The beginning of the year is always smooth, with the developers returning to work after the holiday, but things are starting to happen again. That’s nice. I say as if, you know, I no longer had more games to play than time to play them.
What are you going to play this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!

I haven’t entirely decided, but this weekend will be Ian’s amazing adventures in Hitman 3 or more Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. So, the topic is going to be murder.

I started a new farm in Stardew Valley, but on my cell phone. It makes me play just a day or two at a time, instead of being able to play for entire seasons. A very pleasant pace. Removed the desire for min-max as well. Many of my farm (that of the lake, of course) are beautiful pastures and woods.
Colm
This weekend, I will be killing mostly the same people in Hitman 3.
Ed
Again, I’m spending more time with Ian Hitman, who still has a lot of murders to commit. Spelunky 2 also pays, but I’m really scared of the game. I just want to win the first level, that’s all I ask.

Hitman 3 was released, but I don’t think I want to spend money on it right now. This has been a good week for smaller and cheaper game releases, however, between resource manager Dyson Sphere Program, Zelda-like Ocean’s Heart and roguelite Skul: The Hero Slayer leaving early access. I will choose one of these on a whim and try.
Imogen
I’ve been playing some of the old PS2 Ratchet & Clank games recently, after seeing them demolished in speedruns at AGDQ. I won’t try to play them that fast, but I want to see if I can get all the skill points. I’m also probably going to play Minecraft, my friends and I made a home on an iceberg the other day next to some cute polar bears (!).
Jake
I have been messing with Hitman 3 this week and would definitely like to finish it over the weekend. Part of me wants to face the most difficult challenges, the rest wants to dress like a cowboy and beat my enemies to death with a mop. Let’s see where my mood takes me.

It’s Hitman 3 weekend, baby. I finally put my gloves on this one, and it feels so good to release. I crushed someone in a grape crusher yesterday. I’m directing Hitman 3 to the site, but it’s one of those games that I also can’t stop playing in my spare time. What an absolute banger from my favorite bald boy from the barcode.
Katharine
I finished Assassin’s Creed Valhalla earlier this week, and yet my answer is still Assassin’s Creed Valhalla? I may have completed the main storyline, but there is still one more county on my to-do list before I conquered all of England, as well as two more targets on my Order’s murder list to eliminate. It doesn’t end until it ends, as they say.
Nate
In a moment of feverish inspiration while recording this week’s podcast, I bought and downloaded the entire Dishonored series, live in the air. So I suppose I should probably go on that wild moment and play them, huh?
Ollie
I am very interested in trying the early access to the Dyson Sphere Program, having heard it compared to Factorio and Satisfactory. I have no idea if these comparisons have any merit, but I’m sure I’ll find out.
But you, dear reader, what are you playing?
