What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 520 | Push Square

Just yesterday, we brought you word of a commemorative cape being issued to all Helldivers 2 players in honour of the tragic loss and subsequent triumphant liberation of the Automaton-infested meme world, Malevelon Creek. But there's a darker side to this all-too-human story of victory, and what was supposed to be a symbol of remembrance has become a flashpoint for a militant faction in the community; veterans of Malevelon Creek, dubbed «Creekers», are being targeted by cowardly comrades for wearing the Fallen Heroe's Vengeance cape into battle.

I am now at the last point of no return in Final Fantasy XVI, believing to be close to the end. I'm level 50 with all monster contracts and side quests completed. Now the dilemma is of course: do I go for the DLC while I still can? Maybe some people here with tips. I'm in the middle of the move, so going quite slow, so the timing might be perfect for me, first beating the first DLC and then immediately the second one.

Dragon's Dogma 2 dropped to impressively high review scores last month, earning Capcom yet another hit with critics — but now that it's been out for a little while, we want to know what you think of this open world RPG. Indeed, player opinion seems to be a bit more divided, although we're well aware that some people have been waiting 12 years for this sequel, and that fact might have counted towards heightened expectations.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 will bring a whole host of new content when it launches on April 3. Included is a fresh Squad Assemble feature which grants your crew a range of bonuses.

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone is upon us. A huge content drop is on the way and in Warzone in particular, Rebirth Island is set to make its return, as well as new Public Events, weapons, and so much more. Activision has revealed a new Spy Drone contract will arrive at the beginning of the upcoming season and here is its function.

Out now on PS5, the Stellar Blade demo offers up the first hour-and-a-bit of the Sony-published action title. As its April release date nears, it feels like anticipation for this flashy action game is at an all-time high — and first impressions have been positive pretty much across the board.

Although it's yet to be officially announced, we all know that the PS5 Pro is real, and it's likely dropping later this year. A mid-gen upgrade on the PS5, Sony will probably position the refreshed console as another premium product — something that it's been doing throughout the generation so far, with stuff like PS Portal and the DualSense Edge.

We hope everyone had a Good Friday, but we're now into the weekend proper. There have been lots of big games lately, so we assume those are still very much front and centre, but then there's the Stellar Blade demo to keep you busy, too. Lots to play as usual — what will accompany your chocolate egg feast?

The latest game from Nioh studio Team Ninja, Rise of the Ronin is a PS5 exclusive, complete with Sony's backing. While it does continue the developer's run of creating challenging action RPGs, Ronin is set within a sprawling open world — which is a first for the team.

Rise of the Ronin has been out for just over a week now, and so we want to know what you think of Team Ninja's open world action RPG. Published by Sony itself, this PS5 exclusive was met with somewhat divided reviews, and so currently sits at a 76 on Metacritic. User impressions have been more lenient overall, but it's still hard to shake the feeling that Rise of the Ronin has struggled to make any kind of significant impact.

Being a Vanillaware title, the recently released (and excellent) strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord bears immediate resemblance to the Japanese developer's previous outings, like Muramasa: Rebirth, Dragon's Crown, and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. This is because longtime artist and studio co-founder Shigatake insists on depicting food as hyper-realistically as possible and defying the laws of physics when it comes to depicting the female form.

@BeerIsAwesome Belated congratulations on your impressive milestone, both in terms of platinum trophies and the Sonic series. Really hope you enjoyed the endeavour. Here's to Sonic X Shadow in a few months, and what'll hopefully be another 33 years of going fast.
