Happy July! For Americans it’s looking like a 4-day weekend (if you’re taking Monday off that is), and that means lots of time to play games!

Personally, I’m looking forward to hopefully finishing Horizon: Forbidden West. See where I’m at specifically in the spoiler section.

Minor Horizon spoilers

I’ve trapped Hephaestus and am currently in one of the Zenith’s art galleries. I had to stop here mid-mission during my last gaming session, but this looks to be the climax of the story, so I am very excited to see how this unfolds!

After that, I might just dive right into the Burning Shores DLC, or maybe deviate to The Pathless or Tchia, which I picked up on discount recently.

On the family gaming front, my partner and I are just beginning Hogwarts Legacy. Specifically we just got to Hogsmeade for the first time. She’s more of a 2D fan and struggles with the camera in 3rd person games, but she’s determined to play this one as she loves Harry Potter! This one is going to be a really slow burn for us.

How about all of you? What are your plans, and where are you currently in your respective games?

    I’ve just finished the main story and side quests for Iki Island. By far, my favorite part of the game. Really emotional ending (which I won’t spoil), as well.

    I’m done with Ghost of Tsushima now, after some 70 hours of non-stop gameplay and getting the Platinum trophy. Will likely give my PS5 a break for the rest of the week while I catch up on books and TV.

      I always have to take a week or so off after a great game to let it wash over me before I can dive into the next one. So glad you liked it!

        Yeah, it’s time I need to process the story. PS exclusives almost always leave me like this. Like, I couldn’t get into any new game for like 2 months after TLOU2.

        That’s why I’m so glad we get banger DLCs like Frozen Wilds, Left Behind and now Iki Island that let me return to those worlds later. I think only Burning Shores was somewhat disappointing. Not because it’s not good, it just doesn’t reach the heights of Frozen Wilds.

          TLOU2 hit me so hard! I had to take a similar break. Oh, dont say that about Burning shores, I’m about to start 😭. But I never finished frozen wilds…I might have to go back

            Oh, don’t get me wrong. Burning Shores is a solid B+ DLC. It’s just that Frozen Wilds is my favorite ever part of the Horizon franchise!
