Kenshi has been on my list for a while. Every sale I go “this is the one. I’m gonna buy it” then never end up doing it. Spider-Man I have been wanting too as well, but it’s too pricey for me personally still and with Sony killing PC ports I’m more hesitant to buy it
My next purchase will most likely be either Yes Your Grace 2 (all about choices and story) or Beyond Sandbox (modding platform for VR). Also considering Everwind and Toxic Commando but I’ll probably wait for some updates. I can’t remember if Road to Vostok is f2p or paid but that’s a day 1 either way for me.
But several old purchases I made are paying off now, Bellum and Glory To The Heroes are finally in testing phases…oh and Gloria Victis is officially coming back next month, it’s like if Chivalry was a janky ass MMO and I fucking love it.
I really enjoyed it. only complaint I had was that it felt a bit too railroad-y sometimes. As in, I almost felt forced to figure things out, with the UI holding your hands a bit too much.
I think I’m going to be picking up Screamer when it has its proper launch on Thursday. I’ve waited so long for a racing game like this to come out again. The only one I’ve had in the past 20 years was Trail Out. The Steam forums for this one are full of people asking who’s going to pay $60 for this when they can buy Forza Horizon, and the answer is me; I have no interest in Forza Horizon, but this is a racing game that speaks to people who don’t care at all about real world racing. Let me check people off the road. Make it over the top. Don’t bother with an open world. Screamer seems to be checking all of the boxes of what’s important for me in a racing game.
Yeah I have my eye on Screamer too, thinking it might finally be the game that gets me to move on from Split Second lol. We need more over the top action racers, some middle ground between like NFS and Mario Kart.
Guy on youtube doing 1+ hour deep dives into every Ultima game. I think there’s only one left. Super interesting, talks about the history of the game studio etc. Highly recommend!
Just got Deathloop, but currently doing MonHuntWorld so it has to wait. Was anticipating iceborne to go on sales so i can jump on the DLC right away but Capcom didn’t have any game on sales so maybe that’s the next thing i’m gonna get.
I pirated it to check it out after hearing about it, played through once and can’t bring myself to play it again, even though I really want to, because it demands my money and trying to do another run on the pirated copy makes me feel dirty.
I’ve got a substantial existing backlog of owned games and am trying not to just jump on more things until I’ve worked through some of that.
Some things that I’d buy anyway:
If Kenshi 2 comes out anytime soon. My expectation is that that’s years out.
If something like Caves of Qud comes out. I already have some roguelikes to play.
Additional good DLC for some games that I have been playing, like Starfield. The Rimworld DLC has been worthwhile.
If something like Steel Division 2 with Wargame: Red Dragon’s modern setting came out. Steel Division 2 has reasonable game AI and good quality-of-life features, but I personally enjoy the newer setting of Wargame: Red Dragon. WARNO isn’t that — it’s much too fast-paced for me and has less unit variety, feels to me like mostly just directing a constant flood of units. Less of the intricate deck-building that characterized the earlier two titles.
If Fallout 5 came out anytime soon, which I am very confident will not happen.
EDIT: If someone successfully comes out with some game that can be plugged into a local LLM backend — it’ll probably be a game in a new genre, simple ruleset run by the game with its own logic that an LLM is smart enough to reasonably play and generate text description for — I’d be interested in giving that a shot. There are some developers experimenting with that sort of thing, but I don’t think that we’re really there technically. Might not be possible to do this effectively with current LLMs.
EDIT2: I’d also go for a Noita 2 or Noita DLC. There is some developer working on an unnamed game for what looks like a Noita-alike that I discovered a bit back, but it’s in early development, and I don’t know whether the actual gameplay will wind up getting the kind of appeal that Noita has. I imagine that one could get similar mechanics but have a game that isn’t as appealing.

Probably God of war. I’m way behind in my gaming! Currently half way through The last of us part2.
I’d like to buy a house except I can’t because I’m fucked
Lunacid is wonderful. Don’t forget to grab the free game Lunacid: Tears of the Moon as well!
I don’t have anything specific that I’m waiting to buy, except for Into the Unwell when it gets early access release.
Didn’t know it existed, and it is using the old Sword of Moonlight makertool! Thanks!

I don’t know anything about Yes Your Grace, but it reminds me Warsim: The Realm of Aslonaim.
There was Dispatch and 1000xResist on there but I now bought both of those.
I guess once I had time to play them, the new LiS? But right now, kinda nothing. 😅
Blake Manor is really good
I really enjoyed it. only complaint I had was that it felt a bit too railroad-y sometimes. As in, I almost felt forced to figure things out, with the UI holding your hands a bit too much.
Looking forward this as well.
Slay the spire 2 is tugging my sleeve but I’ve got a bit more iron to process and that’s already paid for

Ultima underworld is amazing! Did Majuular get you into it too?
Who’s Majuular?

Well, If you give me a test of The History of Britannia, I will fail hard. xD

Esoteric Ebb.

That one looks promising, but Disco Elysium is still in my backlog, so I’m gonna wait until the day I have the mood for an adventure game.

Something like Qud is a tall order, Doors of Trithius is the only one I can think of. AI roguelite could be a fun thing to try xD
