Overclockers UK’s Top 5 Games to Play This Weekend!  

Far Cry 6: The Vanishing DLC

If you are like me and managed to binge all of Stranger Things season 4 far too quickly, the Far Cry 6: The Vanishing DLC is just what you need this weekend.  

The crossover you didn’t know you need, The Vanishing combines the fast-paced action of Far Cry 6 with the nail-biting horror of Stranger Things. This is a brand-new mission in which you begin by investigating a missing group of Guerrilla fighters. Players will soon find themselves entangled in a mystery of darkness, hunting El Devorador, fighting Russian secret soldiers, and beginning their journey into the terrifying Shadow Place. Everything a hard-core Stranger Things fan needs to fill in the hole until the release of Vol. 2 in July.
