Rain, rain go away

The weekends do come around quick, but given that this is inexplicably a three-day holiday in the UK, you won't hear us complaining. In fact, between the football and the final barbecues of the summer, we'll be squeezing in plenty of gaming. Here's what we're playing.

I've been having fun hopping between dozens of different indie games of late. I'm not playing them all to completion unless they really grab me, but I'm enjoying seeing what the likes of Alone With You, Bears Can't Drift?!, and Hue have to offer. Not everything I'm playing is great, but it's nice to have a bit of variety.

Good news, everybody! I finally got my exotic sword in Destiny. Now, I know I'm close to year past the point where this would've been of actual interest to anyone, but it's certainly a red letter day in the Stinton household. To mark this momentous occasion, I declare Monday to be a national holiday in the UK, so I can spend a long weekend testing the edge of my sword in Destiny, and showing that I really care about Aug lives in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

After many months of playing just small bits of Persona 4 Golden here and there, I've finally finished it. But not having that to play whenever I felt like it after so long, felt weird. I needed more Persona in my life, so until Persona 5 makes its way to release, I'm going to have to rely on Persona 4: Dancing All Night to fill that void, along with a smattering of other games, like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which I've still not spent as much time as I'd like with.

I'm really into Rebel Galaxy at the moment – it's a streamlined space sim and a relaxing weekend game. I also want to pick up The Valley, mainly due to "first-person Sonic the Hedgehog game" blurbs in the press.

I'm warping back to No Man's Sky this weekend as I continue my slow but steady progress through its gargantuan galactic map. To break it up, I'll be lobbing grannies, bananas, and flatulent sheep around in the return to form that is Worms W.M.D.

This weekend I will be playing as much Call of Duty: Black Ops III as I can, helping the community get the Prizefighter Gloves!
