The weekend starts here! As usual, there are plenty of Xbox deals to take advantage of over the next few days. Three games are available to try with Xbox Live Free Play Days, and there's a massive Deals Unlocked Sale currently ongoing at the Microsoft Store. Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

I've been in two minds about buying Sonic Forces ever since it released back in 2017, but now that it's free with Xbox Live Free Play Days this weekend, I'll definitely be checking it out. I've also started playing the new UEFA Euro 2020 free update in eFootball PES 2020, and it's proving a really enjoyable way to get my football fix!
And of course, there's the huge Xbox Deals Unlocked Sale to consider. I've got a lot of games on my wishlist, but it remains to be seen what I'll commit to. I'm thinking I'll probably pick up Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and an Assassin's Creed game... but which one?! There are far too many to choose from!

One game that I've been thinking about playing for some time now is Obsidian's latest release, The Outer Worlds. It's just been launched on a certain hybrid platform this week, so I figured now would be the perfect time to try it out (without having to pay for it...well, kind of) on Xbox Game Pass. I've heard it's similar to Fallout: New Vegas - another Obsidian-made game. If that is the case, I'm sure I'm in for quite an adventure.
Another game I've been eyeing off on Xbox for a while now is Cuphead. With the huge Xbox sale currently happening, I think now is the time to jump into this punishing run 'n gun platformer and experience the delightful madness it has to offer. Happy weekend, everyone!

Hello. This weekend I’m continuing my extremely slow, episodic playthrough of Alan Wake. I’m almost done with it now and have enjoyed it immensely, it’s actually aged really well for the most part and has been thoroughly, cheesily entertaining all the way.
Elsewhere my son and I have become somewhat addicted to the excellent Minecraft Dungeons, we rinsed the entire thing a few times over now but his appetite for hacking and slashing his way through creepers and zombies in search of even better loot has yet to be sated, it seems.
I’ve also just picked up Divinity Original Sin 2 in the current sales, a game I already own on PC, PS4 and Switch but I just had to have it again, it’s that good, an absolute all-timer. Hope everyone is doing ok, have a good weekend and stay safe out there!

I have to finish Resident Evil 4, which I still consider a superb game after every playthrough.
Then I'm thinking of starting Dishonored 2
Red Dead Redemption 2, some Streets of Rage 4 and maybe some more Outer Worlds
I’ll be mainly setting up my new Xbox one X Cyberpunk edition! Will also be playing some Minecraft dungeons which I’ve really been enjoying. May download RDR2 from game pass - have already completed it on PS4 Pro, but am curious to see how it performs on the XB1X.
Sonic Forces this weekend as it's on the free play weekends....
Playing some Farcry 3 classic edition, Also need to finish up South Park Stick Of Truth
Gears 5 multiplayer and have just started playing Anthem. I have been wanting to give it a try for myself. I have been playing solo, but so far it's pretty fun. The game looks really great, and I love the design of the world. The gameplay is also really fun, albeit a tad clunky at times. So far so good. Have a great weekend everyone.
I started Minecraft Dungeons thinking I would just play with my nephew but it’s turned out to be quite addictive! I’m having a hard time beating the boss the first time around which is proving frustrating. Also been playing Golf with your Friends.
I’ll also be playing some Borderlands on Switch.
Happy gaming all!
I am playing Fable Anniversary.
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (Switch) - Having a great time in coop, prepping to kill Sledge.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Also finally getting back to the main missions finally.
Monster Burner (Windows Phone) - The difficulty spikes are all over the place in this game.
Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) Need to buckle down and finish this game already.
Lego DC Villains (Xbox One) Picked this up during the MS Sale. Been wanting to play it for awhile now as I do love a good Lego game.
Minecraft Dungeons (Xbox One). It's a relaxing game in a addictive sort of way.
Halo! Which will likely be my answer next week, too. And the week after...
@KelticDevil Nice, I played through Fable Anniversary earlier this year. I've now moved onto the second game.
I know Sonic Forces isn't the most popular entry, but I must admit I enjoyed it start to finish. Some of the earlier levels in the game were particularly fun.
