[xrnzaaas]

Silent Hill f will be my main focus, but I'll wait for the reviews to be sure.
Metal Eden is interesting and I loved Ruiner from the same studio, but I got frustrated with Ghostrunner and this game looks dangerously similar. Again - wait for reviews, maybe I'll check the demo.
I want to say MK Legacy Kollection, but I'll wait for the retail version.

A packed month for sure, but not many games based on my preferences.

 

[Baemono]

My backlog

 

[Windle Poons]

Out of that lot? Nothing.

 

[Little Mac]

Silksong the thread.

 

[Roufianos]

Silent Hill, Cronos and Hell is Us, but I'm not particularly convinced on any of them so they need to review well.

Otherwise, I'm currently playing Snake Eater and have finally grown the balls to play Sekiro after.

 

[Robb]

Silksong for me.

 

[Scrawnton]

Silksong and Trails in the Sky both on Switch 2.

 

[DragonNCM]

Metal Eden look & plays damn good also Silksong, Borderlands will wait for a heavy discount.

 

[Judge Magister]

Cronos The New Dawn
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Censorship
Silent Hill f Not sold on it
Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles No WotL content

How are you finding secure? I also have it installed ready to play but not touched it

 

[Lightbreak]

Silksong but im currently trying to finish Ender Lilies

 

[GrayDock]

My backlog, in this case Shinobi and The Thing, both for PS5, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on the NS2.

 

[Roufianos]

Sekiro? Haven't started it yet. Played it a few years ago but quit after an hour of punishment as I still hadn't got to grips with Souls games.

Beat Demon's Souls, Elden Ring, Neightrein and Dark Souls III since then but held off on Sekiro as I assume it's the hardest. I cheesed certain parts of those games but read that's not really possible in Sekiro.

 

[Fess]

Silksong

But I hope I have time for something else too. I don't expect to finish Silksong in a month and I've challenged myself to finish twelve games in twelve months, so I need something shorter as a side thing.

 

[John Bilbo]

ZeroRanger as I'm trying to improve my highscore.

Might dip into Earthion again with the hard mode.

Path of Exile 2 probably.

Silksong most likely unless it proves to be a dud.

 

[Nankatsu]

Death Stranding 2.

After finishing it already have Snake Eater on the pipeline.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

EA FC and maybe Silent Hill for new releases. Playing 100 defence
line academy rn and that should keep me busy for a while.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

See how I'm feeling after Delta.

Nothing on that list is standing out as a must-buy.

 

[Superposition]

I see a really busy period, but I'm really excited about it. There are some really good productions in terms of quality by this month specifically.

New ones I have planned for now:

- Cronos: The New Dawn
- The Order of Giants
- Silent Hill f
- Alien: Rogue Incursion

Additions from my backlog:

- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Lords of The Fallen
- Stellar Blade
- Star Wars Outlaws
- Metaphor: ReFantazio

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Maybe Sonic Crossworlds but I usually don't buy $70 games at release anymore unless they are really worth it to me.

 

[swaffles23]

Hollow Knight
Trails in the Sky
Final Fantasy Tactics

 

[killatopak]

SRW Y, SHf and maybe Silksong if I can squeeze some time.

Trails is a huge timesink if I do my usual routine of talking to everyone when an event happens so I'm not sure I'm gonna replay that.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Silksong is top priority. Other than that I will be dipping into my backlog to kick off the spooky Halloween season of gaming I always do from September through early November.

Not sure if I'll complete it, but I will definitely begin with Alan Wake Remastered.

 

[xrnzaaas]

By the way, anyone know what is the current state of Alien: Rogue Incursion? I remember that people complained how quickly xenos respawned and you pretty much didn't have any time for exploration. I assume this was improved since then? The game is on my radar, assuming they've spent enough time to make it enjoyable outside of VR.

 

[EerieArcade]

Silent Hill f and FFT. Alien: Rogue Incursion is a maybe.

 

[SunnySideGuy]

Got Borderlands 4 for $30 and that was the only price I'd want to pay for this. Don't love the series, but I can get my money's worth at that price.

 

[mèx]

Final Fantasy Tactics but only if the Classic mode is competent. The Enhanced mode looks like a bad joke.

I will end up playing Trails in the Sky 1st even if I don't enjoy playing faithful remakes, feels like a waste of time since I played the original and it's still fresh in my mind. But I'm a sucker for the series so I know what's gonna happen.

I'm tempted by Silksong but I was not especially smitten with Hollow Knight. Hornet looks fun to play as though.

Otherwise I will check what I have in my backlog and go from there.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Those look like a lot of good games that I have no interest in.

Borderlands is played out. FF Tactics looks like square did the absolute minimum amount of effort on the remake.

Probably play through mgs 1,2, and 3 this month. I'm interested in mgs delta but I gotta finish the original first.

Dead space remake and octopath 2 sound like good fall games to me that I already own. Plus maybe the Warhammer bolt game that's like old school doom.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Silksong all the way, day 1.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Currently giving We Could Be Heroes a bloody good kicking.

Unity game made by One Guy (@cebgames). Ragdoll physics, blood, weapons, decapitation. On hard difficulty, this is one of the most difficult beat em ups I've ever played and I've played A LOT of beat em ups. I'm really enjoying it, despite it's jankyness. Bring able to play as a pensioner with a Zimmer frame is a big bonus. It's both hilarious and disturbing.

 

[Beretta]

Silent Hill is a possibility but Mortal Kombat 100%, I can't wait.

 

[bender]

For sure: Everybody's Golf (don't have high hopes here) and Silksong
Maybe: Silent Hill f

 

[R6Rider]

There's a good chance I will get Cronos.

I was going to get MGS Delta at launch, but decided to wait because of the performance on PS5 Pro.

I don't really NEED to get anything as my backlog is already insane lol

 

[ssringo]

Silksong, MGS Delta and Dungeons of Eternity PC release (VR) for sure.

Depending on how things shake out I might try Little Witch in the Woods (coming out of early access) and Silent Hill f if the player feedback is as positive as SH2R was.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Durin]

Already got Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor on Steam. Played it randomly every so often to see how it's improved in early access, was already fun, but I'll definitely check it out again when it hits v1.

Got a backlog of other stuff though, including The Riftbreaker coming out with its co-op mode. Next week going to start the Gears 1 Reloaded campaign with a friend, since we never played that one together.

Final Fantasy Tactics & Trails in the Sky 1st chapter I'll likely get at some point, because the former is a classic, and the latter seems like a good entry point into the series.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Chronos the new dawn, FF tactics and Silent Hill F are day 1. Keen on Daemon x Machina too. Played the demo and enjoyed it very much. Silksong is on the radar too, just not day 1 since too many other games. And I wasn't the biggest fan of Hollow knight so it can wait.

 

[blacktout]

Silksong for sure.

I'm somewhat interested in Titanic Scion, but I'm going to wait for reviews to see if it has more depth and variety than the first game.

 

[marcincz]

Firstly I need to finish Sea of Stars.
Next probably, I am going to buy Hell is Us and Trails in the Sky.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Borderlands 4 and Silent Hill

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

• Silk Sawng
• Final Fantasy I C
• TitS FC

 

[Radical_3d]

Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree Edition…

 

[nemiroff]

Gray Zone Warfare
Arma Reforger
MSFS 2024 VR
ETS2 VR

 

[JimmyRustler]

Silent Hill I'll play in October. Cronos latest as well. Maybe this month though. Still undecided if to play Cronos or Mafia when I'm done with MGS.

 

[Killer8]

Silent Hill f is the main one. Got the UK steelbook edition on pre-order. I have a Cronos pre-order as well but the latest gameplay did not look great. I will wait for reviews before unwrapping it.

Also picking up Final Fantasy Tactics, the Switch 1 version, because Square Enix in their infinite wisdom decided this should be the only version with the game on the cart. Thankfully there is a free upgrade path available for Switch 2.

Lastly I am getting a physical PS5 copy of Everybody's Golf. The game looks low effort but it's retailing cheaper than usual so I will give it a chance. Need to send those signals to Namco Bandai to keep bringing back Sony games.

 

[Gonzito]

Dying Light The Beast

Cronos

Silent hill f

Hell is Us

And maybe, Borderlands 4
