Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 12-13)

Hooray for the weekend! You'll find plenty of things to check out on Xbox over the next couple of days, including a few new Xbox Game Pass titles, a bunch of Free Play Days offerings, some great deals on the Xbox Store, and multiple new releases that we've been enjoying recently - including the 10/10 Metaphor: ReFantazio from Atlus!

Here's what we're playing this weekend:

I've been playing a lot of Undisputed this week for our review here at Pure Xbox, and although it didn't score higher than a 7 in the end, I'm definitely excited for some more fights this weekend - probably offline rather than online though.

Beyond that, I'm tempted to finally get back to Baldur's Gate 3 - it's such a daunting game and I've been so busy this year that it's just been neglected. Whether I'll actually get around to playing it remains to be seen, but it's the intention!

Have a good weekend, folks.

I'm about 25-30 hours into Metaphor: ReFantazio now, and wow, I’ll probably spend most of my weekend diving even deeper into it. The game is phenomenal—top-tier greatness—and I’m completely hooked.

That said, I’ve recently started Little Nightmares II as a bit of a palette cleanser from my JRPG fixation. Honestly, I can’t believe it took me so long to pick it up, especially since I’m such a big fan of the first one. For some reason, I mistakenly thought the sequel was co-op, and that idea put me off. But I was wrong! Little Nightmares II is a perfectly spooky little adventure through a hauntingly beautiful world.

Oh, and if I can convince a friend, I might end up jumping into Monster Hunter: Rise as well. Anyway, happy gaming, folks!
