What Are You Playing? November 22nd, 2017

There’s some downtime this week in terms of new video game releases, with developers and publishers allowing us to catch our breath after what has been a relentless series of stellar new games.

As such, I’ve been continuing to sink my teeth into Star Wars Battlefront 2. Though we gave it a 2.5 in our review, there is still some fun to be had in its multiplayer mode (particularly its Starfighter Assault mode, which I will be fanboying over in a feature tomorrow), if you can look past its incredibly wonky progression system. I know for some that’s a deal breaker, but I’ve been enjoying myself in spite of its many flaws.

But that’s enough about us. What are you playing this week?
