Ahead of the upcoming Gamescom trade show, editorial team members are balancing trade show preparation and personal downtime with a diverse selection of video games this weekend.
Action titles and guide coverage dominate the schedule for several team members. Mortal Shell 2 features prominently, with staff putting in hours for walkthroughs and continuing playthroughs despite mixed online discourse surrounding the soulslike sequel. Meanwhile, extensive sessions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 remain a priority for writers catching up on major releases ahead of next week's event.
Indie titles have also captured significant interest within the team. The resource management title Sandustry quickly gained traction following internal recommendations, drawing in multiple players. Other notable mentions include CleanFall, an atmospheric indie game about a robotic maid constructing airships to traverse vertical landscapes.
Alongside their gaming schedules, several writers are preparing for the upcoming busy convention week by recovering from seasonal illnesses, clearing household chores, and attending family gatherings.
