Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? – Issue 382

The scariest thing about assembling WAYP every week is how quickly it comes around. Nevertheless, an uneventful week has concluded. Regular readers will know the drill: here’s what we’re playing.

I’ve just started Returnal, so I’ll be playing much more of that this weekend. The first boss is currently blocking my progress so I want it beat as soon as possible.

It’s a quiet gaming weekend for me, because I’m out celebrating an anniversary, and a family member’s birthday. Nevertheless, I’d like to end my mini Insomniac Games celebration month on a high note before June ends, hopefully by earning a Platinum from a few 60 frames-per-second PS5 blasts at 2016’s Ratchet & Clank.

I (finally) wrapped up the original Mass Effect earlier this week, waving goodbye to my beautiful alien colleagues in the process. The issue is I’m now left in that dreaded liminal space we all fear where I’m forced to decide what I’m going to play next. I recently jumped back into Hitman 3, but I should probably start Ratchet & Clank. Oh, what about Half-Life: Alyx? Mario Golf? Katamari Damacy Reroll? The possibilities are endless, and yet only one outcome is certain: it’s Katamari. The answer is always Katamari. I’m ironing my cylindrical green headgear as we speak.

That’s what we’re playing this weekend, then, but this feature is really all about you. What are you playing? Let us know in the comments section below.
