[Bond007]

Pretty bleak year for me.
Only sure thing is Metal Gear Solid, NBA 2K25 and Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

Indiana Jones I would buy- but why with Gamepass? Will buy physical when it hits PS5- assuming it ends up being good anyway.
Call of Duty depends on friends
Star Wars, Assassins Creed, Astrobot, and Silent Hill will be based on what i read post release.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Indiana Jones and I'm happy to see it in the top 3.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Only Metaphor: ReFantazio pretty much...

 

[Darsxx82]

Wow, looking at this list, I didn't think I had so many desired games for the rest of the year... but look like Gamepass will certainly help me play many of them.

 

[AJUMP23]

I have a question, i see many people hyped for this one, but doesn't people absolutely despise modern madden? Isn't the game made by ea aswell?

I was worried about that too, but from what I have seen it looks like it plays looser than madden. We also haven't had a college game for 11 years. I hope it plays loose and fast like the college game. As long as the gameplay is fun and less of a rigid than madden it will be good for me.

 

[Punished Miku]

I have a question, i see many people hyped for this one, but doesn't people absolutely despise modern madden? Isn't the game made by ea aswell?

I was surprised when Todd Howard said it's his most anticipated title of the year in a recent interview.

 

[geary]

Once Human...

 

[El Muerto]

Not interested in reboots, remakes, semi-yearly releases (AC, COD), or spyware games from China. Definitely looking forward to Indiana Jones, Avowed, Flintlock, and Visions of Mana. Dont understand the hype for Astro Bot, but i can kinda see it as it's the only exclusive that looks good for the system.

 

[theStartupSound]

I’m looking forward to Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown (I hope, it feels like TDU), but it isn’t on your list.

 

[fudgybrownie]

Astro Bot, Zelda and visions of mana are the only ones that interest me day 1. But astro bot is probably the only one im gonna get right away.

 

[Damigos]

I dont know which of these i ll play, but i know for sure i will not play Dragon Age

 

[Mortisfacio]

I do enjoy the diversity of gaming genres (would love the RTS genre to make a comeback, though). Based on current polling, Astro Bot looks like a favorite. Personally it looks like a game I don't think I'd even play for free (I'm not a big fan of platformers). Same thing with past games like Hi-Fi rush. Those that played it seemed to love it, and I respect that games I don't like find success. With gaming so saturated by open world and GaaS, it's nice to have some other things mixed in.

 

[TrebleShot]

A few things but more than ever happy to wait for sales

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Spyxos]

Nothing really maybe Assa and Stalker 2.

 

[Topher]

Assassin's Creed: Shadows
Astro Bot
Avowed
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Metaphor: Fantazio
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Dragon Quest III HD-2D
Star Wars Outlaws (maybe)

 

[Pelao]

Flight Simulator and MAYBE Astrobot. Nothing else on that list really piques my interest.
I'm not even interested in the MGS3 remake because I have zero faith in Konami.
This year's lineup basically ended for me with the Elden Ring DLC, which seems crazy to me.

 

[Hudo]

I am looking forward to:

Age of Mythology: Retold
Metaphor: ReFantazio
Visions of Mana
Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
MechWarrior 5: Clans

 

[MikeM]

My backlog. No lies- its getting out of control.

 

[cormack12]

Too many for fucks sake. OP why do you depress me so

 

[SyberWolf]

Black ops 6 (gamepass)
Flight Sim to mess around (gamepass)
Indiana Jones (gamepass)
KC: Deliverance II
Metaphor
Stalker 2 (gamepass)
Star Wars Outlaws

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Always busy, there is never enough time to play all the good games out there. Aside from a few core series, I am usually years behind what I play. I might be there day 1 for Astro Bot and Brothership though, if only to encourage more of those kinds of games to be made.

 

[Lupin25]

Zelda, Metaphor, Black Myth, & Astrobot

 

[SmokedMeat]

Not much for videogames really. Fable if it looks and plays like traditional Fable.

Otherwise whatever good deals show up for what interests me.

 

[Killer8]

I really doubt Metal Gear Solid Delta is releasing this year.

 

[begotten]

Astro Bot & Visions of Mana the most.

Interested to see if MGS3 and SH2 do well. If remakes for the 2 most popular entries in their biggest Gaming IP bomb then Konami should just stop making games.

 

[adamsapple]

With a list like that Adam, do you get to complete most of these?

I’ve completed 7 single player games this year, and that’s taken some effort.

I doubt I'm finishing all those this calendar year, they're just the ones coming later this year I'm going to play for sure.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Astro Bot
Avowed
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl


Looks like the year of the backlog will continue with few interruptions. It has been real quiet for me since Rebirth.

 

[SpiceRacz]

If this is anything like the Astro’s Playroom, it will almost certainly be a game of the generation contender.

 

[Trilobit]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Cheers for reminding me that I wanted to play the first one. Was on sale on PS Store so I got the DLC too. Looking forward to try it out as I've heard very good things. Sure, it's on my PS5 and it's only the PS4 version, PC is probably leagues better. But good enough for me until the sequel arrives.

Edit: I really hope the new Indiana Jones game rocks. I don't have many games I look forward to, but the trailer intrigued me. I'm craving for some good old fashioned adventuring.

 

[Barakov]

Astrobot
Dragon Quest III HD-2D
MGS Delta
Metaphor : Refantazio
Silent Hill 2
Visions Of Mana
Ys X : Nordics
Slitterhead

The rest of the stuff on the list is stuff I'm not interested in or I'll get later.

 

[TheSweeper]

I have pre-ordered AC Shadows. Also looking forward to Star Wars Outlaws. But my most anticipated game ist Dragon Age Veilguard. Also keeping an eye on the new Life is Strange.

Those should cover the end of the year for me.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Too many to list here, so these are just a fraction of the games I'm planning on buying for just one system in the second half of the year.

Nice picks

 

[Shakka43]

Silent Hill 2 (pre-ordered)
AstroBot (Day One)
Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus

Interested in Black Myth but will wait for reviews.

 

[rkofan87]

dam my wallet is in pain right now lol and we said 24 was a slow year wrong.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[VeganElduderino]

Astro Bot, WarHammer , funko fusion , the plucky squire

 

[kingwingin]

Killing time remastered, the thing remastered and DQ3HD are basically it for me this year.

 

[Fredrik]

From that list:

• Assassin's Creed: Shadows
• Avowed
• Black Myth: Wukong
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
• Flight Simulator 2024
• Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
• Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
• Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
• Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
• Star Wars Outlaws

The Zelda game didn’t look like my type of game but my wife has preordered it and the kids are excited so I’ll at least watch that getting played.
Astrobot is interesting but I doubt it’ll be on PC until there is a Playstation launcher, so not for this year.

Everything will compete with Elden Ring so time will tell how much else I’ll have time to play.

 

[Puscifer]

Backlog and Stalker 2

I love my steam deck, going through all this stuff on my OLED screen is awesome

 

[Alan Wake]

September will be pretty huge with:

Stalker II: Heart of Chornobyl
Astro Bot
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (physical Deluxe edition)
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
And then there's Indiana Jones, Silent Hill 2, Plucky Squire and problably games I haven't even thought of yet.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Genuinely surprised at the hype for Astrobot, I uninstalled the first one fairly quickly.

I think Indy is my most anticipated title, but I'm not overly excited about it. Will definitely play that and COD via Gamepass, also might give Avowed a go, depending on reviews.

 

[EDMIX]

All the western rpg buffet to start.
Dragon Age
Avowed (getting on steam)
Kingdom Come Deliverence 2
Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines 2

You going to be eating good lol

A bit of the opposite for me, already have a huge back log and University classes for this fall is stacked so I can't really do much massive RPGs and will just work on a back log and try to complete Persona 3 remake and Gran Blue Fantasy.

Dragon Age and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 would be day 1s for me, but I just don't have the time this year. Same for AC Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws (but I feel I might buy them day 1 anyway lol)

We'll see.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

As a JRPG fan, the rest of the year has a steady stream of games. Thanks to GameStop trade promotions, I already have pre-paid:

Trails Through Daybreak (Jul 5)

Visions of Mana (Aug 29)

Astro Bot (Sep 6)

Reynatis (Sep 27)

Metaphor Re Fantazio (Oct 11)

Ys X: Nordics (Q4)

 

[Dazraell]

• Astro Bot
• Metaphor ReFantazio
• Life is Strange: Double Exposure
• Kingdom Come Deliverance II
• Mario & Luigi: Brothership
• Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall
• Broken Sword: Shadows of the Templars - Reforged
• Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

I've been looking up news about Avowed, VtMB: Bloodlines 2 and Dragon Age: Veilguard but these games have way too many red flags and I would rather want to wait for reviews and player's impressions after launch before making my mind. I'm also interested in Space Marine II and Star Wars: Outlaws but will most likely pick them up somewhere later on sale

 

[dano1]

Astro Bot. GOTY

 

[Solarstrike]

.

 

[Celcius]

Marvel vs Capcom Collection
Persona 3 Episode Aigis
Hopefully they announce the PC version of FF16

 

[darth.shrimp]

Visions of Mana
Space Marine 2
Echoes of Wisdom
(I got the first two weeks of September off from work, will put them to good use)

 

[LordOfChaos]

Excited for AoM: Retold. I hope it leads to a proper Age of Mythology 2, 20 years late
