Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? – Issue 380

The busy E3 2023 weekend is upon us, but unlike in past years there are no late nights and no Sony, so just how busy remains up for debate. We’re confident we will see some PS5 games over the next couple of days, and we really can’t ask for more than that, can we?

I’ll be trying to sneak some Guilty Gear Strive in between E3 showcases this weekend. I’m just hoping that they’re actually entertaining enough to pull my attention away from what is easily the best looking fighting game ever made. Phwoar!

Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor

My backlog is burning a hole in the back of my mind, with several unfinished and untouched games yearning for my attention. However, I’d be lying if I said I’m playing anything other than Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart this weekend. It has to be done, right? And those games aren’t going anywhere. I’ll get to them. Right? Yeah, I’ll get to them. It’s okay.

Liam Croft, Assistant Editor

When I’m not watching E3 2023 livestreams or a Euro 2023 football match, I’ll be digging into Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. It’s great so far!

I should move to Ireland, because my excitement is doublin’/Dublin! First, the buzz is building as I continue my Insomniac Games celebration month with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which is my most anticipated PlayStation game since The Last of Us: Part II. Second, I’m going to soak up every announcement posted on Push Square this weekend, like an over-caffeinated E3 news sponge.

That’s everything we’re playing this weekend, then, but what about the rest of you? You know the drill by now, so let us know in the comments section below.
