---

There are too many games, as I have a passing interest in about 20 games due some to have physcal relesess or ports etc but the mostly likely ones for me are:

Silent Hill 2. Day one, mostly because it's Silent Hill 2 and when we have seen longer gameplay footage it does look good.

Metaphor: ReFantazio. New IP from Atlus, simple really.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed. Think this will be the 3rd TMNT game this year, and this looks like it be the best one and a actaul good movie tie in game for a long while.

Unknown 9: Awakening. One I want to see reviews for, though I am getting Banishers vibes from it and I like a good AA game.

Date Everything. This is going to be great, isn't it?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. If it wasn't for Game Pass this wouldn't be on my radar, yet as I have access to it, feel I'll give ago and the MP BETA was fun enough.

Sonic x Shadow Generations. Year of Shadow.

Life Is Strange: Double Exposure. Love the series, not enough for the early access version with cat DLC mind.

What about guys?

I'll watch out for reviews for:

Starship troopers
A quiet place road ahead
Fear the spotlight

Definite buys are:

FAITH: The unholy trinity - because its a New Blood game.
Shadows of the damned: Hella remastered - because it's Shinji Mikami & Suda 51.

Fear the Spotlight is one that made my October video but not played Crow Country which is good, also Hollow Body on PC looks decent.

Shadows of the Damned, is another got eye on especially being £20. Though kinda like Lollipop Chainsaw gets a physical, even if a import.

Aye, definitely get on Crow Country one of my favourites of the year. Also would prefer SotD physical as well and it looks like you could get it on playasia.

https://www.play-asia.com/shadows-of-the-damned-hella-remastered/13/70h2l9

I live in a house where Sonic X Shadows will be purchased for certain.

I'm not buying Mario Party until Dusty plays 10 games of the last Mario Party with me.

- Ys X!  I'd completely forgotten about that!  After having a good time with VIII and a great time with IX, I'll be watching for reviews of that with interest.  It's probably a Christmas game though, much like Ys IX was.  
- I'll be getting Yakuza Kiwami at some point, I've heard too much that's positive about the series not to give it a go.  (I won't be getting that around Christmas, I don't think it'd be a good one to play in front of the family. )  
- The Lady's interested in Nikoderiko because it looks like it plays like Crash, and I'm interested in it because David Wise does the soundtrack, and it's a co-op platformer so we'll see how that scores.

Go on, Mas.  What have I missed that you think I'd be up for?  (I'm not sure how this tone comes across so I'll say I'm being genuine, I enjoy looking into things you dig up for me.  Bloomtown got a pretty good review from last month's selection!  Reynatis... not so much.)

Well I forgot Neva, was coming out

Umm maybe Slay the Princess or another reviewed elsewhere and now coming to consoles.

I've been playing Zero with Mercy next to me and she enjoys it, though from earleir conversations about Jojo I think my lady and yours have differing tolerances for poor treatment of female characters . . .

Yyyyyyep. I also, in my wisdom, suggested we watch the first episode of a new anime that's just come out, Dandadan. This was not a wise decision. (And not just because of all the Treesmurf cameos.)

Ah now. Slay the Princess is a game I find incredibly interesting, and have looked into in some depth, but never want to play. Partly because it's all about repeating things for different outcomes, and partly because it's all about murdering an apparently unaware innocent. The fact that she's fictional gets lost somewhere in my lizard brain. It's got big horror elements as well. Still though, I'd really advise anybody into more narrative games to look into it, and not just because it's narrated by Jonathan Sims of the Magnus Archives.

Mercy suggested we start that and now I'm intrigued

Quote :

I did have a kinda a good suggestion then with Slay the Princess. It's like one of 20+ games I've got my eye on this month, as I'm curious to check most things out.

Also stuff I've missed such as Crow Country which I now remember has came out due to Fear the Spotlight this month, which now ohh what PS1 style horror game is for me.

Though at the moment playing Elden Ring, got Silent Hill 2 only Amazon had this, Metaphor ReFantazio and Life is Strange DE preordered those are the big three to me in October with Shadow being likely the fourth as I'll get around £12 in points from Game Collection (few games they're giving £10 bonus points at the moment) with Metaphor those will be used on Shadow. That I don't even know when or if I get to a Slay the Princess or Crow Country etc

Do think November is a pretty weak month, maybe then I'll checkout some of the other games or my backlog.

Edit

Of course my list misses stuff like Parcel Corps (a Cappa game?) Which I saw just comeout but at £28 it is a pass from me at the moment. Then you have stuff like Kill Knight that I've never heard anything about, reviewing well though doesn't look like my type of thing.

Thought you might be. Let me know how you get on, I'm going to keep watching for a while.

I don't think Parcel Corp is just a Cappa game given that it's essentially trying to be a Crazy Taxi-like & everyone loves Crazy Taxi. You're right though the 28 quid price tag makes it a hard sell.

Also saw that Kill Knight out of nowhere too and it definitely looks like my thing.
