Your Gaming & Achievements
Here’s what you in our community have been up to this week:
- TSBonyman couldn’t find anything to scratch the itch, so he’s playing Elden Ring again with a new character.
- And Andrewww has lured into Adr1ft and Last Stop before their departure from Plus. And he’s also given Dark Souls 2 a go for the first time, but it pales to the Demon’s Souls remake.
That’s the round up for this week. We’ll be back next week for more gaming news and more. See you then!
