Another relatively drab week has concluded in the PlayStation Nation, but hopefully things are looking up as we edge towards the busy Spring period. Here s what s keeping us busy this weekend.

To be honest, I just want to mess about with FIFA 21 this weekend and relax a little bit. I did start Bugsnax earlier in the week, and I ve been enjoying that.
Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor
I have a fair bit I can play this weekend. Primarily, I m going to be taking a look at a couple of indie titles for review Signs of the Sojourner and Star Renegades. If I get time, though, I d like to crack on with Final Fantasy VII Remake. I recently bought a couple of games I ve been meaning to play for ages, but they might have to wait until next week.

It felt like it was a bit busier in the video game industry these past few days, which is hopefully a sign the industry is beginning to awaken from its festive slumber. We’re still mainly obliterating our backlogs, but Hitman 3 did release to critical acclaim this week, so there’s something new to tackle as well.
Sammy Barker, Editor
Knowing that I was going to lose my Hitman 3 review progress whatever I did, I’ve decided to go back to Hitman 2 and wrap up all the Trophies there before importing my progress into the new game. I love this series, but even I can’t find the stomach to grind out Mastery Level 20 in Hokkaido for a third time!

God, last week was scary. Amid our holiday slumber, this author forgot what day of the week it was, and forgot about WAYP. Fortunately, Assistant Editor Liam Croft came in with the save. If he hadn’t, that would have broken a streak stretching all the way back to 2013. Thank heavens, eh?
Sammy Barker, Editor
I’m still playing Watch Dogs Legion, although I must admit its structure is beginning to wear on me now. I do like the game a lot, but it feels like it’s run out of ideas as I near its conclusion. Will definitely be finishing it and some of the side-missions this weekend, though.
Game of the Year: Graham s Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2020

Alongside our staff-voted Game of the Year awards, each of our writers have crafted their own personal lists, covering their top five PlayStation 5 and PS4 titles of 2020. Today, it s the turn of reviewer Graham Banas.
I’ve been on record as having a particular soft spot for rhythm games in VR. But even with that, Pistol Whip is a seriously impressive title. It’s a phenomenal rail shooter completely in isolation from all of the musical aspects of the experience, but combining them is where the real magic happens. I could hardly stand to take my VR headset off when I really got into a rhythm. Those transcendent moments where I don’t even need to see enemies spawn in to know they’ll be there and just go by intuition? I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything!
