By This weekend brings some standout releases that are worth your attention. One of the biggest highlights is Hades II, which has already been praised as a near-perfect sequel. According to game.news, the game manages to expand on everything that made the first entry so beloved — fast-paced combat, immersive storytelling, and rich world-building — while avoiding the common pitfall of being overwhelming. The result is a roguelike experience that many critics are calling one of the best games of the year. It’s available on PC, Switch, and Switch 2, with the latter platform offering an especially smooth experience.
Another title worth checking out is Consume Me, an indie game that takes a very different approach. You step into the shoes of a teenager struggling with body image, forced to manage diet and lifestyle in ways that reflect the irrational patterns tied to mental health challenges. Despite tackling such heavy themes, the game uses a bright art style and a cheerful, almost playful tone, which creates a powerful contrast. According to game.news, this combination of sharp storytelling and unique design makes Consume Me a special indie release — though it risks being overlooked amid bigger launches. If you’re looking for something meaningful and distinct, it deserves a spot on your weekend playlist.
