What We Played #646 – Dragon’s Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin & Alone in the Dark
thesixthaxis.comAnother hectic week is in the bag, and I’ve been playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 so I could collect the video footage for our review and obviously not for any kind of enjoyment. It is definitely very, very fun though, even if you have to look out for the odd disappearing Pawn on PS5.

Ade has masochistically continued to enjoy Skull and Bones, claiming that “there has been some terrific new PVP and leaderboard features added in the latest update.” He’s also been playing Valiant Hearts 2, “which is proving to be just as wonderful as the original.”
The third big game of the week comes in the form of Alone in the
