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!

As if my backlog wouldn't be long (I have way over 1k games on Steam) enough, Steam forces me to buy games for cheap all the time. Just today I purchased Mortal Kombat 1 with all DLCs for 7.50 or something. How can I say no as someone who plays fighting games from time to time, and want to see how the MK series evolved?

As if that is not enough, I am also emulating old games from 80s up today and even Switch... As if that wouldn't be enough, I am also playing free to play life service games (only one at a time) like Marvel Rivals...
