With the flurry of early December releases finally out, and The Game Awards in the rear-view mirror, we can officially relax and enjoy the holidays. We have so much gaming to catch up on that there’s no shortage of things to play, so here’s what we’re kicking back with this weekend.
Aaron Bayne
I recently picked up [Redacted], the roguelike set in The Callisto Protocol universe. So far it seems like a fun little experience, but I’m keen to sink more time into it. Oh and it’s season 5 launch weekend for The Finals, so the new grind begins!
Jaimie Ditchfield
As PlayStation recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, I’m in a bit of a nostalgic mood and have been replaying some of my favourite games across the each generation. This weekend I will be focused on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, as I recently finished the first game on Crushing mode
Jenny Jones
I’m travelling this weekend so I’ve dusted off the old PS Vita. I will probably spend a bit of time playing Steamworld Dig 2 or maybe another playthrough of Guacamelee!.
Liam Croft
I was going to start Black Myth: Wukong earlier this week, but then the newly announced update containing bonus features and PS5 Pro support was delayed until Saturday, so I’ll finally begin my playthrough of that this weekend. I’ve also downloaded Okami, a game I’ve always had sitting quietly in my backlog. With the sequel now confirmed, there’s never been a better time to play it for the first time.
Sammy Barker
I don’t currently have access to my PS5, and it’s driving me nuts. I’m really enjoying playing my usual gacha games on my phone, but I really want to properly dig into Marvel Rivals and Infinity Nikki on the big screen. Hopefully soon!
Stephen Tailby
I don’t have much planned, to be honest, so I’m thinking I might just chill out with some recent favourites. Astro Bot’s just received its festive-themed DLC update, so I’ll be grinning like an idiot playing that, and I want to lose myself to Balatro once more, and see if I can get some crazy scores rolling.
Those are all the games keeping us occupied this weekend, but what are you busying yourself with? Let us know in the comments section below.
