<p>It&#8217;s been a big week in the industry with the launch of not just one, but two highly anticipated action RPGs. So have you been overriding robots in Guerrilla Games&#8217; gorgeous new IP, or have you been solving Hyrulian shrine puzzles with your Sheikah Slate in Nintendo&#8217;s flagship launch title for the Switch? Both games are not only being fawned over by critics, but they both are said to be 50+ hours in length, so if you&#8217;re trying to play both, don&#8217;t forget to occasionally eat and sleep in real life! If neither of these mega releases tickle your fancy, perhaps you&#8217;ve been playing the <em>Ghost Recon: Wildlands</em> beta? Let us know, in haiku form!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been playing:</p>
