@bam541 Great! You're welcome to assume the mantle. If things change or someone else wants to be involved they can always post in the new monthly thread.

Legends Arceus. not really interested in any other january games. thank god my wallet can taken a well earned break

Will be getting game pass for halo, and that's about it so will also try to get psychonauts 2 out of the way as well and maybe unsighted otherwise it's SMT5 TIME.

It's not a new game since it's on PC and Switch already, but Nostalgic Train caught my eye. It's a walking-sim mystery game set in a rural Japanese town. Seems like a real good one sitting game, and it got good reviews on Steam. It's out now for PS4, PS5. Youtube Video

@mbun Solar Ash is this month? Let's see how it will do on reviews.

While we're at it let's not forget this sequel: Youtube Video And while I'm at it: Youtube Video

@jdincinerator It was always my favourite game as a kid. Hid&Seek was close second.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin (July 9th) Monster Hunter Stories was an enjoyable Pokémon style game on 3DS, and this new game looks even better. I've played some of the demo on Switch, and I'll be playing the full game on PC. The Great Ace Attorney: Chronicles (July 27th) I haven't been keeping up with this series, but the first 4 Ace Attorney games were so good. Now I'm ready to return to the court room and deliver some more OBJECTIONS! Also: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and Cris Tales.

Mario Golf: Super Rush can't be overlooked. Although golf is a silly game, when Mario commits to sports they can be some of the most enjoyable experiences you can have on any Nintendo console and Gold Rush looks like it'll hit a Whole In One or at least a Birdie. Youtube Video

@bam541 said in What do you get out of watching reviews?: Neither, I guess? I only watch/read reviews after I finish playing something to know what others thought of it, and compare them to mine. I do care about scores, I usually use them (by relying on my feelings) to decide whether I buy a game or not. Most of the time I already heard of many things about the games I'm interested in from various sources outside of reviews (mostly stuff like "hey look at this cool thing that this game has"), so I don't feel like I need to expose my self to too much info before playing something. Wanting to know what others thought (and to compare) is very squarely in the second category. At least, in my mind that is what I'm trying to describe and I didn't know of existing labels to describe it with.

The Wild at Heart releases on May 20th for PC, Xbox, and Game Pass. The art style is awesome and I like what I played of the demo when it was available on Steam. Youtube Video

Let's Play X-Men ep 6! Expect musings on character variety in platformers, and wishing there was a true Smash Brothers-style single player game. Let's Play X-Men (Genesis) ep 6, Wolverine/Nightcrawler, stages 5, 6, Magneto & Finale Youtube Video ~ ~ ~ That's it! Thanks for watching Let's Play X-Men

@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

What a weak month! Only game that had my interest is It Takes Two and that one needs tow people, maybe the Final Cut of Disco Elysium. :DDD Besides that, nothing is exciting in this month. Virus really did effect the developments and this year is the real one where we see the lack of entertainment other than tv serieses. To compare, some of the biggest games from last three years' marchs: 2018: Sea of Thieves A Way Out Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Far Cry 5 Outlast 2 2019: Devil May Cry 5 Tom Clancy's The Division 2 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Tropico 6 2020: Ori and the Will of the Wisps Nioh 2 Doom Eternal Half-Life: Alyx Persona 5 Royal 2020 is especially amazing! @DIPSET I'll definitely hold that game until I have a significant other who I can warm up to video games. :P

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.
