Something for the Weekend – 17/08/24
We’re really hurtling our way through the summer months, and Gamescom is now almost upon us, with the hordes of gamers and fans set to descend on Cologne next week.
Dom and I will be out there, going hands on with upcoming games, speaking to their creators, trying to churn out previews and, come the nighttime hours, demanding that bar staff serve Kölsch in larger glasses.
But what about the week that’s been? Let’s round up this week’s gaming news.
Black Myth: Wukong was the biggest embargo drop of the week, but did it live up to the hype and expectation?
Dom also dished out a gaming accessory review:
Beyond the reviews, I dipped a toe back into VR with the PSVR 2 PC Adapter, and with Sony’s first party investment in the platform seemingly non-existent, this feels like the future of the headset. Also, I got to finally play Half-Life: Alyx.
Speaking of older games that I’m playing for the first time, I also got to sample the opening few hours of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, which is a much bigger deal than its title would suggest.
And Dom played the Early Access release Cataclismo, which is a really intriguing fusion of construction and defence.
Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured Kunitsu-Gami, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and Black Myth: Wukong.
