I'm still going to get Yakuza Kiwami 3 since I got a very good deal on a retail copy. Resident Evil 9 also looks interesting, more than RE8 which for me was a mess of a ton of different ideas.

New Styx - I'll wait for the reviews about the state of the game. Ride 6 is going to be deep sale just like the previous entries.
 
This month is kind of interesting for me.

I was planning to skip Nioh 3, but honestly I've been craving something new. I've been replaying games for almost two months now, so I'm seriously considering picking it up on Steam.

Resident Evil is a guaranteed buy. I love the franchise and there's no way I'd ever skip one.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is more of a maybe. There's a modder called Razed, well known for his GTA V work, and he's currently improving the game's lighting, water shaders, and even textures. He actually showed me some progress privately, and it looks very promising. If the mod is ready at launch I will probably just get the game

There was another game I was somewhat interested in, Styx, but after trying the demo, it felt way too similar to the previous entries. The recycled animations especially killed a lot of my excitement.

High on Life 2 is one of my most anticipated titles of the year.

Towerborne I've already played extensively, but I'll try it again at 1.0.
Love Eternal I might get if it's cheap, but will likely wait for a sale if its overpriced.

Will likely get on sale much later:
  • Resident Evil Requiem
  • Dragon Quest 7
  • Nioh 3
  • Lovish
  • Romeo is a Dead Man
  • Reanimal
  • Styx Blades of Greed
  • No Sleep for Kaname Date
 
Finally, some new releases.

I'm locked in on DQVII, Mario Tennis Fever, and Reanimal. That's gonna be a great week and will keep me busy right through to March! There's others I'm interested in too but they will have to go on the wishlist.
 
I need to demo Nioh 3 and Resident Evil 9 first but they do look very enticing. Keeping an eye out for Romeo Is A Dead Man and hoping it breaks the Suda51 curse.

I wonder how good Mario Tennis actually will be. Latley, I have been pretty disappointed in Mario sport games.

I may be grabbing Romeo Is a Dead Man though!
 
Wait, that Tomb Raider remake is out that soon? Will be getting that alright. I'll try out Dragon Quest 7 and Resident Evil 9 and probably wait and see reviews and player input into others.

I love my indie roguelikes so I'll definitely pick up a bunch of those too. Hope Mewgenics hits the right spot.

Edit - Seen Monster Train 2 is getting DLC on Feb 2nd too for $10 and then a free content update on the same day.
