Eurogamer’s regular “What We’ve Been Playing” feature sees four writers reflect on games they have recently enjoyed, ranging from a relaxing shop-management title to expansive role-playing adventures and nautical horror. The piece matters chiefly as a set of personal recommendations and impressions, highlighting how different games suit different moods, from brief moments of calm to long-term completionist play.

Marie recommends PC game Thrifty Business for its colourful art and light retail-management systems, while Connor is revisiting Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PC, valuing its slower exploration, oxcart journeys and collecting. Dom returns to Final Fantasy X/X-2 on Switch 2 as Final Fantasy X marks 25 years since its July 2001 launch, praising Spira’s Hawaiian-inspired world and the remaster’s progression and speed options; Kelsey’s contribution concerns a cosy but nautical-horror experience.
