What We Played #141: Octodad, Eryi’s Action & Persona 4 Golden

My own gaming this week is all about Borderlands 2 and Warframe again, a situation that I suspect will continue for some time to come. I keep wondering about playing other games but with my limited time available for gaming and the amount of enjoyment I’m getting from those two I just can’t see anything else getting a look in.

After noticing that some of his friends had “literally spent days playing it” Blair decided to give The Binding of Isaac a go. “At first, I thought it was a bit like Zelda but it’s not really at all, aside from the dungeon room layout and using keys/bombs. It’s actually really good and fun to play through, I’m not usually a fan of permanent death but in this case it really adds to the game.”

He also played Super Smash Bros. Brawl at the weekend “which is still one of the most fun and competitive fighting games out there”. He adds that he could, and has, played it for days on end and still absolutely loves it.

As for Stefan…

Who’s that man with the three piece suit?
Makin’ a doll with a log and fruit
Who’s that man with the eight strong legs?
Tried to make me breakfast but he broke my eggs

Octoda-aa-ad – nobody suspects a thing
Octoda-aa-ad – he’s got a good thing going

Killzone: Shadow Fall is still consuming much of Tuffcub’s gaming time while Resogun’s challenge has finally fallen to his twitching thumbs and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag continues to provide some enjoyment. There’s even been time for some Dynasty Warriors on his PS Vita though he says: “no idea what I’m doing in that game but it’s fun!”

All Aran’s found time for is Eryi’s Action, his thoughts will appear on this very site next week. As a teaser, he says “no game has made [him] swear so much in such a short space of time”.

And lastly we arrive at Dom to find him “ploughing through Persona 4 Golden on Vita, which has to have one of the longest introductions ever as all I did for the first hour and a half was press X to cycle through speech!” He’s got about six hours in now and confidently suggests that the game has finally got going.

I’ve also completed Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron which was great, with my time spent with it increased by my son loving the bit with Grimlock (proud dad moment of the day was him learning the word Dinobots!). He’s also really enjoyed the Playroom on PS4, with the Alien Buddy DLC proving a hit as you just bash everything, along with the ‘baby robots’ that fire out of your pad.

That’s it from us this week so all that remains is to ask what you’ve been playing…
