Ask any gamer you know what the highlight of their week is, and they'll probably say Friday nights or even weekends. While weekday gaming is great, nothing beats weekend gaming sessions.
Some people find gaming for hours during the week a luxury, while others, such as parent gamers, have so many other things to do that they have to wait for the weekend to come by to be able to touch their controllers.

Some games are perfect for weekend gaming sessions with family and friends, but not everyone has the privilege to spend most of their Saturdays and Sundays playing video games.
If you are an avid gamer with trouble finding time to play video games, we've got a list of 5 awesome games you can finish in a weekend. Say no more to gaming backlogs and say hello to happy weekend gaming.
Until Dawn Remake
Developed by Supermassive Games, Until Dawn is an interactive drama horror game that lets you control all eight protagonists trying to survive the night in Blackwood Mountain. The gameplay involves some third-person exploration and interactive cutscenes where players must decide what happens next. Until Dawn also features a butterfly effect on the game's events, which makes each of your smaller decisions matter.
Until Dawn only has around nine and a half hours of game time if you plan to finish the main game and side content, perfect for a quick horror session for the weekend.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2
Saber Interactive's latest installment in the Space Marine series, Space Marine 2, lets you control Demetrian Titus, a lieutenant of the Ultramarines. Armed with huge melee weapons and devastating ranged weapons, Space Marine 2 sends you into the middle of a war, so expect to have massive gunfights and insect gore.
The game's main story is roughly nine and a half hours, up to 15 hours if you plan to do more side content. This is best to play alone or with a buddy over a few bottles of beer and homemade tacos.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6
Released last October 25, Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 has a short main campaign. You can finish the story in less than 11 hours, including most side content. Black Ops 6 features a new cinematic storyline and the return of Call of Duty: Zombies, should you want to shoot some undead during the weekend.
Black Ops 6 is also available in Xbox Game Pass, so if you have an active subscription and don't want to spend more buying a new game you will finish over the weekend, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the way to go.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II
An action-adventure game complete with puzzle-solving and an upgraded combat system compared to its predecessor, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is a great game to finish in a single weekend if you want to squeeze in some game time after a long and tiring week. With only roughly 9 hours to complete everything in the game, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is perfect for solo gaming sessions and quick stress relief.
While the game is short and perfect for handheld gaming like the Switch, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is only available on PC and Xbox Series X|S. Having a Steam Deck is perfect for short games like this one.
A Short Hike
If you are looking for a much more relaxing gaming session than shooting monstrous insects in Space Marine 2 or running away from fiendish creatures in Until Dawn, the game A Short Hike is perfect. You'll control Claire, a cutesy black bird whose main goal is to find cellular reception during her hike in a provincial park.
It is relaxing and simply short, with only a maximum of 4 and a half hours to complete everything in the game. It is perfect for unwinding after a long, tiring week, but you still plan on doing something later during your weekend. A Short Hike also received various accolades from the Independent Games Festival Awards and Golden Joystick Awards, so you're surely in for a treat.
Video games don't have to be 100 hours long to be fun and immersive. Sometimes, you only need a quick gaming session to destress and chill. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these games while you stay updated with the latest gaming news and stories by following Gfinity Esports.
