What We Played #552 – Sniper Elite 5, Ni no Kuni & The Quarry

Time Stamp: May 27, 2022 6:00 AM

Oh we do like to play games here at TSA. And there are many games to play. I’ve further derailed myself from ever playing Elden Ring by going back to Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch after really enjoying my time with Cross Worlds. I’ll then have to play Ni no Kuni II after that, so don’t expect to see me any time soon. I’ve also been playing Touken Ranbu Warriors which is like a Warriors game but actually simpler, and then I’m back on the Monster Hunter Rise train in preparation for the Sunbreak expansion. It is a good time for Dominics.

Nic B has played [Embargoed]. And flipping Pokemon Go. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if [Embargoed] is just some more Pokemon Go, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, Gamoc has been playing Winter Ember for review. He’s also been playing MGS5, but hasn’t had much time this week. He must still be watching a cutscene.

Aran has been playing Lost Judgment and trying to tackle all the side cases that he can before getting through the main story. He says, “I’m having fun with the game and just taking the time to explore as much as I can.” I love those kind of games; where you don’t want it to end. I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed III the same way, which is probably a bit strange.

Steve meanwhile has picked up V Rising which is “vampirism Valheim”. He’s also enjoyed his time with a preview demo of The Quarry and decided that marking season was the best time to start Dragon Quest XI. He says, “I am not smart!”. Which is at least only half true.

Jim has been playing a load of Hunt: Showdown this past week and loving it. He says it’s, “easily the most tense, atmospheric shooter there right now with a plash of survival horror. Having braved the game’s twisted roguelike progression mechanics, I was about to max out and retire one of my hunters when a certain household menace switched off the television. Needless to say, my survivor didn’t survive more than a few seconds exposed his idle self to the enemy teams.”

Hammering his usual Dead by Daylight, Nick P added to that with FIFA 22 and continuing to make he way slowly through Horizon Forbidden West.

Ade has just been playing Sifu, saying, “it’s really good!!” Nick popped back in to agree with him wholeheartedly.

Sniper Elite 5 Review Stealth

Tef has continued to be a rather busy bee this week, as he’s been reviewing Sniper Elite 5 and Roller Champions – both still in progress – got to share his thoughts on Two Point Campus, and probably got to see some things he can’t tell you about yet. Secrets!

What have you played? Was it games?
