Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Playing

Still playing Star Wars Outlaws.

Currently exploring Akiva and unlocking it's many mysteries.

I'm really enjoying this, it's easily the best Star Wars game I have played. Space Combat took me a while to figure out but it has now clicked. You just need to figure out which combat options you want and upgrade the defences.

 

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (PS5) - Playing

It's Ramdan so I've not had much time to play it

 

2026 Gaming Resolutions

1. Purchase no more physical games until I have reduced my backlog to 3 titles (currently at 13!).

Still intact, no further changes

 

2. I did well in 2025 and avoided buying the PS5 Pro and Switch 2, I need to keep that going in 2026, no new hardware purchases except if required PS5 controllers. 

Still Intact! Nothing purchased, I have been tempted by pre-owned Steam Decks.

 

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!

Still intact, no new games purchased, the kids used up some my PSN credit to purchase some Resident Evil games.
 

4. I did really well this year with FOMO, I did not go back to Fortnite even with the Simpsons map or the BTTF skins, I also avoided purchasing Arc Raiders. I don't have the free time for these type of games. Need to avoid the hype and just play what I already own.

Still intact, no FOMO

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (PS5) - Completed

Believe the hype!

Just tick off the checklist below and go and play.

1. Do you enjoy turn-based action RPGs like the old school Final Fantasy games?

2. Do you enjoy a story with a great cast of characters?

3. Do you enjoy a lovely soundtrack and gourgeus graphics?

It also has waterfalls!

Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Playing

Sticking with the physical backlog time to enjoy some science fiction action with Star Wars Outlaws.

You play as Kay Vess a young theif/scoundrel who has to escape her home planet after a heist mission goes wrong, with her companion Nix she escapes and lands on Tosharra a planet covered in windswept plains & canyons.

You can explore the planet on your speeder and find treasure, interact with one of the many factions including the Imperials to unlock contracts & missions. You also have the Trailblazer ship to explore outerspace & begin your adventure!

Yes, it has waterfalls!

 

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (PS5) - Playing

The Claptrap Boys are back! with a weekly PMG enjoying another Gearbox game in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands which is set in a fantasy-themed tabletop world. It plays just as you expect, you get lots of missions and lots of loot!

I've gone with the Spore Warden class which also has a toxic mushroom companion that helps attacks nearby enemies.

It's good to be back playing with the crew and thankfully everything worked smoothly with party chat! 

The game also has waterfalls! 

 

2026 Gaming Resolutions

1. Purchase no more physical games until I have reduced my backlog to 3 titles (currently at 13!).

Still intact reduced down to 11 (Started Star Wars Outlaws/Tiny Tina Wonderlands).

 

2. I did well in 2025 and avoided buying the PS5 Pro and Switch 2, I need to keep that going in 2026, no new hardware purchases except if required PS5 controllers.

Still intact, nothing purchased.

 

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 will renew PS+ at the essentials tier in November, I don't need the extra tier it just adds more titles to my backlog!

Still intact, no new games purchased, I spent £13.99 from the exsisting PSN credit on Star Wars Outlaws season pass.

 

4. I did really well this year with FOMO, I did not go back to Fortnite even with the Simpsons map or the BTTF skins, I also avoided purchasing Arc Raiders. I don't have the free time for these type of games. Need to avoid the hype and just play what I already own.

Still intact, I have been tempted by ARC Raiders but thus far have managed to avoid being weak!
