What have you been playing this week?
Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing. This week a Game of the Year contender put Tom to sleep, Nightreign’s DLC posed a real challenge, and Unpacking provides order in a messy world.
There’s a lot of Game of the Year talk going on around the Eurogamer hallways, doorways, and water coolers (it’s just Slack, really), and some people here really love Blue Prince. Being a contrarian, I obviously didn’t get on with it at all when I gave it a whirl around release earlier in the year. I’m willing to be proven wrong about things (doesn’t often happen, mind), so I booted it up on the PS5 again this week to see if I’d just been in the wrong frame of mind for it.
I fell asleep on the sofa after about 20 minutes. Maybe you’ll get me at some point, Blue Prince, but your puzzle magic hasn’t cast its spell on me yet.
