Divinity Original Sin EE and Van Helsing Final Cut
Might play something casual too, to relax a bit
Grim Dawn
Still The Witcher 3. Started NG+ at level 89 after completing the main game and both expansions, now level 99. 321 hours played so far, still loving it.
"I'm with VWTV and this is MegaRace 2."

I'll probably also play some more Stardew Valley & Devil Daggers.
I'm going with Vampire: Bloodlines (Finally! Totally missed this one first go around, and by the time I became aware of it, it was only a year or so before I had to wait for it to show up here! After waiting eagerly for Redemption on release, this one was surprising that I had never heard of it. So far, it's like Alpha Protocol... WITH VAMPIRES! Huge fan!).

And Darkest Dungeon. Wow, liking it a lot. Strangely simple yet deep mechanics and a great system of risk / reward... and I've only just barely started. I'm a sucker for turn-based stuff and this one seems to strike that perfect balance between tough, fun and satisfying. Really looking forward to delving deeper into it. Should have known I was in for a treat when they thanked Klei at the start. Beautifully stylized game with some well thought out gameplay.

I feel like I dove into two good games at once, when I should have saved one for a rainy day LOL. Or maybe not, as I've been in a bit of a "gaming funk" lately and these could really go a long way to bringing me out of it.
This weekend is dedicated to Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide. I just love this game!
VTMB, again. Playing again as a freaking Malkavian, feel like playing a different game with same plot.
Update: Finished Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition: 121 hours of gameplay, 46 days of real life (April 26 to June 10).
I plan on starting Shadowrun Returns, and playing a bit more FreeCiv on linux,
and seeing if I can get DOSBox w/ Mechwarrior 2 working off a USB stick under linux.

Running DOSBox off a USB stick under Windows took some work, but was worth the effort.

I will be playing several games this weekend:

Cities in Motion - I somehow missed a few tasks in Berlin. I couldn't find them so far. Although I played the Berlin scenarios more than one time. Now there is just one trophy missing in my collection. I received all the others hassle-free, so I am tempted to get this one too.

I have completed The Whispering World yesterday. And I will replace it with another adventure. A bigger one, because I run smaller adventures like the Star Trek adventures on my tablet. Maybe it will be Grim Fandango or Agatha Christie ABC. But definately not a Daedalic title, because I have played a couple of those lately. I need a change.

I decided to remove Recettear from my tablet. I got spasms in my fingers trying to control the characters with the clunky and way too small keys of the keyboard. Maybe I will install it on my desktop computer, transfer the save files and continue playing. The replacement for Recettear will be Geneforge. Turn-based! No real-time fighting games on the tablet anymore.

I haven't completed Desktop Dungeons yet. One or two dungeons per day. It is such an excellent little strategy game.

And if GOG will add Stardew Valley to the sale. I will grab a copy. The Twitch event and various posts mentioning this game made me curious... ;-)
My cousin talked me into trying World of Warcraft again. This will be the first time I've played since 2009, I think. Other than that, I've been doing a bit of dungeon diving in NetHack.
I'm in the Horror kick again. So i guess i'm playing my Frictional games. Maybe on the can this time. Also still trying to beat Darksiders II on DEATHINITIVE, and no it's not easy. Welp... see you on the other side.

I know right? Exactly how I felt on my second, infinitely more memorable playthrough (first one was with a Gangrel).

I am again gorging myself on Blood and wine, and there is still no end in sight. Game is nothing sort of a goddamn masterpiece.

Only niggle I have is that the new witcher armor sets don't seem to offer such a significant upgrade to the Viper one I've been wearing since the end of Hearts of Stone :/
I know what I will be playing next weekend......
I won't have as much time as I hoped I would so it will be Caesar IV and Warcraft II. Maybe a bit of Shadow Watch
