1. Crimson Desert (if it doesn't get delayed to 2026) => That game will be mind blowing, it has an already brillantly designed map with different biomes, lots of easily recognisable POIs that allow you to locate youself on the map wherever you are, incredible LOD, an INCREDIBLE amount of castles, ruins, towns, villages, even big cities (City of Demeniss at the center of the map). Combat system is inspired from actual VS fighting games (which I'm a fan of), lots of good ideas taken here and there (free fall and powers from Zelda), climbing, some really good ideas from their own like brushwood being hard to traverse, so they can design a path around but not be enterily constrained by it (minor but genius idea in my book).
Still some unknowns but I'm confident this will be GOTY if GTA VI doesn't release in 2025.
2. MGS Delta => Not really hyped because it's a remake with almost no changes aside from graphics and animations remade, and I need confirmation of the online (most fun I had in a MP shooter game), but this one was incredible at the time, so still great to replay.
3. Metroid Prime 4 : Beyond => Not hyped at all. Another iteration of Prime yay... Like we didn't see everything there is to the formula already. But I'm a Metroid fan (I mean my username is inspired from this series) so I'll get it no matter what. But it's really time to get a real 3D 3rd person action/platformer/shooter Metroid that translate perfectly Super Metroid in 3D with all the acrobatics Samus can do. Other M was limited by its fixed camera and limited gameplay (blame Sakamoto for his love for the wiimote, and also scenario), and bad level design and music (blame Team Ninja), so no, it doesn't count as its gameplay roots comes from 2D and don't take any advantage of the possibilities offered by 3D spaces.
4. Oblivion Remake : if it gets announced and released in 2025. My favorite TES. But I really hope they made changes to the game, like entire revision of the progression system (no, I don't want to spend my time jumping around anymore), and the scaling system, and maybe make dungeons more unique. Or at least give us the choice. Still love the ambiance.
5. KCD Deliverance 2 : Curious about this one. Seems really good. I have the first one but still didn't play it.
Honestly there's not a lot of game for me this year, but I'm incredibly hyped for Crimson Desert. And of course I'm waiting for Switch 2 and new Nintendo games which will surely modify that list. Also disapointed in From Soft with NightReign. I guess Namco wanted to milk the cow as much as they could before the end of their partnership.

I'm not even excited for 5 games for 2025, so...
Xenoblade X?
Doom?
Whatever new Zelda gets shadow dropped? (lol)

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
5. Crimson Desert. I'm not very optimistic but a game that looks like a blend of Dragon's Dogma with other more RPG-y games and has elements of nuZelda and AssCreed sounds like it could be fun.
4. Gears of War E-Day. This series could use a return to form and this looks like the best chance and moment for it to happen. Excited to see it.
3. Metroid Prime 4. Didn't enjoy Echoes as much as the first one and haven't even played 3 but I dunno, I'm optimistic about this one. With all time in the oven I hope they are ready to deliver something very good.
2. Kingdom Come Deliverance II. I enjoyed the first game much more than I thought I was going to, and this one seems to be even better so yeah, really excited.
