Your Achievements
- Andrewww is starting to come to the conclusion that PSVR 2 doesn’t work for him, for some reason – hopefully his eyes can gradually adapt to it better? – so has switched back to more flatscreen games to finish the story of Spider-Man, play some Eden, and dip into bits of Flat Heroes, FIFA, and Man of Medan.
Right. That’s all for this week, so enjoy your weekend and we’ll see you again soon!
