Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



The week's end is upon us! Time to rejoice, consume unhealthy amounts of food, sleep, relax, and play a lot of videogames. Not necessarily in that order. But weekends are not about order, they are about wonderful, uninhibited, guilt-free fun.

So which games are you playing this weekend to achieve the fun? Go on, share your Weekend Playlists with us. They can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!


Looking for some inspiration, perhaps? The GOG.com releases of the week provide plenty:

You can wreck the dead with your dancing routines in the new <span class="bold">Crypt of the NecroDancer DLC</span>
You can crawl into the labyrinthine dungeon of <span class="bold">Barony: Cursed Edition</span>
You can catch up to the upcoming <span class="bold">Blood and Wine</span> expansion for <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span>
You can puzzle/platform your way into the enigmatic heart of the <span class="bold">Braid</span>
You can solve this giant riddle of an island as <span class="bold">The Witness</span>
You can blow away aliens with a super-tank in <span class="bold">Uprising 2: Lead and Destroy</span>
You can build your own <span class="bold">Goliath</span> and play fisticuffs with huge monsters
You can blast into space and become a <span class="bold">Star Ruler 2</span> with the new <span class="bold">DLC</span>
You can fight under the neon lights, practicing your awesome <span class="bold">Megamagic</span>
Lately I've mostly been switching between Pillars of Eternity and Metroid Prime, although with the final Witcher 3 expansion coming soon I'm thinking it's time to get back to that and finally play it to completion.

I've also been playing a bit of Quake, Donkey Kong Country, and Cook, Serve, Delicious recently, so maybe some of those mixed in, too.
For me on the playlist are freshly bought Star Wars games, namely Galactic Battlegrounds and Shadows of the Empire
I'm working so it will have to be something non-time-sinky like... Hmmm, Desktop Dungeons?
Or an android RPG, or maybe even finishing off my installation of DOSbox Turbo on my tablet for DOSsy goodness. :)
Then,
Harvester
Zork
Stonekeep
Wizardry 6.
I'll probably be finishing up Shantae: Risky's Revenge. After that I shall go back to Shadows of the Empire and finally beat that poopy-head Boba Fett silly, while jumping back and forth between SotE and Rogue Squadron.

I've mostly been working on clearing out the backlog of tasks that accumulated while I was working on my degree project but, I did reward myself for finishing it by buying Stardew Valley and burning out most of my obsession for it by playing for over 30 hours straight back at the beginning of the month. (Followed by more normal play for an hour or two here or there over the course of the following week)

Once I've cleared off my desk and desktop, I'll be working to complete the Undertale playthrough I started before the crunch and then starting the binge of Sierra- and Sierra-inspired adventure games I'd originally planned as my celebration for finishing the project.

vicklemos: Dude if you worked at McGOGnald's the entire week wouldn't you, on your weekend, go out to eat at McSteamOS or something? ;P
I would try to not get fried!!! :P

JudasIscariot: I might try Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (thanks for the package that makes the GOG version a Linux native one, Amarden :D), I think I'll go for Grim Dawn and perhaps some Enter the Gungeon since that got updated recently.
Watch and learn from Judas ;)
Realms Of The Haunting. I am heading towards the end of the first chapter (I guess). Really good, love the atmosphere and the controls are better than I expected. The almost Lovecraftian vibe of the game is right up my alley and the music sends goosebumps down my spine, occasionaly. Recommended for everyone out there that has not played it yet!

Apart from that, maybe a few battles in King's Bounty: The Legend.

Tonight I think I'll spend the night with souvlaki and the Euroleague F4 :D

Here's what he meant! :D
I have already picked up my witcher 3 playthrough this week, I doubt I'll stop on weekend. I left it just before heading to isle of mists, in anticipation of the two expansions, it's high time I finished the main quest and hearts of stone and explore all the "?" markers before the second expansion hits. Maybe some Tyrim or Grim dawn if I get tired of drowners and wolves.

Interesting thing, I had no trouble remembering where I was and what I was planning to do next. Usually when returning to openworld RPG after 8 months, it's better to start from the beginning. Not this time.
Probably gonna play some Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom and LotR: Battle for Middle-Earth, maybe try to finish No One Lives Forever. Last weekend I played through Soldier of Fortune. I would love to see all of those games on GOG some day but sadly I think every one of them is stuck in some sort of copyright limbo :(
Playing turns of Chaos Reborn in between other things, & carrying on with current playthroughs of Baldur's Gate 2 & A Boy And His Blob.
Probably some multiplayer Rampart & Weaponlord on the Megadrive tomorrow night.
