How are we at the end of June already? Can time slow down? No? Okay. Fine. Well, at least we’re at the weekend, so that means (hopefully) you have some free time to spend on video games.
This week we’ve rounded up an eclectic mix of eight games worth checking out as you shelter from the heat (assuming it’s hot where you are. If not, well, aren’t you lucky? Unless it’s too cold. Look, you can manage your own weather).
Play it on: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows (Steam Deck: YMMV) Current goal: Finish the post-Endwalker patches before Dawntrail releases After putting it off for as long as I possibly could, I finally finished Endwalker literally hours before Final Fantasy 14 ’s servers went down for maintenance. Sadly, my journey isn’t over yet, as I still have a little under 50 quests to complete as part of the post-Endwalker patches standing between me and Dawntrail . Even with the uneven pacing of Endwalker, I still grew to love the expansion in the end, and it reaffirmed why I keep coming back to F14, so I am re-energized to dive in for more.
That being said, post-expansion patches are often a major slog and I can’t help but worry I’m in for some tedious questing. I do know that there are some things to look forward to: namely meeting Zero and tackling the Myths of the Realm raid series. Whatever the case, I only have this weekend to marathon through the remaining quests ahead of Dawntrail’s wide release on July 2.
I’m gonna be optimistic and say I can ge.
