1000xResist

Play it on: Switch, Windows (Steam Deck: YMMV)
Buy it from: Humble Bundle
Current goal: Like games again

I have a problem where every so often I just get into a rut where I don’t play that many games. Sure, I’ll boot up Overwatch 2 and do my dailies, but broadly, I stop playing most of what passes through the public consciousness. Part of it is growing up and having more responsibilities, but a lot of the time I just can’t muster the willpower to play a game. I make up for it at the end of the year when GOTY lists are coming together, and I’m trying to be better about that right now by playing 1000xResist, an adventure game that has come highly recommended by people I respect and trust. Everyone is swearing to me its melancholy, gay as hell sci-fi drama is going to hook me, and even in the first hour, I can see how this might pull me in. Every now and then you need an incredible experience that will remind you why you like video games in the first place. I’m hoping 1000xResist can be that for me right now. — Kenneth Shepard

And that wraps our picks for the weekend. Happy gaming!
