With no Six Nations, Formula 1 or Formula E this weekend, I’m a bit of a loss of what to do. Perhaps I’ll jump into The Division 2’s free Open Beta this weekend? I never played the first game, but I might see if I can convince some friends to download it and give it a whirl.

This Week’s Features
With a fairly busy week for the reviews, there wasn’t much space for the previews.
Nic explored the open world of One Piece: World Seeker, which could be a major milestone not just for the series, but anime games in general he writes. Maybe…
Meanwhile, Tef had a look at Judgement, a fully dubbed spin-off from the Yakuza series. Here, you take on the role of a private investigator, searching your environment for clues and interrogating suspects on the hunt for truth.
Last up, What We Played featured Anthem, Trials Rising & PSVR.
