Your Achievements
Now then, what have you all been playing?
- Andrewww’s had a stressful week, but thankfully found some time for some gaming with Horizon Forbidden West. Unfortunately, that included the anxiety inducing size of the game, so after 30 hours in, he’s only 33% completed, and it’s leaving PS Plus soon!
- And MrYd has played mostly Diablo 4 and Balatro of late, before this week’s appearance of Vampire Survivors on PlayStation, which has been a lot of fun so far. Oh, and he met Sir Ian Livingstone of Fighting Fantasy fame at work!
That’s the round up for this week. Keep dry and warm, Keep your eyes peeled for everything we’ll be churning out over the next few days and weeks!
