GoNintendo Thought: What are you playing this weekend?

Thought I'd bring back an old Friday feature for today's post. Will it be a weekly thing? I'm not sure...I guess that all depends on you guys! If you like talking about what you've been playing, then I'll keep checking back in every week! As always, thanks for reading.

It's the end of another work week, my friends. Congrats on making it through! I thought I'd drop in to see what you guys plan on playing this weekend. Of course, I'll share what I'm getting into as well. Or at least, what I plan to get into. You know how the weekend tends to disappear in the blink of an eye, so who knows what I'll actually get to!

Some of you know that I'm a huge fan of Shantae, which is why you might be surprised to hear that I haven't spent too much time with Shantae and the Seven Sirens. That's not because I'm uninterested, of course! I've just been super busy with work in general, and there's been very little free time to spend on games. All I can tell you is that Shantae and the Seven Sirens is at the top of my list, and I plan to make some decent headway into the game. I can't wait to dive back in!

I've also been playing RUINER for review, and I made some decent progress last night. I'd love to tell you more about that, but unfortunately I am under embargo. I'll be bringing you a review of the game late next week. All I can say right now is that I'm very excited to share my thoughts!

Hardly a week goes by where I'm not playing Friday the 13th: The Game Ultimate Slasher Edition. It's been such a blast to play with friends. We do our best to get a sizable group together when we play, which always leads to a ton of stupid fun. Whether I'm playing as Jason or a counselor, I'm always having fun with this one. I've been really shocked with just how engaging this one is after putting 60+ hours into it. With the right people and online play, you're always in for a great time.

One last game I want to get time in with this weekend is Horizon Zero Dawn. I had been playing the title awhile back, but I eventually grew tired of it. There was something about it that was bogging down the journey for me, but I could never put my finger on it. I was into the story, and I wanted to keep playing for that reason, but I eventually felt like playing was more of a chore than an activity I was enjoying. Seeing the sequel announced for PS5 has made me want to give things another go. Perhaps I'll find more fun the second time around.

That's what I plan on playing this weekend. Who knows, maybe some other titles will find their way into my list. What are you looking to play over the next couple of days?
