Nice, thanks for this!

Nice list…thanks for putting it up! Sad that I didn’t see that many that piqued my interest…Ara and Mechwarrior Clans is about it. Songs of Conquest has been out for a while, though, since I play it occasionally…maybe it’s still EA. Anyway, thanks again!

What I’m interested in:
Granblue Fantasy Relink - Turn-based fantasy RPG
Persona 3 Reload - a P3 remake
Homeworld 3 - Sci-fi space RTS classic revival
Life By You - Life and building sim (Sims-like game from Paradox)
Ara: History Untold - Civ-like 4X strategy (a Sid Meier’s Civilization Killer)

The rest of those I either don’t know anything about or are not interested currently. However, I may change my mind if I learn more about a game.

I was interested in Blue Protocol but Amazon has censored it to shit and whole body types have been removed. I want nothing to do with it now.

GAMES DELAYED TO 2025

Delayed to 2025

Falling Frontier - Logistics-heavy space grand strategy (Steam)

I got excited for Chrono Odyssey for a minute but then found it has nothing to do with the Chrono Trigger series :frowning: …lol

I’m disappointed that Homeworld 3 will be using Denuvo. I was really excited for that game.

For me, the cupboard is pretty bare this year. Might be some hidden gems I am missing… I am curious about Pax Dei, but after the disappointment of Nightingale I wont get too excited. Capes might be fun too. Mainly trying old games I never got to and experimenting with some early release games. Manor Lords looks interesting.

Yeah, I have to say the list left me less enthused than I thought. Lately I get on Steam for my daily cruise through the suggested new games and most of the time I find I’m clicking ‘ignore.’ It’s nice they don’t pay any attention to the games I said I don’t want to see…platform, bullet hell, dancing with the stars, overhead shooters…that kind of stuff. I must be getting old(er). I do think there were some coming out this year I was really interested in but, now I can’t remember. Regardless, hope you’re having a good time!
