Your weekly toil is over, friends, and you are to be rewarded with 48 hours of rest and respite. In between resting and respiting, you’ll also have plenty of time to game, so let’s hear what you’re gonna be playing this time around.
As for me, I’ll be hopping onto a lot of stuff this weekend, not least because I am an addict who cannot take his eyes off the screen. That is, if I get enough sleep tonight, which I never seem to do. And today I am especially tired, having only slept a few hours last night for no good reason, which usually tends to prevent me from sleeping.
In between the sleeping and the (potential) gym session in the morning, I’ll be looking into completing my amazing run with Duklja in Crusader Kings 3, where I caused the collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire and slowly but surely picked up the pieces it left behind and glued them together into one massive Balkan Imperium. Other than that, there’s World of Tanks with the 2.0 update still going strong, as well as a secret little game you’ll hear more of soon. Well, more like two secret games.
The rest of the crew is keeping busy this time around as well, with even our editor Luci straying from the beaten path of chess and into tennis, both of which are staple Eastern European arts. He’ll be swinging his racket in TopSpin 2K25, in between moving pieces on a board, because old habits die hard.
Our writing trio, Scott Duwe, Madison Benson, and Arka Sarkar, are all going to be playing Borderlands 4 if they can get the game to run on their machines, which so many people are failing to do (read my feature on broken AAA launches, while we’re on the topic).
Scott will also sprinkle some Marvel Rivals into the mix, just for variation, and so will Kacee Fay, unless she’s sinking time into Sims 4, which she aims to be her main gaming pleasure.
Hadley Vincent is sticking to their horror roots and looking back in time to when the genre was still serviceable, opting to spend their weekend exploring the dark corners of Raccoon City in the original Resident Evil trilogy. They will also get some Apex Legends action going, as we are all addicted to some live-service title and cannot just be playing the good stuff all the time.
These past few days have been tumultuous for everyone across the globe, with unwelcome events unraveling left and right, so make sure you take these upcoming two days and get some well-deserved rest in and avoid the grim real world for a while.
I know I will, but it is you who matters the most, dear reader, so do not go gentle into that good weekend without letting us know whatcha gonna be playin’.
Stay safe and have a great weekend, Destructoid.
