Have all the ones I need on Switch/Vita/ipad. Phew!

Less than £12 in the sale made it the cheapest Mario branded game over Christmas. I'm not surprised. All those new Switch owners after new games...

I've been so good so far this year avoiding the sales but I'm getting weaker. Tempted by so much.
That said, I'll spend my time on Children of Morta which I've almost hit 20 hours on. Loving the stories of the Bergsons.

Children of Morta, Diablo 3 seasons, and the usual run based stuff.

Picked this up last week when I noticed it was free. I'd previously bought Steredenn.

@Gs69 not a lot. I'm not big on shooters and I've lost access since my PS+ expired.

Vita for me. All this games of the decade talk has me wanting to play through Fez again.

WHAT. A. GAME.

I'll play some Spelunky too while I'm at it.

Glad it's turned out well. Had the 360 version of Black Flag but barely touched it. Handheld AC incoming!

Just need the major joycon issues resolved now.

Been on sale a few times but nowhere near this much discount. Probably time to finally check it out...

I'll be playing Rocket League when I fail to make a decision of what story based game to play.

My 128 needs constant management, so the 200 looks appealing.

@Moistnado not sure what you mean. UK prices are inclusive of VAT, you don’t need to add it on top like you do in the US.

I’m desperate to see the games on sale! Check back later? Argh!

Super! I’ve got £60 worth of eshop credit I picked up from cd keys for £52 - was going to buy some games from the current sale but now I’ll hold off

@Eel I’ve clearly missed that one then!

Next article will be on the Metacritic review bombing. I have no interest in the game itself, I just find the fallout fascinating.

My word, they’re all awful. I’ll abstain from a vote this week.

The usual - Slay the spire, Isaac, Rocket League... But I’m also in the mood for getting back to things I’ve started and actually finish them

Give me a V! Now give me five more Vs!

What have you got? One of my favourite ever 2D platformers. Two hours and you're done too.

@CTmatic only ever seems to be tank and support though

Gamers giving gamers a bad name 2019 edition

If this was leading up to an announcement they'd better get on with it. If not?

... October will last forever 😱

Sooner than I'd hoped actually. Sounds right up my alley.

I love a good grind but only when the mechanics click for me. Doesn't sound like one for me...

If it's not a decent port, the PS4 version should be somewhat cheaper by then so I'll grab that instead.

I finished Celeste on the week - bloody wonderful. Now need to go back to something else I've started but not finished whilst also playing some Rocket League, Overwatch and Witcher 3

Youngest loves the first. This is a no brainer.

I can’t justify paying for ps+ and switch online, so this is perfect to go with Tetris, Splatoon, Rocket League and MK8.

We’re a one tv household so the switch has essentially taken over from the PS4 as my primary console anyway. At least until my daughters are in bed anyway (which is getting late these days)

I played on the loo. Try telling me now that it’s hardly the best way to play! #tmi

@Skalgrim cheers! I was watching a Kotaku video and they were struggling against the AI!

@Skalgrim How's the online population?

Will pick it up. More for my youngest than for me - she's on NG+ on the first one; I've literally just started it.

Metro 2033 was easily one of my favourites of last gen. Sure, the combat was clunky but the rest of the game was incredible. I wouldn't argue that it's a better game than Bioshock, but I certainly preferred it.

@JEM I added mine to that so now it needs 2

Did I completely miss my GOTY Slay the Spire? It's not there is it?

Ori and the goose were sufficient for me. Still don’t see the appeal of Links Awakening after a game like BotW (I may be old but my first Nintendo console was the DS. I get nostalgic about Penny Racers and the ZX Spectrum not old Nintendo games)

Nothing puts me off a game more than gratuitous gore

@Whalehome I thought that date sounded familiar...

Finished FE in the week so now I can get stuck in to Astral Chain. So what did I play last night?

More Rocket League and Slay the Spire. Naturally.

Preloaded for tomorrow.

Ghost Lion vs Dave Lee Roth

Why not. Hack & Slash combat, Zelda-like dungeons, great loot... What's not to like?

Had to go back to a previous save in FE after a monumental c0ck up. Starting to feel like the end can't come soon enough so I can get stuck into Astral Chain.

UGG (honk) here and there.

Slay the Spire. Well over 50 hours now and my goty. Probably an all time favourite now too.

Been playing it with a permanent smile on my face

Honk! Probably Sayonara Wild Hearts too. Zero interest in anything else this week. I’ve had my fill of realistic racers over the years so no Grid, and Zelda doesn’t appeal at all (though I love the art style).

To buy Vesperia or to save the funds for x, y or z? Tempted, but so much coming out now I'm not sure I can justify it.

40 hours in on FE now. Probably still got a fair way to go! Some Slay the Spire too (my goty so far).

Very very tempted to pick up Divinity, but Witcher 3 is not far off.

@k8sMum sorry for your loss. Video games can be a great distraction at difficult times

Never going to hit it but yes, bothers me. Bothers me it only does five hour chunks too.
