Are there any games you are really looking forward to?

DRAGON QUEST TREASURES!!! It looks SO CUTE! I loved XI and Mia & Erik are ADORABLE AS CHILDREN. (Also I had the same thought as @Merielle when the game was first announced... I thought it was going to be a mobile cash grab game at first!) NOW THOUGH ITS SO AMAZING AND I EXCITEDDDDDDDDD.

The new Mario + Rabbids game!! I loved the original and I always thought the Rabbid things were cutee but I am so excited for the new game! I am totally sold!

DEFINITE EXCITEMENT FOR SPLATOON 3. I remember getting the original on my Wii U! My first splatfest was Art VS. Science since we finally fixed my internet on the Wii U so I could play online! Splatoon 3 looks like its going to be more like Splat 1 rather than 2 which is cool but I LOVE BOTH SO MUCHIE. I am SO delighted that Inkstrike is returning and now as 3 MINI INKSTRIKES?? Splat 3 is going to be best so #splatoon3supremacy.

I just found out there's a sequel to the indie game Coffee Talk coming out in 2023, and I am soooo excited. I loved the first one so much. It's such a chill, relaxing game with great dialogue. I'm gonna have to remember get a new SD card so I have room to download it when it comes out because I ran out of room on mine for digital games.

 

[angiepie]

I don’t really keep up on games like I used to, but I really am excited about Stray.

 

[Loriii]

Not sure at the moment as I don't keep track about upcoming releases as much. But maybe, Splatoon 3 just for Salmon Run. For the next few months, at least. I got my hands full playing Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West. Couldn't even get much time playing the latter because of ER.

 

[LuchaSloth]

Currently? Not really. I guess Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the only ones that are truly announced. I mean...definitely GTA6 (if they ever release it, or even announce it). Also, the next Elder Scrolls (same deal). Otherwise, there isn't much that comes to mind.

 

[azurill]

There are two games I am really looking forward to .

Hogwarts Legacy which isn’t out until the end of the year and Harvestella which comes out Nov 4th.

First is Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories!! I played the original Melon Journey and it was a really cute game, so I when they released the trailer for an improved sequel, I was really hyped! Melon Journey had a really cute story, loveable characters, and adorable graphics. I'm really happy they stepped up their game in the latest releases of the sequel.

Second is Monster Roadtrip! I have the rest of the Monster Prom series in my Steam, so I'm stoked for the next game in line. I haven't finished Monster Prom yet, but the game is such a blast that I bought the other games in the series too. The characters are so dumb and loveable. Looks like my beloved Polly is in the demo too. <33

Lastly is Little Witch in the Woods! It's actually on Steam now, but the demo is on Xbox Pass so I'm crossing fingers the full version gets released on there, too. Looks like a really cute pixel game!

finally caught up on the wholesome games direct the other day so now the list of games i'm looking forward to has grown exponentially... i think the main ones that i'm looking forward to are:
- lemon cake in september (you restore a bakery with a little ghost, and have lots of fresh ingredients within the store e.g. chickens for eggs, trees for fruit)
- potion permit in september (you're a skilled alchemist who gets called into a village to help treat everybody! can go around collecting ingredients etc)
- lonesome village sometime this year (more of a puzzle solving game, you're a fox i think? trying to figure out what happened to a village)

but honestly i was taking note of every other game throughout that direct lmao so my poor bank account better be ready

That game is adorable and so interesting!! I went to go look at it on Steam, and decided to add it to my wishlist too.

 

[rhinoo]

honestly at the minute im not really hyped for any game releasing this year, apart from pokemon scarlet and violet

although in the distant future im looking forward to paralives (life sim) and gta 6 (if it releases in the next 50 years)

 

[skarmoury]

That game is adorable and so interesting!! I went to go look at it on Steam, and decided to add it to my wishlist too.

Definitely! If you haven't played the first Melon Journey game, I highly suggest you do, it's a short and cute game and it's free too! <3

I'm really looking forward to The Outer Worlds 2, Mass Effect 4(or 5), Pokémon Scarlet/Violet and Starfield!
I'm very patient so I don't really mind waiting but I'm also really excited for all of these!

 

[Croconaw]

I’m really only looking forward to the release of the new college football game releasing in the next few years. I’m so glad it’s returning. The last college football game was NCAA Football 14.

Aside from that, I’m looking forward to the release of Pokémon Violet. I’m picking up that version and my favorite person is getting Scarlet. Maybe we can play together or battle when they finally release.

 

[Mairmalade]

Yes! Some more than others, but I'm really looking forward to checking these out when they release:

• Live A Live
• Mineko’s Night Market
• Pokemon Violet
• Two Point Campus
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3
• Bear and Breakfast
• Stray
• Witchbrook
• Harvestella
• Potion Permit
• Crystarise
• The Plucky Squire

Dinkum came out as early access on Steam, and I have been learning about the game and I am seriously considering getting it with my gift money I've been saving instead of another one I have been eyeing for some time. I through it into my wishlist for the time being. The discussions board on Steam for the game is blowing up with interest and questions about the game. To me, It just looks like a really fun game to chill in even if you play solo, which I do.

Spoiler: Me rambling

People are describing it as a cross between Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft. It was made by a single person and the game looks like alot of love was put into it. Reviews are saying there is quite a bit to do in it considering it is early access. It takes place in the Outback with a randomly generated map. You have a museum I guess to collect stuff and put it in there like fishing bug catching and whatever else I am a sucker for collectathons.... There are animals in it for farming or pets? some are wild that provide some minor combat and danger. It appears you can trap them. I don't know if that is how you get pets or farm animals though. There is farming and cooking. There are various activities in it you can do like there is a dirt bike and boats and something that looks like paragliding, and there is multiplayer. Caves and mining. There is a friendship thing on npcs and you build a town up. There is an achievement system similar to Animal Crossing.
And there is talk that it has been working just fine on Steam Deck. Cloudsave isn't a thing for now because of it being early access which isn't a problem for me.

So Stray was just released, and it looks really great! Unfortunately I don't buy digital, and the only physical release is going to be PS5. Still might grab a copy, since I'll probably get the PS5 eventually (maybe when Kingdom Hearts 4 is released.....).

i want to play stray but i dont have the money right now, however as soon as i get money i will be purchasing it. very excited to play it.

These feel like vaporware. The games I’m excited about don’t really get proper release dates, being further away ironically makes me think about them more-

Pizza Tower: Wario Land inspired indie with funny pizza man and god tier animation, love how the physics are etc. I know there was another game inspired by it too but with bombs but the name is escaping me. Antonblast or something. Not quite as interested but cool.

Zera: Myths Awaken: I played this back when it was still like “Spyro 4” demos and they were incredible compared to anything else on offer, Spyro fangames had all flopped until that point. I actually was looking forward to that fangame way more than Reignited and to this day I enjoy those demos way more than the remake. I’m honestly happier to see it become its own thing. I have not heard the best things about development under this team and updates come out sort of slowly but the demos I have played for Zera were kind of awesome. If the final game is that good it’s going to be special and fill a little gap in my heart.

Happy Hell: just for the aesthetic, I haven’t seen another 3D platformer with this look, and I don’t see other games with the rubber hose + aesthetic combo (it pretty much looks like my current avatar if that makes sense- I know there’s a name and I knew the name of the artist who made the Congratulations cover but it’s escaping me rn). The humor is entertainign so far anyway.

Hytale: No explanation needed. I have my worries with it being under Riot. At this point it’s just going to be modding MC1.18.2 for years or indefinitely. But I’ll definitely try Hytale once it comes out.

Whatever Supergiant games make next

I ordered Bayo 3 and I’m waiting for Xenoblade 3 in the mail.

@skarmoury goood taste lol

 

[zarf]

Oh man I was so so excited to get Bear & Breakfast but it turns out the switch version got delayed. Apparently the controls felt clunky so the devs are taking time to rework it. I really don't like playing on my computer so I'll wait until it finally comes out on Switch, still looking forward to it!!

 

[Newbiemayor]

I'm really looking forward to super bomberman R 2 I'm so excited also looking forward to slime rancher 2 later this year!
