What We Played #253: Uncharted 4, Stellaris & Battleborn

It’s pretty obvious what most of us have been playing, and in turn what most of you have been playing. Uncharted 4 came out on Tuesday and it’s easily one of, if not the most highly anticipated game of the year. It helps that it’s had some cracking reviews and deserves them.

So while I spent an unhealthy amount of time playing Stellaris over the weekend to get our review done for Paradox Interactive’s space grand strategy game, I also made sure to find time to finish Uncharted 4 and enjoy the rollercoaster ride it takes you on. It is, to put it simply, a fantastic way of wrapping up the series, but with just enough rope left for the single player DLC that’s been promised.

Tuffcub’s gaming time was brief, and his report on it equally so. Bubble Bobble, Alienation and Uncharted 4 are what he’s been playing. Meanwhile, Miguel spent the whole weekend with Dark Souls 3 and Overwatch, thoroughly enjoying both of them.

Dom’s life has been consumed with Fire Emblem Fates for the last few weeks. That’s he’s still without internet had some part in this, and so did his determination to never let anyone die, but he did have to focus and get the second of our three reviews of the game’s three pronged approach posted. He also finished Ratchet & Clank and managed to make a start on Uncharted 4, “which thus far is amazing,” he said.

In addition to reviewing Battleborn over the weekend, Dave finished Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, splurged on getting Enter the Gungeon – dying in a rather tame and disappointing fashion on his first attempt – and got going with Uncharted. Not the latest game, but the very first one as he starts his Uncharted journey for the very first time. He says that “The PS4 version in particular looks great with its remaster!”

Finally, Jim’s week has been comprised of three games. He also played Battleborn, as he and I both played alongside Dave for his review, but while he came to appreciate what Gearbox were trying to do, he found the game wasn’t for him. Then, with the Blood and Wine expansion out at the end of the month, he hopped back into The Witcher 3 to prepare and polish off that game’s platinum trophy.

Finally, having completed the story last week, he’s been eager to hop into Uncharted 4’s multiplayer, finding it to be “a remarkable addition to what is perhaps the best game of this generation.”

How about you, though? What have you been playing? Have you finished Uncharted 4 already and found your way to its multiplayer?

  1. The usual Vita backlog on the commute for me including rediscovering Dragons Crown. Bit of Table Top Racing on the PS4 & just downloaded the bundle deal on Pacman, Galaga and Dig Dug for some nostalgia. Oh and grinding away at Gems of War still need the level 50 and 100 trophies.
