Eurogamer's weekly roundup returns with short dispatches from the team about what they've been sinking hours into. The group ranges from someone repeatedly tripping over a game's learning curve to colleagues indulging in quieter, story-led sessions and a renewed dive into Nioh.

  • One writer admits to a frustrating stretch of poor in-game performance, turning sessions into a humbling but oddly entertaining grind.
  • Marie has been focused on a game with a strong maternal theme, spending sessions trying to align choices and actions to satisfy an in-game mother figure.
  • Victoria's playtime has been largely opportunistic: short bursts at the airport and between travel, showing how portable gaming slots neatly into life on the move.
  • Dom has returned to Nioh territory, sharing renewed enthusiasm for its combat depth and design quirks that keep luring players back.

Together the entries underline how diverse modern play habits are: some sessions are long and methodical, others are brief and situational, and a few are stubbornly determined attempts to master difficult systems. The piece offers a familiar mix of personal anecdotes, candid admissions and recommendations — useful for anyone scouting something new or simply curious about how Eurogamer’s staff spend their spare hours.
