Eurogamer editors share their favorite games this week
Several Eurogamer editors shared their recent gaming experiences, with a notable collective focus on the newly released tactical strategy title Star Wars: Zero Company. While the team explored different genres and platforms, the shared enthusiasm for the Star Wars entry provided a common thread in their weekly roundup.
Connor, writing from the PS5, expressed strong enjoyment for Star Wars: Zero Company, despite acknowledging the presence of occasional bugs. He noted that he had already invested approximately 15 hours into the game, a commitment that made restarting with a new character unappealing. Connor highlighted Kabb Uppercut as a particularly effective character for learning the game's displacement mechanics. The character's ability to launch enemies in a chosen direction, combined with the action point refund upon securing a kill, encourages creative tactical play. Connor specifically recommended using this mechanic to knock enemies into obstacles for extra damage or into water for instant elimination, a strategy he found especially useful against buffed enemies on hard difficulty.
Chris, playing on PC, also praised the game, noting that it is "undoubtedly lovable" despite some performance issues. He mentioned that the game's performance was initially choppy, which led him to clean his PC and reapply thermal paste, though it still occasionally stutters. Chris reflected on the game's "lovable jank," suggesting that its quirks contribute to its charm rather than detracting from the experience. He promised a review would be forthcoming.
Dom, on the other hand, revisited Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition on the PS5. He described the 2023 title as an "overlooked gem" and noted that playing the sequel at Gamescom prompted him to return to the original. Dom found the second playthrough easier, attributing this to his recent focus on "parry games." He recommended the title to fans of Souls-like games, noting his natural gravitation toward it after finishing Onimusha.
Finally, Matt, playing on PC, shared his renewed interest in Elden Ring: Nightreign. He admitted to initially finding the game too fast and difficult, particularly when playing solo. However, after enjoying the The Duskbloods closed network test, he decided to give Nightreign another chance. Matt reported that he is slowly beginning to understand the game's mechanics, such as map navigation and resource management, and is working toward completing the first night, despite still struggling with the frenetic pace.
