Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



That was a pretty huge Summer Sale, guys! With free games being given out left and right, and hundreds of deals up for grabs, everybody emerged with well-stocked libraries, big smiles, and pleasant dilemmas.

Like: shall I play the magnificent Spelunky that I got for free or should I begin my fourth playthrough of VtM: Bloodlines now that I got it DRM-free? Is it finally time to cash in my accumulated 2-month work leave and tackle The Witcher 3 + Expansions? Perhaps I should go for a quick Shadowrun instead, see where that takes me.

So many questions. But your answers are all that matter!
Will you be playing any of the game(s) you snagged during the Summer Sale? Or are you saving your backlog for a rainy day?

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 additional inspiration? The GOG.com releases of the week provide plenty:

- You can search for the remains of your pre-apocalyptic life in <span class="bold">Deadlight: Director's Cut</span>.
- You can mix drinks and stories as you tend to the troubled patrons of <span class="bold">VA-11 Hall-A</span>.
- You can arm yourself with both Artbook and Soundtrack and dive right back into the lovely world of <span class="bold">Stories: The Path of Destinies</span>.
- You can try to reconcile red robots with hairy monsters while platforming <span class="bold">On Rusty Trails</span>.
- You can cut your shape into the fabric of the Old West with your trusty <span class="bold">GUN&trade;</span>.
- You can expand your Solar Empire by looking for new opportunities in the <span class="bold">Outlaw Sectors</span>.
- You can protect and nurture <span class="bold">The Little Ones</span> amidst the brutality of war.
- You and your friend can praise a common god for the good of the community in <span class="bold">Thea: The Awakening</span>.
- You can return to the simulated halls of <span class="bold">MechoEcho</span> and wrestle with the free 10-level-long campaign.
Nothing. I'll probably be too busy watching The Water Margin all weekend long.

Yezemin: Nothing. I'll probably be too busy watching The Water Margin all weekend long.
Thanks for reminding me RE: watching too much this weekend. I think Sunday I might do a viewing party for Game of Thrones and just park in front of the TV all day. Good thing this afternoon and Saturday should be gorgeous as I hate spending the single beautiful day locked in ;)
I will be playing mostly Frozen Cortex and Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe.

Ixamyakxim: I've been passing on this game for years now despite the fact that I think it looks very interesting - all these games look fun but a little scary ;) EU 3 is a little bit lower on my list and I'm fairly certain I'll dive in with Crusader Kings 2 when it finally shows up here.

I'm still playing Bloodlines and Darkest Dungeon. Amazingly, DD is still getting the majority of my playtime - I thought the more narrative driven Bloodlines would. And I ended last night in Bloodlines not wanting to sneak around a cargo ship - have to clear that area soon so I don't burn out. Darkest Dungeon on the other hand has sucked me in - I keep wanting to do "one more run" and the game keeps rewarding me with new characters. I hope I don't eventually hit a wall where the game becomes too difficult as I think I'm still early in. I'm at the point where I think I have to make tough choices about maybe ditching a character or two but not wanting too.
I kind of have a love hate relationship with them (as with most 4x or city builder games). I love the concept, but often find that there's not a lot to do other than just wait for things to happen...
Crusader Kings 2 is definitely the best, the most fleshed out. I have the first one here but couldn't really get into it after playing the second (it felt a little basic). Sengoku's not quite as far behind, though it lacks some of the features of CK 2, but the different and interesting setting is nice.

Darkest Dungeon looks great. Can't wait to pick that one up and try it (just waiting for it to decrease in price a little more, probably the winter sale)
I'm finally playing the System Shock games back to back. Never done if before. Just need to finish Grabiel Knight first.
Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth 1, Kholat, and The Chronicles of RIddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
Going to be playing more Homeworld 2. If you don't know about the Homeworld series check it out it's awesome.
Renowned Explorers for me, maybe a bit of something else too.
Ashes of the Singularity campaign - still didn't finish it - not enough time + testing the new version of Sorcerer King.

And most definitely some Darkest Hour (Hearts of Iron 2 mod game) with Kaiserreich mod :)

Hum, I will surely finish Deadlight, and continue my first playthrough of Fire Emblem Fates (Ah, not a GoG game... Even not a PC game^^)
Some Turok 1 (loving that remaster) and trying out Snapmap for DOOM. I might resume Star Fox Zero; halted it due to those hideous controls and because DOOM hehehe.
Cracking into some HoMM 1 - Surprisingly addictive :O
It's hot on France planet and my laptop is melting like an ice cream.
So i can't play big games because 5 years old is over retirement age in hardware industry ....

This week-end it will be:

Factorio- putting my towel in an infested desert like a real Starship Worker is a delight.

Stalker SOC with AMK mod- horrible sunburns, strange beverages, blurry mornings, panting all the time with mud in the face and some dudes that speaks strange languages ... and still not enough vacation time !

Master of Orion 2- because weird decisions of foreign powers doesn't matter especially when you can clone your frog looking people and recruit fleet leaders with 2 pairs of eyes and -20% in diplomacy skill.

Great summer in perspective !

None of the Sale purchases I'm afraid. I'm starting Jack Keane and I might try something else for flavour along the line... maybe Hitman.

ShadowWulfe: I had trouble figuring out how to get AOM working for HL, still haven't figured out what it wants under -game.
Ah, sorry, can't help you there.
