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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
24. Webbed

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...
Okay, that& #39;s it for now!

24 upcoming titles that I& #39;m looking forward to. I could go on, but I think that& #39;s a huge amount of games to check out for anyone. Hope you find something that tickles your fancy!
