What We Played #618 Armored Core VI, Baldur’s Gate 3 & New Zealand Story

As the school holidays wind to a close, and those heady weeks of FIFA games and lengthy RPG sessions fade into memory, my household has had one last gaming hurrah. I’ve been making my way through all of the things I saw at Gamescom, and carried on with some of them when I got home. Wayfinder has become the daily MMO hit, and I’ve been playing with my son in his first true stint of online gaming. Alongside that I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m probably going to finish up just as the PS5 version appears.

Meanwhile, Gareth has been playing It Takes Two, Sniper Elite 5, and No Man’s Sky. He told us, “I did a trench run in NMS and, typical for the game, it got dull halfway through.”

Nic B has played Sea of Stars, calling it “A fun romp through old school, turn-based RPG nostalgia.” He continued, “It’s a great entry for the genre, and it does a lot of things well, but it’s ultimately let down by combat being a little too stale.”

Reuben has played the same things as last week, so Pokémon Unite and Houseflipper. That said, he’s been dropping into FFXIV recently to get the various events done.

Aran finished Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew saying, “It’s a really good stealth strategy game, and it is a shame it will be Mimimi’s last game. Also finished XIII despite the buggy mess it was at times.”

Jason played Armored Core 6, which you can read all about in his review. He also told us, “I also played through the rather short new story quest in Honkai Star
