  • Baldur’s Gate 3 (August 31)

  • Starfield (September 6)

      I just recently got into Stardew Valley so this had not passed my radar yet, looks really promising from the early gameplay video!
      Seems to be a more “active” game while retaining a lot of the charm, which I’m all for 🤩

    I’m looking forward to Stalker 2, if it happens to come out this year. Completely understandable if it doesn’t.

    Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 were ones that I always enjoyed trying to play when I was younger, but never seemed to be able to survive for more than a few minutes. So I’d give up in frustration. Maybe I should give them another go before 3 comes out.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 that’s (finally) coming out of EA in August.

    Ever since I watched the presentation about Starfield, I’ve been absolutely eager to see if it’s really as good as it comes across in the presentation. I am a long-time Assassins Creed player and of course I am looking forward to the new Assassins Creed. I hope that the story has a bit more content again and above all that everything is more historical and less magical. But I’m actually looking forward to the Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 the most. Despite all the justified criticism of Cyberpunk 2077, the game captivated me immensely and I had a lot of fun playing it.

    Can’t wait for Manor Lords.

    Well I can wait because I think it’ll be great after the demo.

      I’m so excited for Manor Lords. Looks like the type of medieval game I’ve been wanting for a long time.

      Life by You looked pretty rough last time they showed it, I hope they’ve polished it up a lot since then.

        It releases in early access, so they aren’t claiming that it’s a finished product on launch.

        I’m sure the devs are very aware that it doesn’t look good visually. As long as they focus on the systems first that’s fine by me personally.

      I haven’t played some of the recent games, but I liked the old format and look forward to Mirage’s take on it.

    It was announced several years ago. The development team was based in Ukraine. Since the military conflict started, production has drastically slowed. Most of the devs migrated to Greece. Been getting updates, but sporadically.

    I am still holding hope for its release. From everything I have read/heard about the game, I believe the developers are trying to make sure they release a quality product, therefore part of the “slow to release” aspect.

    Starfield and Armored Core VI in that order.

    Been playing Skyrim for way to long and really hoping for a new game to scratch that itch.

      I’m hyped for Starfield. Let’s hope it’s not another fallout 76. I’m waiting for some gameplay reviews before buying.

      I really want to try armored core.
