July was a bit of a bust, I did play a couple things but… big oof overall. Maybe August will be better. Clearly it won’t have one of the worst games this year, right? Actually there are a few cool things coming, so it might be fine actually. But it does have two of the worst games of the year not named Suicide Squad.

So for August 2024, we’ve got: 19 multiplats and 1 PC early access release that’s interesting… and 1 Switch game I totally forgot about lol (had to edit this post). I have 2 “for sure” games I’m getting and a few maybes too. Depending on my thoughts on it, I might even write a review for one of them! Haven’t done that in a bit.

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.

Oh I’m late on this oops. Well, not like there’s anything exciting coming out recently anyways. Basically just Stellar Blade and that’s temporarily stuck on PS5 because Shift Up were idiots who decided to say yes to the Sony money. I’ll get it once it’s on PC like it was originally announced to be. Might even be un-Sony’d by that point.

So for May 2024 I’m highlighting: 7 multiplats, 2 Switch games and 4 PC games. This is a month without highlights. Like, wow. This year is BAD.

Let’s go!

Oh and I didn’t include Braid again. It was there last month because game devs are just not able to announce release dates correctly.

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!
