Rewinder: What We're Playing This Week (July 26, 2025)

We're back once more with a new edition of What We're Playing.

Last week saw the team mostly united in playing Donkey Kong Bananza following its high-profile launch on Switch 2, so has that changed much since then? Maybe, maybe not. As always, here's what the team's been up to.

It's mostly been a week of review games for me. Donkey Kong Bananza is still top of my list alongside some more F1 25, while I also dropped into Le Mans Ultimate and Super Mario Party Jamboree. However, most of my time has been spent on two review games over at UploadVR: Clone Drone in the Hyperdome and Elsewhere Electric.

My ADHD fully claimed my enjoyment of Cyberpunk 2077 from me, so I've gone back to a mix of the exquisite Monster Train 2, and the classic boy band experience of Final Fantasy XV. Monster Train 2 builds on the first game by just adding in more variety and a clearer path to harder runs, which is sick. FFXV is a good time, and I only played it at launch, so it's got a lot of story that'll be new... when I get to it.

This week I have been playing a lot of Donkey Kong still, and I am starting to think I might want to 100% it. After rolling credits last night with 530-something bananas, it doesn't seem like it would be too much work to get the last few hundred.

I have also downloaded Super Mario Party Jamboree - Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV (to give it its full name). Which we'll be playing on Twitch soonish… Because we hate each other.

I am still collecting some bananas in Donkey Kong Bananza, I also got WWE 2K25 on Switch and can see myself playing too much of that because my brain does not have to work to play the wrestling.

Are you playing anything this weekend? Let us know in the comments below.
