Well I played a few things in November. Again I don’t have THAT much to say about them, but I do want to keep going with these posts that I’m always late on.

So yeah, this month I’ll be quickly talking about Mario and Luigi Brothership, Metal Slug Tactics, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D and Space Marine 2.

Also I started Baldur’s Gate 3 at the very end of november… but I won’t talk about it until next month after I’ve played more of it.

Let’s go!

It’s December! I’ll probably do a few posts during the month, near the end, such GotY awards that have way more relevance than Geoff’s VGAs and hype for next year. But there’s also games coming out in december which is pretty cool I guess. Some of them are even interesting.

For December 2024 I am highlighting: 11 multiplats, 3 Switch games and a PC title. I’m not getting much in here I think. One game is for sure, and there’s like 4-5 maybes. Not a huge month, but I’d say a bit better than the average december.

Anyways, let’s go!

Disclaimer: I only list games that I think are worth mentioning. This includes games I’m personally interested in, games that will likely be popular, highly advertised games, some more niche stuff I may notice and such. This is not just games I care about myself, I highlight as much as I think makes sense. Of course, I can’t see the future, so I may be missing games and I may be listing games that may get delayed.

I’m way slow on this post, but whatever.

So October was a month where I don’t feel like I played all that much, most of the month was spent on one game. I played very small amounts of other things, so in the end I don’t even really have that much to talk about.

We’re gonna talk about Metaphor, Card-en-Ciel, Rivals 2,Final Fantasy, Hatch Tales and Undisputed. Sounds like a lot, but most of those I barely played.

Let’s go!

I actually haven’t played that much new stuff in October… I’m still just playing through Metaphor which is taking a while. I did get Card-en-ciel but haven’t started it yet. Ys X is out today but I haven’t picked it up yet. I might not have too much to talk about in my monthly post thing.

So anyway, November. Usually a month with some of the bigger releases of the year… Not this year lol! I’m highlighting: 1 Switch game and 16 multiplats. I’m for sure getting 3 games in there. Not a very big month overall.

Let’s go!

Yeah so I played stuff in September. It was an okay month as far as quantity… despite the quality overall being… questionable. Not really too much to say for an intro, so I guess let’s just get to it.

So this month the new games I played are: Visions of Mana, Gimmick 2!, the new Famicom Detective Club, Gori, Rugrats, The Plucky Squire, UFO 50, FF16 and Echoes of Wisdom… Oh and the Playstation State of Play happened so a quick moment to talk about how bad that was.

Let’s go!

Actually had stuff to play in September, so that’s nice. Still going through FF16 and Echoes of Wisdom and UFO 50, though FF16 is a bit on the backburner. There was also a really bad state of play, which is business as usual for Sony.

So anyways I’m going through the October releases now. There’s a large number of them. This month I’m highlighting 29 multiplats, 2 Switch games, 3 PC releases, and even a phone game. There are a lot of games so I chose to not highlight a few ports and stuff that didn’t seem particularly interesting, just to keep this list manageable.

There are a few interesting releases in all that, which makes sense considering the sheer amount of games. There’s only 3 or 4 I’d say I’m sure I’m getting, but there’s many maybes, and a lot of games that might appeal to different people. Not actually a terrible month.

Let’s go!

August had a bunch of stuff, for me at least. Some stuff that was even good! I’ll talk about those in the august gaming update, but it was pretty nice for me.

For September 2024 I am highlighting: 19 multiplats, 1 Switch game, 5 PC games and… hey look a PS5 game too! It’s not a bad month overall, there’s 8 of these I’m probably buying at/around launch (depending on what I’m playing), and like 5 maybes. That’s a lot. Very few of these are big massive games, but I think they’re pretty cool.

Let’s go!

Another quiet month as far as games played. Still focused a bunch on Mahjong Soul, slowly getting closer to Jade Room. I did play a few games, and went back to Balatro a bit because it’s so fucking good. And I tried a fun little thing that I’ll quickly comment on.

Big focus this month will be on all the presentations that happened… I’ll just talk about 3 of them because nothing else was worth talking about. In fact one of the 3 is also not worth talking about, but dunking on Lizardman is worth.

So let’s go!

Summer time! There’s maybe games I dunno! I won’t have much to talk about in the June post but I have played a few games, and have some commentary on the Xbox and Nintendo thing (and absolutely nothing to say about “Lizardman Geoff Keighley’s Stupid Show Made By A Hack” because holy shit was that a bad show).

So for July 2024 I’m highlighting: 7 multiplats, 7 Switch games, and 4 PC releases. It’s kind of a month without  highlights, there’s just a few mid-level releases. I’m buying like 2 of these games, with a few maybes.

Let’s go!

Ayo. It’s another month. June COULD be interesting because it’s “E3” time so a bunch of companies are doing presentations to announce games and stuff… I’d say there’s a solid 2% chance something interesting will be announced, considering how this year has gone so far (if leaks are true we’re at least getting a new Doom, but I put no trust in leaks). The industry is in shambles and basically no game company cares, it’s actually insane.

And if the State of Play from today is any indication, things will continue being shit. I was planning to post about the State of Play separately… but fuck that, it really wasn’t worth it. If I do a post about “E3” presentations I will mention it there, but as it is… the most interesting game was Infinity Nikki, and that’s a previously-announced game… that’s coming to PC (as are all games that were shown in the State of Play, AstroBot might be the one exception)… The PS5 is such a stupid console, don’t buy it 😀

So for June 2024 I’m highlighting: 7 multiplats, 2 Switch games, a PC release and a PS4 game… Yes, 4. As for big highlights, I can’t say there’s any, considering the biggest thing here is fucking DLC. There’s a few things here I might grab, but it’s another slow month, surprising no one.

Let’s go!
