From Unlucky Hardware Failures to Weekend Tabletop Grinds: What Our Team Has Been Playing
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Eurogamer's latest weekly round-up covers hardware failures during co-op sessions, casual cruising in Forza Horizon 6, and a first-time dive into the tactical depth of Warhammer Kill Team.
When hardware decides to quit at the exact wrong moment, you know the gaming gods are sending a message. That was the reality for Eurogamer's Victoria this week, whose home display gave up the ghost just a day after her husband casually mused about upgrading to a larger screen while they were knee-deep in a co-op run of Split Fiction. Whether it was suspicious timing or pure coincidence, the resulting hunt for a replacement panel is a relatable reminder that our physical entertainment setups take a beating when we find a game that truly hooks us.
Away from hardware casualties, the rotation has been wonderfully eclectic. Marie has been keeping things breezy in Forza Horizon 6, treating the open road as a low-stress garage simulator where the main objective is building out custom rides and dropping in for casual street races whenever the mood strikes. It is a solid reminder that games do not always need to demand a massive daily time sink to stay engaging. Sometimes you just want to cruise through the digital countryside without sweating a battle pass grind.
On the tactical side, our own adventures ventured dangerously close to miniature collecting territory with a deep dive into Warhammer Kill Team. For anyone who has ever looked at turn-based strategy like XCOM and wished they could physically push painted plastic across a table, the learning curve is steep and packed with dense rulebooks, but the payoff in tactical variety is undeniable. You can check out the original report over at Eurogamer to see what else the team has been sinking their hours into this week.
