What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 495 | Push Square

We're nearly into The Spooky Month, otherwise known as October, otherwise known as the month with all the games. There's a lot of stuff on the horizon to be excited about, but what are we playing in the meantime? Time to find out.

I'm still on a review, but I found a bit of time to boot up the revamped Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, and wow, it does finally feel like the game it was meant to be! Add to that today's big Baldur's Gate 3 patch, and there is very little reason for me to come up for air.

I've been on review duty for what feels like an age, and that won't be changing this weekend. I can't talk about the game I'm covering (yet!), but I can reveal my plans to play around in Cyberpunk 2077, which really has consumed me over the last few weeks.

I'll probably play Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways this weekend. That, and tell myself I'll finally finish Tears of the Kingdom before playing Street Fighter 6 all weekend.

This weekend is all about Lies of P! Really beautiful game that is kicking my ass!

And in the meantime, I will play some Powerslave/Exhumed (Switch) and some Painkiller: Black Edition on the Steam Deck!

Happy gaming!

I finished up starfield during the week, will wait for some mods to replay.

So going to give some of the stuff that dropped on Extra a try

Throwing goblins into other goblins on Baldurs Gate 3.

I guess I've been playing too much — My TV developed those wretched vertical lines on the right hand side of the screen last night. Absolutely brutal.
I'll be on my way in to the tv repair place soon.

When I'm back though, Baldur's Gate, Age of Ashes, then South Africa v Ireland.

I just finished Crisis Core but still have things to do for the plat. Man, it was a lot better than I expected. Nibelheim onwards is very good, except Genesis stuff, but it's the finale in particular where you think it's all cinematics after beating the final boss but then you end up playing as Zack again as you fight legions of Shinra infantry, knowing you're doomed. How they use the roulette wheel gameplay element as part of the story and emotional arc in that scene… Very moving and very Kojima-esque (like
