This isn't meant to be a list of games coming out in 2022. It's just a poll of which upcoming games Codexers are interested in this year, with some information about each one.

Codex Year of the Donut
Infinitron is this meant to just be a list of upcoming games or list of upcoming games you consider to be "incline"?

I'd say this list is a mix between games the Codex community seems particularly interested in along with a few I personally find notable.
Some suggestions if you were looking for more games to add:

Avowed
Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms
Exoplanet: First Contact
Space Cats Tactics
Black Geyser
STAR FIELD

Oh yeah, I'm totally adding Black Geyser. BTW I might reset the votes a few times before the end of the day so you might want to wait a bit with your votes.

After playing ATOM and ATOM:Trudograd, can't wait for next Atomboy game to be announced! Hopefully it will leave post-apocalyptic setting behind and go somewhere else. Maybe fantasy

I've got the usual suspects (Colony Ship, Elex II, etc.), but having quite enjoyed Phoenix Point I'm also particularly intrigued by Project Haven, which promises to have a similar mix of manual aiming and tactical gameplay.

Just went through Lists of Incline from 2016-2021, for some much needed retrospective context. Remember Copper Dreams, Realms Beyond, Stygian: Reign of Old Ones, Barkley 2, Seven Dragon Saga, Mandate, Underworld Ascendant? These and bunch more vaporwares, abandonwares and disappointments were once on List of Incline. Also quite a few ok, good, and fucking great RPGs. Keep that in mind, majority of these games will never release or will be complete disappointments. Fallen Gods is on every List of Incline since 2016, for example. Still, no release date on horizon. List is also BIGGER! than ever, number of RPG Codex certified game devs is bigger then ever, so probably number of Good RPGs will also be bigger then ever. In conclusion: things ain't really that bad
