What We Played #631 Last Train Home, Forza Motorsport & Like a Dragon: Ishin

It’s bitterly cold. You can forget playing your Switch outside, and Monster Hunter Now is basically Dark Souls for your extremities, so isn’t it a lot more sensible to stay inside? I’ve been playing the new Avatar for review – not the bald one, the blue one – as well as exploring a world of racing games, hopping back to GRID and Need for Speed Most Wanted on Steam Deck, while also enjoying the new Forza Motorsport. I also finished my run-through of Gravity Rush Remastered, and I enjoyed it even more on the big screen than I did back on the Vita.

First up this week, Aran played Worldless for review, saying, “I found it pretty enjoyable though it could do with a couple of improvements, like its minimap. I’ve also gone back to Yakuza Like A Dragon and am a couple of chapters off the end of it. Hopefully, I’ll be done by Christmas.” Good luck with that!

Jason has been playing Sonic Frontiers, “which is an absolute blast. It’s a really cool take on Sonic, the traversal abilities are really fluid, there are some surprisingly challenging platforming sections, and boss fights are proper spectacles (it also has excellent boss music featuring the Sleeping with Sirens singer). It’s just pure fun, and I find myself preferring it to Tears of the Kingdom.” He’s also on our Dragon Quest Monsters review – look for that next week.

Nic B has had a hands-on with the new content coming in Monster Hunter Now and told us, “It’s pretty exciting stuff. Beyond that, just Alan Wake 2 when I can find the time for games!” Sadly, Nick P has been playing the game of being very ill! And mostly squeezing in FF16. He also tried Chucky in DBD and got into the private Alpha for Suicide Squad which he’ll be trying over the weekend.

Miguel has been in Japan! As
