Something for the Weekend

It’s been the day of travel to get home after a friend’s wedding for me, and since getting back through the front door, I’ve made the most of my lack of energy by zoning out and watching the 24hr Rennen Nurburgring. You might have had other priorities today, though, whether it was watching sports or venturing into the hot new release of Subnautica 2.

In the News This Week

There were some intriguing announcements this week.

Elsewhere, Miguel dove into the early access release of Super Alloy Crush and enjoyed its Mega Man X inspirations and evolutions, while Steve was encouraged by what he saw from The Sinking City 2 and its shift towards survival horror.

Dom whipped up some impressions of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2, and was suitably impressed by the port, while I thought that Battlefield 6 Season 3 was getting back on track with its remake of Golmud Railway.
