It’s the weekend, lastly, and we’re able to relax and play some video games. What about you?
This weekend we’re getting our MMO on, enjoying digital basketball, dodging lovely unhealthy guys whereas feeding a blue monster, and leaping right into a tactical shooter. Some of us are literally getting exterior this weekend (me!) and will not be enjoying any video games.
Here’s what we’re as much as:
Connor Makar, Staff Writer – World of Warcraft Classic
This weekend I’ll be enjoying World of Warcraft Classic once more on hardcore servers. Something about Blizzcon simply bought me again within the temper for it, and whereas retail WoW continues to be garbo, Classic nonetheless has its hooks in me.
I’m additionally planning on baking some recent bread this weekend. Not a online game, however enjoyable nonetheless!
James Billcliffe, Guides Editor – Poinpy
I’m at present digging by way of the cell video games you get as a part of your Netflix subscription for one thing for the positioning subsequent week, and woof there’s some nice stuff on there.
The full model of Dead Cells, together with the Castlevania DLC might be the largest spotlight – alongside the likes of Spiritfarer, Into the Breach and Kentucky Route Zero, in fact – however a extra conventional cell recreation that is actually caught my consideration is Poinpy.
It’s from Moppin, in any other case generally known as Ojiro Fumoto, who developed the sensible indie platformer, Downwell. Where Downwell noticed you… leaping down a effectively, Poinpy is a intelligent reversal of the method the place you endlessly climb upwards, squishing fruit juice to appease the creature chasing you skyward.
With a Bubble Bobble aesthetic, moreish gameplay and good vibes, it is simply the perfect type of cell recreation – plus the Netflix connection means no advertisements or microtransactions.
Kelsey Raynor, Guides Writer – Counter-Strike 2
This weekend, I’ve a couple of issues deliberate. Tonight, I’m going to take pleasure in some Korean BBQ with pals and doubtless play Counter-Strike 2 till silly o’clock. It’s my first time having KBBQ, and I’m an enormous foodie, so I’m very excited (and already salivating on the considered it.)
As for the remainder of the weekend, I’m going to remain inside the place it is heat and dry, and doubtless play some Spirittea. This Studio Ghibli-inspired sim seems tremendous cosy, and ideally suited to wind down with this weekend. I’ll little doubt be squeezing in CS2 matches and Super Mario Bros. Wonder ranges all through the weekend, although!
Mark Warren, Senior Staff Writer – NBA 2K24
Having been on a little bit of a brand new launch gauntlet for the previous week, I’m planning on dovetailing delving a bit extra deeply into each of the titles which have comprised nearly all of my gaming life since I final contributed to certainly one of these with some good outdated NBA 2K24.
You can learn my ideas on Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and EA Sports WRC right here and right here, respectively. Suffice it to say, they each delivered just about precisely what I hoped for from them. So, I can’t wait to maintain plugging away.
In phrases of 2K, I’m going to be choosing again up an MyNBA Eras save that’s up to now seen me type a little bit of a late 80s dynasty with a Karl Malone and Dominique Wilkins-led Seattle SuperSonics group. We even managed to beat a Chicago Bulls squad that includes each a sure Mr Jordan and Magic Johnson throughout our final finals look, so who is aware of what awaits because the Nineteen Nineties actually get going.
That’s us for the week. What about you? What are you enjoying?
