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!

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!

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.

Okay I did my GotY post, now let’s stop looking at the past and look at the future… Hopefully 2024 brings just a bit more quality than 2023 did.

I’m just gonna do the usual, just talk about my top 6 most-hyped-for-now games, and then big lists of games I have some level of hype for, and a slightly smaller list of games that might be popular but that I don’t have hype for (some because they’re bad, some because they’re not really my thing).

So let’s go!

Xbox had a presentation. It has things… So let’s talk about it! Sony’s may have sucked, but maybe Microsoft has the goods. I watched Summer Game Fest in part which was pretty lame (I mostly just skipped through it to see if any interesting announcements happened… they didn’t with a BIG maybe on Sonic), and the other presentations were so bad I didn’t even skip through them. This is why there’s no E3, because no one has shit to announce anyways, apparently. Can’t wait for Nintendo to also announce nothing. This is also why I didn’t post about anything else, but I kinda have to make an exception for the big 3, at minimum.

So let’s see if Xbox has anything at all to show. This time, I’m starting with the lowlights and slowly building up to what is certainly a ton of highlights… right? Let’s go! Oh and I guess I’ll mention Starfield in its own section since it goes it’s own section of the showcase, so it’s in none of the lowlight-highlight sections.

Let’s go?
