As is tradition, the Rock Paper Shotgun team is sharing their gaming plans for the upcoming weekend. This week's roundup features a variety of genres, from wrestling management sims to open-world adventures.
Callum has discovered Total Extreme Wrestling IX, a wrestling general manager simulator in the vein of Football Manager. He anticipates spending the weekend immersed in the game, aiming to build a successful independent British wrestling brand, despite the potential for low salaries for star talent like John Cena.
Mark plans to dedicate time to a couple of games for which he has received review codes, ensuring he can adequately cover them. Additionally, he may return to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's island-hopping elements, having recently completed a playthrough.
James has seemingly been engrossed in Denshattack!, so much so that the team has humorously suggested he has "transformed into a locomotive."
Edwin, fresh from attending Tennocon and experiencing Warframe and Soulframe, is opting for a more relaxed weekend focused on rest.
Jeremy will also be revisiting Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, enjoying its pirate-themed escapades. He plans a trip to Folkestone, a seaside town in southeast England, where he might reflect on the open-world pirate fantasy presented in the game.
Ollie is on the hunt for a cat cafe, looking forward to an experience filled with feline companions.
Julian, amidst wedding preparations, hopes to find time for The Incident At Galley House, a puzzle game recommended by Jon Ingold of Inkle. He's also juggling the mental gymnastics of remembering wedding guests and their roles.
The team also extends the question to readers: what games will you be playing this weekend?
