This weekend I will likely be taking the Eurostar from Germany to England… which suggests quite a lot of Slay The Spire and a few extra time on 13 Sentinels, nothing new! I am sorry for being so repetitive and predictable!

Buuuuuut since I am at Gamescom this week, I’ve performed and seen quite a lot of video games that I am now excited for, even when I do not know in the event that they’re all coming to Swap. Does that depend? There’s Vikings on Trampolines, Animal Properly, Beginning, Aka, Lakeside, and Fall of Porcupine all look SO fascinating and exquisite. I hope all of them come to Swap! However I am additionally pondering I ought to get a Steam Deck…

I’ve not needed to confess something on ‘What Are You Enjoying’ for some time, so let’s change that – I’ve by no means actually performed a Splatoon recreation. I’ve tried however probably not for quite a lot of minutes at a time. So, this weekend, I’ll be dipping my toes into the Splatoon 3 demo. My first ever Splatfest, hey? In case you see an Octoling flailing about and doing terribly, that’s in all probability me. Sorry upfront, Staff Scissors!

That’s in all probability all I’ll have time for this weekend – I’ll clearly be dipping into Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s postgame, however rather less online game time seems like an excellent factor.

This weekend, for me, will likely be a world of furnishings constructing and adorning. So, when my couch is lastly in, what higher option to sit back than persevering with with my Splatoon 2 catch-up? A method or one other, I’ll have some talent on the recreation by the discharge of the upcoming sequel.

I’m additionally searching for some consolation gaming over the following couple of days, so there is no such thing as a doubt that I will likely be returning to my beloved Zelda. Hopefully, I will progress with Skyward Sword slightly greater than I’ve completed previously — movement controls turned off, in fact. Nevertheless, I’ve additionally been listening to the Breath of the Wild soundtrack quite a bit this week, so one other run by means of the newest incarnation of Hyrule Discipline could also be calling me for some cosy rest.

As ever, thanks for studying! Make certain to depart us a remark beneath together with your weekend gaming plans!
