What we’re playing
Amanda– I’m playing Stardew Valley and I get why people like it. It’s fairly easy to pick up and the day and night phases see you rushing about to do the little tasks. I do wish the notifications were a bit better for the Xbox One and navigating the menus was easier. But, perhaps this is a game that’s just better on PC or a handheld…
Mark – At the moment, I am playing a lot of Wizard Chess(!) with my son and Connect 4 with my daughter. When I do get a moment for myself it’s Horizon Forbidden West.
Main topic – 25 Best Action Games of All Time (according to Popular Mechanics – yes, really!)
