What's TheGamer Staff Playing Whis Weekend?

thegamer.com:

It's the weekend and that means it's time to stick a Metallica CD in your boombox, grab your Nerf guns, and run around the house jumping on furniture and shooting little suction-cupped foam darts smack onto your pals' foreheads. You know, like you do every weekend.

But, if all your friends are out of town for some reason, you can always give Metal: Hellsinger a try. The rhythm FPS replaces the boombox with boomsticks, and your living room with the fires of hell, but otherwise, the Game Pass day one release is basically the same. Some of our editors will be checking that out this weekend, so pray that they have the strength do defeat all the hellspawn it throws at them. Other editors will be checking out new indie RPGs, old triple-A RPGs, and big MMORPGs.

Cosmo D’s work (Tales from Off-Peak City Vol. 1, The Norwood Suite, Off-Peak, and, to a lesser extent, Saturn V) all takes place in the Off-Peak universe, a world that feels extremely heightened and surreal, while also feeling grounded, concrete, and specific. The games share characters, like the late, great musician, Peter Norwood, and Murial, the masked fixer who drops you for your mission at Club Low. I’ve only put about an hour in so far, but I’m expecting to dive deep into this, Triangle Strategy, and Cyberpunk 2077 this weekend.
