What We Played – Star Wars Outlaws, Space Marine 2 and Astro Bot
thesixthaxis.comIt’s been a hell of a gaming week, with some actual bangers arriving to brighten up a dreary start to September. I’ve been reviewing Space Marine 2, and loved its rendition of Warhammer 40,000’s universe, and now I’m jumping into Age of Mythology: Retold, The Plucky Squire, Astro Bot and Star Wars Outlaws.

Teaming up with about seven other players to take down a giant flying storm dragon was awesome!”
Steve started the week off strong by finishing the “entertaining” Dungeons of Hinterberg before moving on to Creatures of Ava in the ‘what’s interesting on Game Pass’ style. He’s continued to bung a lot into one week though, continuing, “Alongside that I have just started what will be a very long-running playthrough of the Age of Mythology: Retold which is super nostalgic as I
