Whatcha playing this weekend, Destructoid? (July 18-20)

Congrats, soldiers, you’ve made it to another weekend. And you know what that means: 48 hours of unhealthy gaming. Lots of stuff on the table this time around (and more waiting just around the corner), because there’s never a dull moment in video games.

As good a time as any for REMATCH

Now, look, I’m not all too much of a sporty dude. Last time I rolled a ball over the ground didn’t end very well, and don’t even get me started on when I had to roll it around another dude. Just not a lot of fun when you have two left legs (or two right ones, I don’t judge).

But when that ball is digital and all you need is a pair of semi-functional hands to take control of it, then it’s as good a time as any to get to it.

And of course, here I mean REMATCH, the recent Sloclap masterpiece that simply has me hooked through and through.

My weekend usually consists of whatever slop my friends and I get our hands on (and some good stuff in between), and REMATCH comes in clutch to break the monotony and give me an extra reason to bash my head against the wall, matched with random players who think they’re the next Lionel Messi. But aside from that little gripe, this little arcade sports gem is gonna be a great place to spend some of that hard-earned weekend time.

Never a dull moment in Night City

On top of live-service competitive multiplayer that drains my sanity, I’ll also try to have some fun putting down actually insane cyberpsychos hiding around Night City’s shady corners. Cyberpunk 2077 recently got a new patch (Update 2.3), I got myself a new graphics card, and Night City is as fine as it ever was, minus the rampant crime, corporate overreach, and human rights violations (any and all similarity to real life is purely accidental, of course).

I’ve never actually completed the game’s main story, believe it or not, save for that one ending no one likes to talk about. Recently, I cleared Phantom Liberty and absolutely loved it, so I cannot wait to see what else this tragic game has in store for me (probably lots of feels, bugs, and fantastic storytelling).

But it’s you I want to know more about

Before the text cuts off, and you get ready to click away, I want to hear what it is you’ve been up to this week, whatcha gonna be playin’ this weekend, and what games you’re most excited about. Lots of stuff is coming our way this Summer and Fall, so do let me know which ones you’re keeping an eye out for. I’d tell you mine, but I’ll let you take the first shot.

Have a great weekend, Destructoid.
