Not that late! April Update

Play

Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Completed

Well would you look at that! I have completed another game!

I started this back at the end of January, it's a very good game. Possibly the best Star Wars game made so far, exploring the open world and the many cities bustling with life and idle conversations.

 

I completed the main story but I will go back to enjoy the DLC content

Prey (PS5) 

This game has been on my backlog for a while, I did start it a few years ago but turned it off at the first mimic jump scare! I'm a wimp!

 

I have turned down the difficulty to make the game easier to play for my "old-school" reactions but it does not adjust the fear factor!

I love the sci-fi setting, you have a small area to explore and metroidvania like not everything is unlocked so you need to figure out passwords or find keycards.

Watch out for the mimics! 

2026 Gaming Resolutions Update
I am updating my resolutions 

1. Purchase no more physical games, yes this resolution is even tougher now!

I just need to ignore all sales & delete the HOT UK Deals app!


2. The hardware challenge was too easy, I have no intention of buying any new consoles. so let's focus on my gaming backlog especially the PS+ Extra which expires end of December and I planned to renew at only the essentials tier.

Currently I have 21 games on my PS+ Extra backlog, some of these are quite short but I am never going to complete all 21 before December so let's go with completing at least 10 of these titles! 


3. I have £80 on PSN credit and this all I can use until I reduce my digital backlog to 10 titles (either by playing or dropping, currently at 35 games). No more shopto top up codes!

I am going to stick with this the current balance left is £46 & this is all I can spend for 2026. However I don't plan on buying anything and looking at the physical games I own, none of them have any DLC content. So I should be able to use some of this credit to pay for my PS+ Essentials renewal in December

4. The FOMO challenge again was too easy, I don't really care enough and will just play what I want instead of what is the flavour of the month. So I am deleting this resolution and just sticking with the three above.


Backlog

PS+ Extra (21) - I have until the end of December to crack through as many of these as possible! Good luck!

Digital Games (46) - Added both Star Wars DLC which were not included and Graveyard Keeper (I did not purchase it was free).

PS+ Monthly (13) - Reduced by 6, I've had a bit of a clearout and remove games I have no intention of playing, truthfully I must of done this a while ago because I have no idea what games I deleted!

Physical Games (12) - No change, nothing added or removed.

Total = 92 Games

FALSE ALARM - I do have access to a gaming PC but sorry I'll just stick to PS5 gaming for now. So no Steam backlog list.


Shopping

2026 Target is spend less than £100 - Total spent £66.00  

No change, nothing purchased
 

Want
Added The Artful Escape, Mixtape, Replaced & Outbound to my wishlist


Bin

Nothing really, just the lack of time for gaming!
