Here's some I have my eye on:
What games are you watching out for?
Classified: France '44 - some kind of WW2 nuXCOM thing. Story will be the usual mind-numbing war shit, but I'll play anything with nuXCOM combat. WISHLISTED
Outcast: A New Beginning - sequel to 1999's Outcast, which will probably have combat that's just as bad as the original. WISHLISTED
ScreenPlay - some kinda new collectible card game. I don't know if it'll be good, but it's a CCG. WISHLISTED
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II - sequel to Senua's Sacrifice. Will the devs come up with an actual game to go along with their brooding mental-health-focused story this time? WISHLISTED
Selaco - new gzdoom shooter that's kind of like FEAR on the Doom engine. Liked the demo. Caused consternation and sexual confusion among the usual RPGCodex users. WISHLISTED
Hades II - literally can't go wrong with this one, Hades was rock solid and it's impossible to fuck up the formula. WISHLISTED
STALKER 2 - I never really got STALKER in the way other people do. I've really tried, it just puts me to sleep. Shooting human enemies is sort of vaguely fun, but that's about it. Giving it a chance anyway. WISHLISTED
Avowed - I don't trust Obsidian to make something that isn't a huge pile of shit at this point, and "we're making our own Skyrim ripoff in the Pillars of Eternity setting" is the single worst pitch for a game I've ever heard. You just know they're going to fuck this up mega-style. In it for the drama and the inevitable roast-a-thon thread. WISHLISTED
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - put aside for a second that the studio in question has never made a good game, and this looks like it has a chance to be okay. You can drag people over to you with a whip and then knock them out with a big punch! WISHLISTED
Phantom Fury - demo was enormously discouraging, but I'm going to play this shit anyway. WISHLISTED
COVEN - new throwback shooter where you play as a witch who comes back to fuck shit up after getting burned at the stake. Demo is lots of fun. WISHLISTED
Star Wars: Outlaws - I fucking hate Star Wars but I do like a couple of Star Wars games, and by "a couple" I mean Dark Forces 1 and Dark Forces 2. And maybe that Starfighter game for PS2. Might as well give this a chance. Gameplay reveal video looked dispiritingly cutscene-heavy, meaning you'll have to stomach a lot of "glup shitto" Star Wars crap. WISHLISTED
WIZORDUM - already in early access, already very good. BOUGHT EARLY ACCESS
Fortune's Run - ditto. BOUGHT EARLY ACCESS
