Now that we're in to February, what are some games you've been eyeing up with a 2026 release date that you're excited to pick up? Are you planning to pick them up on release, or are you going to wait until a sale?

Me personally, I've got three titles I'm actually feeling quite excited for: Hela, Paralives and the Gothic 1 Remake. I've been waiting for Hela and Paralives for years because they look like fun, cozy games built by passionate devs - and the Gothic 1 Remake just popped up in my feed one day and I'm itching to get a chance to have my first Gothic experience!

How'd you like the first Slay the Spire? I've never played it but I've heard good things.

I'm with you though - the list of games I want to play is so long, it's going to be a major time investment to get to them! I've been actually finishing up Oblivion Remastered (trying to 100% all the achievements) and that's already taken a good chunk of my time ๐Ÿ˜…

It's really excellent. Well worth buying even just to finish a run with each character then quit. They all have unique mechanics and cool builds you can make that are pretty game breaking. It does have daily challenges and an ascension system which makes things harder if you want more.

While you're finishing Oblivion, I haven't even started Skyrim ๐Ÿ˜‚! I'm 40hrs into The Witcher 3 and have a bunch of other RPGs/JRPGs/Shooters to play after that.

If you're looking for another roguelike deckbuilder while you're waiting for STS2, may I recommend Chrono Ark? I am finally playing it right now after having it heavily recommended to me for a while, and it's really excellent. Very fun gameplay and a surprisingly interesting story, once it gets going.

Sigh, onto the ~~wishlist~~ backlog it goes!

It looks pretty cool. It's the anime/JRPG x roguelike deckbuilder crossover I didn't know I needed :D

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly it. It's very good, and I say that as someone not really all that into anime.
