Inspired by our Sony-bound friends over at Push Square, we figured we should let you all in on the secret, sexy lives of our tiny crew here on Steam Hype, and what we do once we leave for the weekend.
It's video games. We're probably going to be playing a lot of games. Maybe sexy games, but still games.
Still, lots of big releases this week, and some heavyweights to come soon - here's what we're trying to finish up before the next wave hits:
Dominic Tarason (Lead Staff Writer)
On the big games front, I'm planning on digging a bit deeper into Onimusha: Way of the Sword, although given its scale, I've basically zero chance of finishing it.
Beyond that, as I mentioned in my Hands On piece earlier today, I'm going to continue unravelling the surreal mysteries of Roman Sands: RE:Build, which fully has its hooks into me.
And lastly, I'm going to be returning to the almost-unknown but excellent REAL WEB LEGENDS: Carter's Quest, which I can only describe as a fusion of Zelda 64 and Devil May Cry and fueled by frantic bisexual energy. The long-awaited second episode launches today!
Anthony Dickens (Founder & CEO)
Annoyingly, I'm going to have to swing by the office to collect my Steam Machine if I'm going to play anything this weekend. As for games, it would be impossible to ignore the Hellraiser demo that Dom described in glorious detail. It's been a while since I played Resident Evil 7, and this one sounds totally up that street, but perhaps behind the alleyway and under the neon red lights. Better keep the volume down too.
Damien McFerran (Editorial Director)
I picked up Assassin's Creed Odyssey on sale a few weeks back (blame Christopher Nolan), and after spending just a couple of hours with it, I got distracted with other things – so I should really get back to that. I've had my eye on it since it launched, and it runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck.
It's not Steam-related, but I'm also playing through Shining the Holy Ark on my AYANEO 3 at the moment (with RetroAchievements!), and I dearly wish that Sega would find a way of resurrecting its Saturn library on modern platforms.
Noah McFerran (Jnr Staff Writer)
Even though I have already finished The Blood of Dawnwalker once, I am already nearing the end of my second playthrough and will be chipping away at as many side-quests as possible this weekend, and maybe even finishing it a second time. This grind will also possibly be interrupted by small sessions of Zenless Zone Zero (yes I am addicted) just to mix things up.
And that's it for us. But we want to know what you're up to this weekend in the weird, wacky world of PC gaming! Anything you've picked up thanks to our recommendations? Let us know in the comments below.

If I can get into tbe WoW Forever beta I will be playing that. If not I will be leveling up my Orc Warlock in WoW TBC Anniversary Classic.
I haven't picked up anything new since beating Mina the Hollower, so I've been digging through my backlog. My current game? Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
I wouldn't mind trying the WoW Forever beta, but otherwise I'll play some MGS Peace Walker and maybe Valheim.
Thanks to the article the other day I have been playing some Sniper Dan (I can already tell this site is going to cost me a small fortune in recommendations). I have also been playing some Zero Company, Blood of Dawnwalker and Palworld so a nice eclectic mix at the moment.
Blood of Dawnwalker still in early stages as I haven't much of a chance to play much, but what a game.
Still going through Sekiro after killing that monk last week
Sniper Dan! and Ocarina using Retrodeck.
Control Ultimate Edition which I got on sale on GOG for like $6 a while back. I decided to dive into it recently. Enjoying it so far. I like that it has an eerie environment and mysterious story but without being horror or overly violent. I also started Ender Lilies on PC recently and I like it too, but didn’t finish it before deciding I felt like starting Control. Sometimes I am much better at starting games than finishing them.
I've mostly been playing on Switch 2 the past week, but may tackle my Steam backlog this weekend. Perhaps Chicory: A Colorful Tale.
Barrelling through Trails 2nd Chapter and got Sunday evening Big Walk scheduled with the team. We got the ending a few weeks ago today and this is our first session for puzzle mop up and assorted secret finding.
I've got Trails in the Sky SC sitting there ready to go but I decided to play Fire Emblem first so I won't be getting to it for a while. Probably just a few Monster Train 2 or Slay the Spire 2 runs on my Steam Deck.
Company of Heroes 2. It's not as good as the original, and it often crashes after about 30 minutes of playtime. However, it's still fun, and I want to finish it. I think I'm on the penultimate mission.
I'm not sure if I'll continue with Ardennes Assault, though.
Not playing anything on Steam this weekend. How is anything else supposed to compete with Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave? I could be booked for the year on that one alone.
Dived back into Ferocious. It certainly has its charm and as you move onto the second island things definitely pick up. However, it's pretty rough around the edges and still feels very much like an early access title.
Been playing RogueCraft DX and Tainted Grail on my LeGo S (SteamOS). Have the former on Evercade, but couldn’t help double dipping, especially with the additional modes.
Tainted Grail was a random purchase as a newbie to steam gaming, but after a few tweaks I’ve got it running well and enjoying it.
A few more hours of Split Fiction (finally, after sitting on the backlog since forever) with the missus - we’re having a great time, the game is brilliant!
No man's sky on my deck. Crimson Desert on PC, when it isn't crashing. 😢
Bioshock remastered on the steam deck.
@Slippship crimson desert, is that due to a recent update, your rig, or has this been a constant thing since launch?
@VeganH since the enhanced edition. Buzz, disconnect noise, desktop. Tried all I know. If you know a thing or two I have a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5, rtx 4070 12gb and a phillips 1440 uwhd monitor. Apparently this last element may be the issue...
After I was done being a console peasant for the weekend ive spent sunday evening with C&C: Tiberian Sun, all-time favorite.
This game doesnt age.
Just started Darkenstein 3D. A free homage to Wolfenstein 3D, with a slight twist. You're a hobo out to get his dog, Gunther, back from the Nazis.
Developed by Rowye and published by Micro Prose, it's an absolute riot!
I will wait until GTAVI release on Steam next year.
@Slippship no clue. Hope you find out soon. Happy gaming.
"I picked up Assassin's Creed Odyssey on sale a few weeks back (blame Christopher Nolan), and after spending just a couple of hours with it, I got distracted with other things "
Exactly how I stopped playing. It's good but nothing that makes you can't wait to pick it back up to play some more.
It's like a middle book in a series you invested a lot of time in. You start to feel like its required reading
