The beginning of the year is always quiet, with those going back to work after the holidays, but things are starting to happen again. That’s good. I say as if I know I have not had more games than I wanted to play.
What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we click on!

I have not quite decided, but this weekend will be the further surprising adventures of Ian in Hitman 3 or more Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. So the theme is going to be murder.

I started a new farm in Stardew Valley, but did cell phone. Through this, I only play a day or two at a time, rather than power through entire seasons. Quite a nice pass. The urge was also removed to min-max. Much of my farm (the more-one, of course) is beautiful pastures and woodland.
Kol
This weekend, I’m mostly killing the same people over and over again in Hitman 3.

Again, I spend more time with Ian Hitman, who has more than enough murders to commit. Spelunky 2 calls too, but I’m really scared of the game. I just want to beat the first level, that’s all I ask.

Hitman 3 is out, but I do not think I want to spend the money on it now. However, it’s been a good week for smaller, cheaper releases, between resource manager Dyson Sphere Program, the Zelda-like Ocean’s Heart and roguelite Skul: The Hero Slayer leaving early access. I will pick one of these at a time and try.
Imogen
I recently played some of the old PS2 Ratchet & Clank games after watching it accelerate at AGDQ. I will not try to play it that fast, but I want to see if I can earn all the skill points. I’ll probably play Minecraft too, my friends and I made a cottage on an iceberg next to cute polar bears (!).
Jake
I messed with Hitman 3 this week and definitely want to finish it this weekend. Part of me wants to try to do the challenges for the more difficult problems, the rest wants to dress me up as a cowboy and kill my enemies with a mop. We’ll see where the mood takes me.

It’s Hitman 3 weekend, honey. I finally got my gloves on this one, and it’s that good. I squeezed someone into a grape crusher yesterday. I lead Hitman 3 for the site, but it’s one of those games I can not stop playing in my spare time either. What an absolute scare of my favorite naked barcode boy.

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 one more province on my to-do list before I have properly conquered the whole of England, as well as two more targets on my Order murder list to bump into. It’s over first, as they say.
Nate
In a moment of feverish inspiration during the recording of the podcast this week, I purchased and downloaded the entire Dishonored series, live on air. So I guess I should probably follow that wild moment and play it, right?
Ollie
I’m very interested in the early access to Dyson Sphere program, after hearing it compared to Factorio and Satisfactory. I have no idea if these comparisons have any merit, but I will surely find out.
But you, dear reader, what are you playing?
