going to keep this super simple this year 25 - crypt custodian PC 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HqGHyHiJlY it's, I don't know, Spiritfarer as a Metroidvania? I'm not sure I believe in this game super much but man I see that zoomed out map and that tone and say yep, I'll check that out. 24 - quartet PC, Switch Q1 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWqCXSxACHA I'm paying a lot more attention to the indie jrpg space after crimson echoes was so surprisingly good. quartet is the second game from this developer after shadows of adam, a game I haven't played but always hear good things about. I've been meaning to jump in but kinda decided that it'd be better to just jump into quartet. 23 - persona 5 tactica PC, consoles 11/17/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5aBbuInWvs 22 - persona 3 reload PC, consoles Q1 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIIPXA2A6cM I'll take these two together. there are so many dumb persona spinoffs and remakes and I never know if I should care about them. I mean, I care about persona 3, easily my favorite in the series, but I don't need yet another remake, especially one that eschews the stuff that made P3P so good. but... I'm curious to see what it's all about, and it's on game pass which means there's no investment needed to drop in and bail. tactica looks kinda stupid, like persona q, a game that blended two things I rather enjoy but ended up being less than the sum of its parts. but man, a tactics game using the phantom thieves motif? sure, as a game pass game, I'll check it out. 21 - eiyuden chronicle: hundred heroes PC, consoles 2023? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q08tFwYlNEc I've been on a suikoden kick lately, and while this game never jumped out at me like other RPG revivals, I need to see what the OG can do some 20 years later. eiyuden has been pretty silent the last year or so and I imagine it's going to get pushed to 2024. that said, these games never look all that interesting until you get in and see the game's politics take over, and suddenly you're hooked. hoping that's the case here. --- xyzzy ...

Eiyuden was delayed to 2023 in June 2021. Maybe they'll keep delaying it until the Switch 2 comes... Top list for me is something like:

20 - hollow knight: silksong PC, consoles 2023? haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSfuFlhsxZY https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/1/0/AACmyGAAEmKu.jpg 19 - apollo justice trilogy PC, consoles early 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4M9VfoAC68 yeah I've played all these and there's probably nothing new in this package. I'm excited for it to come though because it will mean that I can officially retire my 3ds. having all these games in a super accessible place like switch or pc means that they'll live on well beyond those old dead consoles. also I love that this is called apollo justice trilogy - give the man his flowers. 18 - super mario bros wonder Switch 10/20/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JStAYvbeSHc&pp=ygUGd29uZGVy what a terrifying fever dream. I kind of hate everything going on here. the character voices, the things talking in level, the strange physics.. man I have no idea if I even want any of this. but man, it's a god damn trip watching some of the stuff in this trailer, and it's probably going to be expertly crafted. I hate how good some of these recycled mario games can be. 17 - super mario rpg Switch 11/17/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r5PJx7rlds speaking of recycled mario games! I really do like this silly little game even if I make fun of it all the time. I put the original in front of my then 9 year old last year and he really liked it - until he got towards the back half of the game and the isometric platforming got too annoying for him to stick with it. I look at the trailer and it just looks like a faithful recreation and nothing more, but I bet there's all sorts of cute quality of life stuff in here and new content to try to justify a 60 dollar price tag. 16 - mortal kombat 1 PC, consoles 9/19/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ6eFEjFfJ0 yeah man I play mortal kombat for the story. it's so good! the way these games play out endear me to these 25 year old characters in a way that street fighter or other fighters wish they could. mk10 and 11 had incredible story modes that were worth just watching, if nothing else. I'm not here to do fatalities and study the meta. I'm here to watch whatever dumb scenes cage and scorpion and kitana are going to get into as they expand the MK lore. --- xyzzy ...

15 - aero gpx PC March 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTvmVGMkyoA this year's F-Zero GX clone, but I played the demo during the kickstarter and it actually nails exactly what you want out of another one, the feeling of speed and the responsive movement that a game like wipeout lacks. hopefully it comes to other platforms as well as PC because this kind of game feels like it belongs on a couch. 14 - prince of persia: the lost crown PC January 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmX7a_e65uU this dates me, but I loved the original Prince of Persia back on PC back in like 1990 or whatever. this game kinda looks like that, a much more responsive 2d action game with some metroidvania elements. it looks pretty snappy as a pure action game, and I doubt it's a full on metroidvania in the same spirit as a metroid or an ori, but I want to see what this becomes. 13 - dungeons of hinterberg PC, Xbox 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7-3NsH82HA I'm honestly not 100% sure what exactly this game is. it looks like a zelda-like action-adventure game, but also has some pure combat areas, puzzle dungeons, and also some procedural elements? either way, the art style is great, kind of like Sable but also its own thing. 12 - the expanse: a telltale series PC, consoles July 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNbOYZVavbg the expanse is great and seems like a great fit for the walking dead formula. the main character, carina drummer, is a perfect main character in one of these kinds of games. she's not a so-called "gray" character but you can see her doing the paragon or renegade choices equally. they even got cara gee to voice her. I miss the show so I'm looking forward to having her back. 11 - nova roma PC 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU5GB-PUDz4 I love small-scale city builders. I can't do a full-on Cities Skylines but something like a Banished is absolutely my thing. this game looks kinda similar to Banished and I like the roman aspect of the building. I'm always looking for another game that brings the same magic that Banished did. --- xyzzy ... Copied to Clipboard!

10 - metaphor ref--the persona spinoff thing pc/consoles 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btHGCpUPjPk kinda not sure what to make of this just because it looks like persona 6 but isn't. I'm tentatively just keeping an eye on it to see if worthy of main series-like hype or if this is just somehow the next spinoff. it looks like it might be a class based turn based jrpg, based on the character names? I don't know. right now it's just a lot of style without knowing the substance so I'll wait patiently and try to see if it's worthwhile. if it is real, it probably gets delayed 2-3 times like a proper persona game should. 9 - hades 2 TBD TBD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-iHDj3EwdI Hades is real good and this is more Hades. I respect the heck out of the supergiant guys for always coming out with unique games in different genres and no sequels (bastion, transistor, pyre, hades) -- so the idea of them making another Hades game seems super notable, like they're not going to just do the same thing again. this trailer certainly looks like more Hades but I'm sure there's a lot more to it. anyway, hades and good and so hades 2 will be good. I'll wait for the 1.0 release. 8 - suikoden 1 & 2 hd remaster 2023 pc/switch/consoles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNnhBP_FiXM for those who don't know, I have a near 25 year battle with suikoden 2, a game that has hilariously screwed me over at least 6 times, whether it is game crashes, lost saves or worse. the last time I played it, it corrupted not only my suikoden 2 save 15 hours in, but also every single PS1 save on my vita. I am praying that the curse of suikoden 2 ends with a new release, and I am going to beat that goddamn evil game or die trying. 7 - final fantasy vii rebirth ps5 q1 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2aNzos4qi4 I didn't love ff7 remake part 1 or its newly manufactured story beats (especially that end - yikes), and I don't even plan to play this on release since I don't have a ps5. still, I have to see this thing through just to see what insane ideas they go with. there's seemingly time travel and divergent storylines and probably even more insane stuff. just seeing the proper world of ff7 come together is something I'm really keen on, even if I'm not the one driving the bus. ff7 remake is such a bizarre and ambitious thing and I need to see how/if it crashes spectacularly. 6 - arcadian atlas pc Summer 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_3faIObbrk I've been waiting on this FFT-like for like a decade -- I backed this game when it was still talking up playable Booker DeWitt -- and it's finally almost out. arcadian atlas seems to ascribe to the political backstabbery storyline/depressed chess gameplay that makes the FFT/TO games so good, and while it probably can't hang with the king, it'll still be fun to see it try. I love this genre and am eternally hoping the next game is going to be the one. --- xyzzy ... Copied to Clipboard!

5 - the plucky squire pc, switch, consoles 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr1YO7nxZLU this insane looking game is full of possibility. all kinds of genres and perspectives are here. I'm sure it can't live up to expectations, but that's because what even are the expectations here? just a wildly creative game in all the best ways. 4 - penny blood pc, ps5, next gen nintendo hardware 2025? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzi3WGzr_yY SHADOW HEARTS 4. this will shoot to a very easy #1 when they're ready to show something beyond the most basic tech demo stuff, which will probably be a while. it's still a ways off and probably even gets pushed beyond 2025 because when is the last time these guys actually made a game? it's back in the days in standard definition. 3 - sea of stars pc, switch, consoles 8/29/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZVLA08lcR0 it's kind of a dream: a lovely looking chrono trigger-like that even features music by mitsuda. the tone and feel of this game is right on point for what you'd want. if these guys had any jrpg bona fides to convince me the quality is more than skin deep, oh man. the demo certainly made it seem legit and I'm excited to break in, especially after the last two years have had beautiful throwbacks like fantasian and chained echoes. 2 - dragon quest monsters: the dark prince switch 12/1/23 in japan, this is labeled as dragon warrior monsters 3. like, oh my god? are they really going to bring it back to the classics? I'll be honest - I'm not convinced, but I have to believe regardless. I absolutely adore the old DQM games and just hope it isn't too much like the Joker games that came out in the DS era. those games are okay, but DQM at its best could be a top 10 game all time for me. I think it's probably impossible to bring back those feelings in the same way that it is for Pokemon fans, but I'm hoping against hope. 1 - earthblade pc, probably consoles, maybe switch 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSW8RxkDnSI it's been five and a half years since celeste, the best 2d platformer of all time. this game looks like celeste's absolute precision crossed with an action rpg/metroidvania like ori, and based on what the devs have said, it's everything I could want from a followup. --- xyzzy ...
