I hope to enjoy this at some point during the year.

Maybe Oblivion which was shadow dropped, I have never played this game. Skyrim is my only elder scrolls game.

PS+ games for May have been announced and I'm looking forward to playing Balatro. What did I just say about timesinks?

Bin

Games coming off PS Plus subscription service, I wish all additions had at least a year or they clearly show when they are leaving the service so you can decide to start playing or not.

April 2025 – I have finally finished Cyberpunk 2077, well sort of!

Posted on 07/04/2025 Written by gospvg

Play

Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5) 

After exploring every nook and cranny of Night City & enjoying the multiple different endings. I've finally completed Cyberpunk 2077 and got the platinum.

Except ...

Phantom Liberty (PS5)

I have gone straight into playing the the Phantom Liberty DLC.

One annoyance I did have with the game is in place it it very dark and there is no brightness setting or torches in the future?!

Backlog

Shopping

£23 spent on a pre-owned Metaphor ReFantazio

PlayStation Plus (To Play)

Yet another game I want to play in Robocop was added.

Want

I have no interest in the Switch 2 but interesting to see the RRP of games increasing with Mario Kart World (the obvious spiritual successor to Burnout Paradise)

Bin

Lack of time to gaming, I'm always too busy doing something else
