Nothing major left on my radar, I'll be planning to pick up Mortal Kombat Kollection and Blood Remaster, maybe Terminator No Fate and Styx 3 as well. Project Motor Racing is a big unknown so I'll wait for the impressions.

Other than that I'll be trying to finish some games since as always I start too many of them. :)
 
I have been playing recently Conker Live and Reloaded, Hollow Knight Silksong, Resident Evil 7, Fast Fusion, and Hades 2. I want to eventually get into Death Stranding 2 at some point this year (need to finish directors cut though.) I also want to get around to playing Crow Country again this year. The last few games I plan on picking up this year are Ghost of Yotei, Kirby Airiders, Wheel World, and Metroid Prime 4. Its a really exciting end of the year and even for games this year. I have played so many good games this year already.
 
Steam
Broken Sword 2 Reforged
Baldurs Gate 3 (I swear I'm going to play this)
Borderlands 4
Steam backlog is too long to list


Nintendo Switch 2
Mario Galaxy 1&2
Donkey Kong Bonanza
Kirby Forgotten lands

PC Gampass
Keeper
Hogwarts Legacy
Expedition 33 (I'm gonna play this eventually)
Plague Tale 2

Epic Game Store
Plague Tale 1

Sorry Sony, I no longer have a PS5. Your gonna have to put your games on PC if you want my money
Same with you Microsoft. You both lose.

Currently playing Silent Hill f, first NG+ run (which I think means 1.5 more to go)

Next is Ghost of Yotei, I played the first 90 min or so the day it unlocked but put it down until I finished SHf. I intended to set SH aside after one play through, play and finished GoY, and then come back for SH NG+... but by the time I finished that first round of SHf, I was way more into it than I expected.

After that will be Metroid Prime 4.

2026
RE9
Onimusha 5
Pragmata
GTA 6
???

Onward and upward.

I am going to finish Ghost of Yotei, then Death Stranding 2, next I will focus on MGS Delta alongside Ninja Gaiden 4, followed by AC Shadows and GranBlue Fantasy Relink.

Then I will get my Rise of The Ronin and Wuchang platinum trophies.

I might buy this year Silent Hill F, but that's it for the year.


For 2026 I am interested on RE9, Nioh 3, the new Onimusha and Crimson Desert.

I need to add Persona 3 Reloaded to my "Want to Play" list. I put a good 10 hours into it and it's great!

Going to keep playing Warcraft Reforged with custom campaigns/campaigns/multiplayer and later sub back to WoW in December to prepare for Midnight. Will check out Routine or Skyblivion if they actually managed to come out this year.
 
For the remainder of the year I plan on picking up the following games on switch 2:

Dragon Quest 1+2
Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment
Metroid Prime 4

And I want the Yakuzas and Persona 3 on Switch if I can get a Black Friday sale.
 
Finish Ghost of Yotei. Then Totk and Keeper (not which I'll play first). Then Tainted Grail. Still gotta finish Oblivion as well.

I might try Outer Worlds 2 as a goodbye to Game Pass.....unless it sucks.

I'm pretty much set
 
I paid for MK Kollection and NG4 Deluxe on PS5. I preordered Metroid Prime 4 and Dragon Quest 1 & 2 on Switch.

Still playing FFT, BL4, and Cronos. I'll stick to FFT and NG4 for now.

Now just lock me in the basement till 2026.
 
Currently just absorbed by final fantasy tactics ivalice chronicles. Stopped my Yotei playthrough dead in its tracks to play nothing but FFT.

Yotei lost its pull around hour 30.

Thinking I'll pick up Absolum since I loves SOF4, potentially yakuza 0 for switch 2, maybe hades 2 on switch 2.

The only guarantee is ninja gaiden 4. Counting down the days. Hype at maximum velocity.
 
I have a brand new PS5 Pro and Switch 2 in my closet waiting to be opened. This is gonna be what Christmas looks like for me:

Switch 2- mario kart world, Kirby Air-Riders,
Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid 4, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, SpongeBob: Titans of the Tide, Mario Galaxy 2, Star Wars Outlaws

PS5 Pro
Kingdom Come 2, death stranding 2, ghost of yotei, hitman psvr2, alien rogue incursion, thief vr, Arc Raiders, Dying Light: The Beast, Metal Gear, Borderlands 4, Battlefield 6, little nightmares 3, Vampire: Bloodlines 2, Where Winds Meet, Skate

Along with a brand new OLED tv to play it all on.
