A quoi jouez-vous ce week-end? (24th Août)

Maintenant, let’s see what we’re going to be booting up this weekend, shall we..?

I’ve jumped back into the world of Silent Hill after watching the wonderful new trailer for the Silent Hill 2 remake. I’m playing the OG Silent Hill on the PS Vita at the moment, and y’know what, it’s aged surprisingly gracefully; arguably more so than the original Resident Evil. It still retains a nice sense of atmosphere and dread.

I’ve also recently decided to start a new playthrough of Pokémon Omega Ruby pour certaines raisons. I know that sounds like I did so begrudgingly, mais non, I just got the urge! I’m having fun with it, but I’m not sure how invested I’ll get in the coming days.

I have become entirely addicted to Kynseed. I think they’re intending to bring it to Switch some day, but for now, I’m playing on Steam Deck. It’s incredible! It’s by a couple of ex-Fable devs, and you can see a lot of the Fable DNA in there (so many fart jokes), but it’s also massively impressive how many systems and ideas they put into the game. It’s a real gem.

Since the release of Championnats du monde Nintendo: Édition NES, my weekends have consisted of shaving milliseconds off my speedruns in the game’s different modes until my thumbs get sore. It’s a title that has sunk its hooks in and kept me coming back.

I’ve just beaten the superb Metroid Prime remasterisé after chipping away at it for a while and am now turning my attention to Metroid: Le retour de Samus sur la 3DS (which would make a lovely Switch port). A friend also heaped high praise on Tuer la flèche and encouraged me to play it, so I’ll finally be giving that a whirl too!

This weekend I’ll be travelling a lot for the UK Bank Holiday, so I’m going to try and get 100% completion on super Mario Bros. Merveille to eat up that long passenger ride. Wonder has been my on-the-go game of choice since release.

When I’m settled on the campsite, it’s time to dish out the joycons and have some Worms multiplayer. 4-player skirmish in Worms W.M.D has been an enjoyable staple of group meetups lately.

Fandango sinistre seemed so inaccessible when I was a kid. Back in 1998, when I only had an N64, PC games were mysterious boxes in the corner of Electonics Boutique and HMV. I never got to play them.

Recently I picked up the Switch version in a sale. I expected a dry point and click, but exploring the fully 3D environments (bien, pre-rendered Resident-Evil-style backgrounds) is a pleasure. The writing is exceptional and full of character. Now I see why it’s considered a classic.

I haven’t played anything like it, and I’ll be playing more over the weekend. And I still want to finish the fun Dungeons of Dreadrock trop.

After polishing off Rainure de guerre this week, I’ve been on a bit of a tactics kick and have finally gone back to Mario + Lapins Crétins Étincelles d'Espoir with the intention to finally wrap it up. It’s got to be said, that game slaps. I’m focusing on the main story only for the time being, but I can see these side quests keeping me going for a little while yet.

Autre part, I’m hoping to spend a bit of time with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team on NSO. This was an absolute staple for me back in the day, so I’m excited to see whether I still vibe with it 18 des années plus tard.

Nothing beats unwinding after a stressful week with a cozy game, so that’s why I’m continuing my spooktacular murder mystery investigation in the eShop demo for Emio – The Smiling Man: Club des détectives Famicom. Hey, the definition of “cozy game” is different for everyone, okay? This multi-chapter demo is already delivering on everything I love about the FDC series — high-quality visuals, an intriguing narrative, and a heaping spoonful of chilling atmosphere. It’s got me champing at the bit for the full game’s release next week.

Once I’ve chewed through that all too quickly, I’ll probably fire up Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team sur Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online for more postgame shenanigans. Anyone who thinks every Pokémon game is too easy hasn’t experienced the raw anguish of spawning into a Monster House room on the 39th floor of a 40-floor dungeon. Soupir.
