Onto some other, less serious (tonally speaking) games, Moving Out 2 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk look like they will be a lot of fun. Larian Studios had already captured me with the two Divinity: Original Sin games, but this is just icing on the cake. I’ll be honest, I’ve already played more than I care to admit of the game’s early access, but in an age where RPGs are mostly just boring open world games with stats or arbitrary skill trees *glares at Horizon Forbidden West *, a game that genuinely understands what the role-playing part of a role-playing game is cannot be missed. Regardless, let’s go from the top.Īt heart, I’m a huge fan of RPGs, and nothing satiated that hunger for the next expansive and intricate RPG experience more than the impending release of Baldur’s Gate III. Two of my most anticipated games of the year are releasing, but there are also quite a few others that have me quite happy this month and will hopefully pull me away from Destiny 2 for long enough to momentarily forget how Bungie continually runs that game into the ground. Oh boy, here comes a massive month for me. And Baldur’s Gate III had a trailer dedicated to bear fucking so I dunno, I feel like that can hang with the strange ones this month. Nosebound, another black and white stylised affair actually, is riffing on old school point and click titles with a supernatural twist. No clue if the game is named after the song but assumedly a man is going to be coming around in this striking tale of politics, morally dubious choices and sim-lite resource management. Getting even stranger actually, The Man Came Around and Nosebound took me completely by surprise. Under the Waves is another industry oddity, with Quantic Dream taking the publisher reins of this gorgeous deep sea grief expedition. Sea of Stars marks the first time a game will be dropping on both Xbox and PlayStation’s library services on launch day, an already fascinating market move, even before you factor in how cool the game itself looks.

Locally brewed Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical has made a name for itself on the international market thanks to its utterly absurd cast and ambitious premise of a musical you can actually control, a pretty big claim I can’t wait to see play out. Bit of a shotgun blast to the face of obscure shit for me this month with a healthy smattering of unique and strange indies catching my eye.
