What We Have Been Playing: Returning to Novigrad, Battling Through E-Day, and More
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Eurogamer's team shares their weekly gaming rotation, highlighting thoughts on The Witcher 3 Remastered, Gears of War: E-Day, Silent Hill: Townfall, and mobile favorite Heads Up!
As the gaming calendar keeps us glued to our screens, our editorial team has been diving into a mix of heavy hitting recent releases and comfortable classics. Over at Eurogamer, the crew has been busy unpacking old muscle memory and testing out new campaigns across PC, console, and mobile. Revisiting The Witcher 3 with its recent remaster proved that even after eleven years, CD Projekt Red's masterpiece holds its ground. Navigating the bustling, foul-mouthed streets of Novigrad still feels like exploring one of the greatest urban environments in role-playing game history, easily giving upcoming heavyweights a run for their money.
Meanwhile, the grit and grime of Gears of War: E-Day has been consuming console schedules on Xbox Series X. Pushing through the campaign on Hardcore difficulty offers a surprisingly chunky runtime of over twenty hours, with Horde and PvP modes waiting in the wings for players seeking pure kinetic catharsis. Over on PlayStation 5, Silent Hill: Townfall has been making waves by blending the psychological dread of the iconic horror franchise with a distinctly British atmosphere, showing just how far Konami's horror renaissance has come since the Silent Hill 2 remake.
Even quick mobile sessions got a look-in this week as the classic party game Heads Up! rescued an impromptu gathering from post-dinner boredom. Whether you are shaking off rust in a sprawling open world, testing your reflexes in intense tactical shooters, or just passing a phone around the living room for a quick laugh, this week's rotation proves that great design always finds a way to hook us.
