Atomic heart and coh 3 for me.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Most excited for Like a dragon ishin and sons of the forest. Buying 4 of the games on this list, and gamepass one. Insanity.

 

[ULTROS!]

Theatrhythm (not listed) and Octopath Traveler II for me though.

 

[AJUMP23]

Company of heroes 3 is my top pick for the month. They even advertised it on Hardcore History. Dan Carlin knows it is a good game.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Wanted: Dead, Octopath Traveler II, Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Atomic Heart, those I'll play for sure.

Company of Heroes 3 is a maybe, and Wild Hearts looks very cool too, but it's EA.

 

[The_hunter]

I'm looking forward to Drainus on the switch from team ladybug. Kirby returns to dreamland always wanted to play that.

Yakuza looks great, wanted dead is a maybe. Octopath 2 and the final fantasy music game I'll wait a bit before getting those.

 

[anthony2690]

I have Hogwarts Legacy & Wild Hearts this month and I'll play Atomic Heart on game pass

I am interested in both Like a Dragon Ishin & Wanted Dead but I'll grab them later on when I have time to play them & they are hopefully a little cheaper

 

[kunonabi]

Wanted: Dead and Octopath Traveler II for sure. Like a Dragon: Ishin! as well assuming they don't screw it up.

 

[Clover904]

I’ll be picking up Horizon via the psvr2 bundle. Happy to see so many games get free psvr2 updates, so we’ll all have plenty to play with just the psvr2 purchase.

Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil 8, No Man’s Sky, Job Simulator…

 

[G-Bus]

Is Son's of Forest not releasing on console same times as PC?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Wanted: Dead and Octopath Traveler II for sure. Like a Dragon: Ishin! as well assuming they don't screw it up.

Not gonna lie, the hadokens and the horrendous UI got me a little bit worried, but I'm sure the game will be cool nonetheless.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Theatrhythm (not listed) and Octopath Traveler II for me though.

Same, I'm such a FF dweeb I've been saving up pennies for months to get the super premium complete deluxe edition of Theatrhythm and will play it forever.

 

[Andyliini]

Theatrhythm for me. Also maybe Octopath Traveler II down the line, I didn't really enjoy the gameplay of the first one.

 

[sumdumfuk]

I’m gonna be a wizard bro.

Oh, and Gameranx is passe

 

[belmarduk]

I'm going to pick up Hogwarts Legacy for sure and maybe Octopath Traveler II although I never played the first one. I have an insatiable lust for RPGs!

 

[jshackles]

Theatrhythm, Octopath II, Ryza 3, and Hogwarts Legacy for me in February. Gonna be a busy month!

 

[Punished Miku]

Octopath 2, Wanted Dead, Atomic Heart, Gamepass. Gonna be a fun time.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Octopath 2 (never played the 1st) and probably Yakuza Ishin down the line.

 

[Danjin44]

Only Octopath Traveler 2 for me.

Theatrhythm, Octopath II, Ryza 3, and Hogwarts Legacy for me in February. Gonna be a busy month!

Unfortunately that game got delayed to Match 24th.

[marcincz]

Horizon + PSVR2 for me.

 

[jshackles]

Only Octopath Traveler 2 for me.

Unfortunately that game got delayed to Match 24th.

Guess that answers my "which game should I play first" question.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm very confident about Wanted: Dead now after the latest IGN preview. Looks a lot slower and more deliberate than I was expecting based on Ninja Gaiden / Devil's Third. Really seems like the gun and sword are fully integrated with takedowns now, similar to John Wick / Gunkata. Similar to MGS CQC stuff.

 

[Sub_Level]

Like A Dragon: Ishin

I studied the blade….

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Although February is the shortest month of the year, that doesn’t mean it's short on great games to play. Here are 9 of the biggest games releasing in February 2023.

Set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy is a single-player RPG where players get to experience life as a student at the esteemed wizarding school. The game is set in the 1800s, 100 or so years prior to the original book series, and has an original story created by the development team at Avalanche Software. This unfortunately means you won't run into Harry, Ron, or Hermione during your time at Hogwarts, but you will get to create your own character, get sorted into a house, attend classes and forge your own–wait for it–legacy.


Atomic Heart, the debut game from developer Mundfish, is a first person shooter that takes place in an alternative reality 1955. The USSR has defeated Nazi Germany thanks to advances in robotics and now the Soviet Union is using that tech to make everyday life easier. That is until the AI turns on humans and starts killing everyone–classic.

Lightfall is the Year 6 expansion for Destiny 2 that features a new story set in the neon cyberpunk city of Neomuna on planet Neptune, where people who escaped the Collapse created a metropolis over the past centuries without the Last City knowing. Lightfall will include new enemies and allies, another Darkness subclass called “Strand”, and updated in-game features.

This month will also see the release of some new hardware in the form of the PlayStation VR 2. However I won’t be diving into the specs of that device in this video, instead we’re talking about the biggest game that will be released for it.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is set in the same universe as Aloy's adventures in Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. This time around players are cast as Ryas, a Shadow Carja who has been broken out of prison. The game is also not third-person like the mainline games, its first-person and of course, fully in VR.
