I've been playing a lot of Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble recently. Despite the obvious multiplayer issues, the adventure mode features some of the best stages I've ever seen in the franchise. The new update adds even more, so I reckon it'll keep me pretty busy for the next few days.

I will play more Dragon Age: The Veilguard this weekend. I wish I wasn't so damn disappointed with it, but I still enjoy running around and picking things up. I played too [REDACTED]which isn't out yet, but I put MANY hours into it, and Mindcop, which is a very weird little detective game that has a brain surfing minigame in it. I recommend it, I think!

December arrives on Sunday, so time is running out fast and GOTY is approaching. As such, I hope to dive into Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Braid, Loco Motive, and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. I'm also hoping to try Mission in Snowdriftland. The developers were nice enough to send the code and I like the idea of playing a level a day during December.
Must dash – these games will not play themselves! Have a great time, folks.

Damn, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a real game huh? I have a bunch of things I want to check off before GOTY season opens the door and reveals how few games I've actually played this year, but I keep getting drawn in by a remake of a 40-year-old RPG. I might try to measure it this weekend.
I dipped my toe into Loco Motive and really liked what I saw, so I'm hoping to get some of that this weekend as well. I can always hum Sugiyama's city theme while I do it…

This weekend I'll be watching Gravy Queen and visiting The Traveling Trolley… Oh, you mean outside of Stardew Valley? Very little. 1.6 is great for all its mayo-drinking possibilities, but it also got me back into the comfortable rhythm of the game. I've already got two more dogs and am saving up for one more – although with a 40,000 ga puppy, Concerned Ape really makes you work for it.
I partner just downloaded Snake Pass on Xbox and it looks like fun so I might slip into that if I need a break from the farm (doubtful).

That day has finally come! I 5 year old has been asking for Echoes of Wisdom since before it even came out – ever since we finished Link's Awakening and he saw an ad on the lock screen (well played, Nintendo). Not wanting him to take new games for granted, we started with a savings plan. 10 weeks later and it's time to break out the piggy bank so I'm ready for the weekend. Any extra downtime will make me split up on the later genius levels of Baba Is You, but otherwise, let's make the beds!

Guess what, there are both worlds 7 in Thors and chapter 7 in Gundam Breaker 4! I believe this is finally the true endgame. We hope for good progress Carpathian Night starring Bela Lugosia game that often boldly goes full throttle Castlevania and never apologizes for it. Some sweet physical arrivals: Excessive evolution and Raiden Nova it should make me very unpopular with my neighbors. I should also be able to clean Europea game that keeps getting more beautiful. I'm still collecting footage of all the games on The Spectrum, currently playing some really favorite cult classics like Exolon, Way of the Exploding Fist and Lords of the midnight. The last one has no music, which is the perfect excuse to play Howard Shore's “The Lord of the Rings” soundtrack while in it.
The game of the week is finally here Stray! I picked up this cat simulator on STEAM a long time ago but never got around to it hoping to have a Switch version soon. Well, it worked! I've always been a cat guy, having a virtual cat under your control, complete with all the mischief-making capabilities included, is too good to pass up. The game world is also very interesting.
That's what we have planned for the weekend, what about you? Let us know in the next poll which games you plan to launch in the next few days.
