But mostly I will be trying to pick all the local blackberries before they turn to dust, and throwing them into a big pie that will give me constipation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>James:<\/strong><br \/>It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve truly enjoyed a matey game that isn\u2019t Deep Rock or Darktide, but shatter my shins if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/games\/big-walk\">Big Walk<\/a> isn\u2019t just an absolute treat. A deeply clever puzzler, with such a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/big-walk-simulates-the-strange-childlike-sensation-of-being-unexpectedly-separated-from-your-friends-and-the-joy-and-relief-of-finding-your-way-back\">wonderful understanding<\/a> of how mundane interactions can \u2013 in the right conditions \u2013 become meaty, memorable challenges. I like it so much I\u2019m willing to endure the most daunting test of all: trying to find when five thirtysomethings are all available at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Callum:<\/strong><br \/>I\u2019m down in Felixstowe for the weekend to go to a BBQ, so no games for me. I will be too busy fighting drunk men for a seat on the train, only to inevitably lose and stand in a crowded corridor that smells of pee and the faint aroma of a mango passion fruit vape a teenager is &#8220;discretely&#8221; hitting in the toilet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Julian:<\/strong><br \/><em>Went on holiday, leaving only a note that reads &#8220;Don&#8217;t you write about this note, especially not in italics&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeremy:<\/strong><br \/>After very much bouncing off of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/games\/beast-of-reincarnation\">Beast of Reincarnation<\/a> (which, in my admittedly harsh opinion, felt almost like a game that was designed by an LLM spurting out ideas for something that haphazardly incorporated everything popular in video games these days), I am glad to be playing another embargoed title where parries are just as important, but the overall experience is 100 times better. If this momentum keeps up, it might be a contender for my GOTY; we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ollie:<\/strong><br \/>My lips are sealed by embargoes, alas. My regular gaming buddies are getting increasingly frustrated by my absence. But it turns out this game I may or may not be working on is <em>really goddamn good<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dion:<\/strong><br \/><em>Last seen muttering something to Julian about notes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark:<\/strong><br \/>I fancy a bit of rallycross in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/games\/dirt-rally-20\">Dirt Rally 2.0<\/a>. A chill hunting and fishing-focused bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/games\/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim\">Skyrim<\/a> may also happen. Also, maybe a ride around Night City on a metro to check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/cyberpunk2077\/mods\/32307\">new Cyberpunk mod<\/a>. Basically, I have no set plan.
