May Update – In the words of MC Hammer "That’s word, we Prey"

Posted on Written by

Prey (PS5) 

The Talos space station has many areas to explore from your opening Simulation Lab to the central lobby area that leads off to many areas including Psychotronics, Hardware Labs & the main lift that takes you to the Arboretum. Each area is uniquely designed and have lots of hidden secrets to find.

I have now unlocked quite a few neuromods and stuck with human skills only to ensure I can take my trusty turrets with me when I explore.

Mimics are now the least of my worries and the Nightmare, Poltergeist & Weavers are far more challenging!

 

Animal Busters (Android)

Not sure how I got into playing this?! It is an idle game where you have gacha tickets to get Animal Busters and slowly begin their progression with upgrades, weapons and armour. There is a main campaign to play, dungeon challenges & a PvP arena mode.

Rogue Legend (Android)

Throw a dice to advance your hero along the map, when you level up select a skill from Fire, Ice, Thunder or Poison. Battle monsters to gain coins to spend in the shop to unlock more skills. You get the idea lots of skills, lots of fights and then eventually you will die. It's the standard formula used by most roguelikes and much easier to play on mobile when I have ten minutes free to do a run.


2026 Gaming Resolutions Update

1. Purchase no more physical games, yes this resolution is even tougher now!

So far so good, I have not purchased any more physical games.


2. Focus on PS+ Extra Backlog (21 Games)

Hopefully I am close to completing Prey and then I will play some shorter indie tiles in Season, Exit 8 & A Space for the Unbound.


3. No more PSN Credit!

I have done well to ignore the Days of Play sale & also have not purchase any additional credit.


Backlog

PS+ Extra (22) - Added The Thamaturge (a turn-based isometric RPG)

Digital Games (46) - No further additions

PS+ Monthly (13) - No further additions this month PS+ selection is pretty poor, thank god!

Physical Games (12) - No change, nothing added or removed.

Total = 93 Games


Shopping

Nothing really, just the lack of time for gaming! 

I could probably pin this sentence for the whole year!

Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Completed

Well would you look at that! I have completed another game!

I started this back at the end of January, it's a very good game. Possibly the best Star Wars game made so far, exploring the open world and the many cities bustling with life and idle conversations.

 

I completed the main story but I will go back to enjoy the DLC content

Prey (PS5) 

This game has been on my backlog for a while, I did start it a few years ago but turned it off at the first mimic jump scare! I'm a wimp!

 

I have turned down the difficulty to make the game easier to play for my "old-school" reactions but it does not adjust the fear factor!

I love the sci-fi setting, you have a small area to explore and metroidvania like not everything is unlocked so you need to figure out passwords or find keycards.

Watch out for the mimics! 

2026 Gaming Resolutions Update
I am updating my resolutions 

1. Purchase no more physical games, yes this resolution is even tougher now!

I just need to ignore all sales & delete the HOT UK Deals app!


2. The hardware challenge was too easy, I have no intention of buying any new consoles. so let's focus on my gaming backlog especially the PS+ Extra which expires end of December and I planned to renew at only the essentials tier.

Currently I have 21 games on my PS+ Extra backlog, some of these are quite short but I am never going to complete all 21 before December so let's go with completing at least 10 of these titles! 


3. I have £80 on PSN credit and this all I can use until I reduce my digital backlog to 10 titles (either by playing or dropping, currently at 35 games). No more shopto top up codes!

I am going to stick with this the current balance left is £46 & this is all I can spend for 2026. However I don't plan on buying anything and looking at the physical games I own, none of them have any DLC content. So I should be able to use some of this credit to pay for my PS+ Essentials renewal in December

4. The FOMO challenge again was too easy, I don't really care enough and will just play what I want instead of what is the flavour of the month. So I am deleting this resolution and just sticking with the three above.


Backlog

PS+ Extra (21) - I have until the end of December to crack through as many of these as possible! Good luck!

Digital Games (46) - Added both Star Wars DLC which were not included and Graveyard Keeper (I did not purchase it was free).

PS+ Monthly (13) - Reduced by 6, I've had a bit of a clearout and remove games I have no intention of playing, truthfully I must of done this a while ago because I have no idea what games I deleted!

Physical Games (12) - No change, nothing added or removed.

Total = 92 Games

FALSE ALARM - I do have access to a gaming PC but sorry I'll just stick to PS5 gaming for now. So no Steam backlog list.
