What are you playing this weekend, Destructoid? June 28-29
Good weekend, Destructoid! I am typing this fast before I need to rush out for a busy couple of days of walking and gaming, so let's cut to the chase and discuss what our plans are for the weekend! A fair bit is going on, but for the majority of trainers out there, there is one big unskippable event taking place that'll give people a lot to do. If you aren't into that, though, there are a handful of other games worth checking out. Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Global is happening from 10am until 6pm local time and you know that's where I'll be spending most my time trying to get all the Shiny Pokémon possible and tick some things off my living dex checklist, but I'm aware the game isn't everyone's cup of tea. Outside of that, some huge games have been released this week, like Death Stranding 2, and the weekend is the perfect opportunity to begin the grind there and see what the game is like and if the buzz surrounding it is real or not. It's a good weekend to be into indie games as well, with PEAK, Ruffy and the Riverside, and plenty of other titles still around for anyone looking for something a bit more casual to pass their time. I also know a few gamers locked into Persona 5: The Phantom X, but the gacha mechanic and other aspects of the game don't cut it for me. I'd prefer to wait for a full-blooded sequel than this phone game made bigger than it should be. Elden Ring: Nightreign also apparently got new content I'll need to find time to check out when I can get a few group of friends together, though I'm still waiting on the future duos update to be able to play it with my brother instead of hooking up with randoms all the time. So there is plenty to be played this weekend, but let me know in the comments what your plan is! The post What are you playing this weekend, Destructoid? June 28-29 appeared first on Destructoid.
