What We Played #601 – Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Showgunners & Park Beyond

thesixthaxis.com:

Just when you’ve waited ages for a bank holiday, along come two in a row! It’s fair to say that all this extra time on holiday has made for a lovely increase in gaming time, and I’ve spent it across a host of different genres and titles.

Primarily, I put a chunk of time into Redfall, and while I’m not quite ready to bung a score on it, I’ve definitely been having more fun, even if the AI is as dumb as a bag of spanners. Besides that I checked out Park Beyond for the latest park building action, and I got closer to the end of Fallen Order while remaining strong and not buying its sequel until I’ve truly finished with its forebear. I also spent a good bit of time with my head in a fancy new PSVR2 shaped hat, and it is as impressive as you’d hope.

Gamoc has not been as restrained with Star Wars in mind. Yes, Slay the Spire has been his main gaming delight of the past week – “It’s beyond addictive” – but he also made some trades to grab Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, not realising that he was doing this on the pun-laden Star Wars day that is May the 4th.

Also playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this week has been Nick P, but he did tear himself away from it to review Showgunners as well, finding a really surprising XCOM-like game.

Letting his completionist streak get the best of him, Aran finished Midnight Suns after maximising all but one of the character friendships along the way – “A really fun game and the sequel teaser at the end has me excited for where the story would go next,” he says, though after the game’s poor sales figures, it feels like that teaser will be left dangling. He also played Astronaut The Best for a preview that you’ll see soon!

Nic B played Marvel Snap and Pokémon Go, and some other secret things he can’t tell
