BrendyI want to play something with big robots in it. I am in a big robot mood.Mechwarrior 5? Too samey.Into The Breach? Too small.Armored Core VI? Too thirty-five poundsy. Maybe I’ll just pick a ridiculous anime to watch instead.
EdI’m heading to the Lake District for a week with some pals, so I’ll be walking on lush grass and heavy mud more than I will looking at a screen and twiddling some thumbsticks. I will, however, bring my Deck andmaybeplay it in the evenings before I hit the sack. I’m thinking some moreUntil Then, a visual novel-y game I’ve been meaning to write properly about but need a little more time. It’s a good’un folks.
EdwinEver the indecisive layabout, I’m going to split my time this weekend betweenZenless Zone Zeroand a review game which, shhh, I can’t spoil. I’ve also been belatedly getting intoVoid Stranger, which is “a fun sokoban-inspired dungeon crawler” in much the same way that an angler fish is a “reassuring underwater light source”.
GrahamFall Guys,MinecraftandDune Imperium. As always.
JeremyI should probably try beating more Elden Ring:Shadow Of The Erdtreebosses this weekend, though it doesn’t look there will be much time for gaming as my mother-in-law is visiting. One of the weekend days is also going to be spent playing the greatest game of all: life admin! Can my wife and I succeed in booking an inexpensive Air B&B for an upcoming trip to the States? We shall roll the dice and see what happens…
KieraI have some time off coming up to rest and recoup from the madness of the Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree release. To celebrate, I think I’ll play more Shadow Of The Erdtree. I know that sounds a bit silly, but I’m so close to finishing it now and it would be rude not to really.
NicOddly enough,Hades. Not evenHades 2, either. Figured I’d go back and finally spend some decent time with the first one. I…think it’s probably more charming than it’s actually fun to play. Don’t hate me! The characters and art and music and extra touches are….well, they’re Supergiant. They don’t miss with this stuff. But I’m finding some encounters just don’t work for certain build types, which has me worrying about rounding out toolsets rather than having as much fun experimenting as I’d like. Also, some of the weapons feel like they needed a bit more love. Looking at you, bow. Otherwise, I’ve got a game for review kicking about on my list. I hope it’s not a secret, because otherwise I just put my foot in my mouth.
But you, reader dear, what are you playing this weekend?
