Same as last week. I'm hoping to finish Firewatch but I realized a little too late that you can open all the supply caches with the same code. Oops..so maybe an immediate replay is in order..

Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?! O_O
That explains so much.

For me it will probably be more Witcher 3, a bit of World of Warships, last weekend a spent a good amount of time with Banished, I think I might just into that a bit more and try to get back into Subnautica.

Recently learned that Portia is going 1.0 on the 15th and the price will bump from $20 to $30. It put the fire underneath me to try the demo on the Steam page. I'm glad I did 'cause man is this game charming as heck. Fun art direction and catchy soundtrack with a myriad of crafting systems under the hood. Reminds me a lot of Rune Factory.

Also learned that Klei's latest Hot Lava is dropping out of beta (as of yesterday). It's a first-person parkour runner set in late 80's/early 90's where you play a cartoon action figure zipping around in everyday environments (think Toy Story). I knew this was legit before I even started playing, based on the 5 min. intro cinematic. JHC these guys have presentation on lock-down.

DUSK continues to be my quick action quick fix. Still can't get over how fast & fluid this one feels.

Some combination of the following

Final Fantasy XIV

Dragon Age: Origins

Burnout Paradise

Yeah, I must of not been paying attention when Delilah explained that since I was under the impression that you needed to find clues for the other cashe codes.

I am heading out of town to my mother's house so I will be taking the Switch whihhc means I will be playing

Valkyrie Chronicles 4

instead of Persona 5 which I am trying to finish but I can't really take the PS4 with me.

Portia

Had my eye on this for a while, my kind of game by the looks. It's tempting to pick it up while it's cheaper but I think I'll hold off until the console release. Probably PS4, but a Switch is so tempting for games like this.

Firewatch is on my Watch List so I feel like I should try really hard to remember this.

Not a lot of gaming time for me this weekend, so for Space Game Junkie, I'll be trying...whatever this is:

For myself, I hope to get a little more time with:

Should be a good weekend overall.

Hoping for a lot of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, some Fallout 76, and some dabbling in the latest Game Pass games that I have downloaded. And maaaaybe I'll find some time to strap into PSVR and start Astro Bot Rescue Mission, though finding time for VR with a 6-week old in the house is challenging.

Started a new Diablo 3 game last night (campaign mode) with the Necromancer on the Switch. Will be playing some of my Android games as well since portability is primary for me right now.

Probably still working out whether I am enjoying myself playing X4 !

Maybe not much gaming this weekend, since we're watching a niece and nephew for most of the day Saturday, plus there some important playoff football watching that needs to be done. But when I can, I'm going to keep chipping away at Chapter 3 in

I might punch some people for a few rounds as

and if I can find a few consecutive hours to sit down, I may try to finish this in one sitting since just got it for free on Epic:

Spoiler:

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and What Remains of Edith Finch

You play as Ganandorf?! But, but...he's the bad guy!!

I will be continuing with
IMAGE(https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images//2018/01/icon06.jpg/RPSS/resize/760x-1/format/jpg/quality/70)
which I am quite enjoying, but not in the way I expected. It looks like a cheery action platformer but in fact it's the story that is the main draw for me at the moment. About 4 hours in, I'm not exactly sure where it's headed, which is unusual. It was a PS Plus freebie last month.

Spoiler:

Iconoclasts

And I'll probably start

which was going to be my holiday game before I got sidetracked. Keen to dig in after seeing it in so many GOTY lists!

But no one else has that satisfying STOMP.

That’s not healthy! I’ve been there and I completely empathize, but please take care of yourself!

Thanks I'm trying to finish up as much of my thesis as I can before my new job starts in a few weeks, so in a way I brought it upon myself.

I’m playing Lumines on my Switch whenever I have a good block of time for it. I missed it on the PSP but I’m surprised at how much I’m loving it now.

Other than that, I’m pushing through a small mission or two a night in Destiny 2, trying to clear the story content.

Red Dead Redemption 2. The last chapter I think. So good
@comfort
I missed that PS+ freebie? Upset.

After writing here about how much I loved both Nex Machina and Resogun when I played them last year (both of them made it to my GOTY list), ClockworkHouse suggested checking out Alienation, which is what I did today. I played the first two missions, and had a great time. This is clearly the precursor for Nex Machina, and I can see how Housemarque refined everything and upped the pace and sheer madness from Alienation to Nex Machina. As ClockworkHouse already anticipated, I don't think Alienation is as amazing as the other two games, but only two missions in I already think it was worth the money I paid for it, and I am very excited to continue playing, so good call, ClockworkHouse!

It's meant to be fun? Ohhh, well I'm definitely at the intriguing puzzle stage. Maybe fun comes next...

At some point I'm sure the fun will be added, likely after an expansion or two at most.

For adventure club, with the boy...

Chronicles of Crime.

My itinerary is full with non-gaming stuff this weekend, so I'll likely only be playing Timespinner on my Vita in the small breaks between stuff.

Witcher 3 is the only real sure fire hit, but I've been trying to get back to playing some of my games in progress, so we'll see.

This weekend I will mainly be playing New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. (It's so much fun!)

I will also be playing Okami HD to break that up a little. I've made a lot of progress in the last week, and there's considerably less endless dialogue now.

Hot damn, Portia is the real deal.

So good.

BOOM! HEADSHOT!!!

VCD is over 3 years old but I just learned that this spy-movie influenced mega-map released only a month ago. Really fun to learn the devs are still invested in the game.
