I'm trying out WoW retail again since I get Dragonflight for free now that War Within is out.

 

It's really good. I'm impressed. I went ahead and unlocked the Dark Iron Dwarves, and the Mecha Gnomes. Those unlocks were pretty cool little quest chains.

I've decided to go back and knock off something from the backlog so I'm finally playing Tales of Zestiria (PC), I've always been a fan of the Tales series since it's old 2D battle system days, but man, so much backtracking to do, you can really tell where they've padded the game to make it last longer.

Before this I finished Have a Nice Death (PC via Game Pass), nice little rouge like metroidvania.  It's good to have these smaller games between the big 60hr+ ones IMO.

After finishing ToZ, I'm back into the backlog and finally playing The Division.  It's typical ubisoft open world map spam and I really wish you could have a fully offline mode but no.   Another thing that's weird and something you'd think games like this could do, but maybe because of the online shared world nature they can't?  You'd think as you clear more areas and progress the story you'd see a gradual change in the world, with the hostiles being pushed back and things looking a bit better, but nope.   It's still just "frozen in time",  just a shame.   Another quirk is that the damn enemies are bullet sponges, it's kind of annoying.

I have trouble playing more than one game at a time, but this may change when my PS5 Pro arrives as I've purchased Assassins Creed Mirage, Spiderman 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Metro Exodus, Jedi Survivor and Last of US 2(upgrade) in the sales for £85 so it is only right I give them all a good test on the new hardware!

Except of Mirage - which I played in bit over time…

I got involved in other games and played them all continuously until I finished - maybe played some narrative adventures at the same time with little action 

Only one I did not like was TLOU2 and even then I enjoyed at least some of it a lot

 

enjoy your pro. As I have ps5 already no point to upgrade by otherwise I would have loved to play Jedi, Hogwards and Spiderman 2 from scratch on the Pro

I've got a PS5 already and from what I've seen online the Pro should give me alot of improvements as I have the right kind of TV, the only downside to me is the price! But I caved after initially telling myself I have to be crazy to buy this. My thinking is if a PC gamer upgraded their GPU then there is no reason why I can't buy the Pro as I only game on one platform.

Guys, my gaming PC is dead, while I normally play on PS5, I am now travelling and i am looking for great FREE games on Steam to play on my laptop (no dedicated video card)

AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics   1.80 GHz   16.0 GB (13.8 GB usable) SSD

ANY ADVICE???

Got HL2 Anniversary and Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog already :)

Ok, this is not exactly what you asked for but its good old school gaming. You will have to install the epic game store and on it is the Castlevania Anniversary Collection for free till the 21st. It has the following games:

Castlevania
Castlevania II Simon's Quest
Castlevania III Dracula's Curse
Super Castlevania IV
Castlevania The Adventure
Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge
Castlevania Bloodlines
Kid Dracula (never released in English before)
History of Castlevania - Book of the Crescent Moon

I am running it on a i5 12th gen with 16 GB ram and Iris XE integrated graphics. The system requirements are VERY  low and installed it. It plays fine. 

You can check with can you run it website.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
