Our industrious leader Sammy Barker is on holiday right now, but that doesn't mean our longest running feature is taking a break. After a quiet few weeks, we're starting to see some cool games emerging. Here's what we're up to this weekend.

Catherine or Katherine... Catherine or Katherine... Or Rin? It's tough choices for me this weekend as I finish up Catherine: Full Body for review. I've gotta say, I've enjoyed playing through this one all over again. It's been an eternity since it released back on the PS3, but there's still nothing quite like it.
Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor
I've ended up on review duties for WRC 8, so I'll be mainly sliding through mud and wrapping cars around trees this weekend. I'd really like to continue playing Knights and Bikes too, an adorable little game I backed on Kickstarter years ago.
Liam Croft, Senior Staff Writer
Video games actually came out this week, so I have something to play on every console I own. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan on PS4, Astral Chain on Switch, and Blair Witch on Xbox One. What on earth do I play first?

Having come to the end of the road in Wreckfest's career mode, I'll be spending my weekend gorging myself on Remedy's Control.
Jamie O'Neill, Reviewer
The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors has just released on the UK's PlayStation Store, yet despite looking forward to this beat-'em-up, I won't purchase it twice, so I'll wait for Strictly Limited Games to fulfil my order of a physical copy. I'll focus on Battlefield 1 and Ratchet & Clank instead, just like the past two WAYP weekends.

Now that the Premier League is back in full swing, I'll likely be dipping back into FIFA 19 in anticipation of the next release in a few weeks. I also plan on starting the Resident Evil 2 remake which I picked up on sale last week, and will almost certainly fall back down the rabbit hole of playing Destiny 2 until my eyes can't stay awake any longer.
Simon Fitzgerald, Reviewer
With the recent release of OST 3 on Beat Saber and the recent move to my new flat, [Congrats! - Ed] I’ll be swinging those different coloured sabers all weekend long. In between you may catch me attempting some runs with The Keeper in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+.

I'll be sinking some more time into the Dragon Quest XI S demo as I'm totally hooked and the release date can't come soon enough. I know I can get it on the PS4, but I like being able to play in on a handheld. PS4 wise, I will be playing Fire Pro Wrestling World due to the AEW event going on this weekend.
That's it from us, but what about you? What games will be keeping you busy this weekend? As always, tell us what you're playing in the comments below.

i'm playing Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 mainly
Control which I'm really enjoying, far more than I thought I would and maybe find some time to play some more of The Messenger.
Just cause 3 and the great last remnant remastered.a amazing rpg.word ☝ up son
Finished the Trails in the Sky trilogy Now Going to play through the Gagharv Trilogy Starting With Tear's of Vermillion
Hopefully a few more levels of sniper elite 4 coop with a friend, other than that I'm away most the time so not much else unfortunately
Finishing my proud mode run of the original Kingdom Hearts, and maybe play some Stardew Valley.
GTA 5: There is double money on a lot of businesses so I can get some funds for planes and the like.
GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories: I picked them up on Tuesday and have enjoyed them both so far
Fifa 17: I am doing a career mode where the leagues are based on this current season and the results are interesting.
I'll be scavenging on lush/miserable planets in No Man's Sky, being sassy as the wonderful Kassandra in AC Odyssey and doing daily challenges with my Posse-Cats crew in Red Dead Online.
Bit of Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled on PS4
Mainly I'll be playing Jade Cocoon 2 on PS2!
ESO Online. Been that way for over a year now
Just got back from a protest about our prime minister suspending parliament. So God Eater Resurrection and Knights and Bikes.
Going back to CTR NR to participate in the Spyro Grand Prix.
Probably return to Final Fantasy 7 so I can finish that.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole (Switch) - Finally going to start on the DLC.
Game & Watch Gallery (GB) - I've been playing Octopus on and off trying to top my high score.
Twisted Metal 2 (PS) - Finally secured a copy of this fun game, so I forsee some multiplayer with the kids.
Asphalt 5 (Windows Phone) - Having connection issues everytime I start it now.
Earthworm Jim HD (Windows Phone) - This plays pretty awful on a touch screen.
Hexic (Windows Phone) - I need to get better at combos.
GTA: Online for PS3, ain't nothin changed son! I'm rank 87 now and I feel like I can see the finish line.
On PC I started The Witcher: Enhanced Edition so I'll be playing that as a break from GTA.
Happy gaming everyone.
Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey for me if I get any time. Was tempted by trying Blair Witch but heard it had a fair few technical issues.
Started NG+ on GoW and still continuing my NG+ of HZD. Those 2 are quite similar in the way of assets and overall graphics. Love them both. Then still hunting cultists in AC Odyssey.
And if you follow GTAO you might just stop playing all other games and I think a lot of gamers are in that situation, not just GTAO but FIFA, Fortnite etc where they're hooked to one particular online game and before they realize a whole generation's gone by and they've only played 3 games.
Going for the Ratchet & Clank Platinum, considering I'm rite in the center of a hurricane's path I'm going to enjoy today and tomorrow as much as I can 😜
Still playing a combination of Valkyria Chronicles 4 and Marvel’s Spider-Man. It’s a really good combination for me right now of games to jump back and forth between because they are each different, but both quite excellent.
A bit of Smash, I guess. If I get a few free hours, I'll probably start Detroit: Become Human.
I’m really addicted to Fire Emblem Three Houses. On my second play through with that one. But I will probably play Samurai Shodown and Street Fighter V on PS4.
Dragon Quest XI S demo, and once that's done, some Final Fantasy XIV, and also starting up Yakuza Kiwami
I'll definitely be playing more Control. Picked it up on release day & only had time to put in a few hours. I really liked it, very keen to finally have a few days to play through it.
It's my long weekend off work so I get to get to rest my worn and torn feet and just lay about catching up on videogames and Netflix.
Ps4
Assassins Creed Odyssey.
Yakuza Zero.
Dragon Quest Builders 2
And played about an hour of Man Of Medan and enjoying it so far.I definitely agree with technical issues though.shame.
Switch
Octopath Traveller
Zelda Breath Of The Wild
And I'll be watching the final few episodes of 13 Reasons Why season 3...excellent series despite finding the new girl Ani extremely annoying!
@Ichiban i also really like it. So crazy once you open up all the powers. Large fights are so much fun... I go looking for trouble now, just to get into combat.
Seeing as my main game right now is AC Odyssey I could probably copy and paste this answer for many weeks to come. Just took out the first member of the 'cult' this morning.
With football being back my gaming time has reduced, but I will probably do a bit of RDR2 online and try yet again to get back to Persona. I re-installed No Man's Sky as I stopped playing before any of the updates but I've forbid myself from starting it until I get other stuff finished.
Dug out the VR headset and played some Astrobot, also Darksiders, great game although frustrating at points.
Sekiro. I can smell my platinum now.
As well as the original Knack, I have also started Knack 2, so I'm playing both Knacks at the same time. For some reason.
It's a busy weekend of gaming for me. There's the Monster Hunter World Iceborne beta, a new legacy elusive target in Hitman 2, and the Spyro grand prix in Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled. On top of all that, I'd like to carry on with Witcher 3 and Half-life 1, and do the last few achievements with Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
Blair Witch and Forza Horizon 4. I love games pass.
@Frigate I'm converted to the cause. I've only played a small part of the second one, but it's great so far!
After my longer than expected play through of the first Bioshock game. I decided to stay in Rapture for a little while longer, and this maybe a unpopular opinion but I am enjoying the 2nd game far more so far
Control on pc, this game is great, it’s more like max payne 1&2 rather than alan wake (good story but the gameplay is just okay) or quantum break (good combat gameplay but boring story).
Near the end of fallout 4 and okami. I've really enjoyed fallout 4, though it gets loads of stick. Got myself new vegas for 360 for a bit more of the fallout world. I'm going to take a break before playing the dlc, teeing up rise of the tomb raider for next game.
@LobsterJohnson it's a great game, I played the collection last year and really enjoyed them all but two was the atmosphere of the first with the gameplay refined.
New poster here so be gentle!
Recently finished playing The Witcher 3 plus both DLCs. What. A. Game. It's soooo darned good but the problem is how do you follow that?
Decided to go with a change of pace so replaying Until Dawn whilst fitting in some SW BF2 and some Red Dead Online (although mainly for poker!).
Days gone, i found this game to be kinda hard in the beginning, but then i got a machine gun. Now its kinda easy, except hordes.
Gow first play through. Devison 2, grw halfway done with that, great game for the price think siege but with a huge open world. Hellblade and the order 1886 is what I'm playing. Yet I have oddesy and cant put it on until I atleast finish origins. Which I can't complain due to getting all dlc for 9 bucks. Control looks good but I'd rather go buy remnant of the the Ashes. Everyone I no is having a blast with it. But can't wait to finally start d2 after platinum new York City.
@R1spam Yeah, I don’t understand why people think the second game is the weakest link.
A little bit of Control and Astral Chain, both of which I am really enjoying so far, but I’m away for most of the day and tomorrow. But a FULL WEEK OFF AHEAD OF ME (!!!) so I’m gunna be smashing them both from Monday.
Replaying fallout 4, hopefully this will be the time that I get the plat. Or I'll become bored looking for stupid shaun. Got Assassins creed Odyssey on the side as well.
I'll play Control for the most time with some Man of Medan in the middle.
I really enjoy Control this far.
Mostly Astral Chain but I'll probably also play a bit of Control as well.
Astral Chain and i love it. First platinium game and it impressed me.
Initially wanted to buy fire emblem three houses but both the game mania and media markt did not have it. Also need to buy super Mario maker 2 but im not the creative type of guy
Mad Max. I’m enjoying it, but it really does feel like a last-gen game.
@Sanquine
I'm not very creative either but Super Mario Maker 2 does have a pretty decent story mode and some of the stuff created by other players is really cool. Definitely worth a buy if you get a chance. I don't think I'll be going back to it anytime soon, however. I'm addicted to Astral Chain, I'll wait until I finish it but what I've played it's quickly moving up my Game of the Year list. Platinum Games at its finest.
@Gamer83 Well, MM2 and fire emblem it is for my next purchases.
Control. And it has been excellent so far .
Gonna carry on with Wreckfest a bit which is great fun and AC Origins which I've been blitzing through plus all the DLC. .seems to go on forever, but a sublime game.
Also trying to wrap up Metro Exodus, good game but not without its issues - not looking forward to NG+
@playstation1995 loving Last Remnant Remastered but keep getting my butt handed to me big time. .very difficult game ( could just be me lol )
@KingPev. Just level up.now im kicking theyre butt now.its a great game.story graphics.wow.word up son
@oatmealwarrior92 all the best and stay as safe as possible, Dorian looks set to do some major damage.
@playstation1995 thanks man, I'll keep trying, yes great game and graphics. Word up son 🤣
