It looks like the videosgame industry is nothing but misery, so maybe I should do a thread on games I& #39;m looking forward to for something positive?
Okay then, let& #39;s do this!
1. Hollow Knight: Silksong
This isn& #39;t an ordered list, but seeing as Hollow Knight ranks as one of the greatest games of all time for me, so this might as well be my #1 most looking forward to. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030300/Hollow_Knight_Silksong/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/10303...

2. Baldur& #39;s Gate 3
I still have my original Baldur& #39;s Gate CDs from when the original released way back when, so to say that I& #39;ve been eagerly anticipating this is a bit of an understatement. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/10869...

3. Gloomwood
Loved the demo! Pretty much anything New Blood publishes is gold, but this leans more into the Thief or immersive sim side of things rather than retro shooters, and I am so very here for this. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150760/Gloomwood/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/11507...

4. Lucifer Within Us
Murder mystery game with an interesting timeline mechanic where you expose contradictions in people& #39;s stories, all set within a creepy future digital monastery? You better believe this is one I& #39;m eagerly anticipating! https://store.steampowered.com/app/717560/Lucifer_Within_Us/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/71756...

5. Empire of Sin
Disclosure: I know some of the people working on this one, just so everyone& #39;s aware.
Prohibition era XCom with gangsters that sees you taking over rackets and gunning down rivals? This one couldn& #39;t be more up my alley if it tried. https://store.steampowered.com/app/604540/Empire_of_Sin/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/60454...

6. Fights in Tight Places
This is a game that sets out to ask "what if we crossed Superhot and Slay The Spire?" and having played the demo a while back, it is exactly what you imagine. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1265820/Fights_in_Tight_Spaces/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/12658...

7. Backbone
Disclosure: I& #39;m in this as an NPC!
Backed this one on Kickstarter ages ago because I adored the concept, played the demo/prologue and loved it, really can& #39;t wait for this. https://store.steampowered.com/app/865610/Backbone/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/86561...

8. Boyfriend Dungeon
Backed this one on Kickstarter also, it& #39;s a roguelike dungeon crawler and dating sim, where you date your own weapons! Gotta respect the release date; "when weapons are beautiful enough" https://store.steampowered.com/app/674930/Boyfriend_Dungeon/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/67493...

9. Weird West
Ex-Arkane folks doing a top-down supernatural-tinged western immersive sim? It looks like it& #39;s shaping up to be a positively scintillating gem! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1097350/Weird_West/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/10973...

10. Yakuza: Like a Dragon
I& #39;ve already got a lot of time for anything Yakuza, but how the team just changed up the combat system that had been with the series from its inception? That& #39;s one of the boldest risks I& #39;ve ever seen from the AAA industry. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1235140/Yakuza_Like_a_Dragon/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/12351...

11. Inkulinati
I& #39;m ridiculously enamoured with the artstyle of this, it looks like it& #39;s gonna be incredible fun.
Look at that farting donkey! I& #39;m so here for weaponized flatulence. No, I& #39;ve not matured since I was 5. https://store.steampowered.com/app/957960/Inkulinati/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/95796...

12. Death Trash
Been following the development of this one on twitter for ages, it& #39;s shaping up to be a real special open world RPG with some pretty gorgeous pixelart. https://store.steampowered.com/app/941460/Death_Trash/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/94146...

13. The Last Faith
I& #39;m a sucker for metroidvanias. I& #39;m a sucker for Souls games. So whenever they mash those genres together? I& #39;m a sucker for that too. Salt & Sanctuary, Blasphemous, etc... So I backed this one on Kickstarter too. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1274600/The_Last_Faith/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/12746...

14. Helvetii
Speaking of Kickstarter, another I backed a while ago was Helvetii which looks to be more of a side scrolling 2D character-action game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1094590/Helvetii/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/10945...

15. The Iron Oath
Another I backed on Kickstarter, had been following the progress on twitter, and jumped on it. Gorgeous pixelart, turn-based tactics, oh yeah... I& #39;m into it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/699330/The_Iron_Oath/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/69933...

16. Graven
Just like with Gloomwood, Graven seems to be channeling that early Looking Glass studios/immersive sim vibe, and I am eagerly anticipating it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371690/GRAVEN/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/13716...

17. Book of Aliens
Same developers as Book of Demons, except this time it& #39;s a spin on XCom. This has a great chance to be a really awesome indie spin on the formula, and if there& #39;s one thing I& #39;m a big fan of, it& #39;s XCom style games. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1196230/Book_of_Aliens/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/11962...

18. Steelrising
Y& #39;know, after Greedfall? I& #39;m looking forward to whatever it is Spiders does next, and this looks fascinating. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1283400/Steelrising/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/12834...

19. Rosewater
Point & Click adventure in a alternate-history Steampunk western setting, from the same devs as Lamplight City, which I really liked. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/Rosewater/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/12266...

20. Gestalt: Steam & Cinder
Speaking of steampunk, you know I mentioned I& #39;m a sucker for Metroidvanias? Well, just look at the incredible pixelart on this one! It looks positively lush. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1231990/Gestalt_Steam__Cinder/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/12319...

21. Stirring Abyss
Looks like a spiritual successor to XCom: Terror from the Deep, so another indie XCom style game, which... is definitely pandering to me. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1178210/Stirring_Abyss/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/11782...

22. Radio The Universe
This looks positively beautiful, dark and challenging, it& #39;s got a little bit of that Hyper Light Drifter vibe going on. Watch the trailer, because the screenshots don& #39;t do it justice. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1053900/Radio_the_Universe/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/10539...

CW: Arachnophobia, spiders
Adorable little pixelart platformer where you play a little spider who navigates by building webs. Totally, absolutely gorgeous looking. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1390350/Webbed/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/13903...
