What I Played This Week 11/30-12/6

On December 7, 2020

Hey, howdy, hey, gamers! Hope you had another great week of gaming finish up. As we close out what is maybe the worst year ever, I hope you get plenty of play time, and maybe get a chance to reflect on any new games you played this year, or, if you didn’t get to a lot of new stuff, maybe what you played the most and really found a love for. I’ll be posting my Top 100 this month, along with some other lists I’ve been working on as well!
Happy Gaming~

In What I Played This Week

Hey gamers! Did you have a good week full of games? Maybe you had some time off for the holiday and got to enjoy a few extra games this week? I hope whatever you did, you stayed safe and healthy. It was weird to not see my parents and brothers for Thanksgiving, but my husband and I got to make some chili and play some games together, so it was still nice. Any games you’re hoping to unwrap next month for the holidays?

Hey Gamers! I mentioned in a recent weekly plays list that I finished up one of the Clank! Legacy campaigns I had been working through! I wanted to jot down some of my thoughts on it in sort of a mini-review. But beware! There will be spoilers below. So if you plan on playing it and don’t want spoilers, don’t continue! That is all. Otherwise, enjoy!
