Are there any particular games you’re excited about this year?
For me personally there are quite a few.
First of all, a game I know of forgot about, but recently remembered is Judas. A spiritual successor to BioShock and System Shock 2 is right up my alley. I didn’t love the BioShock Infinite personally, but this sounds like a game more like the previous entries and I’m glad that it is. I’m a little worried that it’s been in development for so long and I hope it doesn’t end up like Cyberpunk, but as long as the story and core gameplay is great, I’ll be patient with the bugs and issues that the game will have. Right now it’s targeting end of March release, but since no official date has been announced I have a feeling it might get delayed towards end of summer/fall.
Another game that I’m also very excited about and also from one of my all time favorite series is Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. This kind of came out of the blue last summer because it seemed like the series was dead after the misfires with Heroes 6 and 7, but I think there is reason to be very excited about. First of all, the developers are massive fans of the series and have a lot of understanding of what made Heroes 2,3, and 5 so good, based on the interviews I’ve seen. This also was a game they proposed to Ubi and not the other way around, so it’s not going to be a game just to revive the IP but more of a passion project. The fact they are going to do a 1 year early access also means that they will have plenty of time to address fan feedback, which is actually they are already doing now even before the game comes to early access just by listening to people in discord, YouTube, reddit, etc. What they showed so far looks like a modern version of Heroes 3 with some new ideas and features taken from other games, which I feel is the right way to go. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel, Heroes 3 is still a masterpiece to this day, just need to modernize it and improve it in key areas. In theory game will enter EA by summer time, so I’m very excited to get back into my favorite turn-based series after a long break.
My final game is not going to be very original. It’s GTA 6. I’m not sure it will actually come out this year, but I’m hopeful. Should be a fun ride based on what we’ve heard so far. They’ll probably milk it for a decade, just like fifth iteration, but I just care about single player component. If it’s as good or better than 5, I’ll be pretty happy.
