Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs (Steam Deck: “Verified”) and soon, Switch 2Current goal: See if Night City can seduce meGenerally, here in the Weekend Guide, we write about games we already know that we like, that we’re looking forward to spending more time with, and that we can enthusiastically recommend. But this weekend, what I’ll be doing is enthusiastically revisiting, with fresh eyes, a game I didn’t care for much the first time I finished it: Cyberpunk 2077.

Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Windows PCs (Steam Deck: “Playable”)Current goal: Vibe out in the dystopiaWhether I’m dragging out the ending of Clair Obscur or frequently hopping into sessions of Doom: The Dark Ages, most of the games I’ve been playing lately depend on my direct, undiverted attention to dodge and parry. I love that challenge, but I could use a break.

Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs (Steam Deck: YMMV)Current goal: Finish the storyI like trash. Am I saying the new Doom game is trash? No. It’s fun! But I don’t think anyone’s fooling themselves into thinking it’s fine art, is what I’m getting at.

Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs (Steam Deck YMMV)Current goal: Actually progress the storySo here’s how most of my evenings went this week: I played a bunch of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Guess what my weekend evenings will consist of? Well, hopefully they’ll be a bit different since I have ambitions to actually move the story along. These past few days, I’ve just been grinding on the hardest difficulty for hours.

Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows (Steam Deck N/A)Current goal: Actually master dodge and parryI find something new to like about Clair Obscur every time I fire it up. I’m also not alone in finding this French-made turn-based RPG alluring. Kotaku’s very own Kenneth Shepard has given the game some well-deserved praise this week, and I’m hearing people spontaneously talking about it and having friends ask me about it with increasing frequency, so it seems to be catching on.
