Greetings and salutations, my friendly bots, and welcome back to the “Whatcha been playing?” portion of our site that has been dead and buried until now because I felt like bringing it back, no matter what my corporate overlords think. I’m here to revel in your choices this week of games, and what you plan to play this weekend to put your feet up after a long week of work or school—or both.
It’s been a weird week for releases this time around, with an obvious game coming to mind for weekend gaming ahead. Granted, there’s still plenty of things on offer as we look forward to Switch 2’s release in three weeks (if, like me, you were lucky enough to get a pre-order in.)
But let’s quit yapping and discuss games, shall we?
Doom The Dark Ages is where I expect a lot of you Game Pass owners to be spending your time this weekend. My fellow Bots on-site have been playing and gushing over it for some time now, which has made me a bit envious while I slog away at the backend, trying to find things to talk about. It feels like a super fun time where I can let my head go empty as I slay demons to heavy metal and ride on dragons. What’s not to love about that?
I’m not a big Doom fan myself, but the rest of the releases this week are leaving little offerings. So perhaps it’s time to go back and check out my backlog of titles I have still to play? The Precinct appears to be a fun indie game, but I also need to go and upgrade my Palworld base ahead of this summer’s bigger new expansion. I really wish Sonic Rumble had launched when it was intended to on May 8, as I feel I’d have been grinding away on that on mobile right about now.
I find myself a little lost, honestly, so I’m curious if there’s any hidden gems you’ve been playing that you want to highlight for me, or someone else, to play this weekend if you aren’t ripping and tearing away. If you are, leave it in the comments!
(Please. I need to some variety in my life)
