PC eating good this month. Quite a busy month with something for everyone I think. With Visions and Star Wars dropping late in August, trying to hold back as much as I can on day ones. Gamepass has me covered on some stuff (AoM) but also Astro Bot is tempting. Space Marine 2 as well looks a really good way to spend some money. Will have to pick up Zelda for the ole chain and ball.​

[darth.shrimp]

Space Marine 2, Zelda... and Visions of Mana, technically releases in August but I sure as hell won't beat it in only two days lol

 

[EMR]

Absolute day 1.

 

[R3TRO]

Starfield Shattered Space, Astro Bot, FFXVI pc, Dead Rising, Star Wars Outlaws, Gow:R pc.

When I look at that list…It looks expensive

 

[samoilaaa]

 

[Markio128]

Astro Bot is a day 1, and Plucky Squire once it hits PS+.

There are a couple of others that look interesting, Space Marines 2 and TDU.

 

[Punished Miku]

Zelda
Age of Mythology
Demon School
Star Trucker
Shattered Space
Whatever else pops up on Gamepass

Plucky Squire I'm for sure buying, but might wait a bit since I'm drowning in games. We'll see.

 

[Big Baller]

40KAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[TintoConCasera]

Backlog, for now it's Wukong and the Phoenix Wright AA Trilogy.

Out of that list I'm very interested in Space Marine 2 and FF XVI. Maybe Plucky Squire too.

 

[Labadal]

Backlog + Ace Attorney Investigations Collection

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I'll be playing these 3 titles from the ones listed in the OP:

That said, I'm also buying Attorney Investigations Collection (Switch), The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (Switch), Cocoon (PS5), Yars Rising (Switch), Balatro - Special Edition (Switch) and Indika (PS5) - these are all physical releases coming in September.

 

[Efe]

 

[Schmendrick]

Frostpunk and Plucky Squire look great.
Space Marine 2 is a maybe.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

The "When is the next Playstation Showcase (PS5 Pro edition) and do we see the Pro in action at TGS" game.

All. Month. Long.

 

[Alpha Male]

I'll be playing Age of Mythology and Ara History Untold

 

[Pelao]

Age of Mythology on Series X, Astrobot on PS5, and Into the Radius on PSVR2.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Space Marine 2 for sure. I want to play Astrobot and Dead Rising as well. Still curious about Plucky Squire too.

 

[ReBurn]

Astro Bot and Starfield: Shattered Space for new games. I picked up the free Callisto Protocol from EGS so maybe that for a while, too.

 

[Robb]

TLoZ: Echoes of Wisdom is the big one for me!

Saving Astrobot and Plucky Squire for later.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Astro Bot, Lollipop Chainsaw, Plucky Squire. Probably some backlog. Currently finishing Callisto Protocol.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

MLB the Show, Madden 25, and ea cfb

 

[simpatico]

Realizing Space Marine II is just a reskinned World War Z took a lot of air out of my hype balloon. The first Space Marine was a regular ass single player game. I assumed Space Marine 2 was the same, but with co-op added. This seems to not be the case. Space Marine II is a multiplayer only game that you can technically play alone. I liked World War Z for what it was, but it's not something I'll get vocally hyped for. I'll check out SM2 when it gets a good sale.

GoW:R desperately needs a sale price to be worthwhile. More of an exploratory playthrough just to seee how far the mighty have fallen rather than an exciting gaming experience. Astro Bot looks pretty good, but if it was released in the PS2 era it would be seen as an average looking platformer. Its current hype depends on it being the only game in the genre this gen.

 

[Rockman33]

Should add starfield expansion to this list.

 

[R6Rider]

Only game for sure I'll be playing is Astro Bot. Space Marine 2 depends on how it performs.

 

[saintjules]

Absolute day 1.

I'm interested in this. Being I haven't played any of the prior games, anything I need to be aware of? I'm sure a story recap will be needed.

 

[Mownoc]

Astrobot. Need to support that type of game and hope we see more of it from Sony in the future.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Likely no new releases unless there is a good sale, but I will certainly be playing Astro Bot and Zelda at some point. Backlog for me, getting started on some spooky games.

 

[The_hunter]

I'm interested in this. Being I haven't played any of the prior games, anything I need to be aware of? I'm sure a story recap will be needed.

SM1's story is fairly basic, not in a bad way. The story is just you fighting the bad guys.

The gameplay is very good, very 7th gen. It's god of war 3 with guns.

 

[Antwix]

Age of Mythology, Frostpunk 2, CoD beta, probably some Diablo4 here and there.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Backlog as always.

High on Life: it’s crazy how the hours melt away when playing something you’re really into, but a shorter 10hr game like this just drags. Part of me just wants to power through it hoping it gets better, but I’m struggling. It’s not even the humor that bugs me, but the gunplay which is sorta eh…Same with general traversal and the second bounty stage is repulsive for some reason. I hate the color choices.

 

[jshackles]

Zelda for me, and Visions of Mana from my "August backlog", I suppose. Want to play Space Marine 2 badly, but I told my son I'd wait to play it co-op with him when his school semester ends in a few months.

 

[The_hunter]

I'm interested in this. Being I haven't played any of the prior games, anything I need to be aware of? I'm sure a story recap will be needed.

Some additional context, Space Marine 2 was originally planned at Relic, but was ultimately cancelled. Seeing it be revived at a different studio was a real surprise.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Genetically-modified super soldier from a corpse-worshipping dystopian empire fights even worse shit. Also, fuck Leandros.

Gameplay-wise, think Gears of War without cover and with more melee.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Astro Booty

 

[Mr Hyde]

Plucky Squire, depending on when the physical release drops.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm gonna get Plucky Squire once it gets physical release.

 

[Mahavastu]

Astro Bot is a day 1, and Plucky Squire once it hits PS+.

You probably already know, but Plucky Squire is day one on PS+ extra (17th of september)

 

[Shifty1897]

Absolute day 1.

Holy shit, did you just sell me on a game with three gifs?

 

[Boralf]

Probably Satisfactory 1.0 release.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Astrobot, Warhammer and Plucky Squire are day 1, Dead Rising I'll pick up during a quieter period like December.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Same as in August. Hunt: Showdown 1896 and No Man’s Sky.

Probably in October as well..

 

[Buggy Loop]

The Plucky Squire so far. I think Zelda reviews will twist my arm and be a surprise must play but I'm putting it on the side for now.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Only Astro Bot it seems. When I am done with Black Myth anyway.

 

[Aion002]

Age of Mythology for sure.

Also, my backlog... I will try to finish Stellar Blade, then TLU 2 Remastered and get the Rise of The Ronin platinum all that while also working on finishing Remnant 2 on hardcore veteran difficulty.

 

[dorkimoe]

[existensmaximum]

Epic Mickey, Plucky Squire and Astro Bot - provided they all are released on physical media

 

[FunkMiller]

SEPTEMBER IS BLUEBERRY MONTH, BOYS. NOTHING ELSE.

SEPTEMBER IS BLUEBERRY MONTH, BOYS. NOTHING ELSE.

 

[Quasicat]

I rebought a PS5 yesterday so I could replay Astrobot’s Playroom and to play the new Astrobot. I wanted to wait until it hit PC, but I’m very impatient at times.

 

[Plague Doctor]

I am waiting out for that 90% to 100% clearance sale for the fucking GOATs Concord and Dustborn this September!

I will make out like a bandit with the defining games of this generation!

Don't fucking @ me haters!
