What We Have Been Playing: Tactical Star Wars, Souls Revivals, and Elden Ring Obsessions
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Eurogamer's team shares their weekly gaming rotation, featuring tactical strategies in Star Wars: Zero Company, revisiting Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and solo struggles in Elden Ring: Nightreign.
The gaming week brings a fascinating mix of tactical strategy, overlooked action RPGs, and stubborn attempts to finally conquer FromSoftware's toughest challenges. Over at Eurogamer, the editorial team has been comparing notes on what is currently consuming their screen time across PC and console. Star Wars: Zero Company has emerged as an unexpected team favorite, hooking staff members with its deep tactical combat, environmental kills, and undeniable charm despite some notable launch performance hiccups and technical jank.
Meanwhile, team members seeking different kinds of challenges have been diving backward into recent gaming history. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has found itself back in rotation on PlayStation 5 as players brush up on their parry timing and revisit its dark fantasy combat. It serves as a great reminder of how satisfying it is to return to older action titles once your mechanical skills have been sharpened by years of subsequent releases in the genre.
On the FromSoftware front, the struggle continues in Elden Ring: Nightreign. After spending time with recent network tests for other projects, one staff writer decided to give Nightreign a second chance as a solo player. Despite the punishing pace and the absence of a reliable co-op squad, learning the intricacies of the map layout, item locations, and revival economics is finally starting to pay off against those brutal late-game encounters.
These weekly check-ins highlight the messy reality of the modern gaming diet, where players bounce wildly between massive new platform releases, technical optimization fixes, and comfort replays of older favorites. Whether you are spending your weekend min-maxing tactical squad abilities or learning boss attack patterns the hard way, the digital backlog waits for no one.
