Here’s what you in our community have been up to this week:
- Andrewww has been enjoying Ghostwire:Tokyo and Hotshot Racing – finding that his daughter is a natural behind the wheel!
- And we wish MrYd’s a speedy recovery after a cycling accident, but it means he’s had time for some more relaxed gaming. That’s meant Diablo 4, Disgaea 7, AC Mirage, giving The Finals a quick go, and the clutch of new PS+ monthly games – “Powerwash Simulator is weirdly relaxing. The Lego racing game is a bit meh so far, and Sable is clearly horribly broken performance-wise.”
Have a good weekend and I’ll catch you again soon!
