As the weekend approaches, the staff at Rock Paper Shotgun have outlined their gaming intentions, a diverse list spanning multiple genres and platforms. Edwin plans to dive into a tactical RPG, considering either The Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children or Othercide on the Nintendo Switch, depending on the latter's interface suitability for the handheld.
Jeremy is torn between continuing with Black Flag Resynced and returning to Lords of the Fallen, having temporarily set aside his gothic knightly duties for a pirate escapade. He also hinted at a secret post-apocalyptic game he'll be preparing guides for, with potential clues appearing in August's release schedule.
James has been engrossed in Silksong on his Steam Deck, playing it during a recent flight instead of the pre-loaded Replaced. He acknowledged a desire to play more of Replaced, however.
Mark intends to finally try Assassin's Creed Rogue, which followed Black Flag and aimed to expand on its naval combat mechanics. He also noted he has missed several Assassin's Creed titles, including Valhalla, Origins, and Syndicate, and has yet to finish the remastered Assassin's Creed 3, which he started years ago.
Meanwhile, other members of the staff, including Julian, Dion, and Callum, are not participating in the weekend gaming discussion. The publication also extended the question to its readers, asking what games they will be playing over the weekend.
