I'm probably not going to buy many games this month, bought AC New Horizons yesterday and I want to spend a lot of time with that, plus all the backlog I have. If I have the chance, I'm interested in checking out the 2 Famicom Detective Club games, both coming out May 14th. Youtube Video I'm also paying close attention to the reviews for EDF: World Brothers (May 27th) and Biomutant (May 25th), really curious about both of these. Youtube Video Youtube Video

@el-shmiablo Ding, ding! This thread over! I'd trade in for that or, nearly every Western-lootbox-live-service garbage for more quality AA and smaller/indie games. Those games get physical versions too, unless they have them already.

@bam541 fair enough

Mundaun looks really interesting, I love horror games. Mini Militia App Lock

My top three are: The Little Nightmares II Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood

Youtube Video Cyber Shadow looks awesome! Hitman 3 and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game are the other two on my watchlist.

After being delayed out of Summer, Pixeljunk Eden 2 is finally releasing. Really looking forward to it. 2D Platformer where you swing around abstract "gardens" while collecting Pollen to grow the garden to progress. Soundtrack by Baiyon if you remember him from Day of the Devs where he made a song from ice in a cup. This next one I can't speak as highly of, but lots of people been waiting years and years for it to finally release. If you're into games like Earthbound, Undertale, or Yume Nikki, then it is probably worth at least keeping an eye on. Only PC for now, but they've said it'll come to Switch later in the past if you want to wait for that.

I didn't realize how stacked this month is until now, there's like 8 games I'm interested in. I don't think I need to explain Crash 4, Star Wars Squadrons, and WD Legion. Here's the rest of em'. I Am Dead (Oct 8) Youtube Video Cloudpunk (coming to consoles Oct 15, already on PC) Youtube Video Rajj: An Ancient Epic (Oct 15) Youtube Video Carto (Oct 27) Youtube Video Ghostrunner (Oct 27) Youtube Video If I had to pick only one for this month (and I'll probably have to), it's gonna be WD Legion. After finishing Ghost of Tsushima, I really want to dive in into another good open world game, and WD2 is one of my favorite open world games from this generation, so I have high hopes for Legion. I would also really consider buying SW Squadrons and Rajj and going broke in the process. There's too many cool games, man.

Let's Play Fantasy Quest ep 12! In this last episode we can't be sure who exactly cut the rope bridge, and we find that the wizard sure is a happy fellow. Let's Play Fantasy Quest episode 12, Crown of Wisdom and Finale Youtube Video Thanks to everyone who watched the whole thing. If revisiting old mac stuff interests you, here is the youtube channel "YYsMG" mentioned in this episode. I'll catch you next time!

Mafia remake is one that im anticipating most.

6 is my third favorite Yakuza game

Every now and then my friends and I like to do things similar to the EZA Tiermaker Stream. Usually 2-5 of us rate things (most often the MCU) by making our own Tiermaker lists then sharing pictures of them. We then argue over why someone put something so low or so high. It might be fun to have a Tiermaker topic on the forums here, but I could see things getting out of hand with how much arguing has gone on in the past. As for other personal rankings of things, I kinda never think about it. I don't really think about what score I would give many games (roguelikes being an exception), or what makes a game enjoyable to me. If someone asks me what my favorite food/movie/game etc. is I never really have a concrete response. The way I come up with definitive rankings for something like the forum GOTYs is to take everything I have enjoyed from that year and put them in a row from favorite to least favorite. Then, I ask myself if I enjoyed a game more than the game above it or less than the game below it and move it up or down according to my gut feeling.

I'm stoked for Fall Guys as well, no excuse for me to miss out especially since it's free on PS Plus (unless PSN Asia doesn't get that one). I'm also curious about Windbound and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time. It will be mostly a backlog month for me though. Hopefully Skater XL shows up on my region's PSN store sometime soon.

+1 for CrossCode, it looks like 16-bit heaven! Youtube Video The PC version so far is at 86 OpenCritic.

Reviews are out, it's currently at 80 on Opencritic (16 reviews). As expected, it seems that the multiplayer is the main strength here. https://opencritic.com/game/9642/star-wars-squadrons

Beyond Blue arrives tomorrow. This seems almost like a scientific game. A really soothing-looking underwater journey to study marine life. I think I was sold pretty much immediately, I'll most likely get this ASAP. It's for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Beyond Blue - Gameplay Trailer - Available June 11th, 2020 Youtube Video

@mbun Oh! I thought you were saying it with the intention of something that you know Damiani said about the game.

Watching Damiani play Crisis Core recently got me really hyped for FF7R, I'm certainly not the biggest FF or JPRG fan out there but I really dig FF7's world, at least from the bits I learned from playing Crisis Core back in the day. The most exciting thing for me is a bit unusual: I really want to hear the soundtrack in it's full glory, all the music from the trailers has been so fucking amazing. Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories comes out April 7. It's a janky looking, PS2-era feeling game about surviving a large-scale disaster. I used to obsess over a game called Raw Danger (PS2), and apparently this is like a spiritual successor of it, which I'm totally down for. Youtube Video Sakura Wars has been standing out on the Asia PSN store for a while now, but now that it's getting a western release, it might be the time for me to check it out. I know nothing about the series. There's cool-looking mech action combat gameplay, visual novel (!!!) social parts, and that's all I know. Youtube Video Cloudpunk comes out to Steam on April 23. The trailers look cool, I really dig the look of the game, and the premise sounds cool (it's about delivering packages, with some twist that I don't know yet). Youtube Video
