Gotta be Civ 7 for me, but I'd love to see some other highlights shouted out by people who are excited for them!

Wanderstop. The creator of The Stanley Parable and The Beginners Guide, the writer of Gone Home and Tacoma, the composter of Minecraft, and published by Annapurna. There's no way it won't be amazing.

the composter of Minecraft

Sounds like this game will be environmentally friendly!

Wishlisted it. Annapurna has an eye for truly compelling games that blur the line between art and entertainment.

Outer Wilds was published by them which is my all time favorite game. I’ve also purchased and enjoyed these other titles each unique in their own way: Stray, Cocoon, What remains of Edith Finch, The Unfinished Swan, Journey, Gorogoa.

And I’m a huge fan of The Stanley Parable, The Beginners Guide as well as Gone Home. Truly an all star team working on this one.

Yeah Annapurna have had an amazing track record as an indie publisher. Only game of theirs that really disappointed me is 12 Minutes.

Oh wow that looks fucking awesome. Major Legends & Lattes vibes but with a dark undercurrent.

Oh my god that trailer was so good

So happy we get to play as Rose!

Show me the champion of liiiiiiiiiight!

I'm so glad someone mentioned this, no one in my gaming circles even played AW2 and it makes me sad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Must be due to the epic prison which they enforce as epic invested in its development (which is in their rights, but I really do not like due to how they achieved this in the long time since their exclusivity buyouts).

  1. Lego horizon Adventures looks neat, hopefully it has more depth than other lego games but i dont expect much. At least it looks pretty. Atm it isnt on steam, but it is announced that it will be.

  2. I am very hyped for Space Marine 2. This might be the best warhammer 40k game ever.

  3. I am optimistic for Star Wars Outlaws by the division devs(i liked division 1 and 2). But it isnt even on steam, so it will fail.

  4. Civilization 7 is definitely one of the most anticipated games ever.

  5. And hopefully Battle Aces will revive the rts genre.

Monster Hunter Wilds. It looks phenomenal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Probably stalker 2 but it's hard to work while being bombed by russians, lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

The game was already announced, but a new trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which I'm excited for.

But I don't play a very wide range of games.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nothing really got me excited. I have some interest in Civ 7 (if they don't make it like Civ 6), as well as that Spanish Inquisition themed souls like that ThePruld is working on. But I am not particularly excited.

The Finals Season 3 1000%

I absolutely love the first two seasons. I haven't enjoyed a game like this in years.

It's a bit sweaty but I feel like it can be pretty casual (out of ranked). Like the difference between playing a casual game of soccer or basketball compared to a competitive match of either. It takes strategy, teamwork and good game sense/skills to win a match as opposed to strictly kills. Idk, it's super cool and people should give it a shot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, people are totally sleeping on this game. It's really good. Very immersive with fun modes, solid gunplay, responsive movement, and interesting gadgets. And the tourney structure is so good!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I've never been excited for DLC before, but Street Fighter 6 adding Terry and Mai, from King of Fighters, was very unexpected. I think that was my favorite.

I've been playing Capcom vs. SNK 2 whenver I have a few minutes to spare these days: https://saltylike.us/@tuckerm/112482256002789207.

Anger Foot - I played the demo previously and its the only game I've played that recreates the feel and flow of Hotline Miami successful. Very much looking forward to the full game. I'm temped to buy it at launch, even for full price, which I don't think I've done since XCom 2's War of the Chosen DLC.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Honestly nothing there made me really exited. But if I have so give a favorite, I'll go with Black Myth: Wukong, even if the trailer showed nothing of interest

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Caravan SandWitch looks great, I just hope the game is not shallow

I have to catch up with the rest of the released trailers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Intrigued by the Dune mmo, but also, mmo? Wonder how long that'll last.

I don't play horror games, but do watch people that stream them, so it was good to see a bunch will be coming out for them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Sumerian six for that desperados itch. Every day we fight looks like a solid Valkyrie chronicles-like gameplay, shows promise. Streets of fortuna has potential to be something vast, need to see how that turns out. Age of mythology looks promising, long overdue. And lastly dungeon clawler for those who loved peglin but wished it was a claw game instead of Peggle lol

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

The new LEGO game and the Palworld update. The rest was, for me and in my eyes, ugly, boring, the wrong genre or all together.
