2025 is already shaping up to be much bigger than 2024 for game releases, especially with so many triple-A bangers on the horizon. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 6 alone will dominate the conversation for months, if it doesn’t get pushed to next year, but even without it, there’ll be plenty to fill your days with. February alone has Avowed, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Monster Hunter Wilds, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Civilization 7, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Like a Dragon: Pirate 𝔍Yakuza in Hawaii. I have no idea how I’m going to finish all of them this year. Aren’t you glad 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin’s Creed Shadows was delayed now?
And that’s just February. We’ll also likely be seeing , 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doom: The Dark Ages, The Outer Worlds 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Stranding 2, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Yotei releasing this year, as well as , , , and . All this before we even consider the Switch 2’s launch and whatever comes wi꧋th that. Are you scared? Becaꦐuse I am.
I can’t imagine many people will be able to play all these games, but some will certainly try. Not me, but y'all stay safe out there. Regardless, reader, I implore you, don’t forget to play some shorter indies between all those blockbusters, because there ꧑are a lot of good ones slated for the next 12 months that will take you way less time to finish than your ꧃standard triple-A. I’ve even listed the ones to look out for so you remember to wishlist them on Steam. Now don’t say I never do anything for you...
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
🃏 Crisis And Confidence: The Development Of Citizen Sleep♚er 2: Starward Vector
Citizen Sleeper 2 developer Gareth Damian Mar⭕tin tells TheGamer about Starward Vector’s tumu♉ltuous development, their impetus to prove people wrong, a
You’re likely to see a lot of TheGamer staff talking about this one this year – after all, it’s the to . The dice-driven RPG is digging even deeper into its tabletop game inspirations, all while telling an ambitious, harrowing sci-fi story about, amꩵong other things, the very real horrors of capitalism. This one even comes out at the end of January, so you can probably finish it before February hits you like a truck. .
Urban Myth Dissolution Center
Gorgeous pixel art style with vibrant colours? C🍸heck. Creepy creatures? Check. Kinda cheeky? Check. has you playing a college student, Azami Fukurai, who’s roped into using her clairvoyance to solve mysterious, potentially supernatural cases. Yes, it’s a detective game. You explore the scene for clues, talk to witnesses, and put together hypothes🍬es by filling in the blanks, kind of like in , but easier. .
Hollywood Animal
Y’all remember The Movies? Hollywood Animal🦄 is kind of li🌞ke that. You take control of a ruined film studio in the 1920s and hire cast and crew to make movies, fighting tooth and nail through every obstacle in your way.
Maybe you🧸r cinematographer keeps showing up to work drunk. Maybe the guy you really really want in your movie refuses to work with you because of some perceived slight. Maybe your director is a jerk, and everybody hates him. You’ll have to find a way to make it work anyway. Hollywood Animal is full ♛of difficult, sometimes unethical choices, showcasing the dark side of showbiz. It’s also great fun if you love management and strategy sims. It releases in early access in February, and you can .
Kingmakers
Kingmakers made waves last year when its trai🃏ler went viral. The action/strategy sandbox game has base-building, troop management, and third-person combat, but its main pull is that you can give medieval knights mo꧙dern weapons. Give your armies bazookas and tanks and watch them absolutely destroy the opposition in real-time simulated combat. Then do it again in online co-op. Delicious chaos. .
Building Relationships
Building Relationships Is The Weirdest Dating Sim I've Ever Played
The most fun a house can have w꧋ithout taking its clothes off.
is probably 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the weird😼est dating sim I’ve ever played, and I say that as high praise. You’re a house trying to romance other building structures, who will hit on you aggressively. Community surveyors will ask you invasive questions about your sexual preferences. You can fish, except you’re catching cars, not fish. It’s full of absurdist non-sequiturs that made me laugh out loud. You roll around the ma🦂p like a ball. It’s incredible. .
Blue Prince
Say out loud, and you get the basic premise of the game. This roguelike is fascinat🐠ing in that instead of being combat-based, you’re maꦗking your way through a manor with ever shifting rooms, choosing from three options what room you’ll find when you open a door.
While the floor plan (Blueprints! Get it?) will change from run to run, some things remain tꦕhe same, and as you collect clues and secrets over time, you’ll presumably eventually get the information you need to make it to the end of the house. This is a game best played with a notebook, and I love a notebook game. This is one of my most anticipated indies of the year. .
Cairn
I really need to play in its finished form – the survival climbing simulator has had a hold on me 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:since I played its demo that I haven’t quite been able to shake. There’s something incredibly meditative about working your way up a rock face with nothing but your four limbs, some snacks and painkillers, a bunch of pitons, and a prayer. Well, it’s me🐎ditative because I can do it from behind a screen and not in real lif🍰e – you will never catch me alive in a bouldering gym. .
