Weekend Gaming Lineup: What the Industry is Playing Right Now
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Rock Paper Shotgun shares their weekend gaming plans, featuring deep dives into Mortal Shell 2, survival hits, and indie management sims ahead of Gamescom.
The weekend is finally here, and the team at Rock Paper Shotgun has been sharing what is actually taking up their screen time between cough drops, birthday parties, and upcoming convention prep. While a few team members are battling through lingering summer colds, gaming remains the ultimate cure and the go to escape. From sinking hours into demanding Soulslike titles to unwinding with indie strategy, the rotation right now is as eclectic as our collective backlog.
Mortal Shell 2 is pulling in serious hours for the crew, despite the usual internet discourse trying to temper the launch hype. Reviewers are diving back in to test out wild weapon hybrids like the axe katana while cutting through swaths of goons. Meanwhile, other writers are losing track of the workday entirely thanks to Sandustry, a resource management trip involving melting mountain ice caps to fund a gold panning operation, alongside the chaotic vertical engineering of CleanFall.
Of course, massive survival shooters like STALKER 2 are still demanding weeks of dedication from anyone brave enough to brave the Zone. As we gear up for Gamescom next week, squeezing in every available session of our current obsessions is priority number one. Now it is your turn to share the load, so let us know what is sitting in your active launcher this weekend across PC, console, or mobile.
