Super excited for this. Nioh 2 was my second favorite souls game only being topped by elden ring. This boss fight looks intense.

Hopefully still in the works and not gone the way of Beyond Good & Evil

Will pick up hbo max for a month when season is finished and binge. Looking forward to it.

Hopefully true. It would be nice to have our own version of Starfield.

@whitejessegpfc I enjoyed Returnal. I wouldn't say that made it easier adding coop just another way to take on the game. I am very bad at hard games so much so that for souls games I usually have to way over lvl my stats to beat many areas. Returnal I feel rewards greed to a point and like most rogue likes you just need those good drops to happen once to beat a level.

I'm excited for those who haven't played Fallen Order. As a big Stars Wars nerd, that game hit the sweet spot at least until the remake of KOTOR comes out.
Fallout 76 will be my first download and see how close to fallout 4 it is. I did like the building mechanics. Lots and lots of turrets in my future.

Interested, however I'm not sure about the ui choice. It looks like a constant screen tear. I think I would get used to it, but initially it is jarring.

Great list. Almost the same as mine. I wouldswap last of us for Pathfinder WOTR.

Elden Ring not even on the list. Took some guts to leave that great game off the board. Might have to jump in on these trails series on the cheap.

Bannerlords has been on my radar. This pushed it to a purchase, just not yet as I have to finish too many games atm.

I really like the art style. I don't think ill get the game, as Im not much of jrpg fan anymore, but I may watch some videos of people playing it for a bit.

True, I grew up on original so missed the spoilers a bit

@Cyberpsycho from what I gather, this game takes place before 7 so it makes sense to play it now.

Like to add a write in: Pathfinder Wraith of the Righteous. 4 points. Have not finished so can't give it a 5.

Looking forward to this. I'm on the fence on this game. The more I see the closer I'll get to a decision.

I remember coh on my pc back in the day. It was quite fun. Looking forward to this.

The music is fantastic in that trailer. Hope it is in the game as well.

You had me at "isometric Skyrim"

Great month! One of my favorite sci-fi epics along with one I almost bought many times.

@sanderson72 same, finishing act 2 ATM.

This game looks interesting. I'm always up for more crpgs.

@Tyrii I have been playing Pathfinder wotr and the previous kingmaker. The controls work really well.

I'm looking forward to this. I played the pen and paper 40k once and I liked the lore. Owlcat does have a few technical issues with there games, but they support it with continuous fixes.

Maybe Steelrising. The rest still too high for those I don't already own.

Great review. Is this mostly single player or online or both? If it is viable to play mostly single. I'm in.

I recall reading their ceo stated they will make games to make money not necessarily the best games. We will see what that means on quality.

Sometimes it's just too much talking, I'm looking at you Plague Tale Requiem. I'm all for hint options or even press R3 for a hint, but having the puzzle all but solved can be annoying.

Only a third through and left for other games, but I will be back. Loved the sound track. Low Roar has become a permanent stay on my Playlist. Sadly Low Roars front man, ryan karazija, has past away recently. His melodic voice with great writing will be missed.

This came out of nowhere for me. Fun storyline. May pick this up on sale.

Graphics still look fantastic. Hopefully it's locked 60 on ps5.

Super saiyan sonic. Nice touch.

VR not for me to buy. I'd like to rent and play for a weekend or so, but still to gimmicky for me to own.

Hoping for fall 2023 release. Its very quiet on the news front though.

@Ward_ting play the extra games and when finished the new games should be on sale. Might be hard if you have FOMO and your friends are playing the new games. Great way to save money though, usually my route.

@Uromastryx very true, would be messy

Curious why games breaking street dates have different rules than books. If a retailer breaks a street date on a book, most of the time if another retailer can prove it, then they in turn can sell the item early.

Looks fun. I'm not a big fan of the pallet choice. It could just be the level of course. It reminded me alot of fallout 3 Era, where many games used the brown pallet tone.

@VivatGrendel I have not had any crashes. I am using my PS5 though. I'm also only in act 2.

Looking forward to some nioh 2

Nice! I'm still working my way through act 2. I'm enjoying it. The battles are fantastic. Just reached level 7 and im now able to ride my wolf animal companion. Adding more to this great game is great news. I will pick it up once I finish my first play through...or maybe second.

See biomutant half off. Might finally buy it at that price knowing it's issues.

I said good as it is better than meh, but really not quite good yet. Anytime you get the ability to earn free money it is above meh. The biggest change that needs to happen is to move it directly to the ps5. I'd almost consider this the beta as they work out the kinks, see what people are striving for and adjust accordingly when it launches on the console itself.

@Flaming_Kaiser ungh...losing that much time would put me off as well.

@BritneyfR_ee ouch that's rough. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I think I had a crash or two, but that was about it. If you have a ps5, maybe give it another go? Haven't played it yet on ps5. The hardware may help with that I would hope.

@Titntin hope you get a chance to play it. Quite fun. I'm sure it's very cheap now too.

@Titntin not sure if you played Lego Worlds, but that is just an open sandbox for you. My daughter and I I used to play it for hours, exploring, unlocking new legos, and discovering what each random world had to offer.

Just had a big patch. Also owlcat stated the are committed to patching this game in perpetuity.

Great review! I would add that the difficulty is so flexible, anyone can play even with its complexities. You just might not understand why things work or don't on extreme easy, just happy they do.

@Gamer_Guy I'm about 15 hours in and it is very similar to Kingmaker. This WOTR doesn't have the horrible must be @ point a by point b time or game over system that knigmaker had. I true win.

Doesn't look souls like. More akin to immortals phoenix rising. A pick up at a deep sale for me.

Was able to join, but quite the hassle. It often just stayed grayed out when I tried to continue. Also said a couple times that I am not eligible, but then went through. I saw an asterisk saying could take up to 2 months to join. As of now I'm in. Level 1. Won't go up much this year, but nice to have a chance at free stuff. Good luck signing up all.

So..innovative take...maybe a turn-based witcher or a tell-tale-esque game. Or maybe a mage school game ala hogwarts?

A game I come back to from time to time. Check a random planet do a couple missions. Quite impressed with all the support they keep giving it.

@kyleforrester87 @ErrantRob Since they didn't limit character creation there are some poor choices of created characters for the Wotr campaign. I recommend looking up guides at least for what not to make. Noting this, I will say at least on normal so far you can get through it even with broken characters. There are huge amounts of difficulty adjustments that you can make to suit your needs. Plus there are a plethora of build guides to help on YouTube, reddit and such. I know pathfinder the tabletop quite well so if you have questions please ask as well. Anxious to hear what you both make.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit even though my Main is terrible so far. I made an oracle taking a curse that staggers me the first round of every fight, but gives me uncanny dodge the rest of the fight. So basically I can't move at first, use a crossbow that I'm terrible with, and by the time I get there to help I miss half the time with my melee lol.
