What We Played – Black Ops 6, The Smurfs – Dreams & Monster Hunter Wilds

This last week has whizzed by, and perhaps some of that was down to the joy I found in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. It’s a true sequel to Monster Hunter Worlds, and while I’m very sad to see the Palamutes and Wirebugs of Monster Hunter Rise head off into the sunset, I’m more than happy with what Capcom are serving up! Other than that, there’s been more Metaphor ReFantazio, a heap of Empire of the Ants and a sniff of F1 24.

Checking in with the team, Gamoc has played Diablo IV’s latest expansion, Phasmophobia, Baldur’s Gate 3, and D&D. Meanwhile, Ade is very late to the party but he picked up Helldivers 2 the other day and sayd, “OH MY GOOD GRIEF WHAT A GAME! The most fun I’ve had with an online multiplayer in years. Helldivers 2 has shot it’s way straight into GOTY position for me!” So, I think he liked it.

Helldivers 2 Automatons

It’s been a bad week for Aran as he’s been suffering with illness this week – hope you get better soon mate! Tuffcub has continued with his standard dose of Destiny 2 and a little Beat Saber.

Steve has played through The Smurfs – Dreams and Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered for review, both of which “were enjoyable in very different ways”. He continues, “I have got another highly anticipated horror game on the go for review next week so that’ll be my main focus. Other than that I have been polishing off the last few remaining Steam Next Fest demos and have put together a recommendation list.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Omnimovement

Then we’re onto Jim, who’s week has almost exclusively been dedicated to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. He absolutely loved it, saying, “It’s my favourite COD since Black Ops 2 and manages to deliver on all fronts though the acrobatic omnidirectional movement takes some getting used to.”

And finally, Tef snuck in a few matches of Black Ops 6 as well, but hasn’t started the campaign yet. Instead, this week he quickly checked out the spooky Lego Dark Space level in Fortnite, got to share some thoughts about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and put together a compare ’em up piece for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

What about you? What have you played?
