What are you playing this weekend, Destructoid?

It’s a long weekend ahead of us, my fellow bots! With a Monday holiday to look forward to in parts of the world, including the US and UK, which means there’s an extra day to play some games before heading back to work! Huzzah!

To top it off, there’s some pretty good indie offerings released this week to play, as well as chances to go back into the old backlog ahead of next week’s big release (Elden Ring Nightreign, anyone?) But enough waffle, let’s jump straight into it.

I really want to play Fantasy Life i, but I’m a sucker for physical media and with the recent news that the game has been cancelled physically in the West, I rebelled against that noise and decided to import it from Asia instead so I can have it on my shelf. Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to spend the long weekend playing a game I’ve been looking forward to for a while—but you can all pick it up and play it on my behalf at least!

Instead, I think I might give Monster Train 2 a try. My colleagues have been saying what a good deck builder Monster Train 2 is, but I’m worried it won’t be my cup of tea. I was also looking into Spligate 2, but I’m kind of all tapped out when it comes to shooters currently.

I can’t really think of anything else new from the past week that would suit my tastebuds, so there’s always the option of Shiny hunting some Pokémon on various games as well, or playing Elden Ring on a new save file to remind myself of the controls ahead of the multiplayer game releasing next week. So many options… so little time.

But enough about me, what are you plotting for your weekend, Destructoid fam? Let me know in the comments below!
