Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



It's a bit unfair to other games that right now <span class="bold">No Man's Sky</span> is dominating all the online and watercooler discussions, isn't it? But there's so much stuff to talk about in there! While we're on the subject, though, what's your favorite space-themed game ever? Is it No Man's Sky? A roguelike? Perhaps a 4X strategy. Or a simulator. Whatever it is, let's talk about it!


How does your gaming weekend look, by the way? Go on, share your Weekend Playlist with us. It can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!

Looking for some additional inspiration? The GOG.com releases of the week might help:

- You can design and ride your own <span class="bold">Bounty Train</span> through the unforgiving Old West.
- You can expand your Ashes of the Singularity tactics in the new maps included in the <span class="bold">Oblivion DLC</span>.
- You can go back to your RTS roots and let the four alien races duke it out in <span class="bold">War Wind</span> and <span class="bold">War Wind II</span>.
- You can show the Olympian gods who's boss by stomping on their arrogant heads with your angry <span class="bold">Okhlos</span>.
- You can venture into the heavy-metal lands of legend and shred some demons in the re-launched <span class="bold">Slain: Back From Hell</span>.



So, GOGasaurs, what are you playing this weekend?
Favourite space themed game must be...I want to say...it probably is...Master of Orion 2.

And as for the weekend...I can totally see some No Man's Sky-in in there with some Hearthstone and Overwatch thrown in for good measure.

Yes, I'm on a Blizzard Binge....

skeletonbow: I had never played any of those games before, but about a month and a half ago I installed it to beta test some Galaxy bits with it and ended up playing it for 3.5 hours according to Galaxy time tracking. :) Interesting game although I never fully did get the hang of it. I did get enough to want to play it again from scratch though. :)
You _really_ should.

I've "lost" soooo many hours to that game...super good memories!

Treat yourself to a good cup of coffee and fire it up, you'll not regret it :)
Mandatory

...but it doesn't exactly qualify, soooo I guess Mass Effect 2?
I would go for the entire trilogy but the third part left a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth, even though it had its moments. Runner-up: the original Starcraft + Brood War. I've spent countless LAN hours in that thing.

I just completed The Darkness II yesterday night (ok but nothing special) and now I'm in full Deus Ex: Mankind Divided anticipation mode. Might try to keep myself cyberpunked with some Shadowrun Returns until then.

fishbaits: Did you enjoy your sausage?
Very much, thank you!

Also, the slow, deliberate pace of Shadowrun Returns proved to be the perfect warm-up, before I get to so all shooty-shooty on those who keep Mankind Divided.
